And this is why we can't have nice things.
Dune is not the same genre. Like, I accept the fact that Hollywood studio logic will conflate cyberpunk with space opera as some impenetrable fake nerd shit, and maybe-probably shitcan the Dune project because 2049 bombed so fucking hard, but it's still wrong.I knew Blade Runner was in trouble after Ghost in the Shell bombed. Akira and Dune will bomb as well if they aren't canned.
Im angry, but ill be aure to watch it when it opens here.
Movie was shit sorry guys. The narrative is paper thin, and the visuals are amazing. I just like more substance to the movies I watch. If you like it more power to you, however the narrative was really bad.
What is your idea of a more substantial movie?Movie was shit sorry guys. The narrative is paper thin, and the visuals are amazing. I just like more substance to the movies I watch. If you like it more power to you, however the narrative was really bad.

Gah. Fuck them. Fuck this. Imagine a world where we can't have Dune because nobody saw the amazing Blade Runner sequel, and we get Craig Bond and Cleo-fucking-patra instead.
Dune is even more obscure than Bladerunner and the Lynch film was kind of a disaster. Plus the budget for a Dune film would be insane.Dune is not the same genre.

Dune shouldn't even be a movie. At minimum it needs to be a 8-10 miniseries.
Nah, HBO. Dune needs a 10 million an episode budgetNetflix miniseries. Pls.
The Lynch film was kind of terrible. Yes, the budget will/would be outrageous, but they can sell it like a Star Wars film. It is a Star Wars film. I understand why 2049 was tough to market, seeing as it had about ten minutes of fighting throughout its three-hour runtime, but Dune has all that commercial shit. Sand worms; spaceships; atomic explosions; knife fights; humongous battles; chosen boy with special powers leads the natives against the evil empire.Dune is even more obscure than Bladerunner and the Lynch film was kind of a disaster.

Just came back from this. I loved it! Glad I could give them my money.

this is always in the back of my mindDune could totally lean into the John Carter of Mars territory without the right marketing. And its result.

I dont think being a SF classic counts for much towards box office success. People think of the films 2001, Bladerunner, Starship Troopers etc.The Lynch film was kind of terrible.

As for its obscurity, you really can't ask for more recognition in sci-fi lit than Dune. Like, what else is there that hasn't been done? Foundation? It's certainly better known than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
If Dune by some miracle still ends up being made, that budget is going to be slashed as fuck. You going to see crayon sketches of a desert.

2049 is not perfect and there's lots of valid criticisms to be made but I think style over substance is not one of them. This movie is packed with ideas. Some half baked, some stretched too thin and some realised wonderfully.
St. Louis is ranked No. 16 in the country for bed bug infestations, according to numbers released by Terminix on Thursday.
Really bummed to see the low numbers. This was always going to be a blue ray purchase for me, though, as with most movies. I refuse to go to theaters anymore. I have a ton of friends at work who say the same thing.

Fucking bed bugs are everywhere in St Louis. Our local news webpages tracks infestations. It's an epidemic.
I mean superheroes and Game of Thrones are nerd shit too. It doesn't stop the mainstream from never shutting up about them.I can't comment on the quality of Blade Runner 2 since i haven't seen it. It could be great. But based on my experience with Blade Runner 1, a decent number of people in my social circle won't be seeing this.
Sorry cyberpunkGAF but i had to be honest with all the people who ask me about "nerd stuff". Them's the breaks :|

Well you know the person you're talking about, but for my money GoT is 1000x more dense and "nerdy" than either of these BR films.I got my friend who i mostly see these days when we lift weights together to watch all 7 seasons of Game of Thrones, probably the most talky show he's ever watched for that long. He asked me about Blade Runner and i told him he probably wouldn't like it.
How many minutes of screentime Admiral Adama gets in this?
The movie definitely spends more time in and around LA than in VegasOk real question here . What is the ratio of Cyberpunk city to the sand area in screen time ? I hope its more of the former .
and how they managed to convince Villeneuve to direct it.
