Poll: When you hear "Dune", you think of...

[XavierHarkonnen]

Definately the books, I've got the entire series prequels, original series, and the endings that never should have been written... All the same though I absofuckinglutely love the books and am currently reading through them again.

+ 1 cookie if you figure out which book my name is from.

 

[The Aimless One]

Frank Herbert's excellent work.....naturally.

Also the first movie, not quite so excellent.

And the first two games. Both quite brilliant.

The second one is actually the father of most modernday RTS games. (As opposed to the C&C series wich was years later). Dune II Battle for arrakis that is.....Not the 2000 thingy!

 

[Lordmarkus]

The pioneering RTS

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

The Oblivion Mod.

It's basically an expansion pack, but it's fan-made.

I think of the lyrics to Final Fantasy by Duane and Brando. "I am the Fighter,(name's DUNE) I'm the leader of the gang. Can't use any magic but I'm critically acclaimed."

Milking cats...thats what Dune remins me of! That film was strange.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I think of a game that I was working on a couple years ago called Dune's End. It eventually got too buggy though, and had to be put down.

books first, then the 2000 miniseries.

The Spice Must Flow

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

In this order:
1. The excellent book series.
2. Baja truck. Don't ask why.
3. Iraq
4. The movie, which I thought was pretty good.

 

[mrF00bar]

The Dune books.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

"I will kill him!"

 

[SovietSecrets]

The video game first and then the sandy hills.

 

[Folio]

Muad'dib! Muad'dib!

I missed that line in the thread too. Anyway, my dad reads the books so I chose 'books'. He can explain the entire universe of Dune as if it's scientifically proven. I've also watched the old movie and the new movie including the sequel.

a sandy hill and giant worms

 

[Abedeus]

Considering nobody I know even knows the meaning of the word "Dune" in Polish, I know it as the book series. Although I never read it.

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

Well, since I'm in the middle of reading the first book, I think of the books.

 

[Jeremy Skitz]

Tatooine

 

[rt052192]

i do not want the movie dune in my chocolatey drink!

 

[Volafortis]

The book.

*seethes* There were no other books set in that universe!!!

Yeah, I only remember there being one book, too. It also probably could've made a decent movie, but I don't remember anyone ever trying to adapt it. Probably for the best, since sci-fi stuff like that usually gets butchered.

No, there were actually (I want to say 3) sequels. They were all terrible, and are often shunned by anyone who enjoyed the first. Which is why I linked to that XKCD.

Apparently my agreement with you was too subtle. I also only liked the first book, totally failed to get into/enjoy anything past that, and thought the movie was junk. Heh.

Ah, okay. Wasn't certain if you were just agreeing with me, or being serious. Can never be certain on the internet.
