Oh my god the direction of that scene is amazing. Denis is not fucking around.

Things get crazy in the later books. Probably why Denis' stopping after Messiah. Too hard to adapt to film.

I've read somewhere he indeed found that things are getting too metaphysical after Messiah.

Very nice!!!

[Goiter Sanchez]

that DUNE logo on the record sleeve is brilliant. Fantastic design

I really wish I liked the first movie. But then I see Willy Wonka's constipated face on that album cover...

[gnarlybog]

That vinyl design is super impressive, more so than the music... IMHO Hans is incapable of subtlety... 

Part two was amazing, if a bit exhausting. Pummels you with sound. Still trying to process it.

Truer words have never been spoken.

And he's also... pretty overrated.

i just rewatched the first Dune on Thursday, going to watch 2 today....i don't think Zimmer's general lack of subtlety is a bad thing for these fillms guys....did y'all have your eyes open during them?

https://screenmusings.org/movie/blu-ray/Dune/

don't get me wrong, i love me some subtlety and i'm not in love with Zimmer, but that bombast and heavy drama he often brings to films is very much warranted here in these films about space jesus, thousand year long bloodline breeding by space witches, about control of drugs made by giant worms that morph humans over centuries into spacetime-warping freaks. not a ton of subtlety needed here.... i'm sure other soundtrackers could've done some cool shit that would've been more interesting but Villeneuve chose him for a reason i'm quite sure. especially with the budget he surely spent on Zimmer (Zimmer's team, really...) he could've got anyone on the planet to soundtrack the films. he chose Zimmer for a reason. twice.

iirc BR2049 had some great soft/subtle layers and moments in it, but Zimmer didn't do that work all on his own
