Can we melt down about reviews at least?

It's not like I have any power beyond closing the thread, which i'm not gonna do lol, but if asked, I prefer people to stay chill. Calmly indignant. Restrained rage.

Meltdowns never look good and someone inevitably shows up to poke and prod. It kinda sucks.

Do we have guesses as to when the movie ends? Are we all assuming the orgy?

This was what I had guessed but the reviews gave it a lot of credence, so spoiler tagging out of an abundance of caution on or about the knife fight with Jamis

i am surprised to see review scores for like every major film release right now are kind of low. weirdly enough while part of me desires smooth approval from the broader culture for my sci-fi extravaganza, i am quietly relieved that dunc is prompting an array of reactions. looks like critical response in the end will be about the same as it was for blade runner 2049

Every time a Denis Villenueve movie comes out there are reviewers complaining that the movie feels cold and unemotional but thats just kind of his aesthetic and tbh I get plenty emotion out of his stuff, I think people find the lack of bombast to his drama too detached compared to more emotive dramas but thats their loss

Yeah, I can understand how not everyone would enjoy the style, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. It seems like a good fit for the inhumanly vast scale of so much of the Dune universe.

Also, I was just unboxing and shelving some books for the one year anniversary of moving into my current apartment, and I discovered I've got apparently original hardcover editions of Messiah, God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapterhouse. They used to belong to the library at the local Navy base; when that shut down a few years ago, some people at my squadron salvaged a bunch of its books and moved them into a spare conference room, which was pretty awesome. Somehow I seem to have ended up with a few of them as well.

Dune is a pretty cold book imo, so turning it into something suffused with warmth would be atonal, especially regarding its themes about "great people" being essentially inhuman.

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
i read a bad review that said the movie sucks but you'll love it if you're a dumb nerd who thought what BR 2049 needed was MORE meandering long shots of the post-cyberpocalypse

so i am confident it is better than i had dared hope imagine
