At Fine Arts Uni I made a LOT of Dune themed sound-art, sculptures, and installations. One sound-art sculptural installation was titled, 'Hommage to David Lynch's Props Table'. One element of this, was cinnamon sticks I hand-ground for 35 hours to replicate a pile of the spice Melange. (nobody cared lol).

All Dune novels and novellas in chronological order:
(with a worm emoji 🐛 next to my faves).

1. "Hunting Harkonnens" (included in Tales of Dune) 2002
2. The Butlerian Jihad…

"Paddy" Chayefsky, born 1923 only ever wrote one novel. Altered States, 1978. BUT he was a 3 time Academy Award winner. He is the only person to have won three solo Academy Awards for writing both adapted and original screenplays.
It's the novel that sits on my bedside table.

I found the film, and the imagery, quite influential to my pseudo-religious research for making large-scale fine arts installations at uni.

While this lesser adaptation lacks the "WHAT EXCELLENT BOILED POTATOES" meme, it does however have the "My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever", meme. Where Colin Firth dives into his pond.
Fun Fact: I used to…

One of my favourite movies. I have seen it a couple of dozen times.

HIV/AIDS is just a baby Gen-X; a Generation Catalano really. It's so young.

Not me, but sometimes I feel that our younger Queer community forgets, or does not significantly acknowledge, that we lost generations of our elders.

From my viral/ HIV list. One of my top two most important lists, imo, that does not get nearly enough love. Go give it a heart. <3

Is this…
