The second half of the story is also a lot weirder and more dense than the first half. We don't even meet Feyd or Alia in this one.
I think they made a third one where he has a kid or somethingCrocodile Dundee 2 is a lot weirder and denser than Crocodile Dundee, they should have never made that, I was very confused and I fell asleep
Doesn’t surprise me. It’s a Denis Villanueve movie.Friend of mine saw Dune yesterday, he said it was good but also kind of generic.
The newer one is a piece of shit, worse than Hollow Man.Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Kreuger have nothing on the mass murderer I watched last night, 1933s The Invisible Man. I think it was 130 or so victims. Still a very good film much better than the recent movie.
I wouldn't go that far.The newer one is a piece of shit, worse than Hollow Man.
You really have to be hoping enough people are going to jump on the bandwagon and pretend they like this movie just to be one of the cool kids even if they don't. And hey, maybe that will happen.The second half of the story is also a lot weirder and more dense than the first half. We don't even meet Feyd or Alia in this one.
Maybe not but the new Invisible Man is just awful. First of all no-one would be that obsessed with that woman, second that suit is dumb as fuck looking and it's almost all telegraphed jump scares.I wouldn't go that far.
The only way the studio would agree to let him make the movie was to release the first and see how it did. He requested to film both parts back to back and WB/Legacy wouldn't put up the money, so he bet on the first movie making enough to let him make the second.You really have to be hoping enough people are going to jump on the bandwagon and pretend they like this movie just to be one of the cool kids even if they don't.

If Villeneuve's Dune was a tv series, that would be cool. But it's a pretty fucking stupid idea to make a movie that is 90% act 1 with a little bit of act 2, and zero third act. That is an inherently unsatisfying way of presenting a story. It would be one thing if they filmed both back-to-back and were releasing them 6 months apart. But people are going to have to wait years to watch the rest of act 2 and any of act 3. If the rest even gets made at all. If it doesn't, what a hilarious boondoggle this will have all been. Lynch's movie has flaws, but at least he finished it.
Well if they only make the second movie, that covers the first novel and is a pretty complete story. So if we get Messiah, great. If we don't, that sucks, but it's not a disaster like not getting Part II would be.The question is since the first one is part of a possible trilogy and an incomplete story by itself in 2 or 3 years will people who aren't aren't fans of the books care enough to go see the second. Or will it be a situation where the first wasn't a complete satisfying story so people just kind of forget about it. It's not an established franchise like SW or MCU etc. where people just automatically go see whatever comes out in those franchises because they're familiar.
Lynch's Dune is so bad not even he liked it, but Toto definitely nailed the soundtrack.Sometimes, when I'm a few liters in, I'll put in my headphones and replay the scene where Paul rides the sandworm like ten times. David Lynch version of course.
Can it be said that Lynch's Dune is great? I don't think great is the right word to describe it.
I hadn't seen LunchDune in about 15 years and we watched most of it tonite.Lynch's Dune is so bad not even he liked it, but Toto definitely nailed the soundtrack.
There are several extended cuts out there with some scenes that make it closer to the book, but there's no salvaging the overall trainwreck.I hadn't seen LunchDune in about 15 years and we watched most of it tonite.
Fuck I had forgotten how much it sucked. The first time I saw it I was maybe 12, and I hadn't read any of the Dune books, so I thought it was entertaining.
After reading the book it's absolutely laughable. I wouldn't say it is "flawed" so much as it seems Lynch heard a couple of people in a library talking about Dune in 1981, asked them what they were talking about in general broad strokes, and then decided fuck, it - "Big worms? Benny Jesuits? I just got done talking to Sting so I gotta put him in plastic panties in there somewhere..."
And then he made LynchDune. Incidentally I honestly never even realized he put himself in the movie until tonite, lol.
Seriously the only real things that are any good in LynchDune are PatStew as Gurney, Dean Stockwell as Yueh, and the main worm prop they used.
Shit man, I remember reading the book for the first time and thinking "Wait, when are they gonna get to the weirding devices where they say mmmmuad'dib and blow up the rock?"
By generic he meant sterile, lacking personality, product of of an average imagination (which the book definitely isn't) On the topic of the Lynch one; while it may be a trainwreck, it's also the most Warhammer 40,000 thing on film:I can see how it could seem a little generic when lesser talents have been ripping it off like crazy for the past half century. Something similar happened with John Carter. It's like, yeah, of course it feels familiar. Because Hollywood and the literary world are filled with hacks and thieves, and they've been at this carcass for longer than we've been alive.

I know I might get shit for this, but I don't care. I don't think I liked any of his movies except for the Elephant man. And I havent seen THAT in about 20 years or so, so it could be the same thing. And say what you will Twin Peaks was meh. I didn't watch it as a kid because I had no interest, but then the wife and I watched through it on Netflix a few years ago and while I will say I was interested in what Cooper was finding out, Bob, the Black Lodge, etc, after they revealed who Bob was and that he was the one that possessed Lauras dad, the show and it's characters had NOwhere to go. I seriously found myself fastforwarding any scenes that didn't have Cooper in it.
Don't even get me started on the continuation series from a couple years ago. I couldn't even finish it.
