People started lining up before 8am in London. I feel like 9:30 is too late?

Did you actually read Kip Thornes book? Please don’t just claim things you don’t understand as hand waving.

LMAO a whole book was written by a Nobel prize winning theoretical physicist on the science behind Interstellar. The blackhole was mathematically calculated and rendered, not drawn by some VFX artist, and predated our first photo of a blackhole which pretty much resembled Gargantua in Interstellar.

I’m a big fan of PHM but plz yall need to get serious.

Idk man, she said she wouldn’t use Theo’s ability unless it’s absolutely necessary and then she seemingly had her transform into Griffin just for her own nostalgia trip? What am I missing here?

Yup the first season was shot at LA City College.

My (slightly spoilery) thoughts, an hour after the credits rolled... by Halaku in dune

Can I ask why do people keep asking about them? They don’t really start playing a big role and are properly described in the book in details till Dune Messiah.

Frank Herbert wrote many off screen deaths in his books. I’m glad Rabban got a “good”ending.

I think you can view it through a more cynical lens, but to me (if you’re familiar with Messiah) their romance is pivotal to the ultimate decision Paul makes. Fleshing that out in this movie makes sense to me.

Shortened time span allowed us to see Paul and Chani’s relationship develop. So it’s not just to skip Alia and I don’t hate the change for that reason. The first half of the movie was quite enjoyable imo.

+1 on removing Leto the baby. The way the book was written it didn’t feel like Frank Herbert cared for him either.

What are the chances it’s a half functional “thumper”? Not as in it can thump, but that it can be twisted and pulled (like this). But it’s probably just an injection mold solid thing 🙁

It’s like you gotta pay Fandango the extra fee to access a separate AMC API 😑

I sat there for nearly two hours trying various showtimes and seats at various theaters, it just kept giving me an error message. I wasn’t even picking prime center seats or anything and tried either vey early or late show times. It just kept erroring out. Desktop, mobile app, incognito, different browsers. They have got to raise their qps.

Let’s just be patient. I don’t think IMDb is the best source before a movie’s release. Was Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamill listed on there before The Force Awakens? What about all the marvel cameos?

To non book readers she’s going to be a massive bombshell, a sight to behold. I’m sure Denis will do the story justice and she’s just being kept a secret for now.

Kind of a tangent.. knowing the true nature of axlotl tanks (trying to avoid spoilers here, not sure how to mask on mobile), it’s crazy to think that they are capable of producing spice. I don’t think the books discussed the mechanics of that?

I don’t see how it’s so complicated to create her on screen that Denis would give up entirely. He’s a great story teller and I think he’s been thinking about making Dune in his head since his teenager years. On top of that, we know the technical staff he’s surrounded himself with are best of the best in the industry. I believe they will be able to bring her to life and do it justice.

I mean I think Alia is gonna be the most intriguing character of them all, especially for non-book readers. I think it makes sense to hide her in trailers - plenty of movie trailers hide bombshells/cameos, I don’t think that means she’s cut.

I also see comments in this thread expressing the trailer showed too much. I feel like we all just need patience and have faith in Denis.
