#SciFriday Special Report today, because 101 years ago on this very day, Frank Herbert was born. Fresh in the movies, the latest adaptation of his most important novel, DUNE is capturing the audience as we Noise... I could write a ton of interesting thing about his work, like an article about the Oregon Dunes for a magazine (never published) gave the seed for 6 years of research, until it became the first important SciFi novel about climate problems, also about the fact that the novel was rejected about twenty publishers (lesson: keep Noising, no matter what!) and the first adaptation of the movie, directed by David Lynch it wasn't a huge success in the US, but in Europe and Japan.... it need a certain mood for the movie ... I like a lot. Speaking about the movie.... this is how I met @UplandDood here, on Noise. He Noised about this movie (https://noise.cash/post/1m302nq6 ) we commented some and the rest is Noistory ... go check out his Noises! Long story short, I think I'll watch the old Dune movies this weekend... did you see them? Did you see the new one? Did you read the novel? ---- I might come back with Dune facts and stories if you are interested... like Alejandro Jodorowsky's a decade before Lynch tried to make an adaptation... but the 14 hours saga never got a green light .... he was working on the project, but it was too big, the timing was not ready I guess, or politics ... anyways ... BUT ... just imagine what would have been with names involved like Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger, Pink Floyd, Orson Wells, Moebius ... Happy Birthday Frank Herbert, and thank you! >D
