- Yesterday at 12:39:41 AMI love Villeneuve as a director but his aesthetic is just so, so reserved.
Where's my half-naked twink fight to the death at the finale? Feyd's supposed to be dressed in nothing but his booby-trapped underwear.

- Yesterday at 12:25:19 AMI'm starting to think that everything that appealed to me about Dune is what David Lynch turned it into. Stripped of the baroque aesthetic that gave it such a unique look in 1984, it's just so bland.
Maybe Villeneuve isn't my cup of tea.

Was somewhat homophobic, yes (and for some f**ked up reason wired his kids to lie detectors regularly). Still, he made a sci fi classic that inspired millions and spawned so many new worlds and stories. But that doesn't make him a super special prophet or too ahead of his time. Nor does he say anything in his books that hasn't been said a million times before by others. He just did it better and made it more impactful which is important in itself.

- Apr 10, 2024, 11:17:40 PMHis take is a bit much...
I love Dune 1 and 2, and anyone who is paying attention knows that it rightfully shows the dangers of a rising Messianic figure, just as the author intended. Frank Herbert through fiction showed an interesting take on how religion, strongman and wars are interconnected and cyclical. But to say that he didn't have some problematic views (and creative decisions... Duncan...) would be an understatement.

Glad I saw it there times in IMAX, 'cause I'm probably never gonna get to see it in that format again.
