Yeah I’m wondering if a big Fall virus surge will force movies to be delayed again until next year. There’s like 3 Marvel movies coming out before Xmas.

Who gives a shit about Marvel movies lol, I hope they lose hundreds of millions.  

[Scaramouche]

I can't remember the last time I was this excited to see a movie at the cinema.

my point was big films like Dune and 007 could be forced back on streaming, I think Dune is supposed to be on HBO like 30 days after the theater?

Yeah, something like that, a 30/40 day window before it's off to streaming.

Yeah DUNE and The Green Knight are my planned return to cinemas. Those are the only 2 i wanna see BIG and LOUD.

I'm worried Dune is going to be a boring disaster, I can feel it in my bones.

                                                      i haven't seen the lynch dune and don't know anything about the story

                                                           but i think i'll watch this and as colunga said the green knight

                                                                                 both look grand and stylized

                                                                                      just wanna get lost in a story on the big screen

                                                        wish it was flickering onto the screen from film stock with the noise you can hear when its quiet from the reel

i think Prometheus was the last movie i saw in the theater. and well, we know how that turned out. 

might've seen Force Awakens in the theater but can't recall really. 

i'll go see Dune in the theater if possible.  but on a monday at noon or something.

Yes, and read about the motivation, the sources, whys and wherefores of making the fan edit.

Villeneuve's has had a great track record (IMO) doesn't mean this couldn't fall flat, but I think he'll nail Dune. I came to Arrival late, and have been kicking myself for missing it at the cinema. He's got a great eye for Sci-Fi.

My expectations were low for Prometheus, but not low enough. Jesus, that was a terrible experience.

man, visually, this looks beyond awesome, i really dig this art direction

what i don't understand is why all recent actors speak under their breath, showing so little passion for life and expression? is it considered "barbaric" to be present and evocative nowadays?

[ignatius]

yeah.. visually great and epic.  i like the tones and stuff. looking forward to seeing it in the theater hopefully

I don’t think I’ve ever seen another film that did what Lynch did with Dune & their thoughts, having them whisper. That was genius.

[Scaramouche]

Okay, that It looks gorgeous. Found the accompanying music a little annoying, I hope it's just in the trailer.

[BaggerMcGuirk]

These days, I feel like I have to try and see through all the bullshit trailer-isms to figure out if the movie will be good, and that it seems to be getting worse.  In a perfect world, they would just release a 3-4 minute unedited clip of the movie, and let people make up their own mind to see it.   There may very well be a good movie under all that garbage editing/voiceover, but this trailer doesn't do the movie any favors at all.

I think if you liked his take on Blade Runner, you’ll like his take on Dune. There is also the tie-in series about the Bene Gesserit order coming:

i love Lynch's Dune, and whispering thoughts is great way of expression. i was talking about voicing dialogue in general. maybe they are trying to construct this closeness (intimacy of some sort) with the viewer, and i understand that, but it actually evokes a different feeling of characters. like they are too timid to speak, and since all these great stories involve to-be prophets, "chosen" people, or whatever (a rather tiring trope itself tbh), they end up like pampered privileged rich kids who have their life laid out for them, and has little to do with overcoming life or one's own shortcomings. idk, i might be touching on a generational thing which has little to do with artistic choice in movie direction though...
