The Children of Dune

The Children of dune

I am feeling rather down – there is something wrong with my eyes. At first I thought that I am just tired as I have been working long hours overtime on the computer but yesterday I had to admit that the eyes should have gotten better already. They are red, teary, swollen and feel like they are full of sand. I had a prayer at the church yesterday and they are much better today but still feel like I better have some rest. But how one has an eye-rest? Anything even remotely interesting involves eyes! (and this is the source of Alexandral's feelings of deprivation!)

But I swear I'll have some eye rest just after I post "The Children of Dune" screencaps. :D I started watching these mini-series from [livejournal.com profile] baleanoptera's rec and though they are flawed "The Children of Dune" are intensely, insanely beautiful. I used to be a huge fan of the books with their mind-boggling complexity and "The children of Dune" is probably the best adaptation so far. I haven't finished watching it yet (see – EYE REST!) but I made some screencaps, I just could not stop. I am not usually not a fan of intense yellow colour but it all changed after I beheld golden Leto Artredis (aka James McAvoy) and his sister..So iconable !

*squint* who is that pretty boy in the last screencap? Why does he look familiar? I can't even look up the actor because I never watched it and don't know the character...

Heh! He's a mainstay of US TV being the "prissy/possibly evil British guy" - he played Sidney Bristow's fiancé Danny on "Alias" (a short role!) and he was Atherton Wing on "Firefly" - Edward Atterton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0041029/) (whoa, it's cool that he trained as an opera singer, apparently!)

lol, I just saw the Duncan Idaho reference by [livejournal.com profile] baleanoptera so I found out he was in Shindig. I did see Alias reference in the forum but I didn't make the connection with Danny... despite having just re-watched the first season recently.

Looks like he's also a black belt. He is pretty pretty. Let him make something else soon.
