Duncan Idaho was killed after arriving on Arrakis, by Harkonnen insurgents, IIRC... after making contact on behalf of House Atreides with the Fremen. A clone “Ghola” version of him is resurrected and survives through the rest of the series.
Arrow down, arrow down, arrow down... Hm. Mouse wheel roll, mouse wheel roll... Hm. <grabs roller ball mouse and uses hand to roll the mouse ball down, multiple times>... Hm... Grabs the scroll bar to the right, and drags it down and down, repositions mouse, down, down, down... Finally!
Fair enough. So let us have some clarification here. I am not stating specifically that Iraq and the subsequent conflicts in that particular nation are the exact influence for Dune.
As long as you keep the “Latest” option available, so we can have a version of the site that isn’t a UX fever nightmare, I could care less about the layout.
Redesigns don’t make us mad. It’s the cubic buttload of clickbait ads we have to wade through, and also seeing that one guy’s face for weeks at a time. I forgot his name, but unfortunately won’t forget that image that would never end.

I would get the audio book if you like the story. Lynch’s movie wasn’t his and he never got to finish it his way. If you have slogged through the 4 hour version then you will know what I mean.

The point was, there were conflicts going on in the middle east over oil (as well as other places in the world) while Herbert was alive. And Iran became Iran in 1935.
So no, it wasn’t Persia then. Actually.
The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953,[5] orchestrated by the United…
All 9 Star Wars movies are essentially the equivalency of a couple episodes of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” when compared to Dune.
Having recently read the book to prep for the movie release and having seen the original Lynch movie, I really like reading reactions from folks who are going in totally blind.
Usul, we have Goatse the likes of which even God has never seen.
I’m really excited for this movie. And I understand that there’s only so much they can do, design-wise, with a giant worm.
