Denis Villeneuve's Dune

[tx 3 putt 76887]

Re-watched last night, great movie 

[Nice Guy Eddie 13509]

Styles could be an interesting Feyd.  

When I first read it, I didn't see him as being as looking anything like Dave Bautista since they would be brothers. But in looking at some photos, it's plausible.

[Drew 2405]

No just that but Sting killed it, and looked nothing Like Rabban in that movie...same with the SyFy version.

Per @Bama Chick it’s weird having an intense Harry styles discussion and her not being involved

Virtually everyone I know complained that there were so many lines uttered that were inaudible.  I agreed that it was one of the worst jobs of sound mixing I have ever heard. I saw it at the theater with high quality sound and then again at home.  Not better in either case.  The august style of the film overwhelmed the dialogue.  But, it still won Best Sound; so what do I know?

Finally watched it last night. I had to crank up the volume to catch some lines that I figured were pretty important, such as the Atreides' doctor who conspired with the Baron to kill Leto and his family. I finally gave up in the final hour and turned on the subtitles.

I dug the movie though.

UT alum (Mack Ruth) won best sound Oscar for this...

watching movies with subtitles is the only way to watch movies. 

although watching tenet with subtitles made it infinitely worst. it was better when you didn't have a fucking clue what was going on.

Especially when the subtitles are in a random foreign language. And are recorded into the video because you are watching some random pirated copy, so you can't turn them off.

After Dune II, Denis is apparently going to do Rendezvous with Rama

[Sam Lin 3555]

Think it's in some other thread already, but I'm really curious what they do with Rama. In terms of story it's incredibly simple.

It's not like they said "You know what Dune 2 needs????"

 

... or maybe that's *exactly* what they did.

Fell asleep during the show.  Re-watch is not on the bucket list. 

Rewatched since wife got the disc via netflix.  ("You still do that?")

Liked it a lot more.  Keep putting my self in the place of the son, and got very uncomfortable with how close mom got to me throughout the flick. 

I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi, please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
Just a Pepsi

She is otherworldly hot in the Ewen McGregor Shining sequel.

Rebecca Ferguson is pure smoke. She doesn’t check many of my boxes (thin, dark hair, olive skin type). But something about her just makes me stop. She was also incredibly hot in The Greatest Showman.

She reminds me of Jennifer Connelly and Diane Lane. All are just elegantly beautiful but with a hint of mom next door. All are as beautiful without makeup as with makeup.

Top 3. 

1. Jennifer Connelly

2. Diane Lane

3. Rebecca Ferguson

 

I love beautiful brunettes.

Concur completely on all points. Not my typical type but for whatever reason she’s stupid hot.

So the Harry Styles rumor was just that huh? My teen daughter will be crushed.

[Augustus 3061]

I don't know if I could be a bigger fan of Hans Zimmer.  Chevaliers de Sangreal is easily one of my favorite musical compositions of all time.

This video is great.  As much as any other element, his score created the atmosphere for this film, and it would have been an entirely different film with a more traditional symphonic score that he refers to in other sci-fi films.  Short vid and worth the watch.

 

[Buzzrock 14913]

First ballot hall of famer no question 

[kingkoopa6 8347]

GOAT

Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Zimmer

 

[ztejas 43418]

Just got around to this. I thought it was good, not great. Obviously want to see pt. 2. 

A lot of really dark shit happened in a hurry and then the rest of the film was fairly tame. I know that they're handcuffed by the source material to some extent but it seemed like they could have spaced some stuff out a bit better. 

Zendaya doesn't move the needle for me at all. I don't understand that phenomenon.

Thought Chalamet did a fine job but not his best work. 

I've never read the book or anything so I'm just commenting as a viewer. I have seen the "original". 

Another note - I kind of wish they explored the macro-world a bit more. I feel like the motivations, ideologies and histories of the different peoples weren't addressed all that much (outside of the Fremen). Would have happily viewed a 3 hr movie instead of a 2.5 hr one to get some more backstory or flesh things out a bit more.

It’s a very good book.

[tx 3 putt 76887]

not including the dinner party scene from the sci fi tv mini series was a huge mistake, imo

yes, but it really added a lot to the mini series 

[Bateshorn 9927]

The dinner party isn’t essential to the story, but it provides an enormous amount of color and filling into exactly how fucked the Atriedes are.

[Frank The Tank 1497]

I thought the time between them arriving on Arakas and being attacked felt rushed. I think the dinner party could have at least made it feel like they were there a bit longer before it happened. 

[kingkoopa6 8347]

New trailer. Let’s gooooo
