Dune

Maybe I’m just a total sucker for Lynch, but I also liked the original. There are some things I probably liked more about the original than this one. But there is no doubt that part of what made the original so ridiculous is that it tried to compress the entire book into a single film. It already feels much more manageable. I wish Lynch had that option, I assume the studio said no (which sucks, Star Wars around the same time got 3 films.)

Props to Timothy Chalamander, he was really good as Paul. I almost prefer him to my man Twin Peaks Kyle, who didn’t have much edge as a young man.

Spoiler When Timmy used the voice it was startling and really effective.

Also Zimmer's score simply rocked.

Holy shit... the movie is amazing, and I walked in with mildly high expectations given who the director is, (I've never read the books, but I will now!!) I'm so stoked there's going to be 2 more!

I didn't realize he did Sicario. That movie owned. I need to watch Bladerunner, haven't seen that yet

Also, Arrival is the most underrated sci-fi movie, ever!!

I thought it was pretty good. Nothing too special, but certainly enjoyable.

Lmao ?

Also, how cool is it that Dune 2 got green lit immediately? Love it when quality gets the nod.

Just watched Blade Runner, that rocked. If he had edited it for pace a little bit more it would have been every bit as good as Dune. I guess he learned a thing or two. Crazy ass sex scene, very original… and that Ryan Gosling sure is a soulful white boy!

I'm just surprised that nothing was already green lit, not even a pre production, like what executive sees the movie and doesn't go, "yep, people will love this".

You mean to tell me that executives are out of touch from the base that actually buy their products? What gave you that idea?

Funcom is working on a game from the Dune universe, so who knows

I think it was fair to wait and see. Dune only gets weirder from here. I mean, I can understand the studio being cautious about "guy turns into sandworm"

Fascinated about this movie.
