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

[bada]

Zendaya is excellent at squinting and acting bored so she’s perfect for a movie about living in the desert with no TV.

How do you know the Fremen don't have TVs? They could be hiding a lot out in the desert...

How do you now the Fremen don't have TVs? They could be hiding a lot out in the desert...

It’s explicitly stated in the text. NO TV. It’s one of the Fremen’s chief grudges hence universal genocide.

I want the movie where Paul turns into the giant sand worm emperor that rules the galaxy.
Thanks.

It’s in the books!!

Hey, idiot, it's Paul's son who turns into a sandworm, not Paul.

Same difference!


Ps nobody mentioned there’s bagpipes in this

I heard that Hans Zimmer actually invented instruments to make some of the sounds he wanted on the score. But, obviously, when he wanted to signify existential dread and the doom that awaits all mankind at the end of our sad, miserable lives, bagpipes were right there.

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.

Brilliant

I don’t know the history of the book or the writing of it but the orange catholic bible of it all will send a lot of people in Northern Ireland and Scotland insane. Conflating the two longest running community enemies like that. (Oranagmen are devout extremist Protestants that want all catholics wiped out. They have a big celebration every July 12th in NI and Scotland. )
The bagpipes being in there speaks to that on some level I think

Does anyone recall if Dime had the same reaction when LOTR was released?

Arrival is a Dune prequel.


Think about it.

Triggered, no doubt, by the final season of Game of Thrones.

One of my questions has been answered:

Spoiler: show

why is the Emperor so interested in creating chaos? Why did he set up House Atreides to fail?

I asked a buddy about this, he's read the books. He explained that:

Spoiler: show

Duke Atreides is very popular and very powerful, so the Emperor wants him gone. And unlike House Atreides, the Harkonnens would never be accepted by the other houses as rulers; but that they do make useful killers.

Simple enough I guess.

It also weakens the Harkonnens. It’s more explicit in the book: the move to reclaim Arrakis (along with an Atreides raid on their spice reserves) just about bankrupts them.

I could've used just a little more explanation about what the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood is all about. What are the implications of Jessica's pregnancy, and what are their overall goals?

They’ve spent thousands of years executing a breeding program to produce Space Jebus to save the human race from its inevitable self-destruction. They are finally one generation away from producing him and Jessica derails it by giving Leto a son and heir instead of the daughter she was instructed to produce. Said daughter would’ve bred with a Harkonnen to produce Jebus.

Jessica is pregnant with a daughter at the moment but…stay tuned.

Thank you.

You’re the dimejinky of the dune universe for these ignorant ingrates.

Don’t take anything they say personally.
