Half of Villeneuve’s movies, especially the large release science fiction ones (Arrival, BR 2049, this Dune) remind me of Underworld’s song Pearl’s Girl because at some point you’re going to see lingering shots of the water on stonethe water on concrete the water on sand.lucky he had some caladan material to sneak that in, along with the very moist harkonnens

Split directing duties between Villeneuve and Paul W.S. Anderson. He knows how to shoot deserts, too (cf. Monster Hunter, the third or fourth Resident Evil). He’s good with slow motion too.

watched it again with Dad this past weekend, liked it a bit more but it's still like an excessively packaged double swirl vinyl rerelease of a classic album where it's been remastered and brickwalled all to hell... I predict Half Price Books will contain roughly 500 copies of this on Blu-Ray within a year.

bummed to find that this has already been booted down from all the *really* big screens in NYC for our planned rewatch. guess i'll have to hope for an auteurist Villeneuve series at Metrograph or something.

Yeah I wanted to go see it on IMAX or whatever the next best is, but it was only on "standard screens" as of last week. So we turned out the lights and watched on HBOMax on our TV.

The biggest complaint I have about seeing this in a theater: having to watch - I shit you not - 10 freaking trailers before the movie started

We didn't get any adverts or trailers because of a problem with the projector and I'm still a bit sore (not about the adverts though).

I love trailers, but have a slight punctuality impairment so usually miss them.

I used to like them when I was a young and naively enthusiastic enough cinema goer to think some of this garbage might turn out to be good!
― calzino, Sunday, 14 November 2021 11:59 (two years ago) link
They weren’t all bad, and some of these are things I’ll probably see. It’s just … 10 trailers is a LOT.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Sunday, 14 November 2021 12:25 (two years ago) link
Yeah the enjoyment curve for trailers peaks around 6 for me, and after that it starts getting annoying. 10 would be tough to bear

Finally got around to seeing this this weekend. Loved the look of this movie. Kind of difficult to judge otherwise since despite the length it only feels like half a movie. Watching the movie I couldn't help but feel that somebody who hasn't read the books would be a bit lost, but I think there's enough random info thrown in here and there to make a person understand a lot in a very broad sense. I went with my son who was totally unfamiliar with Dune and he seemed to mostly get it, though he didn't really get what the Bene Gesserit's role in all of this is supposed to be or why they have superpowers.

I was on a panel chat last night talking about the film and we pretty much all agreed that Hans Zimmer’s score was forgettable(in that none of us remembered anything about it) but the sound design was top-notch

I have not seen it. I read the first book for the first time at age 11 and have loved it ever since. My brother, who is as much of a devotee as I am, loved it, but . . . I just don't know.

I'm not sure how widespread this is, but at least in NYC, they've put this back into multiplexes, including IMAX screens, for at least a few times this week. Must be part of their Oscar campaign? I've gotten a lot of For Your Consideration ads for it lately.
