not golden age, but I did hear just yesterday that Iain M. Banks' estate just signed new management. Consider Phlebas would be a loving amazing movie or miniseries
I can't even imagine what Iain M. Banks' books being adapted to film would look like.

Also, speaking of science fiction film adaptations, the movie Predestination is a film adaptation of Heinleins "All You Zombies".
More people need to know about it, and it's one of those movies that need to be watched completely blind.

A Motherboard open-source intelligence investigation, with some help from lead researcher and trainer at Bellingcat Aric Toller, shows that before he was a star, Chalamet was just another dweeb on YouTube, showing off his Xbox 360 controllers to a small following. Chalamet’s public relations representatives did not immediately return Motherboard’s request for comment.

Also, I just found out Chalamet is American. Born in New York. I guess I figured anyone with that outrageously French a name had to be born in France.

Was the coffee scene meant to imply that they were sucking water from their stillsuit tubes and spitting it into the coffee pot, or were they literally just spitting in the pot? The later doesn't make a lot of sense, especially since I'd expect the Fremen to be particularly dry-mouthed people.

Desert buddies spit out of respect, to share water. I took it as like an “I’m contributing to the group” thing. Presumably most of the liquid in the coffee is not spit.

Mine definitely laughed at Leto spitting to show respect.

The walk was funny. There's no way to film it that isn't funny. It was funny in Lynch's version too.

I defy anyone to film themselves walking without rhythm in a way that isn't funny. Make sure your friends are there to watch it

The must un-fantastic avitar on the forum (guranteed!)
Chalamet was great. The take they did on him where he's not speaking the Kings English was nice. He just said poo poo and cussed out his mom. Other than that, poo poo was way too drawn out. I mean I'm not one of those people who you aways hear say "oh I knew that was coming", but drat how long did we have to watch that black oil bath before it was dead obvious he was sitting under there? "Oh ok he's in the oil bath." "Spike just walked up and talked to the bath so he's definitely there." "Ok how much longer do we have to look at the black oil bath?" "OK I GOT IT he's under there." Then ooowe boy! big reveal!! Half naked fat actor. Said some dark poo poo before he went back in. "Ok got it. He's pretty drat wretched." Jacked rear end anticlimactic bullshit. Most of the drat movie followed the same formula.

I have to say that the Sci-Fi (now d/b/a Syfy) channel's three-part remake of Dune and even their sequel miniseries series Children of Dune were superior to this current remake, and that's with an understanding that Children of Dune was in no way good. From the first scene in this remake, it's boring, the actors don't appear convincing as their characters and there is little to draw the viewer in. Dialogue seems truncated from prior tellings of the story, leaving the viewer feeling disconnected from the characters and their struggles.

Technobabble, a hallmark of most science fiction, is mentioned here and there in the order familiar to those who know the plot, but it's like they're just checking off boxes on a list someone told them they had to include. Pauses between lines and scenes are overly long and melodramatic, making scene transitions and stretches of silence have more dramatic impact than the actual bits that advance the plot or could provide character development.

Also I was less than impressed but hardly surprised that they felt obliged to make the first Fremen we see on camera Black. What's the point of that? Doesn't it break immersion for everyone else? There's this group of natives, not presumed Earth-descendant outsiders like the Attreides, but native people of Arrakis called the Fremen and they have common ancestry and hate outsiders... but oh yeah, this one's Earth African and that's totally normal and not jarring. I know that later in Herbert's books, in Chapterhouse Dune, they actually have the Bene Gesserit encounter literally Jews in Space 26000 years in the future, but this is meant to be a retelling of the original story which didn't include such anachronisms. I understand why they make such decisions, which makes me like it even less.

Thumbs down on 2021 Dune.
