Oscar Isaac Says Denis Villeneuve’s Vision for ‘Dune’ Is ‘Nightmarish’ and ‘Brutalist’
Dune news! We have Dune news!
Well, not really. As pointless as Rebecca Ferguson’s comments of strong women characters, this tells us little. Though, I like the idea of a massive scifi event film feeling brutalist and nightmarish. What that means specifically we may get an inkling of with a trailer. Hey, maybe we should get a trailer at some point.
That Quentin Tarantino ‘Star Trek’ Movie Might Not Happen After All
I’m okay with this. Tarantino finishing his career with a small movie, untied to any franchise, feels like the right postscript. I hope he doesn’t retire after movie ten, but if he does, I’d rather it not be with a Star Trek movie.
‘Purple Rain,’ ‘Amadeus,’ ‘Boys Don’t Cry,’ ‘Clerks’ Enter National Film Registry
Amadeus attaining an important post in the National Film Registry. Well deserved.
The others? Erm…

I know I’m in the minority but I really enjoy David Lynch’s “Dune.” Flawed for sure but some brilliant imagery.

It looks really good (though the Jodorowsky documentary makes me wish for more color in the designs), but it feels like a patchwork of scenes instead of a cohesive story. They captured the moments they wanted from the book, but they never built a story around those moments.
I feel like it’s a great example of how not to adapt a book to film.
