With the right casting agent - it works. Dumb buddy-cop comedy-action The Other Guys... perfect. Stoner comedy Ted - perfect. "Mark - you need to act stoned. Huh? Mark - just act confused. Ah, gotcha." Transformers - genius. "What's my motivation? Um - alien robots which can transform into cars and shit - trying to destroy Earth. Hmmm... so...? Angry and confused, Mark - angry and confused. Gotcha."

……and that’s why he’s had the career he’s had.
Remember we live in a world where people go and watch Adam Sandler movies so nothing should surprise anyone really.

Dune Part Two
Fucking amazing. Even better than part 1.
No notes.
6 Water Of Life out of 5 Florence Pughs
I could have done with less spoilers in your review but this looks pretty encouraging.
Going tonight after a BBQ, will enjoy a beer on the deck of the movie theatre before settling in for some sci fi awesomeness.
Expecting massive things and I suspect I’ll get them.

Great feedback on Dune. Will go and see it with the girl on Sundee night I think.
Movie series NEVER stop at two so a trilogy was always a given.
Dune Parts 1 and 2 complete the first book.
Theres still several more books in the saga to go. Though i doubt they will all make it to the big screen
They get very weird..Starts to get more detailed in terms of politics, tho they've largely done a good job of glossing over the relationship between the Space Guild, Landsraad, and Emperor in the name of making good cinema.
I think the introduction of the sister requires further exploration -

@Kirwan @NTA did you guys see it on imax?
apart from just the bigger screen which it was filmed for theres the sound...i dont think ive ever heard such a loud pair of movies before. My chair vibrated at times. It was fucken amazing.Hopefully Part 2 will do well enough for Part 3 to be given the go ahead. Though i suspect it will be some time off before its made.

Agree with all the positives re Dune 2. Possibly the best SF movie ever. In amny ways it reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia - big, epic, grand set pieces. For three hours the plot fairly races along. It's really a very light touch. Shit just happens without much detail and background, but it works.
The set pieces are fucking amazing. Surely has to clean up every technical Award going

Yeah, heard at least three years.
But that's because he's doing Rendezvous with Rama, can't wait to see what he does with that, going to be a trip.

I really like they don't hit you over the head that Paul is not the good guy.

This may sound like heresy but those tits cannot make up for the awfulness of that voice.

When you coming out?

@MN5 said in Movie review thread...:
Yeah the 80s movie painted Paul as the great redeemer.
Definitely less so in this case
Like the books
the movies deal well with the struggle Paul feels in saving himself and his family, at the cost of billions once the Fremen go full jihad on the galaxy -

No just a standard screen (everything else booked) but even that was pretty fucking epic for sound that made your seat vibrate.
The local Reading Cinema has a "Titan" cinema with bigger screen and better seating. Will go back once I get tone, to get the full brown note experience.
