Dune thread

you see this coming towards you

What do you realistically do, lads?
They told you this would be a simple job, just knock a few natives' heads with a baton and keep order. Now they got these fuckin' things.

BWAAAAAAAAAA

you shouldn't run from them, you should run towards them and try to survive in the gap between two of them

I immediately use my Benny Jazzerit Prana Bindhu Zensunni technique to start jacking off

how do they displace so much sand so quickly and easily...?

theyre big guys

What do you realistically do

I'd listen to what they had to say. And that's what no one did.

Damn, that Lynch score really was kino.

Having recently read the book, this music actually fits the scene better. Because in the original book it's meant to be heroic and satisfying when Paul defeats the Emperor, like the objective "Good Guys" triumphing over the "Evil Empire". It's only in the sequel that it becomes more ambiguous and dark.
But the movie, working with the knowledge of all the sequels, in hindsight makes these movies more in-like with the tone of the later books.

You're right about that. But that sinister darkness dosen't really start to become apparent until Dune Messiah. Then it goes full darkness halfway through Children of Dune. It was also important to know that Paul and Chani's first son was killed.

I will give Villenueve credit for not pussying out on the darker aspects, at least thus far. It would be EXTREMELY easy and expected to make Paul the obvious good guy saving the poor dindu nuffin sand people culture but instead he went out of his way to show him as being ruthless, cold and ambitious, even more so than in the book. For a super-mainstream big-budget blockbuster this is very unusual.
Messiah is the only mainstream movie I am genuinely excited for, because of this.

shoot the rockets into the sand and shid myself, just like in this garbage flick

What do you realistically do, lads?

I wouldn't do a thing, I would listen to what they had to say and that is what no one did.

His "subversion" take was too on the nose which is Dunc 2's main problem. No subtlety or room for interpretation at all which is why nobody talks about Dunc 2. It's still better than Part 1 though.

I don't think it was too on-the-nose. Everyone I watched the movie with fucking loved Paul even by the end and thought he dindu nuffin wrong. They 100% bought into his charisma.

What do you realistically do, lads?

get vored

Nope, not getting out of this chair.

Lay down suppressive fire with the incinerator units and fall back by squads to the APC.

that is such a terrible shot

run directly to the left or right

I think Villeneuve was insecure about being compared with Lynch so he intentionally avoided using any of the same shots even when they would have been useful for the story, and generally the sandworms are barely in either film.

Messiah should be pretty easy to make into a movie. It's a small novel, and has a relatively simple story compared to Dune. The Sci-fi Channel miniseries demonstrates that.

Since they can't use shields in the desert because of worms, why don't the fremen just use ak47s?

They have maula pistols in the book. Something like a firearm. But the Fremen are such good fighters, that all they really need is a knife.

No one cares about the Dune movies. It was a complete bust a pop culture phenomenon.
The repulsive chick didn't help.

Paul was never the bad guy. Never even a little bit.

i look like this but would never act that way

>you see this coming towards you

turn off tv.
time for a walk.

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

Paul was fine. It was more Jessica that was too in the nose with her "subversive" persona and Stilgar with his "true believer" persona. No subtlety or room for interpretation with either one at all.

Holy shit, that looks bad. I didn't watch the movies, but that's really fucking bad.

Even in the 21st century, you gotta use your imagination a bit when watching film.

I watched the whole scene on youtube just now, including some of the fighting, and it's unfathomable how bad modern filmmaking is. I'm actually struggling to find the words to describe it.

Even if you survive da worm you're still gonna die to either the elements or get executed for failing the emperor
Might as well commit seppuku

haha oh nooooo please don't suck my dick ahaha

You're both completely wrong about that and you should reread the original book. It's extremely dark and Paul explicitly says "oh no I'm trying to escape this fate that dooms everything but I probably can't" and then he in fact cannot, it is very overt that the rebellion is the darkness not the speck of light, that the tragedy is more than just what plays out in the end of that book, that he has risen to his fate and brought about the doom he and his mother sensed and feared
Remember his first psychic trance thing?

...how big is your fucking dick

they emit vibrations that turn sand into semi liquid state

shut up cass
how did you manage to be worse than the retarded lesbian with such a good companion character premise?
even in your epilogue

The ground around them is constantly churning and the air is thick with eruptions of sand, it won't work. You wouldn't be able to move anywhere once you get close, won't be able to see where you're going, you'll likely lose your balance, fall and be flattened.

Thumbnail make's it look like they are getting attacked by a gigantic picrel

That's right. It's called liquifaction. Sandwords are big, and the move very quickly. Think of the sand in their path becoming like dry quicksand.
