Is that all James Horner should have paid attention to? 

Well, it was the motionless picture. Lotion would definitely help. 
 
Unless you have a vow of celibacy on file with Starfleet.

That seems culturally insensitive.

Note: currently work in progress - I haven't double checked the order of the material within episodes on osts 1, 2, or 6 yet - ost2 in particular may not be in order.
Based on the back of the cd case it's also possible some of the material from ost1 is edited suites. I'm fairly confident all material on osts 3, 4, and 5 is in the correct order

The Peacekeeper Wars
 

In the last week, having had no prior experience to Dune whatsoever, I watched David Lynch's Dune. I enjoyed it quite a bit, I didn't quite grasp 50% of what was happening and the pacing takes an absolute nose-dive in the last third, but I still felt Lynch's touch and there was some wonderfully inventive concepts and the patented twisted Lynch weirdness (I laughed so hard at the scene with the cat). Gorgeous visuals as well, the set and costume and creature design was next level, with only a few shots feeling very clearly they were done on the cheap even for the time.

Then I watched Villeneuve's the following night.

I found it incredibly meh. To the point that I don't want this to achieve enough success to set the precedence that this is what we should get more of, it contains nearly everything that un-enthuses me about modern blockbusters. I'm surprised this was a Villeneuve movie honestly, granted I've only seen Bladerunner 2049 and Arrival, but other than the strangely large and sparse rooms with fog machines I couldn't feel much of his vision at all.

So then I re-watched Lynch's Dune. I grasped about 70% of what was happening this time and it definitely contributed to my enjoyment, I had initially written off the second half entirely but this re-watch made me realize there's some really good scenes in that second half that are just missing in-between content to be really effective. My appreciation for Kyle MacLaughlan's Paul Atreides was firmly cemented, the precocious noble-like character was far more interesting of a performance than the dime-a-dozen angsty teen protagonist I found in Villeneuve's Dune. MacLaughlan was surprisingly likeable in the role for the kind of character Paul is, the gentleness he brings makes the moments that he stands up and shouts as a leader all the more powerful. Despite that, the last third I still found to be a bit of a rushed mess.

Then I watched some videos on the behind the scenes of the production, and realized why exactly this movie ended up the way it is which lead to me a surprising discovery - an extended cut was made. However, it was rather haphazardly thrown together for TV, with the additional content not bothering to rotoscope the 'spice eyes'. That's when I heard of 'Dune Alternate Edition Redux', a 2 hours and 57 minutes fan cut that incorporates extended edition and deleted scenes footage, with re-editing, billed as the closest thing to Lynch's original vision as we'll ever get.

And my god, it was magnificent. Now I grasped 95% of what was happening. It completely transformed the movie and utterly fixed the pacing of the second half. Some of those extra scenes were amazing, and I got to see versions of some of scenes that were in Villeneuve's Dune but not the original cut of Dune 1984. I can now say I do not prefer a single thing about Villeneuve's Dune compared to Lynch's.

Your moviegoing experience does not need me to visit a movie theatre in a different province or country in order for you to have a better experience. 
 
That's like saying your medicine does not work unless I also take my medicine. 

It needs to. The titular character is picking up the pieces of Jabba Desilijic Tiure left scattered over the Pit of Carkoon, and moving those pieces' story forward. 

Trailer dropped.  First episode hits D+ on December 29th.
 
 

I don't burn CDs that often, but when I did, it was very easy to get the dreaded buffer underrun error if you were doing too much on the computer at the same time, if your speed was too high and your memory was over taxed. 
 
It was easy to burn CDs that would not read on older drives, while pressed CDs will typically be readable on all drives (notwithstanding scratches and mfg defects). 
 
I used to have a burner that could write at 52X, but the discs weren't readable on older drives. I typically burn at 16x to be safe now, and just step outside for a smoke until it's done. 

John Williams is the greatest human being ever.  Period.  That's a scientific fact.

I never thought about it either. 
 
Too bad Miguel is no longer with us. Not that the wacky scientist from RoboCop had the screen gravitas to play Shaddam IV. 
 
That will be a major role to cast. 
 
I want Kyle McLachlan. 

Tchaikovksy, symphony 4. Now THIS is music!

Yea the drift is horrendous on mine.  Luckily, ever since I got my Fixture S1 , I can just easily use the  Pro Controller when handheld, and it is GLORIOUS

I loved my old computer but he just passed away.
 
Moving to the superior level!
 

But it looked so COOOOOOOOOL. 
 
You know it never occurred to me that Jose Ferrer is in both Lawrence AND Lynch's Dune!

Maybe so that when Chani asks Paul "tell me of the waters of your home world, Usul," he has a better story to tell her. 
 
We had so much water, we stored our ships there. 
 
Is Caladan a desert country?
No: a fat country. Fat people.
You are not fat?
No. I'm different.

This looks like McCreary's score will be bigger than big. I'm really excited!!

I'm hoping that Part 2 features some "meanwhile" moments. 
 
As was mentioned earlier, one of the major Atreides personnel survives the attack and wants revenge. The catalyst for that revenge is the thought that Jessica betrayed Leto instead of Yueh. There was no mention about what a Suk doctor is, let alone they have perfect loyalty and cannot be bought. Lol. 
 
Can we see a "meanwhile" scene that shows the surviving character's POV and why they would suspect her? That character will trigger Paul's motivation for Act 3 of the first book. 

All the extra Duncan scenes will pay off in the long run if they turn additional novels into movies. We're getting attached to him now. 
 
This is the spoiler thread. Duncan Idaho is dead. 
 
But death in the Duniverse is not forever. There are ways to return, and these form the chains between all the other books. 

Gosh, Glory made me cry. Very good movie.

It could be. Dune Messiah is a short book and could be tacked onto the end of Dune. It would give Paul a complete story arc. 

Dune 2 has been given the green light!

Speaking of cats, I can't get into this score. It's just electronic synthesized cat farts. 

Jamis serves at least one important role. Paul dreams about him before he meets him, and Jamis says some things. 
 
Then when they meet, something else happens which prevents that dialog from happening in the real world. 
 
This shows that Paul sees multiple possible futures, instead of only just one.
