Also opposite of reality

Sorry but its true, the book is boring. The Hobbit is better as a book, but Lord of the Rings is better as a movie. Nervous about how the Amazon TV show adaptation is going to go.

It’s not an adaptation so will probably just be generic fantasy poo poo

Christopher Tolkien in late 2001 just before the movies came out: “I recognize that this is a debatable and complex question of art, and the suggestions that have been made that I 'disapprove' of the films, whatever their cinematic quality, even to the extent of thinking ill of those with whom I may differ, are wholly without foundation.”

Christopher Tolkien in 2012: “They gutted the book, making an action film for 15 to 25-year-olds.”

Look who is still pissy they didn’t have a half hour song devoted to Tom Babidinall.

Not complaining about Josh Brolin, but if they had accurately cast "ugly lump of a man" Gurney, I wonder who they would have gone with.

J.K. Simmons. Seriously. Aged badass lothario musician MMA mentor who's just shy of being 'handsome' but still a man-rear end dude. His entire career has built up to it. Brolin is cool and all but despite the past decade's successes he's still the meathead older brother from the Goonies.

Frank Klepacki re-did the soundtrack for Dune 2000 (the updated/remake of Dune II) and elements of that song are used in the track 'Under Construction': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOoTQS1oezQ&t=9s

Here is the original DUne II soundtrack on his website though, if you do want that: https://www.frankklepacki.com/ost/vg/dune2

Speaking of the videogames, here is a retrospective on Dune II, 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune which came out on youtub this week.

Thanks! Glad the history mentions the influence of Herzog Zwei. What a technical showpiece that game was.


edit; on another note, pretty excited for the C&C remaster

Only thing that's "bad" about this video, is that it doesn't really mention Dune Generations, at all.

Studios are extremely cautious about when to start screenings and last I heard they hadn't had a screening that included Brian. He surely would have blabbed all about it if he had.

Usually the first screenings are for influencers from lack of a better word and that's when you start seeing tweet reactions. Someone like Brian who is only involved in the sense that he gets a useless executive producer credit would probably see the 3rd or 4th screening.

It's April and it's coming out in December. At this point it'll just be Villenueve, the editorial team, the writer(s), and the producers that will have seen a full cut. Also maybe the composer, though they probably wouldn't get a full cut, rather a bunch of individual scenes and sequences. VFX also would be getting partial sequences to work on too, not a full cut.

Brian won't see it until like three weeks before release.

Arrogant as gently caress House Atrides. Father of the duke kiled by raging bull, because they just produce a show for his people forbidden by EU but allowed by Caladan. Constantly humiliate Harkonnen for bravery which they lack

And if Jessica listened to her Order, instead of her duke Leto who she fallen with. She would produce a girl who could marry Feud-Rautha and thus reconcile the encient feud. Instead she gave birth to Paul and thus green/black banners forever.

and the daughter from THAT Union would have been the true KH, according to the BG.

The BG assumed that she would be BG trained and under BG control, but considering how little control they had on Jessica, that idea is laughable.
