DV is a fraud. i do not understand why people praise this guy so much. he delivers bland movies that seem like they have style or ideas or other signs of quality. but they're all bland big budget retreads that stay on the right side of 'tasteful' often enough to give the illusion of actually being thoughtful. he does have the good sense to work with great cinematographers and production designers and other craftsman with actual talent.

LMAO at sci fi dorks trying to convince everyone this is a great film.

Call me crazy but I still appreciate David Lynch's Dune, although obviously it remains unfinished. I would have liked to see him get another crack at it.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5502502&forum_id=2#47482167)

the novel is famously not well written and herbert was just a druggy nerd into world-building. but i think it stands out for the complexity and creativity and executing a full narrative. he has more complete ideas in there than most people spit out during a sci fi career. i agree it's crazily overrated but there is enough there and so much is possible now that the filmmakers should not be let off the hook just because herbert couldn't really write.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5502502&forum_id=2#47482188)

admittedly, i think part of the appeal is that smarter than average young men get to realpolitik away the "chosen one" conceit and feel smart for seeing through the bullshit (let's call it the reddit impulse) while still enjoying a ton of the magic and mystique of the setting. it's still a great world, and as a result the solid "coming of age" hero's story that takes place within it is still very good, even if some of the reason people are so loud about it when they're 15 (cf. libertarianism) is dumb.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5502502&forum_id=2#47482194)

You can shit on the genre, ok fine. But saying Dune is above average sci fi is like saying Shakespeare is an above average Elizabethan playwright

this is a hill i'd die on: most blockbuster movies i've scene have far too goddamn many action scenes with little real payoff. if that's what i cared about, i'd play an actiony video game instead. at least you have control there, so you're not just bored watching nothing important happen. even DV's bladerunner had a bunch of action scenes that added nothing to the film. dune part 2 was better off doing more with fewer.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5502502&forum_id=2#47482137)

the opening scene and the scene where paul and chani work together to take out the harvester is great action, well done. the essentially fail to replicate that quality at any other point.

multiple people burst out laughing in the theater when they're preparing for the climactic final battle for control of the galactic civilization with a nuclear-powered sandworm attack with tens of thousands of fighters with lines drawn in the sand and rocks and sticks and shit. or when paul convinces the entire fremen society that he is the prophet by doing a john edward/tent revival mind-reading act with two guys. the brilliant minds who threw this shit into the movie failed to capitalize on making low-hanging fruit like riding the sandworms exciting or interesting.

there is nothing smart or tasteful or restrained about dune 2 (or the first one). they're movies made by a dumbass yeoman who people assume is thoughtful.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5502502&forum_id=2#47482169)

i'm still not convinced it needed to be an action-centric movie. again even if DV sucks (i'm agnostic on this), most directors would've fucked up making a giant final battle fitting for the scale. it's better as a character-driven movie with some action.

To tie this back to Dune: biggest reason people seem to be dunking on this movie in RW circles that because Hebert and Villeneuve seem to fully believe they’ve made a movie about the dangers of fascism. Unfortunately they haven’t. The made a movie where fascism is cool and obviously the correct choice for Arakkis. The truth is stronger than the artist’s interpretation of it.

Another example of this: Zendaya as Chani is obviously annoying. But she’s just wrong. In the end she leaves dejected while Paul ascends to the throne. Obviously the director is trying to paint her as the only sane one. Who cares. She’s wrong. Paul wins. The fremen win.

The only leftist art that is truly bad is the art that subverts reality in order to fit their narrative. Dune succeeds because the underlying story is true - regardless how the storytellers seethe about it.

But once again, this is why the current right is incapable of making good art, they just make shit that parrots what they believe.

Paul looks like a Jewish caricature. The Harkonnen are comically evil and a cartoonish mockery of both Imperial Rome and Nazi Germany. Paul seduces and defiles his own le 56% Meghan Markle, humiliates an incompetent goy emperor, and, ultimately, forcibly defiles the goy emperor's beautiful shiksa daughter.

He looks forward to genociding billions, fueled entirely by racial resentment and racial vengeance. He will not forgive, he will not forget.

Also I find the heavily drawn out backstory of Dune to be kind of tedious. I miss the days of movies that don’t spend half their runtime universe building.

It's unreasonable to expect that movies can include every single detail from a book. Instead, what DV excels at is creating models/miniatures/vibe that give you faithful small tastes that are representative of the larger whole. Masterful use of the medium and I'll watch anything he makes. I'm not really a fan of androgynous Timothee but I honestly do think he is well cast as Paul, you need someone who's a little weird.

it's such a consuela take to think these movies had bad actors.

Go read the books. Paul is not the figure either side thinks he is.

The Great Scattering and the Golden Path are so much more important than any of this minor squabbling.
