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

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.

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.

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.
