Luzifer's right hand Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Should I watch it a 4th time in cinema? I think I have one friend left who has no to seen it. I think I have to do it for the greater good! Don't judge me! Edit: None of the people I saw it with are big SF fans and only my mum is a reader and read Dune in the 80s(but remembered only the plot of the 2 half lol. We suspect they split the book into two in German and that she never read the first one). All of them enjoyed it a lot. I think it is far more accessible than people like us who know the plot suspect and the visuals and the sounds are magnificent in cinema. Edit2: Lady Jessica does feel like the pivotal character. I really dig the performance of Rebecca Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beautiful, he told me, lifting a copy with the same cover from his desk. Ah yes, that one: https://images.noosfere.org/couv/p/pp5069-1981.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 If it hits HBO Max Thursday I'm staying home, not going to the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like going back to the 90s and I really didn't want to do that lol. I've been planning on seeing this as my first "going back out into the world post lockdown" treat but that was before it was pushed again. If I can see it at home before then I'll cave and do that, then just see it in the theatre when it finally arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Say it is on Max this Thursday. I wonder if the same thing will happen that did with the final episode of Mare of Easton -- so many tuned in HBO crashed, so people like me didn't get to see who did it until the next day. It'll be like my experience today going for the flu shot -- assured several times it was offered as a walk-in and no appointment necessary, in fact "we don't do appointments." And sure nuff, "We don't have enough flu vaccine for walk-ins, so you must make an appointment." So I did -- with an M.D. who also is an acupuncturist, which means it will be a better experience than the pharmacy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this isn't the right thread for the discussion, all I'll say is my pharmacist resents the hell at being asked to do vaccinations, because "I am a pharmcist, not a nurse," and does them very badly. The important thing is I'll get to see DUNE soon -- sometime, via MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to find a stream because I NEED there to be a sequel to this movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just sharing this Dune related story after a few of you have commented on appreciation for the SciFi mini series. Apparently McAvoys presence was apparent even to other actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember being almost shaken by McAvoys power in Children of Dune, he was better than anyone had any right to be on something like that.

Werthead Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I like the idea that James McAvoy took acting advice the perennially underrated Claudia Black to heart (also, great to see Black recently in The Nevers, and hope we see more of her).

IheartIheartTesla Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I didnt realize it would be streaming on HBO Max, so this is an unexpected pleasure. If only the Foundation series would be on some other platform I would be in sci-fi book to screen adaptation heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 We loved it. My wife was over the moon. Cannot wait to watch it again. Really really hope it gets a 2nd movie to conclude the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
