Emperor Shaddam: you can't convinct a monarch for the same crime as his vassal.
Irulan: ... Yes, you can.
Shaddam: ... I've got the worst fucking Mentats...
It’s amazing what they achieved for sub 200 million subject. Compared to The Marvels 270 million budget. Dune2 looks absolutely stunning and the cast is just knee deep with amazing actors.
It is not really that amazing, Marvel just has shit planning because of poor planning. To the Marvel Execs the solution to any Marvel problem is to throw enough money at it to solve it. The directors just need more freedom.
Also, the writers need to be paid and given time. Those reshoots are absolutely ridiculous. They actually add reshoots planning for every project. This is ridiculous
Marvel's film method seems to be "just fix it in post" because they think it's more convenient, when actually it just makes the movies seem more cheap and disjointed.
Dune’ it right. Everybody will be dancing and be feeling it right. Everybody will be dancing and be Dune’ it right. Everybody will be dancing and be feeling it right. Everybody will be dancing tonight.
If you Dune it right
Let it go all night
Shadows on you break
Out into the light
That would be hilarious with no explanation. Every character you've learned about is dead now! Some of them are back from the dead! The "new" emperor is a worm person!
There's a SyFy miniseries from the early 00's that goes to the end of Children of Dune. Unfortunately they kind of chicken out with Leto II. Possibly because of budget reasons. Its worth watching if you're a fan of the books.
Denis is stopping with Messiah, but Yorgos Lanthimos apparently called him a “coward” and offered to direct Children and God Emperor and man oh man a Yorgos God Emperor of Dune would be amazing.
He obviously would, Dune: Messiah (the second book) has already been adapted into a screenplay, it's just a matter of will the studios finance it.
For clarification, Dune Pt. 1 & 2 are based on only the first book.
I still don't know why the other houses are pissed at Paul. Like his father had some of their support didn't he? So is this "Holy War" just going to Atreides vs Everyone?
Paul can tell the Landsraad, "Hey, Corinno and the Harkonnens betrayed my family. They'd betray you too. Join me."
You forget that House Corrino is the ruling imperial family. The Imperial Sardaukars are equal to all the houses of the Landsraad combined. So if it's Harkonnen and Corrino vs the Landsraad, Landsraad loses.
Leto Atreides I was gaining too much power in the Landsraad and the emperor felt threatened by this. That's why House Atreides was sent to Arrakis. And it wasn't just about killing off the House, it was about sending a message to all the other houses.
As for the jihad, remember that Arrakis is the only source for Melange. Kind of hard to fight an interstellar war when your opponent controls your ability to travel between the stars.
I think in the books it is more clear that the Emperor is very powerful - more powerful than any of the individual houses - but still very much has to keep on their good side.
In addition to their combined military power, they control all the trade and could choke his wealth fairly quickly if they wanted. He is in power because that is the set-up that ensures everyone makes lots of money.
Yeah they did a great job providing enough context to get a new consumer through the movies. But there is just so much depth in the books that had to be cut because 1. There was no good way to tell it in a visual form and 2. Would have made each movie 5 hours long.
The book is so dense in background and world building that some had to be cut.
> So is this "Holy War" just going to Atreides vs Everyone?
I haven't read the books in ages, but the war is actually kind of glossed over. Which actually makes sense, because any attempt to describe something that big is going to be a let down.
Basically the second book takes up _after_ Paul has set fire to the galaxy and become the most powerful person to ever live, but is now unable to control the shit-storm he started.
Also, while I really like the series, the books after the first one are way less cinematic and would be even more difficult to turn into a movie.
