Movie Dune: Part 2 (2024)

60 minutes did a thing on Hans Zimmer last weekend.

That crazy underlying sound in the score of Dune, is a twenty some foot long handmade PVC “horn”.

As Dune was originally written in the 1960s, Baron Harkonnen is a product of Herbert's time. According to Dreamer of Dune: The Biography of Frank Herbert, the author of Dune had some very homophobic beliefs and had a bad relationship with his gay son, Bruce. Herbert's views on sexuality and his refusal to accept Bruce as a gay man may have been projected onto the character of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen while he was writing Dune. This encouraged the harmful portrayal of gay men as a result of the baron's actions in the book and earlier on-screen adaptations.
 
This will be must see.

Predictable.

Dune got pushed back to March 15 2024
 
So the basic answer for the delays is the SAG-AFTRA strike.

I hate, hate, hate supporting Hollywood but will pay any price to see this in IMAX.

I gotta tell you, I must be the only one on the planet who didn't like Part 1. Hell I even watched it a second time because everybody thought I was nuts. Nope, the second watch was as shitty as the first. Maybe Part 2 will be better. I'll watch that and see.

I'm kind of the same. I want to like it, but it was kind of meh to me, it didn't suck, but didn't wow me either. Maybe it's because I read the books, but I've seen all the Dune movies, and none of them really get it right.

I liked it but was definitely disappointed, based on my expectations.

I didn't like Part 1 at first, but then I watched it again and came to appreciate it more.

Ditto, I read the books and saw the first movie. I expected with more modern cinema, they would have knocked it out of the park, but it flopped for me. I watched it a second time with my daughter and when I went to the bathroom or beer fridge I told her not to pause it. Was glad when it ended.

Nah, I’m with you. I even watched 2/3 of the first Dune movie from the 80s, and didn’t detect much of a quality improvement. And that’s with better actors, scripts and updated CGI (though I think the original may’ve been more expensive). I suspect that it’s just not an adaptable property in the end.

No doubt about that.
