Quotes of Note - Dune (1984)


"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

Here is one of my favorite quotes from the Siskel & Ebert year end review show circa 1984:
“Wow that’s boring-I’ve had more fun with sand at the beach. I think it’s IMPOSSIBLE for anyone who hasn’t read the Dune books to follow what’s going on in the story, which is needlessly complicated. And then there is a whole layer of ugliness throughout the picture: a guy with boils all over his face, the ripping open of people’s chests, a premature birth of a baby and blood-why all that garbage? Dune is an unintelligible gross-out.”
Siskel was such a tool.

No shit. "think it’s IMPOSSIBLE for anyone who hasn’t read the Dune books to follow what’s going on in the story, which is needlessly complicated." Is he a mongoloid? It's not a very complex plot at all.
