The original movie is unironically bad and everyone says they like it because they think it's edgy to do so. The new movie looks like a mess with the visuals being the only redeeming quality.

Worms dont grow that big

It shows sandniggers as anything but retarded savages

I'm partial to Tim Burton's Dune.

It's such an iconic and beloved book that everyone has there own image of how things should look and sound and feel. A movie could never live up to everyone's imagination.

dare i say based?

What would Wes Anderson's Dune be like?
>Bill Murray as the Baron
>"Let me tell you about my fief"
>Rock the Casbah starts playing over a montage of Muad'dib's rebellion

most directors are uncreative

It's a boring story

most of the dialogue are the characters reading each other with emotion/mind powers. Also no good way to portray "visions" on film.

A lot of it is internal monologue.

Because the scope of requirements is too high. You need best-in-industry groundbreaking special effects, godlike writers, the perfect cast, and a director who can wrangle all of these warring geniuses into one-minded adherence to his singular vision.

It is an impossible task. Some stories can only exist as books, every detail mandated by strokes from an author's hand.

this. it's the sci-fi version of LOTR

No it's unfilmable because Herbert doesn't know how to get information across so he just lets the reader listen to all the characters' thoughts. So any Dune film is mostly boring voiceover.

Sure hope. The costumes and art look as bland and placeless as ever

how is reading a characters thoughts bad writing?

HAHA, they actually are religious zealots so...

user read this reply and thought about how lazy it is to just explain what every character is thinking and feeling in a scene rather than implying it by describing their actions or writing good dialogue.

Abby would have made the perfect Chani

have you ever read a book before?

For one, it shouldn't be a movie. The novel has a huge break in the middle that could literally be it's own season.

Yes, believe it or not that's not something every writer does.

It is personally one of the reasons I prefer (good) film/TV to literature. Books have a way of over explaining thoughts, feelings, and motivation, whereas a movie feels more like real life.

Werner Herzog: "Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates."

lol based user

you're not even midwits, you're both straight brainlets.

big shnoz autistic mommy...

>I need the characters thoughts and emotions spelled out to me constantly.

This is why Dune appeals to autistic sci fi geeks.

I didn't saying anything about what I need. I prefer good writing and a good story. some writers make good stories with lots of inner dialog.

It’s just so shit and boring if it was filmed “right” people would hate it

Did Giger draw this? Because those are some seriously dick shaped pillars there.

Please tell me this is her, and this is real. I’m in a bad way recently, I need this. I need a win.

Contemporary literature criticism has bought in to the concept of "show don't tell" to the point where I think people have honestly forgotten it's a non visual medium.

A huge amount of information in Dune is delivered "off screen" directly to the reader which simply isn't acceptable to most modern readers.

another goy snared. Abby is unstoppable
