Dune: Part Two (Denis Villeneuve, March 1st, 2024) • Page 39

I googled "facecard competition" in Google and absolutely nothing came up

 

If you really want to nerd out on Dune with a bunch of other Dune nerds, this is good

 

I know Oscar wasn't in the first one that long but I loved him in it

 

I just Googled "facecard" and apparently it's Tiktok slang for facial attractiveness.

I feel unclean now.

 

Going again this afternoon, interested to see if I feel differently after a second viewing.

 

I would like to see this again.

 

fly to okc let's gooooooo

 

Yeah, I've got tickets for a second round Sunday evening and I'm wondering how this will feel then.

 

lol

 

I will admit when Paul drank the blue stuff and then came back I muttered to myself "oh classic hero's journey"

 

Happy to say I did like it a little more on rewatch. But still has its flaws with some pacing in the first bit and the acceleration at the end; also agree with Walken being miscast. I did like the highs some more, though, and the emotional beat at the end hit way harder. Still believe I lean more towards Part One but would rate them equally; kind of an Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise deal for an odd comparison. Ferguson is definitely the standout, IMO.

 

Walken might be too old now to do the weird Walken act everyone craves.

 

Craving

 

honestly fuckin insane that the Emperor didn't land on Arakkis and start dabbing everyone up

 

The series was doomed the second they let that hack anywhere near it

 

Holy shit this movie rocks. Saw on the biggest screen I could. Pretty much everything about this in terms of visuals, sound design, soundtrack is all perfect. Some weird casting with Walken but his roll wasn't huge so no big deal. Wish this was an hour longer.

 

"You should be kissing my feet."

"You'll be lucky if I let you keep your head."

- basically the only line of Walken's that I remember

 

who would everyone here have cast as Shaddam

 

christopher walken

 

it's Florence Pugh's dad so obviously Bob Odenkirk
