Dune (2020)

I didn't say Darth Vader. Darth Vader didn't invade desert countries/worlds to profit off of their resources. Further, Darth Vader was redeemable.

If you can't see parallels between Baron Harkonnen or and someone like Dick Cheney or Vladimir Putin then I don't know what the fuck planet you live on, because it's not Earth or Arrakis.

Thanks for proving my point.

Not to say Grim isn't retarded, but Darth Vader did, infact, do those things.

Baron Harkonnen did nothing wrong

You shut the fuck up

The TV show always gets + points because of those fine fine tits... will this new movie do better?

What's weird is that I think this is the first time I've seen a single reference to the Sci-Fi Channel Dune in this entire thread, I was legit wondering if there was some sort of taboo against bringing it up.

Clearly this is where I fucked up in ME3. I wasted all that time recruiting useless humanoids and should have just skipped straight to a Thresher Maw.

Always thought the Sci-Fi channel Children of Dune was lot better production compared to Dune

While it does get praised for adapting close to the novel everything else sucks, the acting, my god, I thought the baron had decent acting but everyone else sucks, the actor who played Paul was terrible, and a tad bit old considering Paul was suppose to be in his teens, the Gurney in this show looked like he was close to a a heart attack, the set designs and costumes looked cheap and wreeks of limited budget.

Oh you two.



The point you are glossing over, even though it WAS mentioned, is the comical, satirical evil way the Baron is represented. He is distilled evil like the IDEA of the Star Wars Emperor or the pre-redeemed Vader. He is just BAD. He does things EVIL. He is ANTAGONIST. At least in the first book because it is the most conventional, single story book. The remainder of the Frank series puts the Bene Gesseritt in the role of Antagonist and then protagonist, the son of Paul as an extended maligned protagonist, and Duncan Idaho the steady character thrhougout.

While subtle political comparisons of the Gulf War and oil with the Harkonnen dominance and then loss of Dune and the spice is apt, comparing any political figure with Baron Harkonnen is retarded.

Who is Paul in this scenario? Michele Obama? Lolololol!

I always thought it was well done, like a theater play and loved it for it.

I liked the sci-fi dune better than the movie... I mean no one beats "I will kill you" sting, but the movie was hard to watch as a teen kid wanting sci fi goodness...and yes, tits really help and plots plot related! Haha anywho...the children of dune was also good.
