Dune....Shai-Hulud

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

Dear Santa...

[Madowstone]

If the movie was more like the books... they should had made movies at least up to part 3... also one of the best scifi-movies ever.

[framcehardcore]

a profound hatred of man!

[SuperHeroMania]

I fucking love Dune

[aeonflux67]

2.59: "USUL has called a big one. Again it is the legend!" = This must rate as possibly the greatest understatement in the SCI FI movie genre.

[squamish4244]

I always wondered after reading the book why a huge creature like Shai-Hulud would be bothered by a little sand in a tiny exposed area...oh well, still cool idea.

[EarthTremor]

@squamish4244 you ever gotten a grain of sand in your eye?

[squamish4244]

@EarthTremor Yes, good point.

[squamish4244]

@EarthTremor This movie with the bizarre ah-chaaa gun and all the other shit, however...blech.

[fastold]

@squamish4244 yeah in the book it was mostly knife fighting I think

[Kalenos]

@fastold Yea. the whole sound gun nonsense is a pretty big deviation. It's supposed to be a martial art(the wierding, I mean).

[swingfire0011]

Why is the Enfant Terible of Directing David Lynch could balls up a masterpeice

[Wurminfektion]

Fuck atreides

[Amosral]

This film would have been so much better if they'd actually followed the plot from the book rather than making their own half-assed alterations.

[TheTyaptyap]

34 people are disgruntled sand worms

[sandcrawler200]

Grand Theft Hulud IV: Lost Episodes of Arrakis

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

34 people have taken the water of life!!!

[ChenIvanKo]

just watched this half an hour ago and was impressed.......probably cause i was drunk lol

[iainhead]

Bet if he only summoned a small worm they would have all been like 'oh right, no quite the legend then'

[asdfghjkl9260]

3:05 epic goosepumps!

[lostagne]

holy shit. wonder how they made the scene when the worm pops up :O

[Datathief100]

@lostagne You lost me there..... Oooh, oooh, did you mean a nob in a sand pit? Haha!!

[elmarw]

34 people got eaten by the sandworm

[wcdornez]

Amazing stuff.

[direweasal]

0:44 that's a long name for a shovel...

[WolfySnackrib666]

I can't think of anything more epic caught on film than the sandworm.

[TheGodParticle]

I get it, alien planet, no sea or waves. so they resort to Worm surfing.

[faceman667]

5:02 he plays air guitar

[faceman667]

at 5:05 he sais now we are ready for battle but his mouth dosent move

[Uthic]

@faceman667 He's thinking it.

[WolfySnackrib666]

@faceman667 They are telepathic, numbnuts.

[grandadpoppyable]

Its a bit big to use for bait.

[shauntbarry]

35 people drank the water of life and died

[58Bo21]

One of the last great films with tricktechik ... and not this lame Joda jumping of our days ... ;)

[Notna1000]

worm's mouth looks like a vagina

[BVargas78]

For all it's flaws this movie does have it's moments

[EmpireLS56KW]

2:27 now all we need is a few sandworm sub bass thumpers for the home cinema and we’re sorted!

[decapattack]

Just one thing i couldn't never understand even when i was a child - and its a BIG flaw - its why, at the time of the book ( 10000+ years ) they didnt sinthetyse the Spice Melange

[CSGraves]

@decapattack In the first book, Herbert states that the spice could not be synthesized. And if someone tried, I bet Muad'Dib would put a stop to that pretty quick!

[spacecowboy5000]

@decapattack Also, in the prequel books written by Frank Herbert's son, Brian, some people called the Tleilaxu have been trying to synthesize Melange for centuries. They've come close but there's an element missing that keeps them from making a good replacement. Something to do with worms.

[spacecowboy5000]

[aeonflux67]

@decapattack = maybe the cost of getting a patent has increased to such ridiculous levels by 10,000AD then that its better to take your chance with worms the size of football fields and go get it yourself armed only with a fork and a device that looks suspiciously like a Rook but has the added feature of making cool acoustic noises.

