Topic: Wensicia Corrino


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
 Landsraad Permanent Mission of House Corrino
The events of last month serve as a stark reminder to all quarters of the Landsraad that breaches of the Great Convention are considered most grave and heinous crimes and that retaliation is not beyond the means of the Imperium.
House Corrino takes its name from the Battle of Corrin during which forces loyal to the Imperium fought those traitors and renegades who sought to spread dissent across the universe.
The present Padishah Emperor - His Imperial Majesty Shaddam IV - is the 81st in the Corrino line to be seated on the Golden Lion Throne and began his reign in 10,156.

House Corrino was formed at the Battle of Corrino in 88 BG, when Count Sheuset Ecevit (afterward Emperor Sheuset Corrino I) and his infamous Sardaukar defeated the Landsraad army in a space battle near the Corrin Quasi-Nebula.
On occasion, members of the Corrino family have taken an interest in the teachings of the Orange Catholic Bible, some to the point of having a faith in the God of these teachings.
Having fell to near bottom of the faufreluches, House Corrino struggles to maintain contact with the political representatives of the Minor and Major Houses of the Imperium.

Wensicia raises an eyebrow as if wondering at the Duke's apparent lack of knowledge, "If the Empress is charged in the inquiry regarding Mintor Atreides, her title must be forfeit, as I interpret the laws, and she shall, perhaps, be lucky to escape with her life intact.
Wensicia inclines her head at the entering Duchess, but does not rise, as her rank is sufficient it is not required, "Cousin, how good of you to join us!" She sounds quite happy at the intrusion of another Corrino Duchess, though in her own subdued, controlled manner.

 Children Of Dune
If anything, props have to be given for the good people that try to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah and Children Of Dune, books two and three respectively in the author's Dune series, for the Sci-fi Channel.
She performed an important deed in Dune, but Frank Herbert believes that women that act outside the guidance of their men are evil and should be punished (see also the villainess Wensicia Corrino - and don't get me started on Susan Sarandon's overly campy "acting"), so Alia is humiliated to shreds in Children Of Dune.
While obedient and subservient women like Irulan and Chani are applauded, and even Ghanima acts only because she feels the need to avenge the good old holy patriarchy of the system.

 : RevolutionSF - Frank Herbert's Children of Dune : Review
Susan Sarandon (the aforementioned has-been) doesn't just chew the scenery as conspiracy-head Wensicia Corrino, she devours the scenery with a gustatory delight that puts the giant sandworms of Arrakis to shame.
Other new additions to the cast include the much-ballyhooed Susan Sarandon as Princess Wensicia, who is pretty much wasted in a role that has her sitting around hatching plots in every episode.
James McAvoy and Jessica Brooks bring good energy and charisma to their roles as the twins Leto Atreides II and Ghanima Atreides, but good lord, what was with all that cuddling and smooching?
