"BUT THE REAL DIVERSION IS PUGH'S PRINCESS IRULAN..."

OVERVIEW: "But the real diversion is Pugh’s Princess Irulan, whom [Jacqueline] West describes as the film’s voice of reason. To that end, she wanted to eschew the grand headpieces in favor of a more subtle nod to her Bene Gesserit roots. Irulan is often seen in smaller, metallic headpieces, which West likens to armor. “She’s the moral compass in "Dune Two."
[The Bene Gesserit have] been assigned to control the future and make it go on a certain path. She sees through that and she’s playing the long game,” she says. “She’s seen beyond the manipulations of Bene Gesserit, so I kept her out of that a bit.” Still, she managed to incorporate the nun look into Pugh’s costume.
"I remember when I was a little girl, how the nuns’ habits framed their face. I tried to do that with her, to keep a certain aspect of the Bene Gesserits without giving her the shape, the Virgin Mary-esque mantle," she says. "I thought I could do that best with headdresses.""

So yeah we finally went to see the
long awaited cinematic Masterpiece that is Dune: Part 2
and yes there was some collectable goodies with it which
you probably already know what it is but you can see it here.
Now as for the movie I'm not going to say
too much about it I think but I did think it was
really good. It was I thought as good as the fist one.
I would think it would be even better if you watched
the first and the second one back to back instead of having
them spaced out.
We didn't watch the first one
again before going to see this one which we should have done.
I believe some time has passed between the 2 movies
I don't know how much maybe a few months to like maybe a year?
but when the movie starts we are right into the main story
as Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet)
and his mother are now living among the Fremen forces
out in the desert as they continue to halt the spice production
which I think is partly the main conflict of the movie because
the one who controls the Spice controls everything.
As Paul lives among the people
he begins to gain their trust and starts to
full fill the prophecy that he is the chosen one
as he help the people defend their home.
I did feel that this movie was really good and is one
of those movies that going to the theater is worth
seeing on the big screen with the big sound and
everything this was a movie made for the movie going
experience.
Now I feel that the movie was very story driven.
It is very talky in alot of parts like heavy on
the dialogue so you had to pay attention and there was
alot going on even in the moments that seemed kinda quiet.
The action was impressive when there was action it felt
very raw and gritty at time during the action parts and
some what triumphant at the same time.
I do feel the movie was a pretty good mix of
action and non action scenes like everything lead
to some else so it had this nice story progression.
I don't think there was any real slow part to the
movie everything moved at a good pace.
Also visually the movie was impressive
due to its production design, costumes and
character design and the visual effects.
especially the whole sequences with the Sandworms was really cool.
them riding them and of course taking them into
the battle at the end of the movie was really
cool and impressive. I think next year
this will probably be nominated for alot of the
Oscars and most likely alot of the technical ones.
Now the sound was amazing along with the movies score
but I did feel at times that it was the same as the original
when we went to see it that the score was a little to bombastic
where it drowned out any other sound including dialogue.
maybe that was just because of the theater we were in and
it might be different at another screening but at the one
we were at it that was the case.
Now like I said the movie was really good but the only
thing is that it is the middle movie of a trilogy I think
so this one I feel is spending alot of time setting up the
events of the third movie. so it kinda doesn't have its
own thing going on it not a stand alone thing. I feel the
events of the first half is the aftermath of the first movie
the the second half of this is setting up stuff for the third.
So like I said if you were to watch it all back to back it
would make way more sense and I think it would be more enjoyable.
but anyway yeah its great and if you liked the first
one you should defiantly go and see this one.

ok hear me out here. wb and denis want to turn dune into a franchise, they have that bene gesserit show already in production. you don't end your main series after 3 movies so I think they might adapt children of dune, and maybe even god emperor just to wrap up the story. the last 2 books in the series are way too weird so that's never happening. or they might do children of dune as a tv series. bottom line is if the movies are making money they're not gonna stop making them. and dune messiah is also going to make a lot of money when it comes out because people like these movies they're events.
why are u saying such nightmarish things im shaking crying already wtf 😭 the worst thing that can happen to a good film (trilogy) is franchise building. I trust denis to stand his ground and end it with messiah. he knows what he wants and what he's doing and he should walk away from it exactly when he intends to do so.

what’s a piece of media (book, movie, song, series) that you genuinely think it’s great in any sense, could be structurally, artistically, in its social or historical impact, etc, that you’re able to go “holy shit that is a piece of art” and you love it, but you also hate it fully and deeply for some reason?
anyways for me it’s Dune

FLORENCE PUGH promoting “The Wonder” at the 66th BFI London Film Festival on October 7th 2022 wearing RODARTE
Florence attended three events in London in what seemed like very little time. At all events she wore either pink or Rodarte, and at this event she did both. This was my least favorite look that she wore during the BFI London Film Festival. It was just underwhelming compared to the other two dresses.
The dress was very pretty, but there just wasn’t anything special. I thought the pink looked nice, but it wasn’t my favorite color for Florence. The dress has a pretty lace bodice and satin skirt and sleeves. The dress just wasn’t interesting. This was a more low key event, but I just have higher expectations for Florence to really wow us.
