Snoop won't even be part of the episode story, they're gonna just drive by him and the camera will linger long enough for him to go "I'm Jizzo Bluntblaster and I love space weed" before spending five minutes taking a giant hit of a stormtrooper helmet shaped bong.

there weren't any guild navigators in 2021 dune, whereas david lynch dune had an extended sequence of a guild navigator (who looked like a giant hosed-up space manatee in a tank of liquid). lynch's navigator calculated ftl routes by shooting lasers out of its rear end there were other differences too

overall, i can't say i was blown away by the new dune. the special effects were amazing, by any standard, but the screenplay exaggerated all of herbert's worst tendencies, namely how the characters are total blank slates who just act for the sake of the plot. it didn't help that villeneuve dropped most of the interesting weirdness of the dune universe, e.g. mentats, the butlerian jihad, guild navigators, etc. it made the movie more accessible but at the expense of some idiosyncracy i can't remember if the harkonnens were as one-dimensional in the book as they were here, but they were very one-dimensional. just pure mustache-twirling villains as indigi said, they probably should've been more judicious with what to cut from the book. drop the whole dr. yueh betrayal plot and put more focus on the political situation or something, idk one thing i don't remember from the book (i read it over 10 years ago) is why did the harkonnens and the sardaukar invade arrakis in the first place? i thought the whole plan was to set the atreides up to fail by giving them busted-rear end equipment and impossible quotas. that never really... happened. instead, they just flew in on landing ships and killed everybody

iirc, its been a while since I read but in the books it’s implied that Leto’s plan might have been to marry Irulan to establish Atreides as the next imperial house, and he was going around gauging his support for this among the other houses before the novel started. it is explicit however that he was a very popular figure, and the Emperor felt threatened enough that he gave Harkonnen his sardaukar to make absolutely 100% sure that Leto ended up dead. the sabotage is basically a decoy so that the Atreides focused on finding spies and saboteurs rather than preparing for a direct assault

by the way, i feel like i see a covid analogy in the baron harkonnen assassination scene. duke leto poisons almost everyone in the room... but the baron survives due to access to the oily black goop/adrenochrome bath. feels similar to the superdrugs that trump and abbott get dibs on that let them survive covid

Dune 2021 is packed full of nice touches hinting at the previous attempts to film Dune by Jodorowsky and Lynch. Dune 2021 and 1984 have similar expository scenes with the Atreides receiving the message from the Emperor and the Emperor receiving the threat from the spacing guild. Giedi Prime seemed very inspired by the Jodorowsky concept art.

i enjoyed it but the movie's aesthetic hews to 201X scandinavian minimalism that's become ubiquitous in "dumb smart" films (e.g., all nolan movies) the japandi aesthetic (look it up) is so common with how friends setup their homes these days it's eye rolling

I think Dunc really dropped the ball in how it basically ignored the, I don’t know, cultural?, aspects of the setting. Things like Mentats and no computers and the weird hosed up way space feudalism works weren’t just there to be weird. They were really integral to understanding how these people think and why they act the way they do.

I like the dragonfly helicopters but that and the crucifixions were the only imaginative bits, it didn't really add anything unlike lynch dune which had loads of iconic stuff in it I didn't realise was from that film not the books The atreides get double teamed by the Emperor and the harkonnens coz Leto is making an army that can actually fight, which only the Emperor has with his crazy sardaukar. The new movie kinda obscures this by making all the armies monochrome power rangers who seem roughly as good as eachother. The harkonnen forces are meant to be complete garbage who only win because of the hyperelite sardaukar who in turn get completely dumpstered by the ultraelite fremen

It made sense not to focus on such.

Dune movie is as good if not better than any movie that will ever get made these days. I think people don't realize that the scope of the movie legitimately only covers less than half of the first book. There were no serious Fremen on Sardukar battles at that point and every faction was trying to play their hand somewhat close to their chest. BG doesn't want anyone to know about the voice or pussy kung fu unless absolutely necessary. Fremen want the harkonens to think there are 5,000 of them not 50,000,000. Kinda glad the movie doesn't explain everything because there's a lot to explain and in the book it's mostly done via "voice over" or omniscient narration. Also tracking the financials is some real econ 101 poo poo because all of the variables have been turned on their head and I would never expect anyone's analysis to be able to account for what the delta variant + hbo release is going to do to the numbers Jokerpilled Drudge has issued a correction as of 14:22 on Oct 23, 2021 |

i feel like they did a good job of dropping in little details that book readers would notice while keeping it accessible to the normies. not much wordy exposition except for when Paul is studying his educational film strips about Arrakis. like how all the Fremen cut themselves with their knives before they sheath them.

Agreed. Denis Villeneuve has jammed heaps of foreshadowing and heaps of little winks to those that have read the books into the visuals and editing. It's an amazing achievement, an actual good Dune movie.

yeah i was really surprised how much book/lore stuff they put in the film. there was a whole heap of stuff i was expecting them to ignore or put into part 2. i was a little worried about the adaptation based on the trailers and a general fondness for the weirdness of the lynch version but it all works really well when in the context of the whole film. it felt like someone had mandated a 2.5 hour runtime, though, and i'd love maybe 15-20 minutes to flesh out some stuff and ease up on how sudden some of the editing is.

it was awesome. I think if you didnt like it youre probably a little baby who doesnt like anything. finally an epic that isnt a star wars or marvel trash. over 2 hour movie that felt short. wife and I loved it. perfect, no, but about as good as it could be. loved the design of pretty much everything, which I was surprised by because it didnt pop to me in the pictures, but everything worked really well in motion. I just wish the dumbasses at the studio let them film the next one so we could watch it soon rather than in like 3 years.
