Obligatory:
Prime Virginia Madsen as Princess Irulan means it's an instant win for me.
One of the most disappointing casting choices in the latest Dune adaptation, other than Zendaya, was Florence Pugh as Irulan.

For me what took me out of the movie was its horrific soundtrack comprised of screaming banshees. Who thought that was a good idea? Every fucking 5 minutes, another screaming choir of banshees to wreck ones ears. It reminded me how a bad soundtrack can make even a good movie hard to sit through.

Wow. To each their own I guess. It’s hard for me to imagine a better soundtrack. One of my favorite of all time and a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned. Flows perfectly with the movie. Zimmer never misses.

Why so much violence?

That movie is such a treasure. It can be taken in two COMPLETELY different ways. A perfect example of how to send a message without virtue signaling that message.

So Dune 2 is done and ready but they’re not gonna release it in November because??? Why? Just to be in solidarity with the strike?
That’s dumb. Maybe change the name to Dumb 2 instead of Dune 2
And what if the strike ends next week? What if it ends tomorrow? Would they keep the November release?

Orin:vLegend of Starchaser for the young folk. Wacky 3D but 2D cartoon from the 80's.

Things like this are why I've grown to respect Zendaya. I've seen old sci-fi concept art that has reminded me of her outfit and it's cool that she decided to go for this look when no one else would dare to.

I'm not a fan of hers by any means, but I think it looks cool!
Very excited for Dune Pt II. Dune Pt I is easily the best sci-fi movie of the 2020s so far. Prove me wrong.

Usually when someone wears an unconventional outfit like that to the red carpet, they take them into wardrobe right after to change into a different one.
It’s mainly about getting the photos and footage. Once the person is inside there’s no need to wear it, especially if it’s a movie and not an award show.

If there is a recent sci fi story you like, then Dune was probably one of the inspiration. A quick look got me this article from the Guardian.

So there’s this guy, right? And the guy is on the sand planet, right? And the sand is like magic so everyone wants it, right? So the dude just straight up does a 360 no scope and rides the cool giant worm like a fucking horse, man.
Also genocides and stuff.

Guy starts a holy war, 61 billion people die. His son turns into a giant worm, rules for 3500 years.
Also, women that brainwash men using sex. Also, Miles Teg.

I've been reading Dune Messiah for the first time and to add to the weirdness
Dune Messiah Spoilers
That's certainly something
Love the weirdness though
Dune Messiah Spoilers
A romance between Ilia and Zombie Duncan Idaho

The 60's produced some of the most wacky sci-fi and fantasy. Before Star Wars and LOTR really nailed down those genres into ossified tropes there was a TON of experimentation and creativity.
Just imagine an Elric series really leaning into the weirdness and drug culture it came from. Or the bizarre elements Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were writing about that wasn't just transplanted human cultures into a space war setting.

Oh I'm loving the weirdness of the Dune books so far
Also I recently got the all the Elric books by Micheal Moorcock. I'll be reading those either this year or next year
