Re: Dune (Denis Villeneuve, 2021)

Dune is an excellent book. If I recall, it sits at the top of many "best of all time" sci-fi book lists. That is a bit high for me, and I would put quite a few other books above it, but the fact...

Prisoners definitely hit both Lisa and I really hard. So much so, she won't watch it again!

Everything you said about Dune in the above post: Hard disagree! ;)

It came up in the thread a few months ago, which had me doubting I would even see it, but I got over that eventually!

I think there is an argument with Potter that there was enough material and ground to cover to warrant two films. Mockingjay was a cash grab, full stop.

On your last point, I think some may not...

Mockingjay - Part of a larger three book series, but the last book/story arc was split into 2 films.

He's coming. Denis said the second film will focus quite a bit more on the Harkonnens, so I presume Feyd will play a fairly large role in that film.

Saw it at the theater this afternoon, and was blown away. Spectacular film. Maybe a full five boxes for a rating, but I am going to let it simmer for a day or two before I rate it.


Now then,...

Re: Dune (Denis Villeneuve, 2021)

I figured it would be a good idea to reread Dune before seeing the film, but as I move along through the book, I am wondering if it was a good idea. The book is a towering masterpiece of science...

Re: Dune (Denis Villeneuve, 2021)

Well, we are getting close, so I grabbed my copy of Dune (the book) last night, and dug in. I want to have the book fresh in my mind before I see this.

The movie isn't out yet. You are probably referring to a different version of Dune from the 80s, perhaps?

Re: Dune (Denis Villeneuve, 2021)

Just randomly ran across a tidbit that has apparently been known for a few months: this film will only cover the first half of the book. I understand the material is dense, and that Lynch had trouble...

Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works

I caught some of the news on the new film this weekend, so I fired up the 1984 version, which I hadn't seen in a few years. I have both the original theatrical cut, as well as the Alan Smithee...
