ADULT BEEFSWELLING OF DUNE

Chapter One

Moist within the intimate enclosure of his stillsuit, the dark figure gazed across the desertscape. "All that meets the eye is calm and tranquil," he essayed, "but stirring within my loins is wormsign the likes of which God Himself has never seen."

God this is going to be a very painful next few days waiting for this drat trailer. Watch it drop and everyone decides this looks like crap. I don't think theres ever been this much hype in a fandom over the release of a movie trailer before.

Yeah, with some of these types of movies, they have to compromise. Make it flashier and "epic" enough to pull in the larger market, while still trying to please the fans, and just creating something that no one likes.

They're testing the poo poo out of these trailers and they go with the best testing numbers. Those numbers aren't based on what hard-core fans most want to see, our asses are already in the theater. It's what pulls the demos in the best, so it's rare that the trailer pleases the hard-cores.

Like basically how do you pull in the females 35+ quad? How do you do that and also hit the other quads? They don't develop one trailer, they develop many and what tests the best wins out with endless tweaks that more often than not lowers the quality of the trailer but hey all the filmmakers, testing and execs all have to have their say.

In my opinion trailers are often perfect around version 20 and then often finish around version 30, 40 or even 50.

Rereading God Emperor for the first time in, like, twenty years.

God, is Leto an unsufferable oval office. "Nuh, nuh - I won't tell" "You'll find out when it is time" "No, I can't give you a straight answer, that would require an extra sentence and I need that sentence to talk about how I'm awesome and y'all suck"

No wonder they try to kill him all the time.

Now hoping they made this a two-parter primarily so they could somehow work that scene in and make it last 15 minutes.

gently caress it, prescience, do it as a flash-forward.

How do you film 600 pages of internal monologue? It would be terrible. I always invisioned it as being like one of those TV shows where the laugh track has been taken out, but with even more awkward pauses.

I have an old version read by Scott Brick that I am partial to.

Only narrated by him without any other cast.

think it is this one according to reddit

Also correct

Still, giving a straight answer to "what would you like for dinner" once a century would probably reduce assassination attempts by at least 40%