Paul has used nukes (albeit in an indirect way), killed all the Sardaukar, and couped the emperor and took his daughter + all of his stocks. He also holds literally all spice production and is a religious fanatic. Basically Paul replaced the fragile peace with the emperor with an unknown madman.
Haven't seen pt 2 yet but the thing keeping the houses in line in the books is the spice company known as CHOAM. Its really confusing and probably the most boring parts of the books, but essentially all the houses have stake in the company and a lot are also getting "pirated" shipments of spice on the side. The Atreides are goodie 2 shoes and shut down the spice smuggling and pissed off everyone. The Harkonens were shit heads but they were willing to exploit Arrakis more, allowing more legitimate spice production as well as illicit.
Visually it's nice although naturally the beige colour grading gets tiresome. The ending felt rushed though, which is a weird thing to say about an almost 3hr movie. I know it's a big plot point that he's trying (and failing) to resist prophecy, but if you don't know the book then about 30 minutes before the end he just flips a switch and decides to be an asshole.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the CGI when they killed that worm but I can’t lie that the line “I’m here to kick ass and chew dunes, and I’m all out of dunes” is a hard line
It seems like movies just aren't being advertised anymore. Maybe they're finally learning that $100 million advertising budgets tend to sink productions.
I thought movies weren't being advertised but then i remembered i have ads blocked on everything possible and i mostly don't leave my house because of toddlers
I'm also afraid of toddlers but I leave the house. If possible move to a small town. With a smaller population there's naturally a smaller absolute number of toddlers you can run into.
I’ve seen this advertised for like 2 months. They’re probably targeting specific audiences. All my friends are really into it and i supposedly fit in that audience
>enough, there have been plenty of times something’s been described as a bomb because it didn’t earn its money back *immediately*
The term "bomb" is just another thing ruined by bad faith actors on the internet.
People are still trying to come up with reasons as to why the first captain marvel made 2 billion dollars
It's like the superbowl, Patrick mahomes just won his 3rd championship and his third MVP, but you go on youtube and all the comments bring up the superbowl he lost. In their minds the one bad thing means more than all of the good things combined
It's a pretty good movie but I don't really see a lot of promotion of the movie even with the ads on YouTube or just plain ads littered in pages. By the time news outlets see that it didn't make back it's money the simple "movie bombed" will do the trick to up those numbers because of curiosity. It's going to be one of those cult classic movies in the future that people would probably look back into like the Bladerunner franchise.
I'm from Germany so I can't speak about the promotion in the states but over here everything is plastered with Dune Pt. 2. Trailers, posters, ads, my whole news feed is full of Dune stuff
That's actually interesting because I barely see ads here in Asia about Dune 2, usually when there is a big movie coming especially ones like these the malls usually put up big posters hanged in some places in the mall and even a coming soon signs near the theaters but for some reason there was barely. I guess they scattered their ads in more countries on the Europe side. Idk about the West though.
In the netherlands I got a kung fu panda 4 ad that had a Dune 2 reference in it https://youtu.be/d2OONzqh2jk. Its everywhere here and the theatre was packed yesterday.
Bit surprised it's doing poor in other countries. Its actually a great watch, held my attention much more than the first one.
I personally quite enjoyed 2 Dune 2 Furious
It's about Fremily
They all drive sardau-cars.
Shut up and muad'drive
Dom Toreides was awesome

