A third trailer for a movie I am excited about, clearly I should avoid it because it'll spoil too much!

On one hand yes, on the other - how else could I discover that particular hooks in a Dune trailer can literally bring me to tears?

Third trailers are always plot-heavy. Listen if you can avoid watching this then maybe you'd keep your hand in the box. I'm an animal apparently. I'm going frame by frame

ozmunkeh posted:That's quite the understatement. The books are basically unfilmable though. Much like Under the Skin, another weird unfilmable sci fi novel, it was better off being its own thing. The other books were never going to get adapted anyway and it still preserves the atmosphere and eeriness of the book while not being a slave to the source material. I love them all.

Between this and Furiosa, it's going to be a good year for running in the dust. And for good reason, it makes movement way cooler like cigarette smoke used to do.

Dune owns March now and Fall Guy's new date is so good we're worried some other film might still move into the slot and push us out

Quiet Place is in June and I don't see that moving. Another Bad Boys film is supposedly coming in June and that's another I don't see moving. Furiosa and the new Planet of the Apes are both releasing at the end of May, so those two will be fighting each other, but at least it gives Fall Guy a three week uncontested run. But yeah, at this point, I don't see anything moving up anymore.

Sir Kodiak posted:And, sure, there's nothing wrong with a show ignoring actual science to make something more fun. Star Wars would not be improved by realistic spaceships. But then Star Wars isn't a ponderous exploration of the philosophy of the physics of spaceship engines. The shallowness of Star Wars' sci-fi is a big part of why it's hard to write compelling stories for.

I remember in the 90s seeing online that an actual religion was being formed based on Star Wars and I always wondered about the turbo nerds who joined that and then watched Phantom Menace when their religion was blown to poo poo by midichlorians

No this wasn't that. It was newsgroups announcing a big new religion. Kind of like Goon Island it was destined to be a hilarious failure. Like I'm pretty sure it was the Special Editions that took the wind out of the sails. 95 was a wild time on the internet.

The MSJ posted:Prequel to Garland's Dredd. You can see a map at 0:41 showing the divided states. You have CA/TX, Minnesota and the rest of the northern west states, and Florida with the southern states up to (but not) Texas. Just ridiculous. The Great Lakes alliance would bail first chance they get.

I guess Texas has had a lot of people moving from California in recent years. Still an absurd pairing. That map seems pretty clueless about US regional cultures and politics in general. But eh, I’m gonna give him a chance.

It'll probably end with Offerman's President being publicly executed and everyone being sad because they made a difference but in a bad way. Now sit back down and accept your lot in life even as things get worse and worse every day.

I'm no American, but it doesn't seem all that unrealistic for California and Texas to team up. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? If they both have big beef with the feds, and the feds are clearly the bad guys in this film, then why not?

It's Garland so I'll at least give him a chance that there's probably an actual reason for it. Either way I guess I didn't expect it to be so straight forward civil war. Will still watch.

I expect it to be some lib politics bullshit, but I'm here for that cast and director. I like that Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons keep finding projects to work on together  edit: I didn't recognise Nick Offerman, thought it was Shea Whigham. And why does that highway at the beginning with the abandoned cars remind me of Zombieland? Carpet fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Dec 13, 2023 |
