The only 'good' Star Wars lightsaber fight was in TFA, because it felt physical and impactful, hacking trees apart and having bodily harm feel like it's being inflicted upon the participants. The prequel duels are baby trash.

Dune was always going to lose incredible amounts of money even it is amazing and even before every movie theater in the US closed indefinitely If anything getting to release it on HBO Max instead and just quietly never reveal how few people made it past the first hour will let them save way more face over a wide release flop

Dune is perhaps even more niche than BR2049 which flopped pretty hard in the US. Dune was going to always lose money domestically pre-covid, but oh so so so harder post-covid. they'd be lucky to even get into high 7 figures.

David Lynch Dune is one of my favorite movies. If Lynch had not had such a bad time making it that he denounced it critical opinion would have come around by now.

I enjoyed Lynch Dune as a flawed but interesting spectacle, the costumes were great for example. I'm never watching the new Dune, or reading the books.

Grevling posted:I enjoyed Lynch Dune as a flawed but interesting spectacle, the costumes were great for example. I'm never watching the new Dune, or reading the books. quote:1984’s Dune is unquestionably the worst movie of Lynch’s career, and it’s pretty darn bad. In some ways it seems that Lynch was miscast as its director: Eraserhead had been one of those sell-your-own-plasma-to-buy-the-film-stock masterpieces, with a tiny and largely unpaid cast and crew. Dune, on the other hand, had one of the biggest budgets in Hollywood history, and its production staff was the size of a small Caribbean nation, and the movie involved lavish and cutting-edge special effects (half the fourteen-month shooting schedule was given over to miniatures and stop-action). Plus Herbert’s novel itself is incredibly long and complex, and so besides all the headaches of a major commercial production financed by men in Ray-Bans Lynch also had trouble making cinematic sense of the plot, which even in the novel is convoluted to the point of pain. In short, Dune’s direction called for a combination technician and administrator, and Lynch, though as good a technician as anyone in film, is more like the type of bright child you sometimes see who’s ingenious at structuring fantasies and gets totally immersed in them but will let other kids take part in them only if he retains complete imaginative control over the game and its rules and appurtenances—in short very definitely not an administrator.
