Movie: Dune (2021) (It’s alright; you should bother)

[VinylGuy]

Im thinking to see this one on Imax.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I love Villeneuve, but think his aesthetic is all wrong for Dune. But maybe he understands how to get at some of the deeper elements in the story. We'll see.

Care to go into detail? His aesthetic has gone with big scenery a lot, I think this story will do well with that

The anti movie theater people always sound to me like such hyperbolic babies

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I just saw The Green Knight in a theatre and I loved it.

Honestly, I'm not ready to be in a Broadway audience yet but I love going to the movies.

The only anti movie theater people I know are anti movie theater during COVID-19 people. So I get it.

I haven't seen much on the new one, but what little I've seen looks too sterile and clean and not all that oppressive. It should feel weighed down by millenia of ceremony and religious mysticism and bureaucracy, with lots of baroque architecture and faded glory. Arrakis should look like a hellish place to live. I think Lynch nails it in the original. That's just me though.

I know so many people pre covid that were anti theatre. All weird reasons really.

Im agree with the trailer being a big meh for me. Looks really close to any blockbusters these days.

Still, i think it could be great.