[700gsteak]

@aeonflux67 Not to mention that by this time big corporations have lobbied the reigning government to extend patent lifetimes to 10000 years plus.

[shkotay]

@decapattack They mention in the first book that it had been repeatedly tried by that point but nobody could do it, so all they could do was depend on the natural resource which existed on one planet in the entire known universe. In the later series many thousands of years past that they did figure it out and broke the monopoly.

[decapattack]

The Dune Universe is one, if not the best, sci-fi world ive ever read! Absolutely fantastic!

[heatflash888]

Lots of little errors in this film, the eyes that occasionally weren't coloured in or here the tuft of grass (0.19) that shouldn't exist.

[belvederakos]

fantastixc movie,a true science fiction story

[balerinauzicka]

This slug can seen as a doodad in Starcraft desert mapping.

Check it out.

[Mrster]

@kelmorian178

Hehe yeah, dead.

[CitizenAngel]

I wonder if the film Tremors was in any way inspired by the worms from Dune.

[Kirzan66]

@CitizenAngel Haha, I hope this is sarcastic.

[SnIkLeeT]

Will humanity even be around in 8000 years?

[belloneti]

The wrost movie ever made

[KarinMikazuki]

@belloneti

wrost? mkay.

[1shoryuken]

@belloneti l wouldn't say its the worst film ever made; it had great actors, awe production designs and beautiful cinematography. The movie could of been an underrated sci-fi masterpiece if Lynch had full control of the project.

[thx1184]

@belloneti go watch twilight or something

[1shoryuken]

if they do remake it they better keep the Air guitar moment when riding a freaking huge ass sandworm.

[TheCGIMaster]

I love the awesome Air guitar when he is riding Shai Hulud its fuckin EPIC

[L4s4gn3]

0:51 "Here! Take this shovel and this chess figurine."

[Gizziiusa]

@L4s4gn3 ...while wearing your "Harley Davidson" full leather bodysuit and extended length jump-rope.

[aeonflux67]

@L4s4gn3 =lmbo thats a good one!!!

[mihaiintunecatul]

name of song near the end please?

[oryjen]

Noone can make a good movie after that initiating text. This must be read only to operate properly.

[gianka9574]

stupendo

[gianka9574]

notevole

[ollie370]

I meant FRANK, sorry my bad typing

[ollie370]

OK its not prefect, but Ferank Herbert himself appoved fo the style and direction of Lynches Dune...the TV MINI SERIES IS JUST A PIECE OF RAT TURD

[iBrochacho]

what are the cords in there noses

[humungus3]

@iBrochacho The cords in their noses are meant to capture the moisture expelled by their breath.

[weirdsoup]

@iBrochacho I'm guessing you're not familiar with the stories? Anyway, the Fremen are a desert people and the clothes they wear are called still-suits which preserve and reclaim the body's water. The nose tubes collected the moisture from the air they breath out.

[Bonzenpunk]

Shai Hulud = شئ خلود = eternity

the arabic themes contribute so much to the mood in this movie...i think it is the only example of arabic images used in scifi.

the display of mysterys, philosophy, meditation, math, religious images as well mind over body controll is a reminder for forgotten positive sides in arabic ancient literature.

baheyeldindotcom/literature/ar­abic-and-islamic-themes-in-fra­nk-herberts-dune.html

[zoozoobugz]

the nose tube collects moisture from the breath to recycle, they are supposed to breath out with it . There is a face mask that filters the air when they breathe in, although they are not wearing one here

[noshow612]

nice ... ahem ... spade?

[cmsahe]

moving!

[keflar5]

this film is great,people need to stop asking for BIG films to be made give me a break. This film makes you want to read the books, why would anyone bother their ass in this day and age to go read LOTR after seeing the film

[aeonflux67]

Exactly what does this worm feed on? Not like it would have a small appetite

[CIarKent]

@aeonflux67 the worm eats the Spice. the Spice is the only thing it needs because it's a source of huge power. don't you see all that lightening coming from the worm?

