It was really nice to see Toronto not trying to be some other city for once, and it was a compelling plot, but I really don't get the ending. https://www.vulture.com/article/enemy-movie-ending-explained.html I don't think there's a spoonfed explanation out there, but it's cool

The Voice probably works on animals to some degree, it's whole effect is basically to bypass most of the conscious brain and slam the 'AUTHORITY' button.

I mean what are chairdogs if not dogs that have been told to “sit” while using the voice? Edit: but seriously aren’t distrans evidence that people in that universe have commodified the science of imprinting animals?

I had a terrible nightmare were they gave Paul a comic relief sidekick for the sequel and the war devolved into slapstick fights in the sand. I blame Elvis.

Noam Chomsky posted:Highly recommend Metabarons. Same, though with the caveat that it is the second most Jodorowsky thing ever made for better and for worse (the first most is definitely another comic he did later in the same setting called The Techno Priests). I think the spider is an homage, but maybe more like the Lion King/Kimba similarities where no one Dune effects/art person was like "let's homage this specific thing" but they just collectively arrived at that from general inspiration.

Pretty sure there are a dozen other ways to do that and keep a PG13. We all saw the rave thing in the Matrix. Let’s not do that again.

Seems like the author of the article is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, while not really justifying the claims the headline and subheadlines are making. I imagine that even a semi-talented script writer can easily work the script to include everything but the actual bumping uglies part of the orgy.

There are some important bits around that scene, but yeah you could shift them around or just not depict a literal orgy pretty easily.

The metaphorical orgy is more important than the physical orgy. I want Chani getting freaked out when Paul's prescience starts leaking more than I want to see Stilgar laying pipe.

The banquet scene was a much bigger deal. Did they actually shoot it? I swore there’s some photos of Jessica in a dinner dress floating around.

I heard they shot it and of course since Villeneuve hates deleted scenes we'll probably never see it.

Yeah, the banquet scene was much more important in terms of understanding the forces at play, which later on go on to affect the plot of the book. To not shoot it because it relies heavily on internal dialogue would be one thing, but to shoot and then get rid of it? That's just frustrating, because it seems to suggest to me that they had an idea of how to do it, and just didn't try hard enough.

I think the issue is the movie was already very long and if you gave the banquet you need to include the suk conditioning and the whole subplot about who the traitor is. I get how that's a big part of the story and important in a lot of ways but I think it's a very elegant way to trim the story down. Maybe some day when Villeneuve is done with releasing however many dunes he wants to do he'll turn around and see if he can re-edit them as a single 10 hour miniseries or whatever. I'm not counting on it, but I'd love to see it some day.

Directors should constantly re-edit and special edition and director's cut and otherwise screw with their stuff to see if they can make other cool poo poo with it. The original is still there for us to enjoy, why not get some new cuts that gives the rest of us new lenses into pieces of art we love?
