Anne Frank Funk posted:In my mind it’s fairly possible to film God Emperor by making the whole film about the sequence of plots against the worm and and continuous attempts to turn Duncan after Duncan, only showing Leto in full, philosophical rambling, monstrous appendage and all at the end of the film, with the execution of the final attempt coming to the conclusion. Having Leto as an unseen horror / philosophical film seems extremely up DV's alley

God Emperor should be made in the style of Tarkovsky's Stalker, black and white, and 3,5 hours long, of which 2 hours would be reseved for Leto and Siona's Desert Funtime with a full half hour of nothing but Leto staring wistfully into the desert. There's nothing anyone can say to change my mind

Wonder if they'll combine Messiah and Children like the miniseries did? That might be a bit much for a single movie though.

Start God Emperor with the Lord of the Rings montage of Smeagol rotting away and turning into Gollum only it's all about Leto's dick

 I like the Baron floating around lazily with whatever these balls do while his whole army holds their arms above their head edit: also his ship looks like an angry toad or beetle or something  Remember that still of Jessica in her bug carrying thing? Looks like really leaning into the whole ornithopter is based off a bug motif throughout the films. edit 2: talking about this

Yeah I can go to some nice ones, and for dune part 2 i probably am gonna. i just hate going to theaters as a general thing. I don't trade in giant purses, so food smuggling isn't an option and i'm not paying for theater food; but I usually do end up wanting a snack. If it's busy, I am old enough to be a loving grandma about disliking rowdy audiences for movies like this (it's fine for comedies or 'stupid' movies, but this is a movie where i would 100% want a stone quiet god drat room and I can ensure that more at home, so i mostly don't go to the movies. I'm also poor, and piracy is cheaper than tickets

In the right circumstances it can elevate the material to impossible heights, and in others it can spoil the vibe. Seeing Fury Road opening night in a full house is pretty much my movie theater moment to beat, everyone was laughing and gasping in exhaustion and it fully loving worked. But I'm glad I caught Melancholia and mother! in auditoriums that were nearly empty. If you're ever down in pdx drop me a PM. I work at multiple indie theaters there, might be able to save you ticket price or at least throw you some free corn. And fwiw I do not give a gently caress what food you bring in with you.

I let people bring in drat near anything. Occasionally that will bite me in the rear end because someone will be eating chinese buffet, stinking up the theater and causing smell or noise complaints, and then they'll just leave the trash everywhere because it's ingrained into the minds of many americans that when they bought a ticket they also bought the temporary serfdom of the employees on site. But honestly, that's such a minority, audiences in this town loving rule and consistently turn up to support indie cinema even in the hardest of times. So many people here work in service that they really do seem to understand our plight, and I am grateful, and I love them!

I remember seeing No Country for Old Men in the theatre and after Tommy Lee Jones’ final monologue there was a beat of silence and then some wag yelled “what the gently caress??” Lmao I don’t think the movie deserved that (it is a stone cold classic) but it was still pretty entertaining

I think I was the only person laughing at the showing I went to, but I don't regret it. Also do you remember the shot where they show the schematic of the title spaceship on a monitor in the background while Michael Fassbender is in the foreground? That's before even showing the actual ship itself, so in the context of the scene it just looks like they're showing a crude drawing of a penis for no clear reason. I know I saw that in the theatrical version, but I think they removed it and almost all the other shots that clearly show the spaceship (and how much it looks like a cartoon cock and balls) from the home video version, which I only watched to find and screenshot those exact shots for obvious reasons. It's honestly kind of insane how obscure the fact is that the Covenant looks like a massive space dong.

Now this otoh is a thing that can really get theater workers in trouble, just letting you know. Around these parts the Liquor Commission is extremely aggro. Same would apply to taking outside booze into bars, it can get you blacklisted but it can also gently caress over someone's license.

Denis might have clout with the studios now, but he’s not gonna show overt references to a Jihad against white people in an American movie. The pure Dune some people want will never come out of an American studio in 2023.

It goes deeper than usage of the word Jihad. It extends to the casting, score, the rest of the conlag. I agree it would be borderline malfeasance for the studio to put “jihad” in there, but it’s much harder to justify all the other issues that wouldn’t cause a stir with anyone.

When I saw Silence of the Lambs in the theater during the "I would gently caress me" scene when he tucks his dick and dances the theater was stone cold silent and some like 13 year old girl broke the silence when she said loudly "Where is it?" And the whole theater erupted in laughter, it snapped the trance of everyone in the theater with perfect comic timing.

I saw 300 on opening weekend at some gigantic theater in midtown Manhattan. At some point in the movie, two guys in the very front stood up and started punching each other very aggressively in the face, seemingly over a girl that they were feuding over, who happened to be sitting in between them. I think most of the audience was drunk but the entire crowd started whooping and hollering and was absolutely primed by the movie for what became a pretty cool welterweight fight. People were shouting "kill him!!!!" and stuff, it was wild.

Ha one last one I saw Jackass in a packed college town theater and someone lost control of a beer bottle and it loudly rolled all the way down the theater making a huge amount of noise the whole way down until it reached the wall at the bottom where it exploded and everyone laughed. That was an absolute blast to watch in the theater with a bunch of drunk underage college kids
