Calling all Fremen: The Best of Last Night's Dune Commentary Twack

The io9 gang watch Lynch's Dune and tweet. Hilarity ensues.

We launched our io9 Movie Mondays with a live-tweeting of David Lynch's Dune. If you weren't able to take part in the joy, fun, or seasons in the sun, here are the highlights of last night.

You know how they always say, "show don't tell." (That's what she said!) This movie, for the first 10 mins, is all tell.

"Moods are a thing for cattle or loveplay, not fighting" will neither get you laid or out of a fight.

I'm pretty sure the reverend mother is describing herpes. "First, you will feel an itching...and that itching will become a burning..."

Last time I drank to this movie, we drank whenever they differed from the book, and when we saw sand. Bad call all around

"When we have enough water, we will change the face of Arrakis. So get to pissing, boy."

So here's the part where Paul decides to stay in his Avatar body for good, right?

1. Bwuhahaha! I roll in my gelatinous worm fat in laughter!

the spice blows out my nose with guffaws of the entertained.

The water of life leaks from my pee-pee as I snort and chortle with glee.

5. I wish I had! I've never even heard of the thing, though.

Must have been hilarious to watch it happening live.

3. So I was watching Sesame Street this morning before work

And some characters built a dinosaur out of macaroni, and one of them wanted to bring the macaronisaurus to life, so he went to the kitchen cabinet and got out...the Spice of Life.

I swear the first thing I thought was "I wonder if Dr. Strange has seen this?"
