Portuguese Empire moment:

I just find it interesting how all of this is happening while Shaddam is chilling at his summer home on Kaitain. Like, he’s not even at his actual palace doing Emperor business. He’s just chilling with his daughter, avoiding the tension, obeying his shame and guilt.

I swear to god the shot at 4:30 is straight off of the cover of a 60's sci-fi novel. Fucking astonishing.

Yup, that's the answer for the people who wondering why emperor allowed to give harkonen much more power than other, no matter how strong they where, the great house will never accept harkonen as ruler, but attreides is different, more than half of great house as attreides supporters so there very high chance attreides will dethroned corinos as news empire house

One thing I never understood when reading the books and watching the movies. The Emperor was getting old, and knew his time was coming to an end. Thinking house Atreides may one day be a threat to him, why wouldn't he forge an alliance and want to embrace the idea of marrying his daughter to Paul, in order to ensure succession, rather than risk tyranny as a result of the Harkonnens gaining too much power? If you knew you had to find a successor to the throne through marriage of your daughter, why would he not consider an honorable house like Atreides and Paul from the get-go?

Shaddam loved Leto like a son, but his fear, pride, and jealousy had overwriten that. I think Baron Harkonnen had been whispering on Shaddam's ear, warning him of Leto's growing popularity, the strength of his House, and the threat it poses to the Corrino Dynasty. Plus Leto was probably too old to marry Irulan.

I wonder what game the Emperor and Irulan are playing. Probably some kind of chesslike, like the "cheops" game mentioned in the glossary.

I haven't watched either of the Dune movies nor read the books. I just played the game since it's release back then. Far more fulfilling. Now there's Open Dune II... but anyway from what i saw of the synopsis, this movie though gave great visuals, maybe, still seem like an ordinary oh-so-common Indian tamil movie about marriage conflicts and enemies to me. That is, minus the fantasies. 😁🤣🤣

Master Piece and IMAX Magic trick

Not gonna lie. When I first found out that Christopher Watkin was going to be the emperor, I was actually kind of annoyed not because he’s a bad actor far from it. He’s one of the best in his craft. But because I felt that being the emperor wasn’t really, a fitting character for him it wasn’t important enough. I felt that he probably should’ve been a much more powerful individual. Yes being the emperor of “the known universe“ may seem like they are extremely powerful. But we all know that the people or individuals with the real power in this universe Are the spacing guild. Aside from obviously the individuals undertaking the stewardship of Arakis. Again, don’t get me wrong. Christopher Walken is a great actor. And as I have already said, he’s one of the best. But again I just felt that the Emperor was almost like a disservice to him. But he pulled it off well.

I think the geopolitical setup was just a plot device rather than a reflection of reasonable reality. For one, the control of Dune seems very weak given its significance. No satellite or drone presence. The Fremen don’t have force fields so the soldiers could engage with lasguns which means their tactics would be much different than shown.

Leto expected something, but not that early. What more was the sudden betrayal by Yu Wei that nobody saw coming. Hence, it was a surprise 🤷‍♀️ We don't get the reactions of the other major Houses, but I'd assume they were rather surprised Atreides was just gone in a night

I get it that they decided to use Alia as a pre-born more, but I don't think they should've hurry the story in order to fit it into few months. After all, controlling their bodies is what Bene Gesserit do by default, it is safe to assume that they can slow down the pregnancy rate until it is safe to bear a child

HOT TAKE: I think this is the best opening scene in the movies in this century. I love ir so much. Firstly, it's looks absolutely beatiful and very atmospheric. Insane shots. Insane soundtrack and amazing unique atsmosphere. It'a literally amazing scene for understanding this lore. Dramatic, epic, futurustic, complex and variety lore. Secondly, before Arrakis, how they perfectly showed the Emperor and his reaction to Leto's death, it was very accurate. Shaddam loved Leto as his son, but still he strove for power and therefore killed him, which was very painful for him as a man. Walken did amazing job. Same like Pugh. Just 2 minutes moment, but amazing adaptation

What are you talking about?

You're calling. Those worms. All wrong...wrong tone. You need more cowbell.

Reverend Mother Mohiam played on the Emperor's weaknesses to manipulate him - the standard Bene Gesserit control tactic. Shaddam was insecure, jealous, and fearful and that was used to overcome his love for Duke Leto. Remember - Leto never married Jessica specifically as a political ploy to remain "eligible" for potential marital alliances with one of the other houses. He never intended to go through with it and in the end regretted not marrying Jessica. Shaddam was manipulated with his own frailties into using house Harkonnen to eliminate the one house that truly would have supported him as Emperor. Duke Leto would never have broken faith with Shaddam, but Shaddam was corrupt and could not believe everyone else wasn't just as corrupt.

I've read the book, seen the other treatments, seen the clips of this one. I don't think it adds anything so I won't be paying to see it in full. Reading the book and using your imagination is more powerful than any movie. Old school.

Back in the mid-eighties me and my brothers Ricky and Randy got drunk and dropped a shit ton of acid cause Randy said it would go bad in the heat and we seen Dune and it was fuckin awesome but also scary because I had no idea worms got that huge and we were tripping pretty hard like I said. After we seen the movie we went out to the beach to drink and shit and Ricky starts stompin his foot an I says wtf are you even doing and Ricky says he’s calling worms. So now I’m flipping out because I ain’t going out that way and Randy starts beating on Ricky but he’s trying to do it quiet and without rhythm because of the worms. It was pretty fd up because we were tripping so bad and that movie freaked me out and also we were drinking and that was the first night I huffed gas. It was a f’d up entire day really. That summer Ricky got knocked out by a donkey kick and rolled into the cow pond and drowned. It was kind of funny because the pond is full of cow shit and bullheads but also not funny cause I miss him. This comment is dedicated to him. I think he would have liked the new Dune and gotten really drunk.

I have loved this film and the other renditions. I have read the book a couple of times now. This new Dune film is probably the best of all the screen adaptations. However, my one criticism is Christopher Walken as the Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. Mr Walken is a great actor but in this role, he seemed more like an out dated hippy that never grew out of it all. I liked the other emperors from the other adaptations better. Apart from that one personnel issue, the two latest part one and two films are splendid. 😀👍

Update: I've been watching a few clips in anticipation of Dune 2, and I would like to double down: She's a bad actor. Distractingly bad. How do these people get into these movies? I thought there was a process? There are people whose sole job is to pick good actors for movies. You've seen those "you had one job" memes? Like the road stripe that goes over the dead armadillo? Well, Zendaya is the Hollywood equivalent of that.

Great movies, but y'ah know, some stuff not adding up. Like why didn't the Fremen leave Arrakis? What was they fighting for? There was nothing they could do with the spice. They didn't even use the spice. What were they fighting for? The planet was technically inhabitable. What were the Fremen eating? What crops could grow on that planet? Basically few. What animals could they eat? It was a wrap. Why didn't they find another planet to live on? The story ain't adding up. 🤷🏾‍♂

Christopher Walken as the Emperor is mis casted

I don't like how the emperor is depicted in this film. He loks like an alzheimer patient. In the David Lynch film he is strait away a powerful consiprancy plotter. In the 2000 miniseries, he is a powerful aristocrat. Both those old performances conveyed that the emperor is a vilain with immense power. Cristopher Walken is a fantastic actor to play vilains. But this interpetation of the emperor make us pitty him.
