I'm very bummed. It's worth it to get people paid fairly, but still a bummer.

If it weren't for those greedy actors and writers we'd have this movie this year.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I'm not surprised, and nor am I that unhappy about it. Yeah, except it has nothing to do with the strike other than studios hoping the public will blame the workers for the delay and hedging the studios bet if the strike lasts another six months… But yeah, a Big Mac in Denmark costs about 30¢ more than in the US and their workers get all of the above benefits. Which reminds me of that time Papa John said that if he wanted to offer everyone in his company healthcare it would increase the price of each $9.99 large pizza by ten cents and I thought “how evil does a person have to be to not have already done that for ten cents?”

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:
just a reminder that variety is a studio-controlled rag. notice some of the language they're using here quote:The “Dune” delay comes as the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes continue to drag on. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, actors may not do press for any struck films, which would have meant the star-studded “Dune” cast would not have been on the press circuit for the big-budget film.

In the meantime Rowan J Coleman talks about the first Dune most of us ever saw, the SciFi Channel Miniseries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iFMrP-TchA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5WxABzbC1I Assepoester fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Oct 16, 2023 |

I'm reading "The Sabres of Paradise", and the influence on Dune is immediately obvious. It's very compellingly written, but even by the standards of 1960 it leans incredibly heavily on race science and orientalism. Blanch also loves pseudo-etymology: I've been fact-checking his claims about the origins of certain words, since I find that stuff interesting anyway, and virtually every etymology he puts forward matter-of-factly is completely wrong. It's a good read, if you treat it more or less like a work of fiction. ETA: It's not all uniformly retrograde. Blanch is surprisingly blunt about British hypocrisy when it comes to their critiques of Russian imperialism. Cognac McCarthy fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Nov 15, 2023 |

Pretty good trailer, some insane costume and set designs. I like how they expanded on the atreides theme in the trailer music. I'm a dumbass so consider me hyped.

Loved the Pokeball ship. It's like Muad'dib said, "Gotta Catch 'Em All". On a more serious note. Some of the fx are really cheap looking, the overall tone of sterility persists, and what we have seen of Emperor looks rather bland. He's the loving 81st Padishah Emperor of House Corrino, ruler of the known universe Denis, not "some bloke". JockstrapManthrust fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Dec 13, 2023 |

I'm not looking for the Golden Throne from Lynch's version either, but something a tiny bit grander than bloke in shirt. Anyways, it’s one scene and let’s see how it is when the film is out.

I think it's in keeping with the general decayed feeling of the Imperium. The Emperor wears a bare military uniform because that's all he has to keep him in power. The ideology that once raised up this state is dead and all that's left is greed and force holding the whole shambling enterprise together.

It also reflects on what Paul becomes upon achieving the throne - not a hero-king but another, more terrible emperor. Shaddam affects the appearance of that which backs his power with the Sardaukar, and with the Fremen so does Paul.

Yeah, but in the end it's not really about Paul, it's about steering mankind against an enemy that doesn't appear for tens of thousands of years later that Paul can see with his futuresight. I gave up after book 4, though. When you look at Warham, you kinda have to laugh how much they took from everyone.

I thought Paul was just trying to avoid the galactic jihad that would have taken place after he assumed the throne?
