I played the clip for my gf who knows nothing of Dune and now she's pretty excited. The version I've been seeing is almost exactly the same as the one already posted, except for the clips at the end. I have this cued to the one shot that's missing and it's loving amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12n5APZhf4U&t=394s It's a man moon-jumping down from a harvester. My guess is that it's the reunion of Gurney and Paul, which is one of the most emotional scenes from the book I'm dying to see on the big screen. I think instead of a Fremen ambush killing a few of Gurney's smugglers before Paul reveals himself, Gurney is jumping down to fight all of them solo. Not a MAJOR change but I guess they didn't want to show Fremen murdering his colleagues. Which, ultra spoiler, weren't they all just Sardaukar agents pretending to be smugglers to find and assassinate the prophet?

sebmojo posted:Naw there were a few of them, not the whole group Oh yeah you right dog. While I'm in here being a nerd already, I have one fantasy scene that's lacking from the books- it's an unfinished plot. If you read the prequels and consider them canon, Gurney has a very, very, extreme justification for hating the Harkonnens and Glosu Rabban in particular. In the books, Rabban's death isn't even described- Stilger just informs Paul. It's completely unceremonious. I'd kill for a scene where Gurney personally gets his hands on Rabban for payback. I don't care in which chapter! Make it happen Dennis.

It didn't even occur to me but there isn't a whisper about the actress on IMDB, but that could be that it doesn't usually log the names of children idk. If they're keeping that detail super secret I'm not really sure what big reveal I'm supposed to be expecting at the theater.

Speaking of Part 1, my gf and my buddy's gf are coming over soon to see it for the first time. Trust me when I say, they will be bathed, inundated with lore for a single question they have about the characters or plot. My services are so committed that their demands for me to shut up will be brushed off like dirt. Sand, if you will.

I guess it's time to dicklessly pontificate on how future-vision Alia kills the baron, if at all. Calling it now, his suspensor has a battery failure while he's catastrophically floating near the top of some stairs.

Oof, spoiler heavy of a review. I'm pissed that Thufir Hawat is written out. His decision to die in Paul's arms rather than kill him was a tremendous moment in the books. F you Dennis!

sebmojo posted:Good. Not being able to talk about a piece of art infantilises the discussion. I mean sure let people know first, but it's kind of insane this is an issue for a wildly famous 60 year old novel. Sorry, I'm trying to follow. (Really). I assume you mean it's good the reviews had spoilers, and not that a major character was erased. I'm perfectly with you that spoilers following the novel aren't a big deal (All 3 main Harkonnens are getting knifed), but it turns into a gray area when it's spoiling how the adaptation is choosing to greatly diverge from the plot. ie Thufir retired to a proverbial farm, Paul is going to kill the Baron, Alia is indeed just an adult vision etc.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:idk, Thufir's final act never really resonated with me "will this good guy kill the hero?" didn't exactly have me on the edge of my seat IDK I like the part that the Emperor deploys two assassins in a row- the first opting to die at Paul's feet and the other gettin' the ol Knife in Brain treatment. And Paul gets to stand there after like "You done with this??".

Jewmanji posted:Why? There's no downside to paying an actor a nice chunk of change for a day's work if that's going to get a bunch more people to the theater. I'm sure they want to do Messiah, but I don't think any casting decisions are made based off of that hope/assumption. I think what they're saying is, if the determination is to stop at book 1, there's no point in including Alia as a future vision at all. Just write her out entirely. The Baron's assassination is already being retconned. Hell, bring Thufir back Dennis, you dick. I believe the ATJ investment means there's a plan for a Messiah movie where she is actually present physically.

Jewmanji posted:Oh I see. Yeah that makes more sense. Of course by not including Alia that would make the entire pregnancy element which appears early in the first movie to be totally pointless. But I guess there's always gambles with this type of storytelling. Agreed. Paul's first son was pretty pointless in the original plot so maybe they could have both been Poochie'd out in one sentence.

One of the interesting parts of the prequels is that Mohiam asks the Baron for sperm and he rapes her as a gently caress you, and in retaliation she looks through her inventory of contained diseases and gives him the incurable one that turned him into a fat disgusting blob. Before that he was fit. Also now you know the fun story of how Lady Jessica was conceived.

Squashy Nipples posted:I've been super excited about the new movie, but now I found out that they completely eliminated Thufir from the new movie, going as far to edit out his parts. Yeah that part hurts my soul. It's perhaps a close second to the reunion of Gurney and Paul, which thank God wasn't erased. I mentioned earlier in the thread but it's a pivotal plot point that the Emperor sends two people in his retinue in a row to kill Paul, the first dying at his feet from loyalty and then the best fighter being knifed in the brain. It drives home a point that Shaddam is completely out of options to contain him. Plus it's an emotional moment with a crazy amount of time for payoff. Sucks that Dennis did us dirty.

Kart Barfunkel posted:What’s your take on Chapterhouse and Heretics? Hi! Heretics is around when the magic vagina technique is finally surmounted by Duncan using his nascent magic penis technique, which is long after the plot of the extended books turned into an endurance art exercise for me. Everything just became so freewheeling and loving weird. Reading them chronologically as they were written, I think they overused the trope of a hero being tortured and that giving them super powers. Norma Cenva, then Miles Teg respectively. I can't prove it and my brain is cheese but I think Teg was instrumental is helping to steal the no-ship Ithaca because he was basically superman at that point. Spoiler, Norma is the oracle the guild navigators communicate with to fold space. More to the point, I think in the later books, Gholas are overused to the point that plot deaths are completely meaningless and literally nobody is erased from the plot unless the authors want it. It's literally this Onion article. https://www.theonion.com/author-too-much-of-a-pussy-to-kill-off-characters-1819568693 Reading them all I was pretty let down that a Leto II ghola was around and I figured he'd gently caress poo poo up once he was awakened after loving forever and the end was a waste.

kalel posted:computer, play back last post Oh yeah I gotcha. I'll be a big man on the internet and clarify. I don't want to glorify rape (  ) but what I meant by interesting is that the victim had full control over her body and used the opportunity to send the aggressor a nice little present in the form of an incurable disease that made him physically loathsome. It kinda reminds me of those anti-rape barbed condoms but translated to a future fantasy world. It's why I didn't use such words as "good" or "funny" but interesting.If I'm digging a deeper hole here I'll take the loss. I know I'm tossing out Dune lore in the movie thread that'll never hit the big screen but if you suffer through all of the books, it adds different context to the lives and characters presented to the audience in the films.
