My somewhat face-blind wife was talking about how the guy from the Good Place was surprisingly good in Dune, which led to finding she thought these guys are the same person. pic.twitter.com/H0TnE9SaoZ— John Herreid (@HerreidJohn) October 31, 2021

I saw this again tonight on a standard screen after going to IMAX last week. Wasn't too bothered by the smaller screen, but it was much darker, and the colors were much more washed out, it was almost like a dim black and white film.

meanwhile:
Dave Bautista says his role in #Dune was a blessing. "I’m not just a guy in Guardians walking around shirtless and saying stupid s***. [The role] just gives me the opportunity to just play these like really, really deep characters. So that’s a blessing,” he said.

lol next he's in an adaptation of The Neanderthal Parallax after that typecast breaking role in Dune
― calzino, Sunday, 7 November 2021 11:59 (two years ago) link
yeah wondered if he was in any danger of getting typecast when I saw that. Glad he feels he's having extra dimensions added/being stretched by the wardrobe difference.

i'm with bautista here, honestly. i think going from "grunting good guy that we love" to "convincingly unpleasant bad guy that we dislike" does display some kind of range as an actor and screen presence, which would help you in being taken seriously for a greater ranger of parts in the future.

Wasn't he barely in this movie? I don't remember him doing or saying much at all. As opposed to his role in "Blade Runner," which was fleeting but made an impression.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 7 November 2021 15:59 (two years ago) link
He was very good in a five min role in blade runner
Personally id have him nailed on to play both mitchell brothers in a big screen eastenders, why not

so people are taking umbrage at him talking down marvel movies, so good on him.
― calzino, Sunday, 7 November 2021 16:19 (two years ago) link
Bautista was very good in the Blade Runner sequel; he was good in Army of the Dead; he was good in Stuber; he was good in Bushwick. I think he's a much more thoughtful and talented actor than people assume, and the more different kinds of things he wants to try, the better.

i) he can do anything and easily overcomes all narrative obstacles ii) he never stops mumbling that "the jihad must not happen" iii) i have read DUNE MESSIAH and i know that, whatever else does not happen, the jihad *does* happen (he blames his mum) iv) it is p funny when stilgar and his mum lose patience with his self-regard and massively neg him when he's expecting praise lol

I like how so many of the current field of crossover muscle dudes have pretty good comic timing. Bautista, Momoa, Cena, even the Rock. Arnold could be funny, too, but it was also kind of campy and winky and always more or less Arnold as Arnold. These other dudes seem like they take direction better.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 8 November 2021 14:49 (two years ago) link
yeah true. i remember when the rock was on snl in the early 2000s being surprised at how good he was at comedy, not something we were generally trained to expect with the previous generation of gigantic musclemen. i think a big part of it is how many of these guys came out of pro wrestling, where you have to be good at comic timing and getting across to a live audience. as opposed to say arnold, who came out of bodybuilding which literally only asks you to stand still and pose silently.

He ruined it for himself by getting into politics (and going insane, not necessarily in that order), but Jesse "The Body" Ventura was really a pioneer in this regard and deserves a lot more praise for his work than he gets these days.
