How do you pronounce bene-gesserit

ben-neh jess-serret (rhymes with ferret) is how I pronounce it in my head. Gotta love the words in those books, you have no idea how to say them!

Just got the Dune 3+ hour Alan Smithee Director cut + the Special effects redo and +6 extra minutes over and beyond the 50 extra Smithe Japanese LD edition. Frank Herbert actually reads the Intro the Irulan does in the Theactrical release. Nice I know He knows how to say them!

Funny Thing is The Fremen are desendants from modern day Iraq 🙂 Zen "Sunni"

Oh gosh I have 120+ hours of audio books alone

Id say "ben knee Jes ew rit" (Like the "knee" sorry I could not resist being different) would be the closest thing sounding it out

Here are some great books by Brian Herbert which some are derived from Frank's notes. Man these are great! LINK

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 and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

The sad part is that I memorized that for some reason 😱

in college, we (English majors) kept that written up on a whiteboard outside the office of the English department chair. he was a scary, scary individual. he never erased it, so I think he took it as a badge of honor or something. heh.
 
If you listened to what presidental candidate Caol Moseley Braun had to say, you would have heard her quote some Dune.

Yes, I'm serious.

The zensunnis were a mix of modern day religions. They were buddhislamics, much like the zenshiites. But the Zenshiites weren't pacifists like the Zensunni.

Even the Sci-Fi channel Dune was weak. Children of Dune was a fuckin travesty.
