"setup for the second half" is exactly what the first half of Dune is. If it's accurate to the novel and has cinematography like villeneuve's other movies, I don't give a gently caress what some reviewer thinks

The Guardian gave it 5* and Ebert liked it so it can't be trash.

mystes posted:I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not ebert became a movie review group as he got older, using his name as the group's title, which isn't confusing at all when the man himself is dead that said, ebert had a soft spot for scifi films, though he panned the 1984 dune. the review is pretty on the nose https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dune-1984 having started a rewatch recently, i forgot how much i forgave the film when i was younger. i hadn't read the books then, so maybe the beluga of plot and characters was more overwhelming and mysterious and the effects looked better on my tv with features such as stereo sound and cable-ready (didn't have cable)

fart simpson posted:i watched all but the last season. it’s not great. i hope you like comic book schlock okay, thanks, but i specifically want to know how soon (if ever) the tone shifts back to the more positive feel of the start of the show. i can tolerate a lot of schlock, but it feels like the show is setting up for at least a season of depressing, oppressive poo poo, and i'm already watching mr roboto and living in the year 2021 and i don't need any more of that in my life

if the following doesn’t sound fun to you, probably you don’t need to watch the show: an alternate version of one of the main characters spends a whole season basically as dr. mengele working for the nazis and doing torturing and horrific human experiments and then that alternate version characters brain is merged with the real main character and for the rest of the run of the show the main character has to deal with those memories and fight the urge to abuse and murder his friends and family which lives within him, and dealing with the thoughts that the evil version was more accomplished and better than him

I love when writers are like “how do we make people take this seriously,,,, our art is important and not just a show for bored teens and stunted adults and needs to be properly understood….. I know let’s introduce a maniac sadist who winds up giving all the main characters PTSD as a plot point”

rjmccall posted:so i’m a couple episodes into the second season of agents of shield, and it’s a heavy soapy drama where everybody’s crushed with the weight of responsibility, or deeply worried, or disaffected, or brain-damaged, and nobody is having any fun at all. i assume it can’t go on like this for another 120 episodes, but still, i’m not sure i can take much more of it. can i get a rough estimate of what i’m in for? we started it earlier this summer: H.P.

i think that season their budget must have been cut back. they got to shoot the entire season on a leftover star trek soundstage or something and never even go outside or build other sets

It did get cut back, it’s a time travel storyline so they can use the same set twice with different dressing

Doesn't 1 of the main characters in agent of shield die in one of the avengers movies? Is the whole series supposed to be set before all that happens?
