“Dune” director Denis Villeneuve is still bothered that his latest sci-fi epic will premiere day-and-date in theaters and HBO Max, saying that his film was made for the big screen and not for televisions.

Villeneuve in a new interview with Total Film said that the pandemic is the “enemy of the cinema” and acknowledged the “tremendous pressure” that the industry is under, but he doubled down on some of his previous comments about the film’s move to streaming.

“The way it happened, I’m still not happy. Frankly, to watch ‘Dune’ on a television, the best way I can compare it is to drive a speedboat in your bathtub,” Villeneuve said in an interview published Tuesday. “For me, it’s ridiculous. It’s a movie that has been made as a tribute to the big-screen experience.”

but how many people have got surround systems they can be proud of. I have got a massive Sony TV, cinema projector and Bose surround sound system (which sounds amazing) but it still doesn't beat the cinema experience. I would argue that if you was going to make the effort to see one film at the cinema this year that it should be this one. The cinematography is going to phenomenal.

Re: Films to see in 2021

Not as manly have surround sound setups. I've got an AV amp and quite a good setup but I know some people who aren't that bothered.

I still like the cinema too but since covid more people would rather watch films at home than go out to a cinema.

It was the busiest I have seen it in a long time for Shang Chi yesterday. I would say it was half full which isn't bad at all for a Friday lunchtime when everyone is at work or at school. I hope things pick up because films like Shang Chi and Dune deserve to do well. I think Shang Chi is going to get a massive boost from the Chinese market.

Sony Pictures has once again moved the release date of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” announcing on Monday that it will be pushed up two weeks from Oct. 15 to Oct. 1. It was initially slated to premiere Sept. 24.

The move keeps the Marvel tentpole film in what is expected to be a busy October at the box office, but now puts it one week ahead of MGM’s James Bond film “No Time to Die” and three weeks ahead of Warner Bros.’ blockbuster “Dune,” which received praise following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

I can take a guess as its titled resurrection, so as also explained in previous movies the matrix repeats afresh every so often. Looks like the machines have decided that in order to prevent this they are keeping Neo alive and subdued by giving him blue pills. However others have other ideas, and so begins trying to free Neo and get him to remember who he is.

me too. If they did another film I was expecting a prequel so I am surprised they are doing a sequel and brining him back. He looked very dead to me the last time we saw him. I hope they give us some audience satisfaction and they continue with the story like the John Wick films did and we see him enact some vengeance on the little shit who shot him. Maybe he can cut off the rest of his fingers before he kills him.

Plenty of white actors in films.

But art is often political. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think otherwise.

Re: Films to see in 2021

I was being sarcastic. I couldn't less whether people are black, white pink or blue and it really pisses me off every time a good film comes out and somebody says "there weren't enough black people in it " or "it should have had a female director". I am very passionate about the right person for the right job and being PC and giving a job to a female director for example for the sake it doesn't immediately make the film amazing. Charlies Angels is a perfect example of that. LOTR was fantastic and I didn't even notice there weren't any black people in it until they made a big deal about it at the Oscars.

Paul	01-10-2021 15:11

Re: Films to see in 2021

Perhaps he is questioning how "realistic" is it.

Its a common trend in films and tv from the US now.
The "representation" of minorities now generally exceeds reality.

I have no idea what % the coloured population was in the west back then (excluding slaves I guess).
I could not find an equivelent for race, but in a 2019 poll, people in the US estimated that 23.6% of the population were gay, you can probably guess where they got that perception from (the real figure is about 4.5%).

Hugh	01-10-2021 15:27

Re: Films to see in 2021

"realistic"?

As compared to a fictional hidden high-tech kingdom in Africa?

Anyway, it is estimated that up to 25% of all cowboys in late 19th Century USA (after the Civil War) were Black.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/histo...oys-180962144/

https://www.oupress.com/books/145202...-american-west

Re the estimates - it’s not just gays they overestimate, they do the same thing for Hispanics and Blacks.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/4435/pu...pulations.aspx

Quote:

The typical American estimates the percentages of blacks and Hispanics in this country to be more than twice as high as they actually are.

On average, Americans say that 33% of the U.S. population is black. In fact, a majority of Americans (56%) estimate that the percentage of blacks in this country stands at 30% or higher. As many as 17% of Americans say the percentage of blacks is 50% or greater. Only 7% accurately state that the percentage of blacks falls between 10% and 14% of the entire population.

Americans' impressions about the percentage of Hispanics in this country are somewhat more accurate than their impressions about the percentage of blacks. Americans, on average, say that 29% of the U.S. population is Hispanic, which is slightly more than twice the actual percentage of Hispanics. About two in five Americans say Hispanics constitute 30% or more of the population. Just 10% accurately estimate that between 10% and 14% of the population is Hispanic.

Thats a comparison you made, not me. ;)

I mearly suggested he was questioning how realistic an (almost) all black cast would be for a western.

25% is only 1 in 4 - but then of course, its possible that gangs back then would likely all be similar in make up (i.e. all black, or all white). :)

not really, i couldn't care less whether a film is all white or black (e.g. Black Panther) as long as it is a good film. All my comments were in gest and purely to point out the irony and hypocrisy of this particular film because Regina King is in it. If it was an all white cast she would be the first person to moan her ass off about the lack of black actors in it so because I noticed her in the trailer my comments were intended to sarcastically prove a point and I wonder if she said to anyone "where are the white guys?"
