Was the Whore of Babylon attractive? I ask because those who act are just a different kind of whore and much like riding upon a 10 headed beast those who do so today are similarly evil.

So at best we’re getting actual bond casting and strong wahman sidekick/girlboss and diversity cast like the video game. At worst we’re getting diversity bond with zendaya playing girlboss and every side character from Q to M is some diversity cast.

Muted color palette and boring as fuck set and costume designs is what we're definitely getting.

Don't forget about the heavy dose of pretension.

And the incredibly long establishing shots that eat up half the movie, leaving little time for plot, action, or storytelling.

But 45 minutes of boring landscape shots of the desert are vital to the plot. And so are the 30 minutes of Shani dream sequences even though she only appears at the end of the movie as a background extra.

His establishing shots in the Dune movies were so long, that the combined run time of the 2 movies was equal to the 3 part Dune miniseries on Scifi, which were largely accurate to the books, and even included extra material, whereas Villeneuve's movies left out a ton of material, and changed a lot.

That's why I absolutely despite Dunc in every way possible. It's even worse than the 1984 Dune cinema cut. I rather watch blocky shields and sound guns than a Dune 'adaptation' that forgets to include the Spacing Guild and with it breaks the entire story. Captain Picard charging into battle holding a pug is infinitely better than expressionless Timothee twink and Zendaya.

Hey now, Duncan Idaho did nothing wrong. And then did nothing wrong again. And then did nothing wrong yet again. And again, and again, and aga-

Oh that was a typo, nevermind :p

Mini series and Children of Dune wasn't bad. Certainly better than the recent attempt.

I would not condemn the new Dune in its entirety. It did do some things well, even if those things don't make up for the errors of judgement.

Is Bond in the new game black? I heard the casted the dude that played Jon Stewart Green Lantern. Nothing has been learned

Maybe.

The world was a little busy this last week when this was mentioned so might have flown under the radar for a lot of people.

I don’t get why you wouldn’t at least ask Cavill.

He may be blackballed after proving to care about source material too much. They want dancing monkeys to go along with whatever tune they play, not anyone with the slightest suggestion of original thought.

Yea. I’ll always love that interview when he didn’t take the bait. Also love the fact he left Witcher show over that

When he refused to throw men under the bus and refused to alter lore he started having troubles finding acting work despite being one helluva star.

He's a bit old for it. If they're planning to reboot the franchise, they'll probably want someone who can stick the role for ten years or so.

He’s white, but Q and M are diversity women, basically all the side characters are a diversity checkbox

Oh. Gotcha. Typical current year move. If you don’t race swap main character surround him with diversity. Kinda reminds me of the HBO Perry Mason show. I was gonna watch it til a lady at church gave me a summary

No game Bond is an Irish dude. They still haven't picked a new movie Bond

Bond should be reset to a 1960s Cold War setting, and remain there permanently. Silly gadgets and raunchy Bond Girls with names like Pussy Galore