[Ins3minator]

Avatar and Matrix were inspired by Dune

[philbateman1989]

@Ins3minator Avatar I can see the connection, an outsider leads the oppressed natives to freedom and victory. The Matrix? Where do you see any similarity?

[Ins3minator]

@philbateman1989 Watch Matrix II, in general politics and religion play a major role in those movies, Dune can be seen in many more movies..

[jameslyle24]

lol,i love how the microphone looks alot like moustaches,it makes me laugh seeing the kids have moustaches rolf

[jadefalconmk1]

@jameslyle24 They're not micriophones, its so that you can still breath when there is a sandstorm. It's also possible theres a lot of fine sand and dust on Arrakis.

[POPscornMovies]

!!!

why haven`t you seen this movie yet.. fool

[LiBrA86]

Dune was amazing, I need to get it on Blu-Ray or something.

Anyone else think that even the special edition / directors cut thing at 4 hours still wasn't long enough?

lmao

[PsychotronicWar]

BEST MOVIE E-V-E-R no matter what people say. It talks about the future of our planet if you don't get it...

[gianka9574]

straordinario film immagine bellissime con musica superlativa... in poche parole bellissimo....

[Breezewontspeak]

What the hell do those worms eat?

[nutherefurlong]

People... Vehicles...

I think in the ecology of dune Herbert talked about there being a lot of "sand krill" or something, like whales eat. They scoop them up as the cut through the sands.

Not 100% sure. Good question, though.

[zooshipcaptain]

They feed from their youngs; it's a cannibalistic auto-cycle.

[trubblebass]

The spice, the other inhabitants of Dune (meaning the odd native creature and the miners) and they also eat quite alot of their young. Only a few from each generation survive.

[Joaquin602001]

If the Lynch movie got one thing right, it's that the sheer scale of the sandworms comes across completely.

[patrulheironelson]

ele conseguiu destruir uma das melhores partes do livro.

[dealermando]

these giant-worms, they look like my monster cock !!!

something huge !!!

[gwz]

- So special effect team, how did you manage to turn Herbert's words into these amazing, lifelike creatures that makes the whole audience gasp in awe?

- We didn't.

[nbaietti]

the explanation for work riding is very interesting: use the shovel to open a crack on the worms segments so it cant burrow due to the exposed tender flesh, it will roll that part as far away from the sand as possible, just grab onto it and your on top of the beast... use hooks to let others climb and that's it...! I wish the whole Dune cannon used the threepartid worm mouth... its sooooooo cool!

[FreiherrHarkonnen]

Этот фильм смотреть только тем, кто не читал Фрэнка Герберта, иначе -перезагрузка матрицы.

[TheGodParticle]

worm surfing... find a beach pal.

[yuranius]

damned some1 should make a big budgeted movie of this, not some transformer crap

these books deserve the best movie ever

[CerebralHunter]

@yuranius I agree. Dune deserves a movie at least as big as LotR.

[iburnedthedinner]

@yuranius It's on it's way, from what I've read. Done right, this would be better than Lord Of The Rings

[PsychotronicWar]

@yuranius : For many, DUNE represented futuristic tales. Now, in 2010, it is more than obvious that it talks about a future Earth where Water will be the center of everything. Thus, you are absolutely right, it deserves a remake...

[ListenToMcMuck]

@yuranius R U talking ´bout something like P.Jakshorn producing 'The Lord of U Worms'? ^^

@ranxid THX 4 showing this version!

muck

[Videshi2001]

@yuranius

Watch the miniseries that follows the first three books. Great adaptation, though some people don't like it's theatrical style.

[Yarpsnesan]

@yuranius Never have I seen a comment more true than this...

[aucteakwondomaster]

[danpayne118]

a real fremen would never walk around without his hood / facemask on but its just so you can see which actor is which XD

[EnemyCombatant74]

9 seconds in and i can see why MEN are going to be hating life, any day now.....

Women on the other hand, you wouldn't believe the "future" written for them....

psst

GM ------ LES BE FRIENDS ------- AI

[MortenVelde]

@EnemyCombatant74 Are you aware of what future insight your touching with those words?

