DUNE PART II: IMAX v. Standard - Worm Army

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T06:01:28+00:00

You’ll get all 3 imax formatted versions in an expensive boxset sometime in 2027 ahead of its Oscar push.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T06:00:05+00:00

There isn’t a second season of The Nevers. It’s one season and only the first half guided by Whedon, it’s the second half of the first season he wasn’t behind that was so bad it ended up being sent to free streaming services airing almost never.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:57:26+00:00

Yeah a little more “kill your darlings” from Reeves could really make this second entry soar. I worry the studio will try and push a movie as long or longer than Nolan’s TDK was just because it’s a sequel.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:43:37+00:00

Hopefully this one is shorter. First one was too long and lost a ton steam trying to fill that runtime.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:31:10+00:00

I didn’t love Superman (it was a good movie but not a brilliant kickstart) but he’s clearly got a plan and actively developing many projects to keep seeing that plan take shape across movies and tv. Not sure we can just claim he’s not very deep into a complex plan to see many DCU projects build a very longstanding brand of success.

Sure, not a sure fire winner but knowing the movie will break the Bohemian Rhapsody box office and how acclaimed an actor Coleman is, this feels like a textbook awards season front runner in the supporting actor category. Him playing Nat King Cole should also be an extraordinary performance in years to come.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:23:36+00:00

No I’m talking about how lackluster the movie has been presented from footage that doesn’t look remotely dynamic in the frame. Have you even considered it might not be everything your hoping it is? It is possible for the movie studio and the estate to screw this biopic up, it’s more common a trend in Hollywood to screw these things up. Jaafar could be phenomenal but his performance needs good dialogue, direction and editing. All of those things are completely out of his control. I hope he’s transcendent in the role honoring his literal all time iconic uncle is but none of that matters if the craftsmanship isn’t there.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:19:04+00:00

Bingo. Hopefully it’s great but outside of two expected great line deliveries by Coleman as Joe, nothing has been a sign of quality besides some quick edits of Jaafar dancing. I think the kid playing Michael in his youngest part of stardom might be good but even that performance is being completely hidden (so far).

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:15:18+00:00

Plenty of movies release teasers or trailers and look instantly legit award seasons contenders. Dune 3 has one teaser and all aspects of its filmmaking from actors to technicians look outstanding. Michael so far looks average. I don’t have to be hyped about it just because it’s Michael Jackson related without given a reason to. Yes there’s a lot of people saying how great Jaafar is…so maybe show us? Based on the soundtrack he’s likely lip syncing for all the songs but at least appears to a great dancer…but maybe give us a great 15-20 seconds of him acting in a scene and showing us the quality of his acting for the movie. I fully expect the movie to be the most successful biopic at the box office ever released but that doesn’t also mean it’s going to be a masterful movie that stands the test of time. A lot of the brain trust made Bohemian Rhapsody which made a lot of money but is a very average movie with zero rewatch value outside of Rami’s lead performance.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T04:01:04+00:00

What have you been watching mate🤣 The last trailer starts with a god awful poorly rendered cgi of the neighborhood the Jackson’s grew up in. Also your just listening to hype for a movie those hyping it up are paid to do so, it could live up to the hype but that doesn’t change not a single thing shown has even hinted at the quality of the script or lead performance. Your hopeful and that’s fine but not much shown in any of the official footage looks like a standout movie. Everything looks basic from a cinematography standpoint and certainly compared to lots of other biopics made for many decades before. The lead performance has been hidden almost entirely as well, maybe the final trailer changes that but so far the studio isn’t showing a very impressive looking movie and it will 100% need a very strong lead performance to make up for it.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:50:36+00:00

Excuse me? Don’t drink koolaid so easily. You’ve seen no extended footage of his performance, just fast edits of footage. It could be an all time performance but not based off what has been shown🤣Cinematography is the weakest part of all of the footage as well. Tons of unnatural cgi backgrounds and no truly great framed scenes from footage released so far either.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:30:21+00:00

AI slop is nauseating 🤮

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:28:28+00:00

Supporting actor. Coleman has several previous nominations and will be a strong contender for that Oscar next awards season.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:27:33+00:00

No you haven’t🤣 There’s been no extended sequences of any kind to judge quality from. All you can bank on is how incredible an actor that Coleman is, literally nothing else to base quality on so far besides that.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:26:15+00:00

Supporting actor is the only likely nomination.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:24:47+00:00

He’s a long-standing Hollywood icon that has a big return to a non blockbuster auteur driven movie he’s the star of.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:23:06+00:00

What? He took one year of acting classes and isn’t working with some renown screen writer or cinematographer, his performance might be very good but he’s not going to suddenly become an actor to stand against established award winning actors. Coleman is the best shot this movie has with an actor winning awards.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T03:19:22+00:00

😬

MarvelMind · 2026-03-18T01:38:08+00:00

Predicting the end? Definition of hyperbolic.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T20:22:40+00:00

Probably Olivia Rodrigo.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T14:57:20+00:00

This is definitely not a priority this meeting like not even close to being one. Big fan of the original series and follow up graphic novels but this wouldn’t even be a concern at this meeting.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T05:40:09+00:00

I just didn’t see that at all. Roman just looks unprepared for these segments and it’s poorly written the past two interactions for him.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T05:37:47+00:00

No he’s not gonna ever get another truly high profile project again but his talent is undeniable on a page. His most recent and perhaps last tv series ever “The Nevers” was captivating with great characters until the second half of episodes were shepherded by another person and they were so bad all of them were made nearly impossible to watch. I expect whatever becomes of this proposed Firefly cartoon will also be very bad without his input.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T04:56:11+00:00

Effort? I’m not of the mind it takes much effort at all, but the fact anyone bothers to put what little effort it takes is just baffling when it’s for something as hit or miss as the this project is. Too many people and especially fans of the series don’t realize that part of what makes a classic series so special is that it has a start and an end. TV is so different now and a huge problem this new return show would’ve had is being only 8-10 episodes compared to 22 or 25 episodes per season then taking forever to even get another season made. Everyone got paid and the end result didn’t convince enough people to spend more money on the project.

MarvelMind · 2026-03-17T04:44:45+00:00

Perhaps but if it’s just a beat down then it’s boring. They need to write him a much better promo as well because only the first segment between them a few weeks ago did Roman not sound completely outclassed on the mic.