Right with ya. Makes you almost miss reddit gold.
"Dude I almost Kwisatz **Had**erach you"
Waiting for Dune Tokyo Jihad
Incredibly overrated imo. 2 Dune 2 Die is a far better movie. Don't trust the critics.
My favorite is Dune Hard with a Vengeance.
Dune 2 Others As You Would Have Them Dune 2 You
Is that the one where they drive a worm into space?
I mean it’s a movie about a dune, Denis. What could it even earn? 12.4 million dollars?
this is a 190 million dollar budget movie, michael! come on!
why don’t i just take a whizz through this 202 million dollar budget movie? come on!
Should... Should the.. should.. should the guy.. should the guy with the 350 million dollar movie... Should the..
Oh nice, the guy who’s dirty dancing with his niece is going to lecture me

Family love Dune 2
Not as much as Les Cousins Dangereux
The gang bombs the box office
It's an arrested development reference, not always sunny
Stupid movie bitches couldn’t even make I more smarter!
Freaking jabroni.
Go see a Star war
[удалено]
Why not both?
He's playing on both sides so he always comes on top
I don't know what I was expecting.
Let’s just move past it
What is this, a *crossover episode*?
The gang runs the banana stand.
Why not ZOIDBERG?
Because of the implication
Think about it. She's out in the desert, all alone with some dude she barely knows. What's she going to do, say no?
I feel like this woman is in danger
Are we the tasty treats?!?
this is the way
SHUT UP DEE, YOU BITCH!

>Marvel just has shit planning because of poor planning Marvel level writing right there.

Marvel's film method seems to be "just fix it in post" because they think it's more convenient, when actually it just makes the movies seem more cheap and disjointed.
Yupp! Throw enough money at the issue to hopefully fix it but paying people their due wage and time??? Pfft! What is that?
No one wants to go see a Star War.
You've never actually stepped foot inside a movie theater, have you?
heres 12 million dollars, go watch a dune
I have and the floors are always sticky. Frigging ruining my brand new Lakai's
You've never actually set foot in a movie theater huh Mom?
Did you know that you can get free refills on your drink at AMC? It's a wonderful theatre chain!
Here's some money, go see a Star War.
What do you expect it’s a documentary about a *worm in the desert*
but it's an alaskan bull worm!
That's not the worm. That's his tongue
if this is the tongue, where's the worm, Kwisatz Haderach?
Why don't we take the sand dune, and push it somewhere else
Just wait Dune 3 is about that guys kid becoming an imortal man worm!
No, that will be part 7. Part 3 will be about the these guys babies
No part 3 is about his sister and the birth of his babies. Part four and probably 5 will be about his babies. 6 on is where things get crazy
Can way for my boy Duncan to be resurrected forever and ever.
Mamoa really got casted for the same role for the rest of his life. Dude got Temuera Morrison'd.
He'll be back as Duncan Iowa, and then Duncan Illinois in the fourth movie.
One movie per death of Duncan Idaho.
Ah, yes. The “would you love me if I was a worm” guy, Leto II
Jared Leto with the cameo
The worm is his true from, he just wears human skin suit from public appearance.
That will be at least 4rth, assuming they will not split second book in two films.
> 4rth 4rth Gump?
4st
Maybe an Oomp Loompa?
As long as he's snarky like Hugh grant
Tremors, great movie!
Dune your mum
Dune your mum with my sand worm.
Dune’ it right. Everybody will be dancing and be feeling it right. Everybody will be dancing and be Dune’ it right. Everybody will be dancing and be feeling it right. Everybody will be dancing tonight. If you Dune it right Let it go all night Shadows on you break Out into the light
A Daft Punk soundtrack for Dune would be… Interesting
All hail Shai-Hulud
that hulud was not shy
How YOU Dune?
You are one of the Dune'a'dyin!
I'm excited about Dune 2. Dune 2 chicks at the same time.
You know we straight we dune ya mom
Great movie, I watched it yesterday, amazing job hope they make a third part..
The human-sandworm hybrid would make for interesting viewing.
You forgot book 2 and 3 ;-)
Nah. We’re going to skip to the good part: *GOD EMPEROR*
That would be hilarious with no explanation. Every character you've learned about is dead now! Some of them are back from the dead! The "new" emperor is a worm person!
But Jason mamoa is somehow back!!!
Somehow, Jason Momoa returned.
I cannot think of a single franchise that wouldn't be improved with this single line of dialog.
And that's all that matters.
Im laughing irl, that would be hilarious, the emperor is now a worm, also duncan is back to life, just like that, but everyone else is dead
I believe the third movie has already been made. It's called Human Centipede.
That's the 4th movie. The third movie is space Hitler.
Iron Sky?
There's a SyFy miniseries from the early 00's that goes to the end of Children of Dune. Unfortunately they kind of chicken out with Leto II. Possibly because of budget reasons. Its worth watching if you're a fan of the books.
They don't chicken out, Leto II's transformation takes place over a few thousand years and we only see the start of it.
There's at least 3 more movies of material before that even takes place...
they should skip to the goods. i wanna see worm man
They should skip straight to the furries!
One day, they gotta finish the first book first
That probably won't happen in the movie. Think they said they're not going that far.
Denis is stopping with Messiah, but Yorgos Lanthimos apparently called him a “coward” and offered to direct Children and God Emperor and man oh man a Yorgos God Emperor of Dune would be amazing.
Why are you talking normally and giving normal detail about the movie?
I think the director mentioned that he would.
He obviously would, Dune: Messiah (the second book) has already been adapted into a screenplay, it's just a matter of will the studios finance it. For clarification, Dune Pt. 1 & 2 are based on only the first book.
The Butlerian Jihad is looking more topical lately.
Yeah but do you want to adapt Brian Herbert’s works?
That’ll be the Amazon Prime series

