Movie good. My wife was mad that it seems all Jessica did until the end sequence was cry. The mega 420 clouds of the poison tooth scene was laughable. How did his shield keep the baron from breathing that poo poo? Eh, shields are a dumb concept but I understand its a flaw of the setting and not the movie.

Haven't read it in a while, but shield strength is adjustable and can be set high enough that you'll end up suffocating yourself due to gas not diffusing across the shield. No one would crank it that high for an entire fight, but for someone cautious enough to be shielded even when gloating over a captured opponent, well... Gotta find time to watch this today. Reading here and there that the audio mix makes it hard to hear what people are saying, but hopefully it won't be too bad.

It didn't keep him from breathing it, though, it just prevented a fatal dose. You see his shield go red once Leto exhales and right before they slam the door he's passed out on the table. Then later, he's submerged in the 10191 AD version of a bacta tub. "He's not completely healed" or something like that.

No I understand the overall concept but it falls apart when you think about it like how the slow knife is supposed to kill but everyone was just 100% sword whacking everyone because you can't film that poo poo, or how a dart just sort of hovers for a second before boring in instead of just deflecting off. Or how they just gave up doing the crunk walk across the sand because it would just look goofy on film full time, even with a worm right loving there yeah yeah there was a rider on it so maybe they could of directed it away don't get me wrong I love DUNC and the movie was overall very very good it's just those tiny things I'm picking at.

sebmojo posted:Now I think about it, the sardaukar in harkonnen gear is actually a fairly trivial plot point, especially since everyone instantly penetrates the ruse lol Re-reading the book, I kept loling about how well this kinda thing was used to raise the dramatic stakes of the inter-nobility death chess aspect of the story. They're all out-scheming each other! Schemes within scheme within schemes! It owns, and you get to feel like you're in the cool inner circle scheme club of both teams multiple times. My brain remembered the sadaukar thing being a huge twist, but they describe the scheme in, like, chapter two. And then in chapter three the target of the scheme is like "oh yeah I know and am working on my own scheme." Really lets you know off the bat: these fuckers can scheme.

My only nitpick is how they handled Yueh. In the book and the David Lynch version, knowing he was the traitor right from the start gave us an opportunity to see his inner conflict and get right inside his head.

We can't get inside his head without inner monologues. The relevant scenes in the book are almost entirely his own tortured reasoning when contrasting the plot with how he genuinely helps his masters. Also, someone mentioned diarrhea in stillsuits a few pages back and my head produced the word "stillsoup" as a result. I don't want to think about it anymore.

"He's not completely healed" or something like that. Being saved by his shield is also true to the book: “He could analyze it now. His shield had been activated, set low but still enough to slow molecular interchange across the field barrier. And he had been pushing himself away from the table… that and Piter’s shocked gasp which had brought the guard captain darting forward into his own doom.”

To be fair she didn't really have any opportunity before the helicopter ride where she commands a dude to kill another in front of her son then cuts 2 throats to be badass in non courtly ways, and a lot of that is inner monologue that got cut.

Loved a lot of it but felt the harvester scene should not have focussed on Paul. It took away from the key moment of Leto choosing his men over the spice/harvester by having Paul do something really stupid (walking all the way up to the harvester, which was established as being quite far, to casually sit down and have himself another vision while the worm was basically on top of them). Killed the pacing and tension of the scene for me, plus I felt it missed the point of that moment in the story. At least they waited until after to actually show the vision. drat there were a lot of long visions... I mean it's not a huge thing but it bugged me. Also did not care for the score at all, almost none of it really fit the scenes. Felt more like a collection of random notes than a score for the most part and I hated the vocalisation parts, felt they took away a lot of the emotional power of scenes and actually served as a jump scare for me at one point because suddenly this woman starts screaming in my ear during a quiet moment.

In the mapes scene she was clearly very controlled and prepared to handle violence herself, she was ordering the guard to let her handle it surreptitiously while talking to mapes. The harvester focusing more on Paul was a little unnecessary, there could have been another spice scene anywhere, but the movie took the time to show a Fremen/Kynes reacting to "drat the spice, save the men!"

Ya Lynch had paul getting high on spice cow tales right before the hunter seeker, kind of diminshed Leto’s character ya felt out of place during the harvester scene

I swear I had a PTSD flashback to *ancient lamentation plays* from the Schnyder cut of justice league when that part of the theme kicked in. I seriously wondered if they had just spliced in that theme it sounded so similar. But over all the soundtrack was the weakest part of the film, I agree.

Watched it at home with a big TV and booming surround sound. It was FANTASTIC. Personally, I always disliked Lynch Dune so I made no comparisons to it. This movie fucks. It fucks hard until you are almost finished. I am ready for Dune II because I have the balls of Ibad iykwim

That shot of the baron curled up in the corner of the ceiling after getting toothed owned. And that little instrument one of his attendants was playing And they really emphasized the bull's head and the old duke. In fact I think that the baron deliberately looks a lot like one of those gigantic, jacked bulls

This film needs to have a director's cut of like 2 more hours of footage. The whole thing felt rushed, and cut out so much of what makes the book great. It sort of reminds me of what if you only had 30 minutes of a 90 minute movie to get to know Ned Stark before he's offed.

I guess it's amazing that Lord of the Rings got adapted somewhat as well as it did, because this definitely felt like a very abridged version of the first half of something that would be far better as a 10 part one hour each series. I mean, the thing eventually found its way to HBOMAX anyhow :dog:

punishedkissinger posted:i saw the Dune movie. had no knowledge of Dune beforehand. The guided missiles are actually kind of weird and are something that most of the houses don't use, the Harkonnens use of ancient artillery weapons is actually a surprise to the Atreides in the book (where they are just conventional artillery). The shields render most forms of ballistic weaponry obsolete, except for the lasers which create an explosion that kills the shield wearer, the laser person, and everyone within a large area around them. Most houses also have atomic weapon stockpiles, but it's a last resort thing that keeps military conflicts small and prevents total war between the houses - which is why they prefer to follow a code of sanctioned revenge that isn't mentioned by name, but more or less hinted at. There are no computers because of a religious taboo from like thousands of years ago. Humans are trained to prefer calculations in the way that computers would be used. Paul is one of these people, but they dropped that part despite it being very important to the whole Kwisatz Haderach aspect of him because the movie is already 2.5 hours long and Villeneuve wanted a minimum of exposition.
