Water to the dead did indeed not make it into the final edit. I love the scene, but this and the extended "He's taken the water of life" scene with Alia were even more difficult to fit in. Jarring as the other deleted scenes are, these were far worse, especially audio-wise. But it pained me to not put that one back in.

I have to say again that you did a great job. There was some editing that I really liked, for example when the Fremen Reverend Mother is talking and it becomes a voice over for the scene is which the fremen see Paul. I was curious as to why you cut out the line where Paul says "Caladan" when they are leaving for Dune. But great editing, and nice trims.
p.s. I was wondering if we could talk about an edit of Dune that I would like to do, and if perhaps I could use your version as a base, with your permission of course. All I want to do is add one scene. But, if I did it the reason to really do it would be to add the blue eyes. Perhaps we can discuss this.
