Original Star Wars explains a good bit about itself tbh. Both in terms of clunky expository dialogue and unspoken obvious stuff like droids=slaves or the empire being racist/sexist as hell

The scene where vader is talking to the admirals in particular delivers a ton of exposition, it's just done fairly well so your brain may not have noticed

Got my imax tickets for next Thursday. We have beefswelling the likes of which God has never seen. Believe me, the sleeper has awakened, if you know what I mean. My only concern is Brolin. Watching the "Im not in the mood" training scene that was released...well, one can't fault him for not living up to Stewart, but he can be such a wooden actor, as he seems here. Also just reread Dune through God Emperor. GEOD is so good; going to stop there though

Now that I think about it yeah I guess so, I can’t even remember what the ghost mind or whatever was trying to do other than stop the guy from taking off in his spaceship. It’s been ages since I read it.

Look, I didn't write it and I didn't remember it clearly, but I don't think it's exactly far-fetched that a woman in the dune universe knows she won't get a whole lot of agency over her legacy. Jessica was purchased.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:... It’s gonna bomb SO hard. No one cares about your weird sci fi movie centered around drugs and loving psychic weirdo women. You think a movie that doesn’t have Marvel’s logo is going to make money lol. Just pathetic copium. Disney supremacy4life. I would be surprised if it makes even a -quarter- of its cost back. The strong reviews lauding its artistry is already a sign the general public will hate it. Stop deluding yourself.

It could bomb, only some sort of knowing beforehand technique could tell us. Like previous... sensing... idk, I'm gonna wait and see Also did anyone figure out if the jump ahead HBO is doing its merely coincidental with the Netflix walkout? Doubt Netflix is going to lose availability or anything. Might have been posted but I'd have to pay attention to poo poo

lmao imagine worrying about dune spoilers at this point. Take the water of life you cowards HBO release is literally shooting box office numbers in the back of the head. If you were trying to track the success of Dune via it's opening night financials you can now go gently caress yourself (which you probably should have just done to begin with)
