My favorite thing nerds do is watch a 2min trailer and then immediately say something sucks.

A lot of Villeneuve’s choices are motivated by whether or not some bit of information is important to the average viewer’s experience and understanding of the story. The nature and history of mentats wasn’t part of that. You and I have read the book, so we know that Thufir and Piter are mentats. Everyone else…

I think that it was a conscious decision to leave out the explanation for the Mentats. The Lynch version overwhelmed audiences with exotic concepts, completely losing the audience with the terminology. Villeneuve took the show-not-tell approach, and had the audience come to their own conclusions about anything that…

It is remarkable how good a job they did referencing that stuff just enough for fans to know it was there, but still telling the story coherently enough for people who had not read the book to follow it.

Sorry that crazyone0413 thought that this wasn’t the Doom remake. It actually takes a brain to enjoy 2021 Dune.

The Hobbit was three fucking movies. It only needed to be one. That’s the cause of the Hobbits failure. LOTR, sure, it was a whole series of books that were individually hundreds of pages. The Hobbit? One short book.

Hawkeye is easily the most relatable of all the Avengers. He know, deep in his gut, how ridiculous it is that he is in the group, and yet, without him, they would be lost (this is especially the case in Age of Ultron). Renner does a great job of selling the depth of his character - and makes us believe that Hawkeye…

Hawkeye was the most human of the Avengers and it helped that he had a family. It kept things real. Also I really like Jeremy Renner and I’m looking forward to the show.

No. According to the article it’s ambitious and well made with decent momentum, but is weighed down by having to fit itself into an established canon instead of being allowed to tell its own story. Everything about it that is original works, but all that is held back from coming together into a great movie by the…

I feel bad for all the crew that just tore down those dunes only to have to build them back up again so they can get this movie out in 2 years.

OJ? Well if there isn’t a better spokesperson for sticking and jabbing with a pointy thing I don’t know who is.

Huh, with all this extra time that Wakanda Forever has now, maybe they can get around to recasting Shuri and reshooting all of Letitia Wright’s scenes. 

Disgusting. Esp since we now know that Chadwick was fighting cancer during the first movie’s filming and immunocompriised. Had he lived for part 2 he'd be so vulnerable b/c of anti vax fools like her.

Man I ma just happy to see these epic movies that keep building on the MCU from each movie before with something new and exciting. Back in the day all I got were Superman and Batman movie sequels that got dumber and dumber. To think Marvel has put out over what 23+ films that are all linked and are remarkable all well…

I just don’t get it. Why does Chapelle even need to fixate on this? Who asked him?

It was not a good character.

I imagine that the vast majority of people who went to see the LotR movies had never read the books, or had even heard of Tolkien. A movie always has infinitely more reach than a novel.

I will pray for you. I will pray that this virus does as much damage to you as you wished it did to others and that you suffer immense pain for all the times you have targeted the most vulnerable among us. I don’t want to hear a word from anyone on the board about me being cruel. No I am showing the same mercy to…

Note to any and all black people in the public eye: When Fox News & The GOP come to your defense and try & use you as an example of how all black folks need to think you have officially fucked up. You do understand this right? As they say in politics When you’re explaining, you’re losing. The sad and fucking…

The fact that Hawkeye wasn’t in Infinity Wars means that Marvel knew that Hawkeye would easily beat Thanos, and there would be no need for a second movie to milk the cash cow.
