The Dark Shape Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 If you’re awake watch Letterboxd for reactions in around three hours. The first Dune press/industry screening started ten minutes ago. I’m seeing it in two and a half hours but my opinion will almost certainly be wrong. It usually is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorddemaxus Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Lmao Billington didn't get to see this (or was his press status actually removed after the Joker incident)? Edit: No, he went to watch Spencer. Edited September 3, 2021 by lorddemaxus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I guess it's settled then, Dune is a masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well maybe this is the best time for me to vent. 😁 My local theater, and objectively the only theater even remotely close to me worth visiting (especially for something like Dune), shut down two weeks ago due to a catastrophic flooding in the city (apparently two months of rain in two hours). Water damage apparently fucked things up in there, so it had to close for "a while"... and well, it's still closed with no signs of when it might open up again. Dune is opening on the 15th, tickets in the country went on sale today, and here I am holding my breath that this damn theater will open up on time - as I watch the other worthwhile theaters get sold out (yay for Dune). I don't want to have to travel up to 4 hours to see this thing, but I will if this theater doesn't open. But then again I might not even get to make that choice, since I'm hesitant to commit and buy tickets. Bit of a catch-22, very lovely, very exciting. From a once in a hundred year pandemic, to a once in... I dunno 30-50 year weather catastrophy in this location, they're really trying to get me not to see this thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Woke up early just for Dune reactions. Post more! Looking amazing so far. Also, Zimmer is winning the Best Score isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Seems like David Rooney covering the film for THR didn't like it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 From all the films (upon release, pre production, post production, filming, in development or whatever) that i will be heartbroken if i don't get to see it on theaters. Even if i don't like the film eventually it need to be seen on the biggest film possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yeah let's be clear, I can definitely see it in a theater, but unless that theater doesn't open or I decide not to travel 4 fucking hours for the movie, the "largest screen possible" will be supremely pathetic and practically make the endeavour pointless.

Gavin Feng Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Remember, Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival didn't hit 90/100 on MTC. And I suggest people here lower your expectations even if Dune top both of the brilliant Villeneuve works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
