It really is crazy how much of the frame is cropped in the standard version...

The Incomparable's episode about Dune dropped this weekend. Should be a great listen.

Put on your stillsuit and prepare your sand compactor. We're venturing out into the uncharted deserts of Arrakis with "Dune," Denis Villeneuve's cinematic take on the oft-filmed Frank Herbert novel. We do some comparing and contrasting with David Lynch's version, question whether this adaptation is for fans for for people who know nothing about "Dune", and basically stare at a bunch of big spaceships hanging in the air. Denis Villeneuve knows what we like.

So will there be an option to watch it at home with the imax ratio? Seems silly to lose the full effect forever after the movie leaves theaters.

Doesn't seem like we are going to get that on HBO Max because it's not listed. I did watch Shang Chi on Disney+ last weekend and it had partial IMAX scenes available which I selected. I have no idea what scenes were and which ones weren't though. I never noticed any version change within the movie.

Warner Bros. has released the IMAX versions of Christopher Nolan's movies to Blu-ray, so I assume they'll do the same here. That said, they haven't ever released the IMAX versions to digital/streaming. They're ONLY on physical media. I don't know if that's a Nolan thing or a WB thing, though, so I guess we'll find out come January. Either way, I'm confident we'll see the IMAX version of Dune again, at home, you just might have to buy the actual disc (which always do, no matter what).

If you are eager to watch the extras on the home release of #DuneMovie then WB have a present for you - they have posted "The Training Room" on YouTubehttps://t.co/iyndDZqmSt

You could say that happened in the scene where the worm attacks the spice harvester and Leto shouts "damn the spice" and rescues the men at great risk to himself and his son.

I just watched the movie at home again last night. Man I'm ready for part two. I hope they make a Dune: Messiah movie too.

Just started reading God Emperor... interesting introduction.

Buckle up, it only gets weirder/better.

I was just doing some research for work and came upon these couple of deleted scenes and cut dialogue that we know was all filmed. On one hand, I understand why they chose to streamline instead, but it still would have been cool see this play out.

First is the Paul/Duncan hangar scene in-full, which, as you can see, is slightly different than the final product, but I've highlighted the pertinent bit of dialogue that was cut...








And then, a few scenes later, here are the two scenes that were cut, that pay off that exchange. Which, again, we know were filmed, due to the image being released of Brolin playing the baliset and Villeneuve confirming that he sings in that scene...

I started reading the book. It's so good

What song did he sing? "Plastic Jesus"? Please tell me it was plastic Jesus

I bought the book just after I saw the movie. No way I was going to wait another 2 years to find out how it ends.

Alright, I am finishing the 3rd book right now. My only remark is what the heck went on in the mind of Frank Herbert to create some of this material. Everything is getting weird.

Imma gonna pull up a chairdog, and a fresh plate of slig while you try to identify anything crazy in the later books

I honestly don't know if I want to proceed after this one. You read long enough and every hero becomes a anti-hero or the villain regardless of their intentions

I think you have to read the 4th to finish the story of Leto II. It really helps explain the Golden Path and what Paul was so scared of in his visions.

One thing that I'm not a fan of in this movie is how destined Paul is to be the messiah. There is no doubt. And because of that, there is no fear of him dying or anything.

I like how the original Matrix planted a seed of doubt about Neo. That is one thing it did better than Dune.

Whichever one has the Miles Teg ghola probably isn't the weirdest but it's definitely the most distasteful.

I love the first one and the others all have redeeming features but I don't think I am up to rereading them.

Nearly done

The whole worm human hybrid thing is such a weird concept. I may have to read the next book to finish off the Golden Path though.

Loved this movie. Wish I watched it in the theatre. Great casting and acting all around.

Only complaint. Really that one traitor could shut down the shields. Seems like security for that one would be a little better.

I literally finish everything I start (an OCD thing I'd imagine), but I can't seem to get through Book 4.

So I only read book 1 and remember not being super drawn to continuing the story. Should I keep reading?

The movie was fantastic.
