Do you know what IME means?

I like the 80s Dune and its still worth watching even though it is a bit of a trainwreck. I saw the new Dune when it came out a couple years ago and it was OK but I left a little disappointed. I'll see the 2nd movie when it comes out.

Hollywood has been making rubbish for the last couple decades. I still have a little hope they will make Ringworld into a film but they are so stuck on sequals and even when they get a goldmine like the Star Wars universe they manage to ruin it.

Holy hell that looks good to me. I am hoping a twelve hour directors cut is released so i can see more of that gorgeous photography. More blowing sand and color. I dont like much but i loved dune 1. Whatever theyre doing with the camera just hyptonizes me.

Dune 2 looks even better. I cant remember the last time i cared that a movie was coming.

That lynch 80s thing… its cool, its whacked, but its not really dune. Reminds me of the dreams i have when i drink red wine at altitude.

I think its simply impossible to crank out a "true to the book" film of Dune. Unless you've read the books you just can't possbly understand the deep details. To me its just like a Porsche. Its looks great, drives fantasic, but once you open the hood you realize the engineers or author have crammed so much stuff in the in there it will take forever to understand. Its like someone said there's some free space so put some more nuts and bolts in there just because. I read Dune pretty annually as well as Starship Troopers just to get my Scify fix.-WW

its almost like your experience is not the defining one for reality.

funny, i always thought Porsches were pretty wrecking grade engineering at the end of the day.

I always thought that was a good thing about them.

Ok. Just watched 1/2 of dune 1 again last night with wife. Holy crap is that a good adaptation. I admit im a huge frank herbert fan but the movie isnt exactly dune its actually better in many ways.

Wife hasnt read the book so theres subtle stuff that she misses. That gorgeous red dress that jessica wears off the spaceship, chains on her face, its her official outfit as concubine. The scene when the housekeeper presents jessica with the knife:

The book explains that jessica was going to mumble something poetic to perpetuate the fiction of a new messiah, but she said ‘its a maker…’ (fremen name for the worm) and the housekeeper screams with excitement, was luck that she said words that the housekeeper took the right way. Jessica immediately realizes her fortube and rolls with it - seeking allies. In the movie its 5 seconds and easy to miss. So cool and so well done.

The story isnt about some entitled kid that needs to eat some pork chops, it is about the disaster of a myth’s rise to power.

Uh.. and that beautiful scene where the sardaukar receive their blessing in the rain, the blood sacrifices chained upside down to the pyramids and the throat singing? What was that? Not in book but totally Awesome.

Ill stop ranting but i think i cant empathize with people that dont like that movie. If you dont like it watch it more. Beatings will continue until morale improves.

I keep re-watching the trailer... 😉
