New Disorderly Member - I earned my stripes

[Chris Coad]

My favourite was probably The Better Angels of Our Dune, which was a fond throwback to Herbert's original characters, as narrated by the space ghosts of Abraham Lincoln's cabinet. Interesting mlange of history, speculative fiction and physical comedy, a real genre-bender.

Is it British to say, "One thing I've notices..."?

Forgive the question, my British is limited to two years in High School.

Was that the one they filmed with Frederick March playing William Jennings Bryan and Sting playing Clarence "Muad'Dib" Darrow?

No, I believe that was Inherit the Dune. Sting won a Golden Globe, if I recall correctly.

You didn't even quote it right.

I think you would be in better form if you had your full 37 hours of sleep today.

I think it was the People's Choice Award.

I'm glad you're enjoying my cancer treatment fatigue. So am I!

Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. I often get the two confused.

Poor Todd. He just wanted to chat about wine, he had no idea.

Todd:

What's the most expensive wine you've ever opened that was corked?

And how did you handle the situation?

No, no, that's Lorna.

 

[Joe Dressner]

No, but in Britain they spell in "Doune."

 

[Steve Edmunds]

I liked Dune Know Much About History! Although it was kind of repetitious...

That sounds more Scottish than British.

It was Eats, Shoots, and Dune, and it was the Nobel Peace Prize for Science. Hotly contested, that year, with the Nikon D70 User Manual in hot pursuit
