Dune

[woops]

i tried reading the first dune novel it was total crap comparable to dan brown level of writing

 

[luka]

i dont remember it being crap but then again i enjoyed dan brown

 

[woops]

it was full of stuff like "he eyed his imminent conquest. he would no doubt be extremely submissive, slender and he licked his lips in anticipation." i'd rather read about attractive people with stuff

Dune is awesome, you uncultured rube!

 

[...]

Are we about to see a collective pivot to Lynch's Dune being an underappreciated masterpiece?

I don't know why Arrow are wasting time with this trash when they could be giving the same treatment to Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires.

(OK, admittedly it's more of an ideas book than a style book.)

 

[luka]

its not even an ideas book exactly though is it. not in the sense people usually use that term

its more world-building.... as far as i remember it anyway, i read it when i was 12. but i liked it a lot.

Sweet Thing director Alexandre Rockwell: ‘Weinstein was eating hot dogs like sushi, while a student rubbed oil on his lemon-sized boils’

After winning Sundance in 1992, the director’s career stalled, thanks in part, he says, to Harvey Weinstein. It was making films with his family that saved him

Every time I see this thread active I go "Oh woh, it's out" and then I look it up and it isn't out yet. This has happened 3 or 4 times now I reckon.

I'm pretty excited for it, I'm not gonna kid, I am a sucker for gorgeous graphics, epic Lawrence of Arabia type shots

I feel a bit ambivalent about Villeneuve, despite really enjoying "Sicario" (in particular), "Enemy", "Blade Runner 2049" etc. (I really didn't like "Prisoners", which Reddit routinely drools over.)

They're beautifully shot/designed/soundtracked films but also somehow strangely empty.

Saying that I am definitely going to see this on the biggest screen possible. Also I know nothing about 'Dune' so there's no chance of him trampling on my dreams.

I'm a long time lurker (very occasional poster) on reddit, it's the best non-dissensus forum in the world!

Rumours about the release of Villeneuve's Dune have been seeded on inhabited worlds throughout the known universe by the Bene Gesserit since time immemorial.

same, always with the disappointment although it’ll be obvious when it does drop

fuck paying to see it, vpn + torrent + free work internet should do it

It'll be an interesting test of HBO's copyright tech, Dune's primo pickings for the rip'n'seed demographic.