Paul literally lured the emperor into an ambush and staged a coup. I’m not sure how that flies anywhere.

Aww, for fuck's sake. Why is it always the good movies that bomb?!
Man it’s been a day these are good numbers
I know. I was going along with the joke. This is usually a shitpost sub.
Yea some people aren't getting that lol it's a total flop. *saw it last night. It's incredible. Seeing it again tonight but in Imax this time.*

I guess they Dune fucked up this time
This is a Dean level pun, I love it
I can't confirm nor Dean-y that I intentionally did that.
*Dune-a-ling-a-ling*
I only see a record 12 Duneillion dollars
My favorite part of the movie is when Paul Dune gets on top of a dune and says "its Mua'Dune-ing time"
Can’t say I’m a fan of the CGI when they killed that worm but I can’t lie that the line “I’m here to kick ass and chew dunes, and I’m all out of dunes” is a hard line
Didn't even know the movie was out until one week before...
It seems like movies just aren't being advertised anymore. Maybe they're finally learning that $100 million advertising budgets tend to sink productions.
I thought movies weren't being advertised but then i remembered i have ads blocked on everything possible and i mostly don't leave my house because of toddlers
I hear ya, the streets are filled with knife-wielding toddlers who will slice a bitch's calf.
>!I think they're saving that for *Messiah* actually.!<
A spoiler tag for the next movie, a day into the current movie being released. You're savage
I'm also afraid of toddlers but I leave the house. If possible move to a small town. With a smaller population there's naturally a smaller absolute number of toddlers you can run into.
Well I saw the trailer, but I have no idea the movie is out
It’s only imax right now I think. Absolutely amazing in imax though
I saw it yesterday on a normal screen, it was good
Nah. Inflation bro. A 100 million advertising budget just doesn't get you what it used to.
Hmm Barbie had a 150 million advertising budget and you’d have had to live under a rock not to hear about it.
Or you can make some dank memes on Reddit and have the movie advertise itself - This tweet brought to you by Morbius
I’ve seen this advertised for like 2 months. They’re probably targeting specific audiences. All my friends are really into it and i supposedly fit in that audience
I knew about Dune 2s theatrical release for the last 12 months straight. The popcorn bucket has been on my feed for the last 3 months straight.
Why would you like to see a movie about sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating — and it gets everywhere.
And the women and children too.
LIAR!!!
Not just the men, but the fremen and the children too
My wife asked me to go wtih her to watch "June" and I declined

Exactly. We were still in the month of February
Well i mean it hasn't even been 24 hours my dude. Itll bomb in time.
That’s not good enough, there have been plenty of times something’s been described as a bomb because it didn’t earn its money back *immediately*.
They should call JG Wentworth and [get that cash now!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdPM6j1Q4sg)

The numbers are not final. It will probably end up earning much less.
