Poll: When you hear "Dune", you think of...

[deckai]

When you hear "Dune", what's the first think that comes into your mind?

For me, it's one of the movies, to be more exact, the 1984 version by David Lynch.

 

[Shockolate]

A hill made of sand.

Because that's what a dune is.

 

[Jackalb]

A sandy hill.
While I have one of the games I did do Geography so it stuck more from that.

 

[IamQ]

I always think of Dune the video game.

 

[Omikron009]

Either a sandy hill or the books.

 

[fenrizz]

I think of Dune 2000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_2000], the first RTS I ever played.

Good times, good times.

 

[Eleuthera]

The books, shortly followed by:

 

[Vampire cat]

Uhm. This OO

 

[JonnoStrife]

The 3 HOUR movie with Professor Charles Xavier.

 

[Jonluw]

A sandy hill. I also remember there are some books or something called Dune, and that I should probably know what it is, but then I can't be bothered and just think of a sandy hill instead.

Edit:

Uhm. This OO

I considered going there... Did the word remind you of "dun" or "dyne"? And is that there a real "ederdunsdyne"?

 

[Shaegor]

Well, I mostly think of the board game set in Frank Herbert's Dune universe.
Some of my friends recreated it (since it's not in production anymore) and we've been playing it.

 

[L4hlborg]

The Iron Maiden song To Tame a Land, which is based on the book.

 

[Velvo]

Sting trying his best to not scream about stalking whores.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I think of the videogame 'Dune 2' because that was my first introduction to the world of Dune, although I have since seen the film and read the book. On a side note, Dune 2 was also my first RTS - loved them ever since.

 

[_Janny_]

The books by Herbert. Haven't read them in ages though. *puts them on the to-read list this summer*

 

[Snork Maiden]

Books, and also the annoying reminder that I have to finish the damn series.

 

[Folio]

When I hear 'Dune' I want to react with: "The spice must flow!"

 

[gonzo20]

the giant sand worms, the spice and the atreides, harkonen and that other faction fighting over it

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

A sandy hill. I also remember there are some books or something called Dune, and that I should probably know what it is, but then I can't be bothered and just think of a sandy hill instead.

This is my experience.

Growing up near a beach, what else was I suppose to think of first?

And I still don't understand why they considered dunes so interesting that they named a book and a movie after them...
