Groovelord Neato posted:The actor who played Thufir has been in a bunch of stuff but I recognized him as a regular judge on the Law and Orders. Looking up IMDb credits, Stephen McKinley Henderson has been in a lot of stuff, he's one of those, "Oh, it's that guy." Babs Olusanmokun (Jamis) is playing Dr. M'Benga in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. That's something to look forward to.

Random continuity observation In almost every shot of the gom jabbar scene, Mohaim’s fingers are in a different pose. It got so ridiculous that I started laughing Also Mohaim is wearing a hat indoors but then she’s outside and she’s not wearing a hat but then her underlings are wearing hats. Does Mohaim make her underlings her hat carriers or did Charlotte Rampling at some point decide I’m not wearing this loving heavy thing anymore

Jessica was the result of that "union"

Yeah and just because that's what the books did, prequels or not, doesn't mean that's what happens in the movie. They chose not to make him severely diseased so obviously that's not canon to the movie.

Rewatching and the heighliners are clearly ships and not tunnels. Also the cool guys in the orange helmets aren't navigators since Thufir says three navigators and there are five of them. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Oct 22, 2021 |

I don’t think anyone’s calling them tunnels in the sense of like dwarves mined them to connect Manhattan and Jersey. They mean if it’s a “tunnel” through space a la Stargate. So you’d need evidence of it moves or just chills in orbit.

Rotten Red Rod posted:One small quibble is that I'm a little disappointed they didn't work the "slow blade pierces the shield" thing better into Duncan's fight scenes. For the moments they explain it, it happens, sure, but then in an actual fight they just kinda stab at normal speed. It would have been fun to really see them fully choregraph a fighting style where the killing blow has to be slow. I disagree, friend. I thought they did pretty well paying it off. Maybe not as much in the sword scenes, but the bombs that were dropped on shielded ships and whatnot all visibly checked their momentum, and slowly went through. Plus the way Duncan swiped the hunter-seeker that tried to penetrate the shield.

People say that Dune isn't about a hero doing hero poo poo, it's about the dangers of a charismatic leader followed as a god. I think maybe it's an object lesson about not picking fights with peeps all the time, because the enmity you inspire might create an enemy that will wipe you out. Harkonnens could have just swallowed their pride and chilled on their planet and spent their money. But nope. Had to make a martyr and piss off his son. KH would have never been born without the actions of the Emperor and Baron. Well, that said, the Baron was just doing what the Emperor commanded. But same thing. Emperor ended his own reign by being a dick.

Slow bombs were cool, drill bullets were cool. But I do agree that the melee battles didn’t seem to differentiate between slow and fast sword slashes except for maybe one or two exceptions

Villeneueve’s Heighliner setup seems… inefficient one Heighliner would have to hoof it out to the destination, which would be a nightmare by conventional travel. Then it would have to connect to a second Heighliner so that theyd act as portals to each other. Book heighliners just need one and they go wherever they please

I liked the art design in the movie and I think I might be in a minority. But I think it emphasizes how far in the future this is. The palace at Arrakeen may be a far future building, but it's old by American standards. We don't know how old but at least hundreds of years. The sandstone construction makes a lot of sense for an ancient building. The sandstone cores of the pyramids are still around as American buildings are crumbling. These far future humans with a more minimalist culture and an eye fixed on dynastic legacy would build monolithic stone buildings, not shiny steel and glass that falls apart in 50 years. I do think the Lynch Castle Caladan was a better set than the one we got, but that set helped bankrupt the production.

I fully expected to come into this thread to find everybody taking huge dumps on it because goons always hate everything but I'm glad to be wrong and that really speaks to how good it was. loving pumped for part 2. I am a huge fan of the Lynch Dune, and was rolling my eyes at yet another shakycam everything is CGI worms with spikes scifi movie coming out. Then Europe got to see it first and those dudes kept bombarding the Facebook scifi literature groups saying how amazing it was and we HAVE to see it. So my expectations went from dogshit to I'll go see it, it can't be as bad as the tv series. Saw it in the theater this morning and I was loving floored how good it was. I hope it's just not the initial love affair phase of a crap movie, and I don't think it is. But even the thopter designs worked. When you read the book I was always "man this is so 60s scifi thinking" and it was even too weird for Lynch to try and do. But those things looked great. I loved them. I basically splooged all over this. Finally. A good drat movie.
