Nerd rant response to Timothèe Chalamet criticism:
I think he fucking nailed it, and this is his demeanor in the books. The Bene Gesserit were running a concubine gambit, with the endgame being Jessica having a girl that the Bene Gesserit were to have married into House Harkonnen, unify the houses and then produce a Kwisatz Hadarach.
Problem is, Jessica fell in love with the Duke, which led her to having a boy and plans changed. They began raising him as a mentat, and the confused pawn in their game was a late bloomer.

- wasn't a bad performance I just wasn't feeling it... his scenes with brolin/gurney were spot on... didn't really feel the mamoa/duncan bond like in the booksjonny_quest_lives
- Yeah, I agree on that more time should have been spent on Duncan, but there's another [cough cough] GLARING OMISSION that bugs me. Still was a fun watch for me.garbage
- I'm an absolute sucker for DV's eye/palette. Any release is an instant buy and a fat joint.garbage
- it's strange how familiar the pacing of the Atreides betrayal on Arrakis felt so similar to the Lynch movie which I think was a bit off putting for mejonny_quest_lives
- the best bits were the Villenueve touches and truly distinct performances rendered by Brolin, Bardem and Skarsgård... i want more of that in the next iterationjonny_quest_lives
- anytime the Bene Gesserit were in a scene I felt Villenueve was channeling the books perfectly... the scene on Giedi Prime in particular stood outjonny_quest_lives

- Yeah I wish it spent more time on Giedi Prime. He's keeping the Harkonnens in the shadows and hopefully we get a [cough cough] appearance in the second.garbage
