‘It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion.’

It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion.

It is from the Juice of Java that the thoughts acquire speed.

The thoughts acquire speed.

The hands develop shaking.

The shaking becomes a warning.

It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion.

Adapted from here – and, obviously, originally, here.

‘The Great Showdowns.’

Fun site that was just sent to me. A taste:

“My name is a killing word” is a serious badass line.  Assuming, of course, that you can pull it off.  And assuming that the other guy’s seen Dune.

Third time’s the charm on Dune?

Good luck on that.

It’s been two years since Peter Berg confirmed he was attached to direct the third adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction novel Dune. Of course, the first adaptation was auteur David Lynch’s avant-garde, torpid 1984 film, the second being Sci Fi Channel’s miniseries in 2000. But little has been said about this third attempt to corral the story of Paul Atreides and his family amidst a futuristic feudal interstellar empire as they take control of the lone source of spice melange, the most valuable resource in the universe. It’s no wonder Dune has proved a worthy foe when condensed into film form.

(H/T: @MelissaTweets) I don’t know why people hate the David Lynch Dune so much. Yes, turgid. Have people read the blessed book? Half of the action is going on inside people’s heads.

With apologies to Herbert and Bonewitz.

The one wrote the original creed for Dune and the other adapted it while writing Authentic Thaumaturgy*. I just altered the adaptation back in a couple of places.
