    i just finished watching dune.
    im gonna assume most of yall have either read the book or watch the lynch movie.
    so i can talk about it in detail. but i wont.
    cuz theres not much difference between the lynch version and this one regarding story development or unrollment of story. 
     
    but i'll give you my thoughts.
    first off the music.
    its quite good. its arabesque in style. think prince of persia soundtrack. but not as good as the games. good tho and fits the desert scene.
    visuals. its quite pretty. even if alot of it looks like lynch's.
    some of it. some scenes look stunning tho. namely the parts that dont look like the dune stuff youve seen before. but those scenes that stand out are sorta few and far between tbh.
    but its still satisfying and strong visualswise. Tho the movie at times was dark lightingwise like star wars solo movie. and lacking in color. pretty monochrome.
    acting. its quite strong. at least paul's mom. duncan. the baron. and most especially javier bardem. he stole every scene he was in. hopefully javier playing stilgar will appear alot more in part 2.
    this aint no spoiler but
    the movie ends where paul and his moms meet the fremen at the rocks after they run from the worm. right after they join the fremen and start leaving the rocks.
    but you guys im assuming have all seen the lynch movie by now to know which part of that movie im talking about. if u have never read the book or seen the movie. dont matter cuz you dont even know what im talkin about by saying that.
     
    now.
    the big problem with the movie.
    its half the book.
    sooooo. idk wtf to think.
    it would be like watching star wars a new hope and watching in 77 first time and then the movie just cuts off pretty much abruptly after the escape the death star on the falcon.
    idk...who's decision it was to do this. but its a real bad one imo. i mean, maybe if youve never read the book or seen lynch's film it wont hit you hard and you can accept how it just ends all....tv show episode tune in next week type of way. but i am mind fucked they did this. cuz it feels fucked up that they release a movie thats 2 hours 23 minutes and its half the story half the book with no even part 1 in the title or anything. or even mentioning it in the trailers or pre interviews. all this time. for YEARS we were all led to believe that this was the dune story. the complete full book. front to back. and for the movie to just end. with them leaving the rocks meeting stilgar and him accepting paul and his mom into his tribe. is just straight up mindfuckery imo.
    idk how to feel or think. i feel sorta cheated man.
    like. if you expect people to not feel cheated out of half a movie. yet full price ticket you gotta. i mean gotta give em a heads up way in advance that its the first half of the book man.
    i know i aint crazy for feeling this way. 
    if you ask me rate it from 1 to 10. cant. its half the book man. its incomplete. it would be like me reading half the book and trying to score it. cant. 
    sooo idk what i experienced.
     
    lastly, that said, i refuse to believe warner bros spent that much money, and trust me the spent money, lots of it cuz you can see it and then some...to only shoot half of the book. no way. im gonna assume they already shot the whole entire movie and just decided to split the movie into two parter cuz how much film footage they ended up with and decided not to cut it down editing it down to fit 3 hours. im guessing. cuz i cant imagine that this decision of shooting half the book and spending that much money was predetermined.
    if they did from day one decide to just shoot half the book and hope for the best then either denis the director or someone at warner bros is nutso. i doubt they would do that. thats too bonkers to do.
    was dune 2021 a bad movie? no. i enjoyed it. 
    was it as good as dune dune 84? um. idk cuz again, half the book so cant tell you. but it going past 2 hours to get half way of the book..mm. prob not
    its close to as good. from what i saw.
    way better than lynch's dune? hell no.
    i appreciate lynch's movie ALOT more. just for the fact he managed to give us the whole book give or take for pretty much the same amount of minutes as this new one.
    i appreciate lynch's movie condensing the book where it fit 1 movie, alot more.
    i feel denis. and what he was trying to do in give us the story in a less rushed less compacted way but dude. its sorta needlessly long. i never really felt bored or that the story was that slow paced. cuz i felt the world building alot. i felt it. i felt myself in that dune universe.
    but who cares its half the story. then just...credits. uh.
    was dune 2021 as good as blade runner 2049?
    hell fuck no. BR 2049 was a fuckin masterpiece home run. this aint a home run. hell no. 
     
    lastly the reviewers calling this a masterpiece is more them jerkin off the nerds telling them what they wanna hear i think. i think most reviewers are just stroking the nerds cuz of fear of nerd rage. cuz they know nerds rage out more than any other group when it comes to going against what their expectations are aka the last jedi reaction when ryan gave everybody shit they werent expecting. nerds expected a masterpiece but i wouldnt call this movie a masterpiece. its good but not great. 
    tbh it just makes me wanna see the lynch movie again and appreciate how he fit the full story into under 3 hours.
    i still recommend you guys see it. its good.
    just dont expect satisfaction.
    its half a meal. 
    you gonna leave hungry no doubt.
     
    p.s. the dopest shit in the movie...dragonfly helicopters. those shits was fire.

    dune movie came out and i had no idea the movie is actually a "part 1" of a 2 movie thing with no 2nd part made or shot yet. which i think is nuts cuz if it bombs theres no part 2 and that means it just ends in the middle of the story. its like wtf man. smh.

    Why shouldn't we teach children about CRT. You can appreciate how far you've come if you don't know where you've been. Tell them to try to move a 36in solo and it'll put things in perspective.

    Man sheeeitttt, anytime I see another trailer for that Power Rangers fighting game, it keeps reminding me of how great a Power Rangers "Dynasty Warriors" style thing could be.  A lot of folks got tired of that genre a long time ago but I never did.  If anyone makes a proper Power Rangers game in that genre with huge cast of playable heroes and villains, it's definitely a day one purchase for me, easyyyy.  
     
    I'd start the Ranger characters off in regular clothes and have the Ranger form be a transformation, but no time-limits or anything, you just transform and stay that way until maybe you get too beat up or something...like the enemies have to knock you out of that forms HP to drop you down to "normal human fighter" status....but if you build meter with a comeback you could transform again.  Naturally your super/EX moves would be stuff like the upgraded forms, e.g. "SWAT Mode" from the SPD era.... or any Red Ranger's "Battlelizer" form....then you could have some specials where the rest of your team shows up to do that combo team-up attack.  "Ultimate" moves could be something even more flashy than that....some involving the Zords and Megazords and all that.  Basically it would just be all the ideas lifted from this fighting game but used in the Dynasty Warriors-style game.  The blue-print is already there, folks.  Someone needs to make this magic happen.
     
    man, it brings back so many memories... I had to check one of my favorite intro/themes again... Ninja Storm was one of the best seasons, and had one of the best intro themes.
    Favorite of all time though...I'd lean towards that Zeo theme
