I still need to see it in IMAX. I streamed it initially and was still blown away by it. Can't imagine how it'll look on screen.

[Derpy Hooves]

I streamed it

People who stream Dune are why those kinds of movies are likely to go away

[Akar]

I mean, I pay for HBOmax. If they don't want it streamed on HBOmax then don't release it on HBOmax. That's entirely their own fault.

Anyway, my ADHD makes it really hard for me to stay focused for the entire length of a movie without getting distracted or fidgeting or something a few times throughout. It can sometimes take me 30 minutes to watch a 20 minute video just because I keep getting distracted by other stuff or thinking of something I need to do or start talking to someone on discord or any number of other reasons. Watching it on a streaming service lets me go back and rewatch things I missed because I was distracted or just thought were cool enough to rewatch (the whole introduction of the Sardukar and all of the scenes where the Baron is hovering). Also having subtitles is very nice.

He says, despite the fact that Dune has already been green lit for a sequel...

The Sardukar blood ritual scene is the most 40k thing I have ever seen on TV.

[Akar]

40k took heavy inspiration from the Dune novels and I love it.

The throat singing, ugh. So good.

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

It felt good going back to the movie theater. Certain movies I can’t watch at home or at least when they’re first released anyhow.

The girl in Cuba was the cutest. A shame she was in the movie for so little time.

why was she even there?

has it become the kind of movie that directors have to give some actor at least 10 minutes or get kidnapped and fed to pigs? I think that happened in hong kong

[Akar]

Because every James Bond movie has had a hawt baeb

The Swissland King certainly enjoyed her short time in the movie . She was kind of cute too when she was in Knives Out, also with Daniel Craig. It was the last movie I saw literally right before everything got shut down last year.

She made a good Bond girl, even with a short appearance.

What’s next for Bond? Another reboot? Urgh. A nephew spin-off?.Meh, Should just end it with this. It was kind of dead to me when they rebooted it after my boy Brosnan got canned, and it’s definitely feels over to me now since Craig is gone.

[Akar]

I would be totally fine if they just stopped making them honestly.

[ggggtotalwarrior]

I never read Dune. Is the film even possible to understand without reading the book first?

[Flinn]

yes, it's a story about giant worms and people calling it "spice" what they should have called "drug", there's nothing really complex to understand, IMO

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Except the navigators of every space ship are needing this spice to make complex calculations for space travel. Without spice no space travelling. Wut?

[Flinn]

That's not different from amphetamine, honestly

Very much so.
