I just can't remembet where I know this name from...

It's from a movie or tv-series... or some anime.... anyone can help me out?

[Mister X]

It's the name of Paul Atreides father in law in Dune by Frank Herbert. Ooops. Did I just let it slip that I'm a science fiction geek? ::-|

I liked Dune a lot... I'm a bit of a David-o-phile..

But I do understand people who hate his work. I have problems with some of his movies. Like the most recent one, Mulholland Drive. Yikes I thought it was bad, and I didn't get it at all.

However, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Dune .... all great ones!

[Mister X]

So far I've liked them all except that one... Lost Highway?... That one sucked big time. I'm not sure if it even had a story. Dune I thought was a pretty great movie. Never really understood why it wasn't a big hit. Blue Velvet just blew me away the first time I saw it.

Glad to see there are other sci-fi geeks here also! :)

I personally think that Dune is one of the best novels ever written (sci-fi or otherwise) and I just couldn't help but go with a nick from there. I just wanted one that wouldn't be as well known as Paul or Leto.

:D I agree, Dune was a fantastic movie and books were very very good too.

yeah, I remember now... Stilgar the Fremen... :o)
I've read all Dune books back in '96 in Australia. I also love Asimov however nothing beats Babylon 5 and Star Wars Ep V!

I think they kind of pulled those weapons out of their asses when they made the movie, hehe. I think the idea was supposed to be that they were some kind of sonic amplifier gizmo or something. You say a "power word" and it amplifies that into a blast. LOL.

The name "muadib" holds massiv power in it!

(Don't recall how to correctly spell it)
