[I didn't even find "Mullholand Drive" confusing.] But it is a complicated multilayered story. The trouble with modern [American mainly] films is everything is wrapped up pat at the end. Everything explained to the nth degree. People expect this now even in their own real lives! I don't mind a little mystery. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

COMMENT Well, I have the original issues of "Analog", [the large-format Sci-Fi Mag which had been the A-5-sized "Astounding"] - in which the very first stories of Dune were published, AFAIK, - and the moisture trapping suits are surely called "still suits" in Herbert's text as published therein.

Re: [h-cost] Dune costumes
No, sorry, it's definitely 'stillsuit' - I just checked in 'Children of Dune', that being the book that was closest to hand.

Agreed. Costumes great. Movies bite. Books rock.
