Andrew Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Well me and some others from FED2K have come up with a game called Dune Jihad! It is similiar to Risk! in that you get armies from territories you own, you get cards and you conquor territories. Most information based on the game can be found here, with the history of how it came to be so far.and also the website that is in my signature(or website in my personal info=same thing)The question most people are asked when they saw both the movie and mini is which do you prefer? I prefer the mini, maybe because I seen it first. I own butlerian jihad, the movie film version of dune(DVD) and special edition DVD of the mini. I own dune 2000 and have played the rest of the games.I cant wait for CoD mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chani Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 you know.. i actually really enjoy the lynch film.i know lots of people hate it.. but i'm very fond of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Lynch did not make a carbon copy of Frank Herbert's Dune. At the same time though it captures the mood and feelings that are exactly from the book in my opinion. the dress, the acting, the sets, it is so lavish. That is what I love about lynch's movie. The mini is great but it fails to either copy Dune completely or give the atmosphere that lynch's Dune gave. that is how I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chani Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 yeah.. i think you about summed it up right there.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 yes, the long version of lynches Dune is better because it shows more aspects of dune. I still like mini, maybe because i saw it then read all the books, then saw Lynch's film. It doesnt matter they are both Dune so they are both good.

Chani Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 i did it in the other order.. watched lynchs dune first.. the shorter version. thought "WTF?!?!?!" and asked a friend to explain and he was so passionate about it that i thought i should maybe read it. read it.. watched the longer version and realised i should have watched the long version first hehe. but then i might never have read it and be as obsessed as i am now! and the rest, as they say.. is history!!

Vanguard3000 Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 I agree 100% with TMA on the movie/mini thing.Anyway, Chani: How long is the "long version"? I'd like to get the DVD, but I have very little money, and I already have the VHS one, which is about 2 hours, 16 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chani Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 It has 35 minutes extra footage that was cut form the cinema version and a longer better prologue.. but i dont know exactly how long it is. It has a man talking through the introduction instead of Irulan too.. which is better and everything is explained better. I think they just decided to cut out all the conversation that made it make sense for the cinema version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 i didnt know there was an extended version until after i bought DVD. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just decided to cut out all the conversation that made it make sense for the cinema version!Ahh, I have the MP3 of that intro, and I hate it. Most of the info is wrong, and it's not as well done as Irulan's prologue. Also, the fact that Irulan reads the prologue is a very good idea, since she is the one who more or less documents Muad'Dib's life through her books.I thought this man-prologue was from the infamous "Alan Smithee Version", rather than the actual extended version?

Mahdi Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 The Allen Smithee version is the extended, TV version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Yeah, I just thought that the extended prologue was only in the Alan Smithee version, that's all. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Guerrilla Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 (This is off-topic) Allen Smithee has to be Hollywood's least appreciated director.I first saw the extened version of Dune when there used to a thing called video disc and it was from Japan still about the only way you can see it unless someone here has it on DVD.

Vanguard3000 Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 I thought Alan Smithee was a "pen-name" of Lynch's, because he didn't want his name associated with the long version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Allen Smithee is the name used in the credits of a movie/tv show when a director does not want to be connected to this particular work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I have the "allen smithee" version of Dune on VHS. I talked about the misconceptions of Dune with the beginning of the extended version being falty with the timeline vanguard. glad I am not the only one that saw that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 TMA: lol. 6041? 10,192??? ;)Anyway, what's the rest of the A.S. version like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 well it includes stuff like more dialog with the emperor and the navigater, more stuff with paul and his three teachers, more scenes with the baron. You arent missing much. I was hoping it would include the cut scene with thufir dying at the end and other stuff. but it didnt.Yup it did mess up.lol but the stills are kinda neat looking. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 How can it not have the Thufir dying scene??? Isn't it like 5 hours long? That scene would have been the first thing I'd add if I were making a "director's cut".And the extra dialogue between Shaddam and the Nav: Is that the part where he says stuff like "The spice has kept us under accelerated evolution for 4000 years, it has allowed you to live 200..."? I remember seeing a script once, where the Nav said the Spice helps in the creation of the Mentat's Sapho, which is totally groundless.