Women are already controlling this planet. Or at least female ideals, and the ideals themselves don't mind it, the else losers they would be. It's hard to explain, but easy to see when gays can adopt your kids and pedophiles get flowers and cash cause they was jailed "sick in their head"

The list is endless. Wake up sleepers!

[EnemyCombatant74]

the thing about "prophecy" is one can never fully navigate through the "fog of war" to see what really lay in the "place they dare not look"....

but, we know what's there, don't we?

yes, the time is upon us, and the sleepers, WILL AWAKEN

"they" have no choice....

[phinxlion]

freemen do this when there 12.

[musicianhayd]

woahhh it's almost exactly how i imagined it when i read the book :O

[Jakaroukla]

The sleeper has awaken !

[wokpitt]

fear I must not fear fear is the mind killer......

[danpayne118]

great book crap film

[spacemanGoldie]

I'm going to buy this dvd

[shadowbot09]

This film only captures a fragment of the plot in the books. But it was a good attempt any ways

[pikewerfer]

I thought so too - the best attempt so far in my view.

[Mrster]

Big Ed and agent Cooper hunt worms.

[Clapaucio]

@Mrster yes, Big Ed left his gas station and agent Cooper also left the FBI, and now are sandworms hunters, jejeje

[jone4s]

i like the extended shai-hulud scene where stilgar explains what to do.. it adds a lot more atmosphere.. and makes it more exiting.. too bad that they cut it out.......

: /

[VannevarBush]

You inglorious basterds have dishonored Shai-Hulud by your filthy comments. Marked all of them as spam.

The goddess prevails, suckers!

HAIL ERIS!

[THEHowellmanIsBack]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...Shai-Hulu­d.

[Freakinstien88]

thats one big ass fuckin worm!

[LarryScottBB]

5:02 the name of this song??????????????

[FredoGeex]

that's just the ending of the song, the whole music is one track, but I want it tooo!:D

[LarryScottBB]

Found!

the title is "big battle"

[ShasoDnarb]

Frig, talk about the fucking worm already! :)

[stormtroopernl]

I love this movie

[sitsutam]

I have seen this as many times as, no, more times than I have seen star wars.

[SCOTCHSOLACE]

Best movie ever made.

[stardingo747]

But then again I suppose that is why its called "sci fi."

also, you dumbshit, Herbert was hardcore on the science stuff; there is no way in hell, people of Scandinavian ancestry would survive on arrakis, protective suit and all. It makes PERFECT sense the Fremen would in fact, be the distant descendants of Arabs.

[JflyG]

they aint even walkin right the worms would be there in a second

[losputtanatore]

I Have the big pene for you

[LakerKev]

There's yet another Dune remake in the works. I hope Peter Berg doesnt screw it up, I hated "Hancock". I think the Sci fi channel did a good remake with their mini series Dune and Children of Dune.

[Srachko]

Can somebody tell me more about the song playing in background and starting somewhere after 5:00 ? Theese few notes make me crazy and I want the whole thing o_O.

[zeeboister]

It's on the Dune soundtrack by Toto, track 20. :)

[DJRevan]

Called 'Big Battle by ToTo' and that notes makes me chill out, too :)

[spiritscar]

As courageous as David Lynch is a filmmaker, if he truly had any balls, he would go back and make a proper 3 hour directors cut for this film. This film was treated very unfairly, eviscerated at the time because it was ambitious and different, two things the establishment hates. The only thing that keeps Lynch from making a directors cut,

is what if he did, and it was still rejected. You wouldn't think David Lynch would care about something like that, apparently part of him does.

[Kurotaisa]

BtW: Fuck Luke skywlaker, he can't ride a worm 2 1/2 KM long

[Kurotaisa]

Am I the only one whos Pissed that they used an actor who looks like a sissy for Paul "Survives a Nuclear bomb" Muad'dib Atreides

[stardingo747]

what most pisses me off about being born in this time period is that I will never get to see such magnifiscent creatures.

