Table for Deranged Man, here.
Ok, I admit it. I'm deranged. Accepting that allows me to make the following proclamation, even though I know damned well that no one will follow it, including me.
Henceforth, the color known to the masses as "Cobalt Blue" is renamed "Atreides Blue." This has nothing to do with Dune and everything to do with the fact my last name is Atreides and it's my favorite color.
Furthermore, the Official Anthem* of the House Atreides** is "House Atreides" (main title) from the soundtrack to Children of Dune. It's a minute and 36 seconds of bliss, power, and glory. I thought about "Summon the Worms," which is sheer power and beauty, but it's three minutes 49 seconds long, a little too martial in tone, and it loses momentum and becomes all quiet and subdued for the last minute or so, and is a little too much, perhaps.
Besides, it's not like the damned thing will ever be played anywhere but in my house when I'm feeling a need for the music. Though it'd be ideal for a recessional -- or a processional, if the occasion called for one. Heh.
Bottom line? Brian Tyler is one hell of a composer/conductor. This soundtrack is utter bliss.
In case on of you yobbos who just surfs in here and leaves anonymous messages sees this -- I'm joking.
Mostly.
* Can it be an "anthem" if it hasn't any words?
** Hey. I said I was deranged. But sheezus, folks, if I'm going to actually have a family, I might as well have some fun and call it by a self-important title, no? I figure it'll be a family joke for years: "Dad, you're deranged."
