I'm assuming you've read dune beforehand?
Discussion
I have not. But reading the book or not doesn’t change the fact that the movie was boring
No, but it puts it in context.
The parts of the movie that are boring are intentionally so in the book.
I understand what you’re saying but that’s not making the movie any better.
I'm not defending the film. It's bad.
I prefer Denis Villeneuve’s approach
Agreed. It does badly abbreviate much of Herbert's work and intention, though.
More of an essential cliff notes version.
Still, Eminently more entertaining and watchable.
That’s always what I wonder: does a movie adaptation need to be the exact rendition of the book to be a solid entertainment. I guess it depends on the book
Not specifically.
There are plenty of entertaining adaptions that are complete departures from the originator's intent, stylistic choices, etc
That said, what is "entertaining" is every bit as subjective as the definition of art.
Warhammer nym/pfp? 👀
Yes
Guess I knew but had to make sure. Cool! I only looked into game/lore fairly recently, and just part time here and there, bot sure why...just draws me in a bit I guess. Painted a few models and got a few more coming. Never played and haven't read rules all the way yet.
Welcome! It's a big strange place.
(Somewhat ironically- all on the borrowed backdrop of Frank Herbert's creation)
It's something that really encompasses the term "hobby".
What minis have you collected/factions you like?
Only got 4 Custodes so far. Mostly done painting but paused before doing finishing touches for some reason (couple months back), then got pulled in by Black Templars recently for some reason and decided to order a slew of them. Reminds me, they should be arriving any day.
What you like? Mechanicus I assume...i liked their general lore a lot (reminded me of the guild from dune lol), but decided they looked like the hardest to assemble so steered clear for time being
Ad mech certainly. Hardest to paint and assemble well IMHO. (Some chaos factions are about equal)
Lore is some of the most fun. A lot of inter faction disagreement and struggle.
