Jessica going 'Use the Voice' literally over breakfast like she's teaching a little Paul to say 'please' is kind of a hilarious bit. And it demonstrates how she treats it and wants Paul to treat it- to be able and willing to use it casually, because it very much can mean the difference between life and death. Bene Gesserit don't do fair fights.

Considering the way the story unfolds, there is no such thing as a fair fight. If you believe there is, you've already lost

Was way more unsettling and off-putting than Lynch's treatment.

But the sound design in this film, the Voice in particular, is really something special.

The ornithopter scene is especially good for the Voice. People call the Bene Gesserit witches, but Jessica was positively demonic there. I don't especially like the idea of portraying the Voice as some dramatic scifi sound effect. It's meant to be subtle and insidious. But it worked so well in this film.

Jessica's always been my favourite character in the series probably because she's basically Cool Mom Space Witch. She feels like one of the most human characters in the series, probably helps that her own relationships with others and her own agency are majorly important themes that set everything in motion.

I really liked how they showed Paul's point of view when having the Voice used on him by Mohiam. No magic trick, no fancyful illusions, no grand struggle of wills. You're told to do something and you just do it, reflexively, automatically, nearly without even realising that you're doing it. And even fully knowing what is happening, you can't do a drat thing about it.

I do like a specific aspect of how Lynch envisioned the Voice. In his treatment, it sounds like it infects the intended recipient, rolling around in their head, which overrides their free will and is a forced compulsion for them "act" upon. But Villeneuve's vision of how people react to the Voice is more forceful, like Perestroika points out.

I'm with you that the Voice is thematically better framed as a super subtle thing : I think it'd actually be perfect if it was imperceptible as different except that it hijacks control of you, that'd be be so loving cool. But I don't think that plays in a movie at all. Works great in a book, but in a movie you need some kind of overt signal that something's happening*, so you're basically stuck having some kind of auditory or visual signifier. And then we're basically just talking about art design for the obvious thing (keeping in mind that somehow this story is too subtle for idiots as is). *Well, okay, you could do a whole thing about interpreting the ambiguity of if the the Voice is being used here or there and what is being commanded and what is people's own agency, but you'd have to do so much rewriting to make that work because that also wouldn't play with the script as written.

The build up of the voice is so good in the new movie. I almost wanted to look away when Jessica used it on the ornithopter.

btw lol at people who actually thought that, because the voice actually is faithful to the spirit of the book's description as it relates to genetic memory of the maternal lineage if dunc haters had their way the voice would have a bunch of random modulations that take away all dramatic effect. it would sound like pewdiepie gargling a rabbit's rear end

I remember we were batting around ideas for the Emperor earlier, for some reason Pugh reminds me a little bit of Crispin Glover, I could see him pulling that off.

The movies have casting that ranges from perfect (Rebecca Furguson) to 'okay I guess but not who I pictured' (Zendaya) but Pugh would be fantastic as Irulan.

I'd be ok with Herzog as the Emperor, but my head canon is that he's the black guy who plays the Imperial Herald on Caladan (Benjamin clementine). I like the idea of the Emperor being unrecognizable and getting up to hijinks on his own behalf

I like the idea of the Emperor being unrecognizable and getting up to hijinks on his own behalf I think a lot of people were floating the idea that Shaddam and everyone else in Corrino were going to be black based on that guy. Would have been cool, but I guess Pugh kills that theory. Irulan is such a nothing role in the actual action of the book even though she has a cool presence in the chapter intro quotes, so this announcement is kind of uninteresting. Can't wait to see her conspire with Edric and Scytale in Messiah, I guess, but also stand around doing nothing in the final scene of 2UNE.

Buttchocks posted:The industry has always churned out plenty movies like that. The vast majority of them are justifiably forgotten, but people went to theaters to watch them for amusement. There's a poo poo-ton of classical music that's forgettable garbage too, and most of it is never played anymore. We only remember the Mozarts and Beethovans.

Who would make a good Shaddam IV really depends on if the movie focuses more on the “Final Boss” or “Guy who ignores and fatally misunderstands his collapsing regime” aspect of the character. You’d probably go with the latter if you want to focus more on the Baron and Feyd as the “true” villains. Which I think they’ll probably go with considering the very, let’s call it non-Lynchian, portrayal DUNC had of the Harkonnens.

I'm not sure there was enough plans within plans and scheming being portrayed in Dune I, that'd allow the emperor to be portrayed as the final boss who's plans within plans are better than those of anyone elses, and whose only real failing was not foreseeing a demonstrably godlike character, whose existence was only known to a very select number of individuals and who had kept it hidden for hundreds of generations.

This doesn't really need to be said, it's not news to anyone, but Grimes is profoundly stupid in exactly the same way as all 15 year olds. She's got this arrested maturity thing where she never stopped thinking she's the smartest person in the world.
