BR2049 is too short change my mind

2000 years to be precise.

I don’t need fictional terrible rich people to know that real rich people are terrible.

It’s really not better, either. A bunch of semi-finished scenes, with no music score or atmospherics is just dumped into the rest of the theatrical version, and you can feel the difference. You can hear the echo of the soundstage (and practically hear grips farting, etc.) in the extra scenes. Also, the “old man…

“Amazon-Walmart-Alibaba International Groups spent $2,000,000,000 on the rights to Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune for a lavish subliminal miniseries. Cast and production details will be available only to Probe adopters for 3 ounces of monetary gel. This article brought to you by Finman Capital Group. Hail…

There is no director’s cut of the 1984 movie. There’s an anti-director’s cut that Lynch had nothing to do with and objected so strongly to that he had his name removed from the credits.

I always remember a conversation I had with someone back in 2010, where they insisted that Facebook was not long for this world. Not only that, but they were sure it would be supplanted by an upcoming competitor (I think it was Diaspora), that promised to be like Facebook but without all the privacy and security…

I don’t think superhero movies are going to flop any time soon. They fit into “adventure movie” genre, which is a huge genre.

She’s just asking questions! Like are there Bolsheviks growing in her Crocs?  Do we really know the moon isn’t made of cheese?  If Pizzagate’s a hoax, how come she still didn’t get her pizza delivered?

Yeah, I recently re-read the novel, and the thing that struck me is that Jessica is the true protagonist of the story. Where Paul is swept along by concerns of destiny and prophecy, Jessica is constantly evaluating the ever-shifting landscape, making carefully-considered decisions, and then acting on them. Sometimes…

Thanks, Ignatiy.

The Harkonnen were cartoonishly evil in the source material, too. Villeneuve just removed the “cartoonish” part. Everything else that you describe is still intact, and can still be used for the sequel. I don’t see why the connection that you mention wouldn’t be usable.

I dunno, making them generic one-dimensional Darth-Vader-y villians seems too boring, they’re much more interesting as depicted in the book where they’re sort of a negative mirror reflection of House Atreides — amoral instead of ethical and honorable, tacky and base instead of sophisticated, self-indulgent instead of…

The film clearly wants to remove all the campiness that was present in the portrayal of the Harkonnens in the previous adaptations and portray them as a deadly serious threat. Both the Lynch and the TV adaptation made them too much of a joke, and Villeneuve is taking an effort to avoid that, along with the omnipresent…

If airline pilots needed to smoke crack. And if crack, rather than significantly reducing your lifespan, increased it.

I think Protestants and Catholics have merged back by this point — I think that is what is implied by “Orange Catholicism” which seems like an oxymoron given that orange is the color of Northern Irish Protestants. The Fremen are Zensunni, which is a mixture of Zen Buddhism and Sunni Islam, which is why they tend to…

so many ringers in this cast, I'm not surprised there isn't time to mention them all, but man this is Rebecca Ferguson's film from start to finish imo. absolutely mesmerising performance, which is only fitting given Jessica is the most interesting character in the book too 

Ignatiy,
