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

[Strat]

The best solution would have been a limited series with a Game of Thrones-level budget.

The movie works as is but there was so much left out (politics, the dinner, more clarity on Yueh's motivation, getting to know the citizenry, etc.). The dinner would've covered multiple bases but it likely would've felt off, tonally, with the rest of the movie as currently structured.

GIVE ME THE SNYDER-NEUVE CUT, DENIS!

With Kyle Maclachlan

Should've made him Fenring.

As someone who never read the book....the movie did not need this stuff. It was still quite crystal clear and enjoyable

[Strat]

But I understand being a big fan you want it all.

[Ensign9]

Oh, I agree with the exception of the deleted Yueh scene; I enjoyed it as-is. But I do think non-book-readers would've enjoyed the entirety of the narrative pieces in series form.

If I hadn’t watched the David lynch version and felt lost enough to look up some of the lore, I wouldn’t have appreciated the exposition. However, they weren’t super clear about the messiah prophecy beyond the doctor talking to herself about Paul.

$40M at the box office exceeded expectations and the Warner CEO all but confirmed a sequel is coming. I'm guessing the HBO Max numbers will come out strong and further bolster that direction.

commence the recast Timothee petitions

I say he was good. I've watched the movie three times now and it's been incrementally better each time. It sorely needs 30-40 more minutes (which apparently exists based on what I've seen of the deleted scenes and the fact Villeneuve had a 5-hour cut at one point).

I thought Chalamet was great

Me too buddy.

He played the reluctant skeptical hero very well. Then it all popped during the fight scene. Oh baby

Part Two has been announced/greenlit.

I feel like this is going to have to be 3 movies.

Great see everyone in 3 years. Good planning. James Cameron approves.

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 do not understand your sense of humor

But Dime said it wasn’t looking good?

[VinylGuy]

He also says a new sequel trilogy of SW is coming because Rey had lunch with Kathleen Kennedy.
