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

So many comments about this movie saying it's slow, it's shit etc...

Tried to watch it last night but fell asleep, too long... too slow? Maybe just not into this type of shit.
- Dune should be available on Betamax soon
I heard that it is bombing hard.utopian - maybe it's your hamster attention spanMilan
- "Bombing hard?" We'll see I guess. Wide release isn't until the 22nd.evilpeacock

- I love Moebius' work, but the style and costumes are way off from the world established in the book. Probably done under Jodorowski's misguided direction...zarkonite
- They're pretty outlandish for sure. Do you think the new movie is closer to the book visually?PhanLo
- Hard to say, the casting is bang on in my mind. The headboard on Paul's bed in the trailer is exactly as described in the book... but he didn't go as far aszarkonite
- making the sky on Dune black (due to lack of moisture, there is no blue). But I trust his vision, he's done really well so far.zarkonite
- Hope it works out.PhanLo

I wish people would stop wanking to the ghost of Jodorowsky's Dune.
He never read the book.
He didn't know how it ended, and changed the ending.
And he was an admitted rapist.

- ^ it was shot in abu dabi and jordan.zarkonite
- The photo still looks pedestrian, same goes for the two characters. Nothing seems mystical or surreal about this flick...hope they can CGI this flick to death.utopian

went along to do my duty, not expecting much
was totally blown away, loved every second of it.
would have sat thru another 2.5 hrs of pt2 there and then.
no big fan of the book (tho i have read it) but it seemed in keeping asfar as i can remember (not much)
the real problem is that there's so much stuff that needs explaining that it's hard to find an intuitive way of doing it.
lynch used internal dialogue, villeneuve has the characters explain it to each other in a clunky way. not too sure what the answer is.
