The Batman (spoilers)

[payn]

Maybe I watch too many CinemaSins videos but the "real lasers" in Dune - in the Duncan Idaho fight scene especially - made me say "15,000 years in the future and they're still using knives and pointy sticks to fight instead of the lasers that they can use to cut through steel and concrete instantly."

Vladimir Putin: Ruthless despot willing to kill millions from afar with nuclear missiles and chemical weapons

Vladimir Harkonnen: Purportedly ruthless despot not willing to kill millions from afar with nuclear missiles and chemical weapons and who instead uses knives and pointy sticks.

You've been watching too many cinemasins videos.

And riskdamaging their only source to spice? Why, when he can use the emperor's private army to fight for him?

It's been a while; did they mention in the movie the thing about las-guns hitting shields = explosion killing both parties?

Not sure about the movie. In the books, it creates a nuclear explosion. It's strictly forbidden by Emperor. In the rpg by Modiphius, we are very careful how we use our lasguns.

Nope. Didn't explain it at all. I really respect Villeneuve's decision not to use even a single frame of the film to elucidate the explode-y reaction that occurs when a laser intersects a Holtzmann Effect shield.

It's almost like he was deliberately provoking all those Youtube/social media critics who operate on the assumption that all writers are incredibly stupid.

(or maybe the assumption is their own subscribers are stupid?)

Any amount is too much. And I say this as someone that used to enjoy their videos (I am deeply ashamed of this part of my past).

It's been confirmed that this movie is getting a sequel.

Have you watched Cinema Wins? A much more positive take.

 

[Mezuka]

I'd have to rewatch it again but thinking back on the shots of Bruce there is definitely a silent movie quality to the postures and makeup. Especially when he is at the computer with the black makeup around his eyes. Got a German expressionism vibe.

Yeah, I have. But I've discovered that I don't really like movie "reviews" where the entirety of the "review" has to be either negative or positive. I prefer much more balanced/fair reviews now, like captainmidnight and similar channels.
