With this group, until Blackwater blurted it out, I would have guessed about 75%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yah... we should encourage just an "I Got It!" kinda response. But I think you might be a mite high with that estimate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go below 2/3. We have a fairly eclectic and well read group here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but how many actually saw that movie AND have the capacity to remember anything about it. I'm guessing less than 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Didn’t mean to throw a spoiler there! Figured it was a challenge. I’ll edit it and see who else is hep! I saw the first movie. Just twisted enough for someone like me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I did have to reread it before the synapses started firing “D U N E” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I thought the first (1984) was the better of the two... However! There were multiple attempts to create the movie before then, dating back as far as 1971.... Casting actually started in '73, and included Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine, Gloria Swanson... and Pink Floyd for the soundtrack. Unfortunate that it never took flight. Dangit, Marshall... ya let the cat out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have likely seen the whole movie, but in disjointed bits and pieces. I think I made it about 45 minutes the first time I tried to watch it. Maybe I wasn't drunk enough. Over the years I've attempted to watch it on television from time to time, so I've caught more bits of it. I will say that it is better than "Starship Troopers."

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I got it-- I read the story first in Analog SF magazine in the early '60s, where it was serialized before the book came out. My dad was a subscriber to Astounding/Analog and Galaxy mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
