the plot summaries of hunters of dune and sandworms of dune are hilarious… but that nullentropy thingy the tleilaxu master has was a chekov’s gun that hadn’t been fired… frank was totally going to do something like that wasn’t he?

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
that was a rough looking print though

i had forgotten the density of gags though, it's amazing they managed that through the whole film

i hope the director's cuts of Dune will be made and released in theaters. there was one specific scene of Feyd talking to the baron about the emperor where the dialogue was clearly adred and the rest of the scene is cut away from shots of him. every single scene is a visual feast, but (the studio I presume) more than fat was trimmed from the film

This is a silly post with little news value.

quote:

“I’m a strong believer that when it’s not in the movie, it’s dead,” he told Collider before “Dune: Part Two” opened in theaters. “Sometimes I remove shots and I say, ‘I cannot believe I’m cutting this out. I feel like a samurai opening my gut. It’s painful, so I cannot go back after that and create a Frankenstein and try to reanimate things that I killed. It’s too painful. When it’s dead, it’s dead, and it’s dead for a reason. But yes, it is a painful project, but it is my job. The movie prevails. I’m very severe in the editing room. I’m not thinking about my ego, I’m thinking about the movie. … I kill darlings, and it’s painful for me.”

There will be no extended versions.

it's a cold war era movie that makes a bunch of references to WWII and, like, 60s era american music, idk how timely you're going to get but you're looking at going back almost 40 years

yes, correct. cold war era movies hit better when they are watched while the cold war is in recent cultural memories. ww2 things are more relatable when the veterans are still alive and are your grandfather(s). 60s american music is what our parents liked, and so is what was played in the car. it seems like you got my point after all :shrug:

it helps when the things a show makes oblique reference to are things that are still around, even if it's just on nick at nite.

I finished season 2 of Barry. It's the right amount of silly and 30 minute episodes means there is very little filler. The writing isn't perfect but I'll give it a pass because it's not meant to be taken so seriously.

Saw mention of MANN & MACHINE, I'd never heard of it and for early nineties tv sci-fi that means it was unbelievably niche (or poo poo)

The full series is up on YT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgeGcX2U-sIF9zCdz_9Eg28Nlbp1GAtEu

The series was pulled from NBC's schedule after only four episodes. The remaining five were aired in a burnoff as summertime filler.
