Really digging the subtle little arc that Paul goes on from when he and Jessica arrive at Sietch Tabr and he says "I must sway the non-believers" (I don't think he means convert them to the prophecy; I think he means convince them to follow his lead politically; but still seeing the Fremen as a tool to be used in his personal revenge quest), to when they're talking before Jessica leaves for the south and he says he's staying in the north to fight but that "they deserve to be led by one of their own" (ie. I'm in this fight because I believe in it but I don't expect to gain anything for myself and actually I probably shouldn't).

The fact that Paul is only becoming more convinced that he is nothing special at the same time that people are starting to worship him. The fact that his own mother is doing everything possible to accelerate that process and the two of them keep moving further and further apart (literally, he is going north and she is going south). The fact that people keep telling him he should just reach out and take the power that's available to him (Jessica with the prophecy, Gurney with the nukes), it's so simple, look, it's right there waiting for you, it's your birthright, wouldn't this makes things easier? The fact that he resists all of these arguments right up until the attack on Sietch Tabr, and that it's his best, most human impulses (grief over watching his home be destroyed again and guilt that he should have seen it coming; if he'd just seen more clearly or understood the visions better--) that make him finally decide to step onto the path that dooms him and everyone else.

I need more unhinged mothers and their monstrous offspring.

I need more of whatever this shit is:

"What have you done to me?"

"I gave birth to you."

And also:

"Do you love me?"

"You imbecile."

Zendaya slapping her way to Oscars 2025 😅 with Timothee Chalamet in DUNE:PART TWO (2024) & Josh O'Connor in CHALLENGERS (2024).

#zendaya #chani #challengers #dune part two #chani x paul #patrick x tashi #timothee chalamet #with her left and right hand! impressive! #josh o'connor #i hope she puts Chani up for Oscsr consideration instead of Tashi : it has more layers than Tashi and DUNE 2 is a better made movie #i really like the second gif coz the loop is so funny: his pre dlapped face looks like a reaction to the slap #i do love a gif with a good loop - which is why i make them so rarely 😄 theyre so much work!

was informed today that bill skarsgård was not. in fact. the bald white guy in dune 2

#i cannot believe #like thanks mads i needed to know but also i really thought i was good with faces #dune part two #dune 2 #bill skarsgård #feyd rautha #austin butler #bill skargard

[acabspocky]

Y'know there is a really heartbreaking lack of Duncan/Paul/Feyd.

Like we have enough imagination to get Paul pregnant, do we not have enough imagination to put Paul between two hotties?

Ffs

#what this really means is I'm the only one thinking about it #am i depraved? yes #do i care? no. #literally just put the twink between the two ruthless warriors and call it a day folx #like what if Duncan AND Feyd BOTH got Paul pregnant? #That would be like the kwizats haderach cubed or some shit #idk i was bad at that part of math #dune #paul atreides #feyd rautha #duncan idaho #feypaul x atreidaho #why am i like this

Paul Atreides is sooooo T.E. Lawrence coded

#lol yes ik dune is partially inspired by him and the arab revolt #it was a very interesting movie(s) to watch when ive just been intensely learning abt + #the history of colonization in the middle east for the past month or so #i kept thinking. man this is just like [insert history] #and it def especially reminded me of lawrence of arabia #it felt like LoA if it was sci-fi and much more intense and yknow if Lawrence went a lot further #just a lot of scenes in part two really reminded me of stuff from that film #okay also other thoughts: #MANNNNNN I LOVE JAVIER BARDEM'S CHARA #hes soooooooo!!!!!!! #something about deep loyalty and belief really gets at me. and also he was very fun and silly sometimes :)) #hes so ride or die!! #also there was a ring kissing scene. and yeah. man..that gives me drawing ideas for you know what #catie.rambling.txt #dune

me considering watching Dune Part Two and realising I'd legitimately rather reread Dune

#the context is that 1) i am a very avid movie watcher and far less avid book reader #and 2) reading 'dune' felt like putting my head through a giant cheese grater #so if i would rather reread the book than watch part two of the latest adaptation......... maybe i really did not care for part one #and maybe denis villeneuve peaked at 'arrival' for me personally :| #i'm glad he's living his best highbrow auteur life or whatever but like.... i'm bored. bye #EDIT oooh maybe i'll rewatch the lynch one instead LMAO *man tapping his head wisely dot gif* #or wait! i could watch the miniseries! i actually haven't seen that one. yeah i'm gonna watchlist that right now actually.

[barbie-nightmare-house]

watching the new dune took up too much storage now I’m getting pop ups telling me to delete that shit from my hard drive

#I can’t update with tim Cham all allat in my head #excuse me being a hater but I would like to ignore his existence #but my stepfather is a sci fi nerd and I have young siblings #and that primeval two toothed plague-carrier is in every god damn thing #should’ve taken beautiful boy and went back to his French hovel to hold the candle over the pages a sage monk is scribing #it was a fine film and I just got overstimulated #but ewwwwww fuckkkkking grossssssssssss #I hate sand #outfits were fucking cool tho I liked the part where the worms had one billion threadlike teeth #and also the part where religious allegory #really liked all those sexy bald bitches that ate other peoples organs #dune spoilers #maybe it was okay and I just needed to talk it out #now I can sleep. #trash bin tag #Chevy watches

DUNE

Y'ALL. LISTEN.

