Yeah, when they sit at the base of the tree, are they mouse-sized or human-sized?

I love the argument that there are too many adaptations these days, like adapting other work to film is something that was just invented 20 years ago or something, not the way Hollywood has worked since day 1.

Nah, you’re wrong, friend. I saw it opening day and ‘Part One’ was in the opening credits. Go ride sand.

that’s like the meanest thing you can say about someone’s writing haha. (i’m gonna assume that english is their first and only language).

Ehh, I wasn’t expecting an all-time great Coens Coen movie with this one, it always looked on the “slight” side but there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll gladly take another Coen crime comedy with dumb, bumbling criminals, this time with gay women as the main characters. Geraldine Viswanathan deserves to break out…

Riding sand is really difficult to do because it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

In conclusion, Dune is a land of contrasts.

The consistent failure to hyphenate Feyd-Rautha bothers me more than it probably should.

...finally gets to show off how he mastered riding the sand...

You are wrong. It was Part One from the beginning. People just didn’t pay attention.

Sadly Pugh fares worst out of this quartet since her part is small and the character ends up being just a forgettable plot convenience.

maybe 15 years ago.

And the fremen were the original colonizers!

Yeah it’s literally about a colonized planet.

“when the story is clearly borrowing from myths and folklore from a particular part of the world, perhaps the casting could have been more diverse.”

“Most audience members were surprised by the ending, which set up a continuation of the story.”

after arrival, blade runner and dune pt1 there was little doubt pt2 would be good

“Greenbook" won an Oscar 5 years ago. People still like pat answers and comfortable stereotypes. I think its best to think of it as just a little hyperbole.

Except that it isn’t directly and explicitly “racist stereotypes.” The book he writes is meant to be a half serious, half parody of Boys in Hood, Menace to Society, Precious, etc, etc, to make a point that white people both on the left and the right only see and value black folks as poor and “struggling in da hood,”…

I would say the character work is a strength of the movie. It’s not JUST a satire - it’s also telling different stories about the Black experience through the larger cast. I very much appreciated taking the time to let these characters breathe and be. To me, it’s an A-. The ending doesn’t quite work, but I can’t…
