Alas, there’s only so much you can do with a giant worm.
indeed I might as well yell: “OMG the garden-hose totally looks like the hose in my shower.”
You keep hoses in your shower?!
I think he wuz talking about his garden-hoes.
Well, Tim Burton made them at least black and white striped for Beetlejuice.
=)
Maybe they have the same agent
Th3rd !
But the dune worms fart oxygen.
Yeah, and their semen turns your eyes blue.
I didn’t think it was semen. I thought it was poop.
Yea, it was poop. I just finished reading it and it definitely is poop.
Though…reading a sci fi series about magically powerful semen might be interesting too…
And they both look like …. oh wait , that one has two lips only !
Courtney Love? Or am I insulting worms now?
What’s better then roses on your piano?
Tulips on your organ!
Worms look alike, but there the similarity ends. One can actually follow the plot in “Tremors” because you’re still awake to do so.
Well, the plot in the first Dune novel isn’t THAT hard to follow, and I found it quite entertaining. But the second one XD I couldn’t get 5 chapters into the dang thing.
But of course if you’re an action/thriller movie goer instead of a book reader, then you’d fall asleep for almost any book over 400 pages
The worms of Dune were described in the book back in the 60’s when Frank Herbert wrote it. Take that, Tremors writing hacks!!!
Oh, yes, I have seen both movies and all I can say is, “Tremors plot? What plot?” It kept one awake by its soundtrack, not its riveting plot. The Dune movie wasn’t a great movie, but if you read the book, it is so huge and so rich, I don’t really think it can be rendered as a movie and still do any justice to its source material. As for plot, it dealt with government secretly plotting to keep its citizens from getting to powerful and too popular and overthrowing a corrupt government (Duke Atreides), the ecology of a planet and how we can destroy or remake it (Arrakis), and the oppression and condoned genocide attempt of a whole people (the Fremen). Huge concepts to stuff into a two-hour movie.
But it had no unicorns or fae. You know that’s all us girlies can understand…
What Jay said!
Both Dune movies weren’t that exceptional, even though I love David Lynch movies. But I can wholeheartedly recommend the whole Dune book series by Frank Herbert, five tomes I think. Some of the best books I’ve ever read. A whole universe full of complex interconnections and intricate power games will open up for you, enriched by pearls of psychological and philosophical insight. If you go ‘yawn, what is this about?’ while reading, put them down and try again a few years laters. Seriously.
Sorry, but I have enough reality w/o being amongst it when I read. I read to escape the complexity of life in general. This applies to the films I choose to see, as well. Deepness is only a setting in a well.
There are six, actually:
Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse Dune
And they are some of the best books I have ever read as well.
Six by Frank Herbert but not to mention the loads of others written by Herbert’s son and another colleague whose name I forget
Kevin Anderson. And they sucked.
I’ve been reading adult fiction for over 5 years now (I’m only 18 so that’s longer than it sounds), and while the first dune novel truely was brilliant, the second one was complex to the point where it just became more work to understand it than it was worth in my opinion. Also, I prefer fantasy to science fiction so I suppose I can only take so much technical-sci-fi talk before I get overloaded. I’ll stick to Robert Jordan for the time being
just a deep but doesn’t make my head hurt XD
I’m fairly certain that was intentional. After all, the worms in Tremors live in the desert, are extremely sensitive to sound, and yet easily confused–just like the worms in Dune. If you look, you can see references to dune hidden all over the place in pop culture, even kids’ cartoons (like Spongebob and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy)
Proof plz? Now I’m interested.
All worms look alike? RACIST!
guffaw!
Worms portrayed in two separate movies as grey, featureless tubes? WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?
Tremors FTW! Amusing, written as a B-movie (all 4 of them, and one more in production, OMG) and great for days I can’t deal with the world. Reba McEntyre rocks and Michael Gross does a great job.
Yes – both versions of Dune (theater and cable) were good in their own ways, but Tremors is FUN.
And both look like Lavos’ head from the video game Chrono Trigger
Oho! I can top that game reference! They also look like the Sand Worm enemies from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
That would be ‘Graboid’, thank you very much.
Thank you very much!!! someone who actually saw tremors and remembered that damn name!
No one has said it yet? THE SPICE MUST FLOW. Dude people are actually making a contest out of Tremors vs. Dune? Frank Herbert was a genius, you can’t freaking touch him. Tremors is to Dune as Get Smart is to Goldfinger.
No dude, get smart was funny.
Did Tremors even have Kevin Bacon in it?
It most definitely did, in all his mid-80s yumminess. ^_^
You got that really wrong. The original Get Smart was awesome. Tremors is to Dune as Harry Potter is to The Lord Of The Rings. Good in its own way but not anywhere near the same class. Frank Herbert and JRR Tolkien were BOTH geniuses. (Note: I am not dissing JK Rowling, she just isn’t a genius.)
^^^Yes. Why is this even a debate? Also, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — Dune is a BOOK. If you’re going to pass any judgment on it, you’d better read the book first.
It is a debate…
’cause its fun!!!
