This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is True Lies (1994) and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here. The movie will start about 7 PM PST/10 PM EST but feel free to drop by and hang any time!
Dune may fall short of its source material but it's certainly a fun movie to talk about; we were waxing nostalgic about our Dune experiences well into the night! Without further ado, here are some screenshots to match the Wing Commander references we noted last week.
Here's the quote from the movie which appears in Privateer as a 'joke' comm you can make to New Constantinople. In the movie, it's part of Paul's inner monologue when he is training the Fremen to use the weirding modules. It doesn't appear in the book.
Wing Commander doesn't show us any giant sandworms but it does reference them several times!
And here's Princess Irulan, referenced in Privateer 2, played by Virginia Madsen. Her narration opens the movie.
Dune author Frank Herbert and his star system.
And of course Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Leto Atreides!
Sully wasn't so fond of the pugs.
