not watched dune but his remake of blade runner is one of the most boring films I've ever seen, like a music vid that lasts for three hours

Yeah, I found it very stylish but ultimately quite empty. Not a patch on the original.

not even stylish except in an aftershave advert way. quite vulgar stylistically.

I went to see Inception with my mother when it was released. She paid for the VIP seats at the back, with extra leg room. Within 30 seconds of the film starting when Leonardo pumpkin head is chatting to some Japanese guy I was thinking "this is shit, can we just leave?" but my mum had shelled out money so I sat and hated every second of what looked like a three hour perfume advert

worst film ever

wait till you see New World directed by Terry Malick.

I liked the Blade Runner sequel, not as much the original but thought it was fine and looked and sounded great.

that will never happen

I liked Sicario too, moreso than BR 2049.

 

[luka]

not heard of that one

Cartels meet an actress

I recently saw someone arguing for Sicario as some sort of continuation of Blood Meridian, Americans butchering their way around the US-Mexico border.

Isn't stylishness always to some extent vulgar?

Anyway, I agree with version about it looking and sounding good. But there wasn't much else going on.

 

[vimothy]

its up there with the green mile and AI as one of my most hated films

 

[Mr. Tea]

Has it led to a reappraisal of Lynch's version, do you think? I have a soft spot for it, despite it being pretty much unintelligible, just because it's so weird. Lynch was so embarrassed by it that it's credited to 'Alan Smithee' in some releases.

Can anyone recommend any books similar to and as good/nearly as good as 'Dune'?

I want to buy my mate a book and 'Dune' is one of the few novels he's into

 

[Corpsey]

Looks so visually dull ('gritty', sand joke lol)
Absolutely no sense of humour or joi de vivre
That terrible terrible hans zimmer music

I quite liked the first one in the cinema but I feel so little inclination to rewatch it and I think it's that joylessness

There's no sense of camaraderie between characters and wanting to spend time with them, as there is in LOTR and MACTFSOTW

one of the most boring cinema experiences I've had probably. and I went to the 4D version with moving seats and fog and water in your face and stuff
