Your obsession with mrswdk is really sad.

Splitting the book into two movies was a good idea. There's simply too much there for one movie; but let's hope the second movie actually happens and we're not left hanging with an unfinished product.

The movies would all be finished like when the main actor dies, then they patch something together with some footage they got, mixed in with new parts made by filming the back of other much less talented actors.

At least there's new Top Boy out soon in the meantime.
We know that's not a movie about you.

Initially I thought they should have placed it in contemporary times, though I suppose it would be a little unbelievable to have a Puerto Rican street gang on the West Side of Manhattan in 2021. (Thanks, Giuliani!)

saxitoxin wrote:I saw Dune II ... thoughts follow with spoilers (not sure how you spoil a 60 year-old story but whatever) ...(1) WOW ... absolutely epic. That said, I don't understand how anyone who hasn't read the book or books would find it entertaining as it would be difficult to follow if you had not, I think, particularly with all the psychedelic flash-forwards.
(2) Christopher Walken did a good job as the Padishah Emperor in the sense that everything Walken does is good. However, I sort-of feel like this wasn't a role that only he could play and there were probably other actors who may have done an as-good or better job.
(3) A subtle moment of wokeness: We never have an appearance of Baron Harkonnen's gay sex slaves. (They can't have a homosexual be a villain, I'm assuming.) On the other hand, I was expecting they would cut out the concept of the forced marriage of the Princess Irulan to Paul Atreides but they didn't.
(4) The costuming didn't hit it out of the park like it did in the first film. The baroque elements were gone and it became a little sci-fi'ish. Princess Irulan was dressed like Lady Gaga in her prime.
(5) The music was as-good or better than in the first film.
I'll keep political observations for the Israel thread.

What do we think of this one? I have mixed feelings... this feels a bit like sacred ground they are re-booting but it's also been 30-40 years so maybe enough time passed it's worth trying idk. Probs wouldn't go to a theater but am curious to watch at home down the line.
