They probably saw what happened with Tenet forcing its way into theaters and thought "good thing that wasn't us"

Tenet is going to be in theaters for like a year though. It will make its money back and then some.

Titanic allowed James Cameron a chance to be a smug prick. Therefore Titanic isn't good.

Also it really sucked. But the Academy loves poo poo films that act pretentious so it won big.

For the real book length disparity make the first Dune adaptation like five hours long and then make the Dune Messiah adaptation 85 minutes long.


I really like that movie a lot. If anyone hasn't seen it it really is like an Alien 3 Assembly Cut level difference in quality. Even much greater in some ways with how much more character and plot was cut out.

All of Ridley Scott's director cuts are superior. Across the board. I can't think of another director where this is the case. Maybe Zack Snyder?

Best iteration so far was that Sci-fi miniseries, so that wasn't possible.

Unfortunately the only decent adaptation had a dogshit budget and late 90s CGI.

So no, it hasn't been made into a film before in my opinion.

I have to agree, while the film is still great in spite of the medicore fights, it's not because the fights are a minor part of the film. I think I count a half dozen knife fight scenes?

it's almost like the dagger fights were more realistic instead of some prolonged choreographic dance or some bullshit

It sounds like motherfucking distorted bagpipes or some poo poo -- if that's even possible.
