[@DaHammerOfGod]

It was not Dr. Yueh, this was an Atreides council member that sat at the big table meeting in Dune part 1. The character's name was Lt. Lanville. He was the IRL fight coordinator for both films

[@Chaddledee]

@@RILEYismyname Also re: the Feyd Paul bisexual energy, Paul was meant to be born a girl that the Bene Gesserit wanted to marry Feyd Rautha in order to produce the Kwisatz Haderach. Could potentially be a nod to that - they have basically been engineered to be compatible.

[@deek60819]

he's in a few scenes throughout the first part. when the atreides are landing on arrakis for the first time he's the guy who says "shields!", also shouts "hey!" when stilgar first approaches duke leto

[@wathsi99]

Giedi Prime's sunlight scenes are shot in infrared lensed cameras. Hence, the harsh contrast and awesome alien feel.

[@CockatooDude]

Just to be pedantic, pretty much any lens can transmit IR, but there is usually a filter in front of the sensor that blocks it. So they technically shot those scenes with infrared filterless cameras.

[@wathsi99]

@@CockatooDude yep. There's a great discussion with Fraser in Dolby channel on Dune 2.

[@philharland]

Looked cheap and frankly very lacklustre conveying no sense of grandeur. Like a 2nd rate Gladiator scene. The lack of colour screamed amateurish film & demands acceptance due to the lack of colour in the whole movie. The weird fireworks just looked gimmicky. Can imagine the storyboard yes men giving it the thumbs up & patting each other on the back.

[@system0fadowner251]

​​@@santinojoshuatorre1695 Picard was pretty good in season 3, but yeah, studios need to stop giving beloved franchises to people that don't understand or even like the source material. Denis is proof that finding people passionate about the IP is crucial to being successful

[@hexedits369]

🤝

[@stephenmcdonagh2795]

Raised by Wolves was a really good sci fi series that got cancelled. Season one was brilliant and still worth a watch. It's so rare to watch anything today that isn't pushing woke nonsense, some series' have had me switching off within five minutes.

[@tycho_m]

Denis Villeneuve, Alex Garland and to some extent Christopher Nolan are really carrying the genre forward imo. Honorable mention for the early seasons of The Expanse!

[@phasednotfazed]

That's the point of Rabban's character though. He's basically a meat head with no rationale or inquisitive thought. He's supposed to be a character that is a bit intimidating but ultimately weak minded and easy to control and manipulate. I think his portrayal was spot on 👌🏼

[@333dae]

Yeah, he's loud and strong but really it's all a facade, his explicit cruelty is just a cover he puts on in front of the real cruel sadists Vladimir and Feyd-Rautha

[@SuperStella1111]

I loved his big whip moment. Pulling it out, being stabbed by Gurney Halleck half a second later. All that threat, all that bluster. Gone.

[@overbeb]

He's also terrified of his uncle and the wrath coming his way, he allows the fear to consume him.

[@Suntoria236]

45:57 Those aren’t gernades, those are the water canisters used to store the water extracted from those Harkonenn soldier

[@MattSipka]

In that scene, Stilgar even says that the water they extract from the Harkonnens are filled with chemicals so it can’t be used for drinking, but still useful for cooling units.

[@AdeptCharon]

The Atreides soldier in the arena was Lanville. He was in like 17 unrelated scenes in Part One in the background. And played by Roger Yuan, the actual stunt/fight coordinator of the movie.

[@TerryBrand-f7d]

[@ScoffMathews]

In the books there's a deal between the fremen and the guild to not allow ships to fly or record the south of the planet, that's why nobody knows what's there. The deal is spice, obviously.

[@tedzards509]

But the guild was rpetty much scrapped out of the movie. Thats why they had to resort to nuking the spuce fields... I honestly hated that part.

[@MuadDiiib]

@@tedzards509 same :/

[@ScoffMathews]

@@MuadDiiib i'm also sad about mentats being kinda sent to the background/erased. It was a big reveal to know that the baron had tricked Thufir

[@SamiKarvinen]

@@ScoffMathews It was, but I also realize that there is so much you can fit into a 3 hour movie. Villeneuve has said that there were a lot of cut scenes, including multiple mentat scenes both in this and first movie, but that he just couldn't fit them in with the pacing and the running time of the films. The intrigue had to be simplified, and that kind of meant making these mostly from the Bene Gesserit perspective.

[@sonofrobert]

There wasn't enough info in these movies. Lynch had more info for the viewers.

[@bendova_smith]

Return of the KINGS?!?

[@sameehkins5957]

Or the Lihsan Al Gaibs?

