I dearly love long shot action scenes like this where it would clearly be an absolute nightmare to reset everything and film it a second time so they just go with whatever happens and improvise around it

Yeah they only had one floor set up for shooting so they had to clean up and reset the scene behind the action and used the elevator to redress the new floor's lobby

Also the slow mo just before the elevator when Tony Leung shoots a cop was to conceal a cut; not to merge two takes, but because the cameras they were using couldn't hold enough film to do what they wanted so they had to trade off rolling cameras mid-shot

He's a total hack but I thought it was cute. Love me some hammy performances of 20's authors. And the "nostalgia shop" idea was on the money then and only gotten worryingly more accurate since.

mostly i really disliked how the main character is this incredible genius who everyone loves and all the greatest authors and artists in the world want to hang out with him and all the hot parisian women want to gently caress him and his only flaw is that the present is a little boring to him and actually its cool that he was a complete dick to his fiancee because shes a scumbag and a cheater. the only conflict in the movie is answering "which of these beautiful women am i going to gently caress?"

Exploration is ill-advised.

Dude on the right looks more like Mr 1. Always saw Sanji as a bit of a baby face type.

Otherwise not bad imo.

It also implies that these noble families are only barely connected to the planets they rule. The Atreides family is coded as Spanish, but their planet is coded as Scottish. They are foreign rulers even on the place they call their homeworld.

I'm reading Dune right now for the first time in 15 years and there's a bit where Leto talks about how spice makes people resistant to poison, so the Atreides will be harder to poison, but unfortunately it means they cannot easily poison a majority of their population if they wanted to. It's very much depicted as Leto, "good" by the standards of nobility, laments the loss of this tool.

Oops I didn't realize that was ten pages ago. DUNC is still relevant so there you go.

Yeah, the whole premise of the noble families being moved between fiefs is pretty key and implies it's not the first time.

Even Lord of the Rings has it, with Elven rulers often being of different cultures to their subjects, Galadriel in particular.

Netflix One Piece is probably going to be dull in design, too. The Going Merry will somehow be more brown than it is and the tropical islands will be focused on the shores, cliffs and dingy towns. They'll make the tropical climate into a desert but with sea water. Nobody hires painters anymore.