[stardingo747]

I'm sorry but, I don't think Beduin Arabs are man enough to tame sandworms.

[stardingo747]

Arabs are a bunch of pussies though; there is no way ANY of them could tame a creature like the sandworm of Arrakis.

"Selim the wormrider" my ass.

Pussies.

[stardingo747]

In the remake, the Fremen will have to be played by Arab or at least southern Italian actors; I downloaded the book recently and Herbert strongly implies, that the Fremen are the distant descendants of the Arabs. Their desert countries are not enough for them; apparently the Arabs want an entire planet that's a desert.

[fealhach]

The first Fremen Gurney meets after the Harkonnen attack is blonde haired and blue eyed. He's killed by the Saduhkar not long after.

[stardingo747]

Whaaaat?

Dude I have the Dune Novel; and the Fremen are NOT described as blonde haired and blue eyed.

you must be talking about the series or something; fuck you.

[fealhach]

'The Fremen across from Hawat threw back his hood and stillsuit cap to reveal sandy hair and beard. The hair was combed straight back from a high thin forehead. He had the unreadable total lue eyes of the spice diet. Beard and moustache were stained at one side of the mouth, his hair matted there by pressure of the looping catchtube from his nose plugs'.

Either the person who read it to you missed it out or you don't know what colour sand is. Either way, you're an idiot. :D

[stardingo747]

Stained by SAND you DUMBFUCK, Herbert was refering to the fact that there is so much fucking sand on arakis, that even with those suits, sand gets on their hair and beard.

and the blue on blue eyes is a side effect of the spice. Both the whites and the iris of the eyes turn blue.

The Fremen are Arabs dude; live with it.

Although, they would be too pussy to tame something like a sand worm but even bigger pussies would be people of scandinavian ancestry.

[stardingo747]

Also, you DO know how many American soldiers who are white are toppled by heat stroke in Iraq right? You DO know that right?

Shut the fuck up and go spout your bullcrap elsewhere before you hurt yourself typing you're so stupid.

[fealhach]

Do you get hysterical over everything, boy?

I didn't mention that I thought the Fremen were Scandinavian, merely that after 8000 years, the races we know probably won't exist and the disparaging comments of their Arabic ethnicity are unnecessary and ignorant. I'd imagine the Fremen to have a whole range of skin colours, the one common feature being the eyes

So now grow up, get some balls and take yourself down to a dojo. You might be able to burn off some of that impotent adolescent rage. ;)

[stardingo747]

Nope; it even says on the "Dune" apendix, that the Fremen descend from wandering Arabs. If anything space faring will likely make it, that precisely because the races can't stand each other countries will ask for their own planets.

So you know what I think of your comment, go to the youtube search engine and type "James Bond's testicals," look for a poster called "cure for road rage"

[fealhach]

I'm getting bored with you so I'll make this my last comment. No doubt you'll insist on having the last word but who am I to deny you another fake Christian Bale-style tantrum?

Frank Herbert mixed current cultures to use as a basis for the peoples in his universe: Caladan(Spanish-Greek), Arrakis(Japanese-Arab). Taken literally, such mingling wouldn't really make much sense so it must be implying a general mix of the world population as it spread out into space. You can now start your hissy fit.

[stardingo747]

actually, the descendants of the Japanese are Sardaukar, they're basically Samurai on steroids, and, apparently Herbert did not have too high an opinion of them.

Japan is a tiny country, and it put up a fight that America felt they had to drop a nuke on it, live with it.

[livetoriga]

Says you, nerd

[stardingo747]

no, says the source.

give it up; my dick's bigger than yours so, that confers upon me non-nerd status.

[livetoriga]

No it's not. Nerd.

[stardingo747]

if your dick was big you would not be starting fights on youtube.

also, its been confirmed; people who question other men's manliness have no manliness where it counts they need to compensate by being loud like you.

[livetoriga]

Oh yes I would. NERD!

[stardingo747]

needle cock.

shut the fuck up you can't even satisfy a woman.
