He hadn’t had enough pie yet.

OMG, I just looked up that cast and I had completely forgotten that Matt Keeslar played Feyd.

Yeah, he hardly looks younger than he did playing Agent Dale Cooper in the first season of Twin Peaks, but that was six years later.

I was thinking just that yesterday when the trailer was released how every young actor in the 80's looked much older than every young actor today.

Why assume the absence of Marvel films?

Lynch’s worms were in keeping with the original cover art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandworm_(Dune)

That’s one part of the story, perhaps the easy part. It skipped the oppressed and exploited peoples (both Fremen and Sardaukar), a desire to reshape an inhospitable planetary climate, the operation of a galactic collective company which may be more powerful than the government, the fact that the children of the rival f…

WORM!sign?

I haven’t commented on here since The Great Defection but I have to chime in on this.

haha yep, that is the very, very abridged version. The problem is 1. knowing and explaining why the land is valuable, as it is basically the entire point of everything, 2. understanding the dynamics of the emperor and the families and really how this universe works, 3. understanding who is “good” and who is “evil”, 4.…

That’s exactly it for me. Honestly it looks like Sicario? Sort of drab, desaturated military? No grandeur, no spectacle, no Big Vision. I’m bummed Villeneuve’s toolbox is so small; I was hoping at least for some OTT costumes. They’re aliens, for cryin’ out loud. The “PUT YOUR HAND IN THE BOX” scene is ... sedate. I lov…

So much of the styling back then definitely ages people up compared to modern takes.  It definitely kinda blew my mind that MacLaughlan was that young when he filmed Dune.

The art direction is the one aspect of this that bums me out so far. The cast, director, and all that are impeccable, but visually it looks like Lynch’s with all the fun leeched out. Same high-collared military uniforms, minus the giant Czar Nicholas fur-lined robes.

Chalamet at least looks like he could be 15. MacLaughlan was born looking “about 30".

Put them together and you get what Jodorowsky’s sandworms would’ve been.

What, so side-by-side-by-side comparison with the Sci-Fi Channel’s mini-series? William Hurt!! And . . . other people. 

Lynch’s worms remind me too much of the creatures from Tremors and Beetlejuice to ever be anything other than comical-looking at this point.

Lynch’s sandworms were big three pronged penises.
