For any of you that want to go back to the wild wild world of DOS https://www.retrogames.cz/play_504-DOS.php?language=EN
Spoiler Agree. I stopped reading 1/4 of the way into Children of Dune. Emperor Paul was extremely boring and uninteresting. His children were the same.
Spoiler I remember God Emperor ramping back up and being really interesting, but it's really strange being so far away from the story that started it all
Finally did this last night, found it on Amazon Prime. A little too much 70's In Search Of synthesizer music for me, but interesting to see an avant-garde weird genius' ambitious take on making the film. I imagine that if it had been made it would have been a bloated mess. Cool to see how the conceptual art influenced later sci-fi films, and funny to watch Jodo talk about how happy he was to see that Lynch's 1984 version sucked
Like the use of Pink Floyd Worms look impressive It's an uphill battle to make me forget these actors were Poe, Drax, Thanos, Khal Drogo, and Spiderman's squeeze. If Paul has a scene where he eats a peach, I'm gonna fucking lose it
It must be in Timothee Chalomet's contract that his hair has to be in that exact style, because he looks like that in every movie
Don't get me wrong, this movie looks dope. But Paul Atreides is the fucking man and he has an overgrown 14 year old's haircut
I don’t know that I’ve ever been more mind blown by a trailer. Villeneuve could make toast and I’d watch and that is not toast.
Isn't Paul a teenager when the novel starts? Been meaning to actually read the book for like a year now. Should probably get on that
part of me really digs the new body shields part of me nostalgias for the old ones curious on the new weirding modules
First yes. Don't think you necessarily need to read the rest. Gets really really weird and hard to follow and pretty boring at times.
So this thread got me into this story a few months ago ... my lazy ass started the audio book. Haven’t finished it, going to pick it back up soon.
worried about the casting for Paul. he just looks waifish to me, idk. I'm not worried about Villeneuve but something about Paul seems off to me. like, from what I can see MacLachlan and Chalamet are basically the same age when doing Paul but I guess decades of MacLachlan being the only Paul I've known have programmed me to only see him in that role.
I thought Chalamet was really good in a somewhat similar role in The King. I’m optimistic, plus I just trust Villeneuve.
