Fallout is one of those franchises, I think, where you can stay totally true to lore/canon and still make a highly compelling and entertaining movie or TV show that has broad appeal. They’ve stated that that’s exactly what they’re trying to do, and although we won’t know whether they nailed it for sure until April…

Exactly, this car looks like it was painted back in the day when cheap paint jobs and bondo over rust were more common than cutting out the metal and doing it right, then put away and not used for daily duty or exposed to salt, so the bad hasn’t come back through.  I bought a similar 2002 in about 2015, but I paid a…

I’m thinking that grille could be bigger.

Oh my God. What did they do to this poor car? The paint job looks as if they sprayed it on from a can in someone's backyard. What kind of steering wheel is that? No, no, no. Nor for almost 10k. No.

Two things: 1) Theaters do not get “half” the money. The reason they charge you $20 for a small popcorn and soda is that theaters earn between 5 and 10% of ticket revenues. 2) The movie has been out for 6 days so far and has made close to half the $500M number you’re talking about, and has considerable buzz around it.…

BMW used to make such handsome cars.

Looks really nice from 20 feet. It needs some TLC to finish off what’s been done. I’d look for an original shift knob though.

It’s cool, but not CP cool.

Better Call Paul was right there!

I don’t either. You’d have to invent stuff to fill the empty space.

If “Messiah” is as big as the first two have been, the studio will hire SOMEBODY to make “Children” (if they can’t find enough money to convince Villaneuve). At that point, “God Emperor” depends entirely on Brett Ratner’s non-union Mexican Equivalent.

This is the big problem with all subscriptions and the info they share. I want to know how many people watched the first three episodes or finished the show within the first 10 days, How many lapsed/new users rejoined/joined to watch this etc.

As I pointed out before, the Fremen’s jihad would have to have a per-person kill rate of 20,000:1, assuming the Fremen took no significant casualties.

Hmmmm I’m pretty sure it’s Leto 2, in full worm godhood, who says he’s worse than Hitler. Because he was preborn and can literally remember all his ancestral memories.

At least, there won’t be any need to adapt God Emperor of Dune, given that five-hour-long rambling monologues from a giant worm with a human face who rules the universe already exists in the form of Donald Trump’s phone calls to Fox and Friends.

Yes. The way this article characterizes the ending is ridiculous.

Paul is choosing the least bad option. They didn’t really show a lot of other options except for his short speech about seeing the future and their enemies prevailing in so many of them.  He’s choosing the narrow way through that he saw.  I think they did a good job showing how reluctant he is and how he fights it,…

I don’t think he’s going to tone it down. Villaneuve’s main theme seems to be the danger of Messiahs, even more than Herbert, so a whole bunch of people have to die because of Paul. But I agree that making it less depressing than The Zone of Interest or All Quiet on the Western Front may prove to be a challenge.

Hmm I wonder if they will make a sequel to a movie that ends on a cliffhanger and earned its budget back in under a week of theatrical release.

In Dune Messiah, Paul is talking to Stilgar about history. He says something along the lines of “Genghis Khan killed four million people to build his empire. Hitler killed six million people. I killed sixty-one billion people. I am ten thousand times worse than Hitler. Hitler is nothing compared to me.”
