lol I disliked Dune but Tenet as a counter was def a surprise. I have not seen Dora
― rob, Friday, 13 January 2023 21:24 (one year ago) link
xpwell of course that doesn't matter! But Nolan is a complete hack cunt and all his movies are absolute nauseating shite and I cannot brook any other opinion.
― calzino, Friday, 13 January 2023 21:25 (one year ago) link
Dora is a fun tween/young teen oriented action-adventure with positive messages about friendship, fitting in, and anticolonialism!

Dune is an unpleasant older teen/adult oriented action-adventure with confusing and kinda racist messages about ecology, fitting in, and anticolonialism

not a captain save-a-Nolan myself, the Batman movies are bad and Inception was the definition of "mid" but Tenet had me hooting/hollering, figuratively.

I used to think Villeneuve was as bad as Nolan in many ways, but recently re-watched Sicario and Enemy and the Blade Runner sequel, he's very good at what he does. Which is definitely not a compliment I'd offer to Nolan.

A rewatch with subtitles will help, but my general reaction throughout Tenet was "I don't know why you have a gun to her head but I trust you have your reasons"

all true and yet whenever i see an adaptation of it i'm like "this is rad. worm big"

ya whatever messages may be encoded in the story are swathed in the dreamiest of vibes by villenueve, to the point of cozy suffocation, and i am hungry for those vibes
but if a silby isn't feeling it that's cool too

god this stupid series gets so stupid Frank Herbert was high as a kite
Seeing how Timothee Chalamet was cast to play Paul Atreides one must expect the dreamiest of vibes to waft from the screen like zephyrs on a summer's day. It's built-in.

I saw the Lynch version at the cinema when I was 12. A formative moment that I will never get to talk about on desert island discs!
― calzino, Saturday, 14 January 2023 00:11 (one year ago) link
That's why we are here. I also saw it in the theater when I was 9 and it was equally formative. I love that film and love all things David Lynch, and yet I think this new one might be a better film (though less endearingly bizarre). Beyond the dreamy vibes I also quite enjoyed all the very large spaceships, vehicles, and weapons constantly clunking on everything.

Dune was the one Lynch film I wish he hadn't made

I'm sorry, but "this is stupid because its exactly like the thing it is based off of" is the dumbest complaint I ever heard.

one of the reasons Hollywood is shit in 2023 is this obsessive desire to keep remaking things until they're as smooth a facsimile to their source material as possible

Thing is, it’s not a very visual book, but Villeneuve makes it a visual experience (and a different one to the other intense visual interpretations it’s evoked). So I don’t agree it’s a slavishly literal adaptation.
― assert (matttkkkk), Saturday, 14 January 2023 12:30 (one year ago) link
Yeah, the books are very short on visual detail. I remember reading a reference to the color of someone's clothing in one of the books (can't remember which) and being surprised, not only by the colors described (something weird), but by the fact that they were described at all.

Villenueve maybe went a little off the reservation with the Sardaukar ceremony.

I found it a bit sterile looking but still enjoyed it quite a bit. Really should have just actually went to Arrakis and used real sandworms. Same with The Northman and hell.

PS apologies if I was rude Silby. I get your argument now, but I did enjoy the movie. I'm not a hardcore bookfan though so nothing to ruin for me.

Naw you’re good. I’m not even a colossal fan of the book either I haven’t read it since I was a teenager. Among other ways this could’ve been better is if they had made it one four hour movie
