I'll see this on HBO Max next Friday and then I'll watch it on 35mm at my local art theater when they play it every year.

Yeah I'd wait for part 2 to judge Zendaya if it happens. If not  at the cliffhanger. They can add "read the rest in the book" to the end credits or something.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:Man, I don't know if I liked it. It was an objectively better movie than lynch's, but honestly the first half of this story is not really the exciting half, and it's gonna be a long rear end while before we get to the good stuff. If we do! That's the real rub. This could be it.

DeimosRising posted:The book doesn't really do anything to sell that he's so charismatic either. It just sort of assumes he is, and that "works" to an extent because we don't actually see him or anything. A little late here. I just have been reading the book for the first time and it works within the context of the novel because mostly the Fremen want to believe in him because of their legends and he fits on at least a high level. He wouldn't have to work hard to do so. But to your point, that doesn't mean Paul is *actually* charismatic. Honestly he comes off as a petulant little poo poo to me. Smart but still.

AlternateAccount posted:You can't do a Dune rock opera because David Bowie is too dead to be Paul, Steve Perry is too old to be Gurney Halleck, Mick Jagger is too old to be the Emperor, and Stevie Nicks is too old to be Moiham. Sting could be Emperor Shaddam IV though.

I remember the credits theme for the original because it was hilariously out of place.

Neo Rasa posted:I get the feeling Feyd was cut from the story completely and Rabban is just going to be it. Otherwise his orders to squeeze here wouldn't have been built around them needing massive amounts of income to cover their re-taking of Arrakis - In the book it's because he wants to set up the people of Arrakis to despise Rabban's rule so that he can drop Feyd in to rule with a softer touch making him beloved. The squeezing for income is actually what he tells Rabban is the point in the book, I just read past that part yesterday. There's no inner monologue in this film so there's no way to know what people's real plans and thoughts are. He doesn't say a drat word out loud to anyone about his real plan with Feyd supplanting Rabban.

Torquemada posted:The book starts out pretty good, but after my second read through noticed a massive drop in quality in the writing after Paul drinks the water of life. The entire ending is hurried, overstated and clumsy, even barely comprehensible in places. I mean it's kind of hard to show a two year guerilla war that results in the emperor showing up just in time to lose the last city on Arrakis. This is why it was just a montage in the Lynch film.

kalel posted:I followed that link to another variety article that just released today: Denis Villeneuve: ‘Movies Have Been Corrupted by Television’ and a ‘Danger in Hollywood’ Is Thinking About ‘Release Dates, Not Quality’ I dunno I don't think I'd have remembered Blade Runner's climax so much if instead of the "tears in rain" monologue, Roy Batty just looked at Deckard, smiled, and died. quote:They certainly made part 2 with the expectation that Messiah was going to happen. I mean, imagine how part 1 would have gone down in retrospect if part 2 didn't happen. I feel like it's unlikely this is gonna bomb but I guess we'll see soon enough.
