Calling it first.

After Barbenheimer, Avengers: Dunesday.

    Oh it's no secret, studios saw the cultural phenomenon of barbenheimer and now try to manufacture it for profit. They did the same with wicked last year with some other flop of a movie. They're actively trying to make it happen again, trying to seem young and hip.

    I’m loving the dune movies so far and I can’t wait to watch part three.

    They're my favourite movies since LOTR and absolute fucking masterpieces of cinema imo.

    They're another example of "this shit is unfilmable" being turned into amazing films.

    I like the casting of Anya Taylor Joy to play Paul's sister too because she's a weird looking fucking alien person and is perfect for the role of psycho fetal hallucinogenic syndrome person.

    What do you mean fight? I will gladly watch Dune part 3 multiple times before I watch Marvel again.

    No problem, I’ll just pirate both of them.

    No! Well, yeah, sure... but secretly, on the surface one must maintain the petty clickbait controversy facade, like Blur vs Oasis back in the 90s. Or more recently, In 'n' Out vs Five Guys.

    The only manufactured controversy I've seen with the last two is shit that claims Five Guys is good.

    In-N-Out is vastly superior, saying that as a dirty West Coast-ian. I may be biased, but I'm also right /s

    In-N-Out is cheaper and more consistent than literally every other fast food in the country.

    at this point there is no fight... Disney ruined Marvel (as they ruin every IP they buy), Dune is great... there is no contest here

    Dune wins, no contest.

    How about "neither"?

  • source
  • [–] 3 points 10 months ago

    Sweet.

    Both will, of course, need to compete with the one of the Captain Americas, a couple of Marx Brothers movies, and a that one backwards one (Tenant) that I'm excited for, but haven't found time to see, yet.

    I didn't make the call to enshitify streaming services, or run 37 minutes of ads before every feature film, but it definitely changed how I enjoy movies.

    Anyway. I bet I will get around to seeing Dune and Doom. I might even watch them during a holiday.

    There is no need to fight. I have love enough for both of them.

    I kind of feel like an asshole nerd. I only want to watch DUNC 3 to see if it pisses off the fans of DUNC 1 & 2 who misunderstood them.

    given my excitement about modern media. I very much doubt it.

    I have no plans to watch either.

    Yay, more movies based on existing IP that I couldn't give a shit about. Woo.

    Whenever I see stories like this, I realize how out of the loop I am. Dune, like Avatar, is a franchise I just cannot convince myself to get excited about.

    White messiah movie vs white messiah movie

  • source

  • [–] 17 points 10 months ago

    Dune is not a white savior story though, and neither is Dune Messiah (which Frank Herbert wrote in part to make that message as clear as possible). While Paul is trying to be a savior figure, he's using everyone for his own ends the entire time. The top comment on this wonderful video says it best:

    Dune’s entire historical narrative has always been, “Beware of the Tyrant wrapped in Savior clothing.”

    Dune isn't exactly a messiah movie, although it's literally based on the book Dune Messiah.

    I mean, the whole thing is meant to be a cautionary tale rather than a feel good movie. It's an anti white messiah movie. But yeah I guess technically it is about a white messiah, so you're not wrong, but real weird to refer to it that way

    I've seen both already so thanks. All Marvel movies are basically the same and the new Dune is just a slower version of the old one. I saw some of it and it's literally the same movie scene for scene but each scene has some unnecessary filler and is twice as long.

  • source

    The choice will be more supercape shit or more vainglorious Dune shit.

    Hard pass on both.

    I didn't realize Dune 3 had already been shot and was in post production. I thought Villeneuve had another project in line before Dune 3, but I guess not.

    If Avengers is going to move dates they better do it quick. The marketing has a countdown and it will be weird if you have to adjust that timer.

    I don't see a "Dunesday" trend happening, both films are probably 2.5+ hours and people just aren't going to see them back to back in December.

    My guess is Dune moves up a few weeks.

    People can't go see both? Seems dumb to try and stir up resentment for either movie.

    Or... I could just go see it another day? Do they know that movies are on cinema for more than 1 day?

    Because they are on the same date the whole opening weekend think with Hollywood reporting is the context of "stealing views".

    It's stupid and you are right.

    Dune 3 is the movie I'm most excited about. I'd read all the books as a school kid. I'd listened to the audiobooks during COVID. I even watched the 1980s movie with Sting. Fair to say, I am a bit of a fan.

    how many times can the same group of people talk about then save the “world” before it gets boring

    Only if you're interested in Dune 3...

    They definitely won't. Dune is boring as watching shit dry and Marvel has burned through all their good will long ago.