[@introdevious]

This is the best thing to happen since dune 2

[@jmcknight00]

Something people are missing is that the Bene Gesserit training that both Jessica and Paul have undergone grants them, at its highest level, control of their bodies on the cellular -- and therefore indirectly the molecular -- level. That's how they neutralize the poisons. But that is *also* what grants them the memories of the past -- by accessing that level of minuteness and complexity, they're also granted access to DNA (mitochondrial also), RNA, etc. And the idea is that their is a shared pool of memory stored up in the gene pool, so to speak. This also answers how Jessica and Alia communicate: they are already attached via the placenta, and communicate *chemically*.

[@trofim9059]

[@MAXaddictable]

46:20 They were harvesting the water from the Harkonnen corpses and also taking the ammo to use in the war. That was my understanding and I think for instance that that's how they got the bazooka to take down the gunship protecting the harvestor. Afterwards they just left the scraps to be cleaned up by the worms.

[@xijinpooh4529]

i want you guys to know that you have the best voices when it comes to movie podcasts. your insights and just general dynamic with each other are a step above other movie podcast shows. i am so so glad that you guys brought this back.

There’s a really good interview with the direction of Dune Part 2 about how he incorporated that part of Paul from the second book into the second movie without needing to wait for a greenlit part 3. Really amazing stuff all around. Great job Frank and Denise and crew ❤

With Gurney and Paul, there was a throwback to when they used to train. Paul knew it was him because of his footsteps.

[@Fayker]

Paul says the line, when is first sets foot in the spice field with his father, he is kneeling at the spice extractor, and says the line... and them Gurney wakes him up from spice trance.

[@Aegeus42]

I think for part one Paul saying that line was directed to the grandfather worm not gurney. As mentioned that the Lisan Al Gaib would know the ways of the desert even the inhabitants.

[@smsry]

I'm so glad i watched the first movie a day before Dune 2, because i wouldn't have caught callbacks like these on my 2 year old memory of 1

[@PNWISLNDR]

The movie was massive. Huge scapes, huge arenas, huge battles, huge soundtrack . . . and huge worms. I've been having a hard time putting words to how and why I enjoyed the movie so much.

[@woo1818]

There was a story

[@sscillitani]

I think the reason for the smaller blades is that in order to get through the shields you need to be slow and deliberate. The more velocity the more the shield will repel. So big swings with a sword would bounce off and be awkward to control. Where a knife lets you get in close and apply the correct pressure to get through the shield.

[@xijinpooh4529]

after i watched the movie my first thought was "damn, it sucks that the podcast is over now, i would have loved to hear what those 3 thought about this movie" and now i see this in my subscription feed??? WE ARE SO BACK BABYYY!!!

28:58 in a recent interview, Denis actually said that he hates dialogue and wants to do as much as possible without talking

[@pair_of_fins]

This is what made Nolan's Tenet so mediocre, it relied so heavily on exposition it took away from what made the movie conceptually interesting

[@cazzah49]

Many people use it to lampoon Denis but I think of the quote like the thing they say about engineering. Great engineering is not when you have nothing left to add but when you have nothing left to take away. If something in dialogue can be said instead by visuals, music, cinematography etc. Then say it using those instead. Your movie is great not when you've added everything they can possibly say in dialogue but when there's nothing you can cut from the dialogue.

[@codybischoff1010]

I don’t know how you could watch the end of the movie and think Paul felt like the good guy, it’s implied pretty heavily with the “Take them to paradise” that Paul is gonna go on a galactic wide death march

[@Belak-gq3wt]

It’s so heavily implied. I think the best scene that encapsulates it is the dream telling scene. Paul is so enrapturing that the audience is swept up in it, but the score and Chani’s reactions make it clear that this is not a good thing that is happening. Also, the kissing of the ring and the stomp are so perfect.

[@GabrielHays-j8b]

Yeah, he just didn't feel like the bad guy. It was weird. You were worried he could do something insane, but after seeing how bad everyone else was, you still kinda rooted for him. I was never once horrified by his turn

[@Belak-gq3wt]

@@GabrielHays-j8b I think that the bad thing he did is to use the Fremen, and we already know that it will end in a war with billions dead. One of the last lines is Paul acknowledging the coming of a Holy War, and the Fremen religiously following Paul into it. He is an anti-hero, not a straight villain. He predicted the future and picked the least bad option, in this case being the practical enslavement of the Fremen and jumping into a Holy War.

[@GabrielHays-j8b]

@@Belak-gq3wt so if the best moral option to go to holy war is he bad or actually not bad?

39:52 I took it as Chani involuntarily taking part in the "Prophecy " when Jessica used the voice on her. Her name meaning "Desert Spring" and the Lisan Al Gaib recovering at a desert spring or something like that, was a way for Jessica to frame that act as fulfilling the prophecy.

They shot the black and white on a modified ARRI LF infrared camera so it has a very dramatic contrast look with beautiful dynamic range.