So I went to the movies to see Dune part 2 last night. And holy shit it was AMAZING. I've been a fan of the book for a long time, and since the first movie came out in 2021, I have been dreaming of getting more of it in movie form. Denis Villeneuve did a fantastic job of adapting the story and universe into a cinematic masterpiece. It was just wonderful.

And there's so much I could say about it, about its aesthetic, its music, its ambiance, the sound design, the technical and artistic prowess its artists and technical artists have displayed to create this masterwork of a film. There's so much to say, and yet, I have no words to describe just how much its visuals and story inspire me to create.

I have the first movie's artbook as well as its OST saved in my Spotify playlists, and I'll admit, I haven't opened the book or listened to the music in a while. Seeing Dune part 2 yesterday has made me want to listen and look through it all again. It has inspired me to create something once more, something new, something that is of my own design.

And I'll forever be grateful to Denis Villeneuve and his team, as well as the actors, musicians and all types of artists involved in the creation of this film – because yes, all of them are creatives and artists at heart.

I'm grateful to all of you for reigniting the creative spark inside me that had nearly died out a while ago.

I may not know all of your names, and quite frankly will only ever see them in the credits of this film, or in other movies' credits as well. I may not know all of your faces either, and likely never will. But I still thank you.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

#dune #dune movie #dune part two #dune part ii #dune part 2 #movie review #I swear these movies are absolute gems #everything about them is so good #I've had to research some things about the first one for a school project last year #Did you guys know Hans Zimmer actually *created* instruments for the movie soundtrack in the first Dune??? #Like I was really surprised about that fact #Anyways I'm done rambling

[catgirlcommie]

i read the first dune book in high school and i liked it but i had problems and i didn't know at all that there were other books written by frank herbert (i had thought that all the books that came afterwards were written by his kids or something) but apparently the second and third books are about how paul is actually a monster and not a hero at all

#i need to reread the first book and then read the other two because man like if it's well written #it would fix a lot of the problems i have with the first dune book #like paul in the first book (from my memory) felt more like he was being dragged along to the future he saw with no input on his part #(which apparently the movie changed which is really cool because other wise it makes paul a tragic hero #when he's supposed to be a monster) #anyway the second book is about how he's like the worst monster in the universe #it's so wild that no one talks about the second and third books #are they just not as entertaining with herbert's dry writing not having the heroes journey to rely upon?

#currently watching #dune part two #picked this poster because it looks like a giant chihuahua is chasing them in the sand and it makes me laugh #edit: it really takes me out of the movie that everyone has an accent apart from Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya #edit 2: I guess I kind of get Timothée Chalamet but isn’t Zendaya supposed to have been born and raised with these folk? #edit 3: I cannot be the only one who thinks these two have zero chemistry? great actors but I’m like 🤷‍♀️ every time they share the screen #edit 4: counter to that spent the whole movie thinking Austin Butler was going to kiss everyone he was on screen with so there’s that #edit 5: I liked it way more than the first Dune

my brain is starting to release chemicals as a treat. I've finished three books since last month.

#🐇 #I'm not gonna start any new ones I'm putting my foot down and finishing the other two I was reading first #yes I was reading three books at once get off my back #it's gonna be hard though I bought the exorcist and it's staring at me like 👁👄👁 #I really would love to read dune too but I might have to work on my attention span more for that one with the world building #it's a little embarrassing because I read the hobbit/lotr in elementary school and didn't have any issues retaining all of the details #but we're gonna do it we're gonna get back to it. no one wants to see part 2 with me so let's just read dune instead am I right

[allpromarlo]

looking back on it i’m glad i watched dune 2 in german both times bc if i had to sit there and hear one of them mfs say “atreydees” idk what i would’ve done

#ATREYDEES??? no bitch its ATRE-I-DES #idc if frank herbert himself called it that it just sounds wrong #like literally so many of the character and place names sound so much better in german i’m sorry its just a fact #not to mention the voices… #i saw a clip on twt from the scene where paul talks almost exclusively in chakobsa and…why did the german voice eat more #like i’m sawry i really am #but whatever the movie was fucking fantastic #the harkonnen scenes were a lil…interesting but that last act made up for it #also i’m sorry i read the book but i had to laugh when paul said he was gonna marry princess irulan RIGHT in front of chani #chani and paul in the most devastating situationship ever #like wdym white boy #but also like lemme be honest. i’d do the same thing #florence pugh is so ugh. 10/10 #let me not start #dune part two #dune part 2 #house atreides #idk dude
