Dune

I know it's not going to be boring per se, but it looks extremely boring. Looks like it's going to be 3 hours of Mr. Frowny Face staring at people with all the teenage angst in the world in a super desaturated world.
And that music... holy shit, hahaha! Whoever thought that was a good idea deserves a spanking.

^^ something about this trailer was underwhelming 

Agreed. I've been pretty excited for the movie but this trailer failed to inspire. 

i wanted to enjoy that more than I actually did

It'll be fun. As long as that godawful cover isn't in the actual movie.

Not terribly excited by Timothee Manlet or Denis Villeneuve's brand of bland epic nothings, but eh.

I really wish movies like Dune would try to cast more unknown actors for a change

love br2049, but this looks awfully unimaginative, especially the costume and set designs. cast lacking charisma for the most part, too. no spark i'm afraid. could still end up being kinda decent tho i guess.

oh and fuck dark side of the moon. mit anlauf.

Just wait until they do Dune Messiah

Looks like an attempt to make a movie for the big audience. Or in other words, a mix of Dune with Marvel Comics and Transformers. Secretly, I'm still hoping for an improved Lynchian kind of Dune. But that's not going to happen

edit: at trailer

Looks like scyfy GOT with pretty boy as teeny bopper Jesus.

You mean teenagers?

Big production usa movies are being made these days exclusively for teenagers (and others that feel like that)

This is why I can't connect with them, the brave lead doesn't even have hair on his balls.

Well, in the beginning of the first Dune book Paul Atreides is 15-16, what do you expect? 

Also Chamelet is of the same age McLachlan was in 1984, both ~25.

I'm of the impression the masses are emotionally stuck at being teenagers. Teenagers with more life experience, who look older than they are. I might be wrong though. If you're wondering about godel sitting on an unreasonably high horse, well...perhaps I'm just projecting my under-developped emotional state on the rest of the world. Or rather, it's highly likely...still though. Despite all this, I still think there's a point to be made here

Paul looks young!

Arrakis looks bleak! 

Seems like some of it might be boring!

yeah motherfuckers it’s based on the book. that’s the book.

lol books

maybe it's just me, but for some reason I think celebrities back in the '80s looked older, probably due to in part to more smoking/partying. that and the fact that a 25 year old back then carried himself differently, i.e. more like a man than the 25 year olds of today...who have been psychologically growth stunted thanks to heavy internet usage.

I get this... But at the same time when i was like 15 i also member some of my older 18yo friends looking way older than when i look to 18yo right now... I think as we grow up this difference also tends to seem bigger... Exponential?

We can't generalise it, but there is something to it. Look at the old pictures of people from early 1900s, they're like 35yo or sth and they fucking look like 55 already!

This is a picture of an English golfer J.H. Taylor from 1908, he's 37 in this pic! Look!

I don't know what's the reason behind it, the Earth was a healthier, cleaner planet 100 years ago, that's for sure...
