My 2 cents. While a person of normal proportions, he's probably not your "man's man" but a tiny, scrawny man. Probably very insecure about himself. Being assigned to a double entendre with a small person, Kenny Baker, did not help his self-esteem. He probably dreaded the idea of touring with Baker and further strengthening his association with the person whom he considered inferior and "unworthy" of his company. He perhaps had other ideas about his career. He has very few acting credits under his belt, mostly supporting roles in TV productions, that were not SW-related. He couldn't shake off the "golden rod" image. The only way to earn money probably kept him tied to it. But he drew the line when it came to touring with Kenny Baker. That he could not have been able to bear.
I understand your sentiment, but that's just not true.
My guess is that he snubbed him on purpose. Maybe he coudn't stand his dorkiness and the Short Round schtick he seems not to be able to shake off. Downey is very opinionated. I don't think it was a spur of the moment thing.
The character of Chani was destroyed by Villeneuve even before Zendaya stepped in with her "acting" I'm afraid.
In De Palma's Blow Out (1981) he played a seedy photographer. No cop.
In Psycho II, he was the sleazebag motel manager. No cop.
Now I see that MacLachlan's casting was perfect one. He was convincing both as an inexperienced novice, and later as the Fremen leader. He had the gravitas.
I thought she was really bad. Others struggled, but she was like frowning and smirking, like she was in a Nikelodeon production. So hammy.
Actually, as someone who is generally disappointed with most of the performances in the movie, I thought Chalamet did well given the material he's got. I mean, it's an impossible role to play: a boy-messiah-god-conqueror. It's rediculous. And I think he did his best, so I'd give him a break. It's Zendaya who's just terrible.
They want to gender-swap the cop/detective trope. They want to lecture the world, "See, women can be every bit as sexually aggressive as those macho cops before them." And they are hammering it down. When they are not cruising for sex, they search through Tinder profiles on their phones. And I don't think Jodie Foster likes it, because you can see she doesn't quite align with the role she's playing.
There were great examples of women playing the traditionally male roles, and Jodie Foster's own Clarice Starling is case in point. But these were interesting movies because women lent their femininity and "woman touch" to otherwise tough and male-driven surroundings. They relied on their intelligence and subtlety, often upstaging their male counterparts. That was fun to watch.
But this show throws it out the window. They want to say, "Women can be masculine and even be desired for it." It's agenda.

Well what kind of a cop is she needed a hint to realize that people occasionally lie.
Have you seen the toxic feminism in Season 4? Have you seen that muscular, colored woman in one of the title roles visiting some white guy and basically raping him. They made sure to show their intercourse as exclusively her gratification and domination.
Terribly shoehorned. And they were making out in public. So unrealistic given the nazi-fascist environment. Yes, the Neutral Zone is pretty bad, too. So, it's not enough to show gays descretely being gay, they have to do it out in the open, in "pride" mode.
I'd love to see Hunter boning Zendaya.
She bones well. The nudity is not the only thing here. Her face is often shown in long close-ups while orgasming, accompanied by loud groans. If this wasn't a progressive film advancing the liberation of female sexuality, I'd call Emma a little c**k-loving sl*t.
Exactly. Looks like it was made in 2002.
Because they are CGI.
Totally wrong idea. How could you invest yourself in the exploits of these scumbags that you know would later get humiliated and killed off one by one by a barefoot NY cop. Not passable even as anti heroes.
You can't terraform it. It has only 30% of earth's gravity. I don't think that's sufficient to hold a breathable atmo even if you were able to create one.
[QUOTE] The whole movie seemed to me like just some mish-mash thrown together.[/QUOTE]
Totally agree. The story world resembled that of some lame video game. You have AI-enabled "sims" all over the place, and yet people still live off subsistence farming in straw huts?! Of course, their intent was to make it look like it was a Vietnam War movie, but, that's just daft playing it just for the looks, ignoring the logic and consistency storywise.
