Dune, where the mythic meets the epic, and they both meet the gothic, and they all sit down together and chat.

― omar little, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 17:50 (one year ago) link
Looks like the worm ride is the main part of the movie, sandwiched with some boring palace intrigue and pensive desert musings
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 18:02 (one year ago) link
And some explosions, no doubt

not sure why he says "it's a birthday cake" at the start of the trailer.
― ledge, Thursday, 4 May 2023 10:37 (one year ago) link
I think he's implying "eat my dust" 'cuz he's gonna ride that sandworm so hard later in the trailer.

this was a weird quote for someone who wants to Be the Kwizah Haderach
"I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft, and smooth."

Dune II delayed to March 2024, actors' strike related
― StanM, Friday, 25 August 2023 06:44 (one year ago) link
Sucks but not surprising at this point. Also grimly hilarious that both films got delayed by completely separate events. I think Villaneuve said delays with the first helped post production so maybe similar here.

GHOST RIDE THE WORM WOOOOOO

I've been waiting for the second part to come out so I can see both of them together; still haven't seen the first. I have a hard time with Chalamet in general. His vibe throws me off. I saw a Willy Wonka prequel ad which made me want to hurl things at the screen.
Rewatching the Lynch Dune and I'm always surprised by how bonkers it is. For every big weird scene that is burned in my memory, there are a dozen small things that take me by surprise. It's not good but it's fascinating. I wish Lynch could have made a sci-fi movie that wasn't anchored to such a laborious plot.
― Cow_Art, Wednesday, 13 December 2023 03:14 (nine months ago) link
Chalamet is fine, good even
Generally I weary of AAA film adaptations that are all-focus on “doing justice to the novel” rather than “creating a new and exciting work of cinema”, but I’m still gonna go to this and prob marathon the Peter Jackson LOTR films (extended) on Christmas Day too

I have to say this brought it, in terms of cinema art - not just scenes and dialogue and spaceships but lots of interesting choices and auteur moments. Maybe I’m a bit basic in tastes but it thrilled me in ways The Hobbit sure didn’t.
― assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 13 December 2023 04:59 (nine months ago) link
Trust me, fully agreed with you there on the Hobbit films.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 December 2023 05:10 (nine months ago) link
I fell asleep in the first Hobbit film and every time I woke up, it seemed to be only two minutes later
― Formica Jordan (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 13 December 2023 05:15 (nine months ago) link
The first was unfortunately the best of the three.
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 13 December 2023 06:00 (nine months ago) link
The Hobbit seemed fine to me, wysiwyg insofar as “Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug” is concerned, but the bizarre frame rate situation was what ended up consigning both films to the coffin, I skip cutscenes on my RPGs and I’ll skip those films also
Anyway new Dune looks good. Hope something in it makes me smile

I have only ever seen the movies so I recently watched a YT timeline breakdown of all the subsequent books and, ugh. Kinda hoping they don't get far past the first book really.
