    Some of the main actors and probably the writers/consultants in Dune should be MENA because there's this giant movie series that's specifically building on real MENA history, culture, fashion, religion, and landscapes without any members of that group being represented or much respected.


    Christopher Nolan: Hold my beer.

    Dune is set tens of thousands of years in the future. A future where Frank Herbert (apparently) intended to have a humanity that were closer to what we think of as aliens than humans of today.
    The cultures of Dune have some similarities to and Herbert based some of them on current cultures. But to say MENA types straight up need more representation is missing the point.
    It's not here. It's not now. Some cultural markers here and there may be similar, but it is not the humanity of today, not even remotely.
    Any resemblance is because Herbert was using it as a frame of reference so we could understand something of what was going on.
    It would be more accurate to cast actors with all sorts of multicultural or multiethnic backgrounds because that would probably more closely represent the genetic blurring that would have occurred. Didn't the Bene Gesserit set up whole breeding programs to try and keep things straight to try and bring about their (controllable) Qwizat whathisface? Among other projects?

    It runs about 30 mins, but damn it's interesting. Give at least the first 5 mins a go and see if it grabs you.

    I see FIFA now stands for Fixed It For Argentina.

    I'm wondering if Trump hasn't already called Gianni to have the result overturned.

    But yes, that was so, so very delightful to see.

    Now I have a second reason to like Belgium, after chocolate.

    Your commitment is impressive Tsundoku. Thank you.
    Hmm, isn't that the Japanese word for having a huge pile of unread books?

    thank you very belatedly for the birthday wishes. i just noticed you asked me a question this time. i watched the first season and then failed to keep watching. i was going to catch up at some point but now there doesn't seem to be much point. i know a lot of people are upset about it, but i'm indifferent. i thought the actors were good, but it's just not WoT to me.

    Lol, thank you! I appreciate the sentiment for sure! I know Australia is no stranger to wildfires either, so I hope you have a calm and peaceful summer there.

    Thank you! Yeah I'm at a pretty safe distance, fortunately. I know a few people who have been impacted, but they're all safe.