Dune is also a movie, and you know what really blows my mind? Paul Atreides from the movie is Orson Hodge from Desperate Housewives. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
I’d have to disagree with your “Harry Potter is to The Lord of the Rings”, or rather, not the comparison itself but the reasons behind your comparison. If you mean both Tremors and HP are quicker and more eventfull but Dune and LoTR are slower and deeper, then I’d agree with you wholeheartedly. But you saying that LoTR is BETTER than HP? No no no, they’re DIFFERENT not better. Take it from a guy who’s read so many fantasy series he can’t even remember what they’re all called anymore. They’re aimed at different audiences and completely different styles of fantasy. The overall quality however, is roughly the same.
Because the continuity errors in Harry Potter don’t lower the level of quality? What about characters that don’t really act in character? Or the completely lame ending? I’m not terribly impressed with The Lord of the Rings (The Hobbit was his real masterpiece.) either, but Tolkien at least knew how to write a series of books that makes sense.
Wow they do look alike.. if you put a cloud of sand infront of them.. and shoot from an angle that hids the graboids tentacles.. and you squint real hard.. and you drink alot…
Hmm actually they don’t look alike.. Sorry
My kids, when I tell them that an old movie was really good, ask me if that was with or without a six-pack of beer. This was because I told them Death Race 2000 was an awesome movie, so we rented it and watched it together (yes, my kids are old enough). It was so, so bad. I said it must have been the six-pack of beer that made me remember it as really good, so now the kids want to know how much beer we had drunk when we had watched a movie.
I, uhm, have had a few of these re-watchings, too.
Same thing happened with me when I watched The Never Ending Story. I saw it so long ago, I thought it was amazing…but instead of being drunk, I was just too young. So when I talked it up to some friends, I looked like an idiot.
Fail.
I went to high school with a guy who went into sfx in the movies. A couple of years after graduation, I saw him at a party and asked, “What movies have you done?” He said that he had finished on a movie called Tremors. (This conversation took place before the movie came out.) “What’s it about?”
“Giant worms that live underground and eat people.”
“Okaaaaaaaay….. what else you working on?”
“A movie called Dances with Wolves.”
Blank stares ensued as we realized the quality of movies our friend had been stuck on. Needless to say, once both films came out, we were impressed.
Wow, that’s a great story!
Tell your friend, Good Work!
I don’t see much of a resemblence (sorry for my grammar)
… Which also totally look like the sand worms from Betelgeuse.
I don’t remember any worms in Beetlejuice…
During the scene in which the main ghost couple attempts to leave their home after death, they are transported to Mars, and encounter Sand Worms, which send them rushing back into their home. Also, later, Beetlejuice encounters the worms, unhappily for him, during the wedding scenes.
However, they were black and gray striped. See the cartoon version of Beetlejuice for more about Mars and the sand worms.
And Betelgeuse may be what his name actually was, (after the star) but the movie is actually called ‘Beetlejuice’.
I have to correct you, INventive. It wasn’t Mars….It was Saturn.
And yes, I’m pathetic enough to remember that minute detail.
nope the worms from Dune are ribbed the graboids from Tremors are not
i mean seriously it is getting just a bit desperate on here when we compare a worm like entity to another worm like entity with no ironic intent
So, you are saying the Dune worms are giant ribbed Trojans?
exactly! even the tip part adds to the phallic image
*Pops in*
Tremors rocks!!
*Pops out*
He who controls the spice controls the universe!
comparing Tremors to Dune is like comparing Wall-E to 2001 A Space Odessey. Nuff said. Fail.
I think the Fail was really in comparing worms to worms.
GOLLY GEE, THEY LOOK ALIKE.
No, really?
I just thought they were related!
Why is Dune in quotation marks? Not that I’m a fan of anything, I just recognize it as a classic. “Tremors” is understandable, but classics don’t need quotation marks.
Actually they are the same. Baised on a folklore in the Gobi desert. A great sand worm that is blind, only to find it’s pray by sound after being awakened from a thousand year sleep. Only human feet can awaken the worm, which is why people cross on camels.
Came here for Mongolian Death Worm reference, leaving satisfied.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Fetch the Gom-Jabbar!
We’ll see if Johnny here lives up to his words.
Damn, now I have to re-read Dune for the 15th time! Nice going WhoNose!
HA I remember that quote and I’ve only read it once and that was well over a year ago! *does the I-remember-random-things dance*
Does Trojan make XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL condoms?
SPICE MUST FLOW
Yeah and they booth TOTALLY LOOK LIKE a penis.
SHAI-HULUD!!!
Shai Hulud is an awesome band!
77th
…there’s only so much you can do with wormlike creatures.
they’re called graboids, people!
Being 30 its hard to seriously consider the Dune v Tremors debate. Dune is a masterpiece, I dont particularly like the film, but its an epic. Tremors was fun, like a kazoo. But like that kazoo how many times do you use it? Its a novelty, use it once throw it away. Id watch Dune with someone who has never seen it, id watch Tremors (if i watch it ever again) with some buddies behind a few beers. I think its says enough that the worms were part of Dune, worms were 100% of Tremors. Plus I hate movies where at least 50% of the characters have to be idiots so it gets narrowed down to hero boy and hot girl. Seriously Dune v Tremors????
It’s a monster in final fantasy X !!!
do you not understand the concept of a ripoff?
