Chalamet in that picture about as far into the book as many make it.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link

Chalamet's hair as far out of the cap as I would allow.

Amazing picture, lol

not a Scottish guy from 10 millennia ago

In all fairness, the only thing we can be truly sure of is death, taxes, and some Scottish guy playing the bagpipes

Planned release date is October 2023. Seems quick but hey.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:25 (two years ago) link

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:25 (two years ago) link

Extended Dune.

Dune Cut: The Dune, The Whole Dune, and Nothing But the Dune (Part One).

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:28 (two years ago) link

feel like they should be able to make a dune in one year dont see the problem

lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:28 (two years ago) link

Dune in tomorrow and find out!

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:30 (two years ago) link

Tagline: "It Continues."

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:30 (two years ago) link

All the sand was a total David Lean ripoff

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:31 (two years ago) link

I heard they actually used some of the same sand used in "Lawrence," in homage.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:32 (two years ago) link

Part 3: "Dune Done"

jmm, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:34 (two years ago) link

Yeah if they ever actually get around to a third movie I can't wait for some of the attempted explanations beforehand.

"Wasn't Jason Momoa killed?"

"...yes...but he'll have a love interest!"

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:36 (two years ago) link

Anyone else notice the distinct lack of buggies in this movie? Was that an oversight, or did Villeneuve intentionally cut them out?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:36 (two years ago) link

I thought it could have benefited from an english patient or two

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link

There's no way people on Arrakis would waste that much water. Human-sized litter boxes.

but also fuck you (unperson), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 19:05 (two years ago) link

yeah but a bidet would be nice after a long day of sliding down sand dunes

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 19:12 (two years ago) link

you wear your litter box and then drink from it when you get thirsty

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 19:21 (two years ago) link

Gonna see Dune not because you all are obsessed with it but on the reco of my friend who spent money he didn't have on a huge dune mural in the garbage area behind his pizzeria inaccessible to customers because he "needed it to center himself alone before big pizza rushes"

I see no deets about Chalamet's hair.

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 19:55 (two years ago) link

roughly 22% of the final edit consists of Chalament glowering smoldering and byronesquely into the camera.. who knows how much ended up on the cutting room floor, we'll have to wait for the box set

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 20:23 (two years ago) link

They're going to release a director's cut that's 30% longer just by making it 30% slower.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:26 (two years ago) link

Dune slowed down 800 times

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:29 (two years ago) link

dune now with more dune

lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:37 (two years ago) link

i honestly didn't think that the movie was slow paced at all. it was pretty propulsive, with set piece after set piece, from the gom jabbar scene up to idaho's last stand. it did slow down a bit when he integrated with the fremen, but i recall the novel slowing down at the point as well.

grove street (party) direction (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:40 (two years ago) link

Hmm, I don't think it was particularly boring, because there was so much novel stuff to keep my interest, but I recall more than a few scenes literally in slow motion.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:01 (two years ago) link

they used slow motion in a movie?

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:09 (two years ago) link

yes but the rest of the movie was at the speed of old timey b&w movies to make up for it

the utility infielder of theatre (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:11 (two years ago) link

I feel like the book makes clear that Jessica bears a son because she loved Leto and he wanted a male heir, but the movie makes it sound like her pride is based on her thinking she could/should bear the messiah.

Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:11 (two years ago) link

it feels like there was quite a bit cut from the final scene between leto and jessica, could've used a little more focus on that instead of the intercutting with sad paul

grove street (party) direction (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:20 (two years ago) link

Zendaya is from Oakland.. 007 director Cary Joji Fukunaga is from Oakland.

We're hot right now

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:38 (two years ago) link

this was great!

goole, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 00:53 (two years ago) link

goole!

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 00:55 (two years ago) link

the NYAA HEEEYYY vocal stab during the gob jabbar scene made me laugh

thinking of Steppenwolf kicking in when paul sees the wormrider made me laugh

goole, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:00 (two years ago) link

there's a lot about the book i don't remember, like how paul handles meeting chani for the first time. and i honestly don't remember a thing about leto's father and the space bull!

no navigators, no feyd rautha. otherwise it was solid dune, i give it dune/dune, looking forward to more dune.

goole, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:05 (two years ago) link

hi!

goole, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:05 (two years ago) link

i think i'm one of the only people to have watched the truly awful syfy Children of Dune miniseries (james mcavoy! susan sarandon!). they pronounce the girl's name "Cheney," it's a wreck

goole, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:11 (two years ago) link

i dont want to offend anyone here because i know the movie touched a lot of people i will just speak to my personal experience which is that arrival was one of the most singularly stupid things ive ever encountered


fml I stand with JIC in a movie thread 😂

ARRIVAL revolves around some legit cool conceits but feels exactly like a short story stretched out to feature length.

poster of sparks (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:32 (two years ago) link

oh wait that was lagoon I am vindicated 😆

poster of sparks (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 01:32 (two years ago) link

the crazy thing is, I believe that may be the correct pronunciation based on recordings of Frank Herbert, but yeah, it's still very wrong

xxp
