I don't get all the positive praise this trailer is getting on Youtube. It has the look and feel of a TV movie with some bad CGI inserted to make the scale larger. The worm at the end actually looks more fake than the ones from the Lynch film 35 years ago. The set and costume design from Lynch's "Dune" blows this away.
Also, this is only half the story of "Dune," so it's going to end on a cliffhanger. This movie is going to bomb exceptionally big.
It looks very bland to me. It looked like a stage play during the one on one acting with some obvious CGI for the larger sets. Everything looks dull, black and grey. Also, Paul does comes off like a moody Kyle Ren type. Did you also notice Paul replaces “jihad” with “crusade.” This is going to be PC.
I can't see how they can salvage this series. All they managed to do with these three sequels was basically re-accomplish everything that was already accomplished in the original trilogy with Emperor Palpatine being killed yet again and the rebels winning yet again. It's crazy that JJ Abrams is given yet another franchise over at DC to ruin as he did this and Star Trek before.
I don't know what it is about Playboy interviews, but it seems to have been commonplace back in the day for celebrities to say outrageous and provocative things in their Playboy interviews.
The only hyper sensitive person here is you. I called them fat people. I'm pretty sure that's not proper vernacular for a woke person to use.
I could see him not liking the script. I'm surprised Jamie Lee Curtis came back because they turned her character into basically a mentally retarded person. I haven't seen it in years, but I remember her acting like a helpless baby and that ridiculous ambulance driver falling in love with her.
The soundtrack was definitely a letdown. I imagine Paul Anderson was a fan of techno-rave music and used it even though it doesn't help the movie at all.
I remember back in 2012 at ComicCon Paul Anderson said that the original 130 minute cut had been found on VHS, so maybe they'll splice it together as they did to Alien 3 and Exorcist 3.
I object to the race change of Larry Underwood. They did the same thing in the "Salem's Lot" miniseries from 2004 with the Matt Burke character and that was a terrible choice.
It wasn't only overpopulation that was the problem in "Soylent Green." Thorn mentioned that there was an out of control green house effect that made it a heatwave all year long where nothing could grow, so like Venus millions of years ago, Earth would eventually become to hot to sustain life. As Thorn said, "Ocean's dying, plankton's dying..." The Earth was doomed.
King claims to have written and shelved "Pet Sematary" a few years, probably 1980, before it was published in 1983, so that makes the similarities even more strange.
The filming for "Zeder" ended in August of 1982 and "Pet Sematary" was published in November of 1983.
Hard to believe it's still standing untouched after all these years.
It's also been established in "Generations" that Klingons have a terrible stench, which seems kind of racist in retrospect. Remember when Dr. Soran waved his hand in front of his face to get the smell of the Klingon sisters away.
I'm not saying there is. Go ahead and shame away. It was just something I noticed in his flicks.
Like making nearly 7000 posts on an Internet message board?
I remember when this was shown unannounced on ABC in L.A. after "Monday Night Football" in the mid 1970s whenever a game finished early. It seemed to be the go-to movie they aired whenever that happened. I remember when the opening scene began I knew right away it was "The Omega Man" and it felt like Christmas morning and a Disneyland ride rolled into one when it came on. I never felt that way about any other movie as a kid.
Great movie. The movie oozes with the early 1970s. Watching it is like going back in time. I especially love the cutting edge tech, like Neville's 8-track car stereo.
I couldn't concur more. "OUATIH" didn't have anything to say. It was just a vehicle to show off all the props that Tarantino could find from 1969. Pitt was a plank of wood and DiCaprio sounded like a second-rate Elvis impersonator. It made me sick to hear all the sci-fi fans fantasizing of how awesome a Quentin Tarantino "Star Trek" movie will be. Glad it's no more. All his movies since "Pulp Fiction" are lampoons of other genres.
Burton and Depp have kept going on the fumes from their "Ed Wood" glory days for awhile with increasingly bad movie after bad movie. I think they just finally used it up.
I knew something wasn't right with him when he won the Academy Award for "Titanic" and proclaimed himself "I'm king of the world." Most seemed to think he was being funny using the line from the movie, but there was always something cringey about that way he said it. Like he believed it.
