VFX Artists Compare the good & bad of DUNE 1984 with DUNE 2021
Recently watched DUNE 2021 which is something you should see if you're into your sci fi plus, I identified not being able to get into the old version as a kid, mainly because it creeped me out so much but also I was too young to follow the story back then, the new version is amazeballs though and thoroughly recommend it, here they give a good breakdown of the vfx in both versions if you like knowing how they made these films.

The Lynch film is awesome, but terrible.
I love the designs - the costumes and sets - and some of the effects are amazing... but then others are just crap and stupid looking.
Still not seen the new one - going to the cinema is still not on the cards for those of feeble lung.

It's a real shame.
Because this is one of the few films in the last decade (at least) that genuinely deserves a cinema viewing.
I'm totally with you, though. I'm not particularly concerned about contracting Covid, but the thought of spending 2+ hours surrounded by fuckwits that are unwilling/unable to keep their faces covered is my idea of hell - and I didn't much like going to the cinema before all this, anyway.
I'm lucky enough to have a reasonably large telly and a reasonably good surround sound setup which is capable of at least doing justice to the movie - especially if I sit close, but a soundbar and a 43" flatscreen really isn't going to cut it.
I'm counting on Chapter One being re-released for cinemas when Chapter Two finally gets released so folk can sit down and watch the whole thing in one go. Maybe by then I'll be able to visit the local cinema without wanting to bludgeon to death everybody within 20 feet. Maybe.

Imma waiting for Chapter 2
I have my nice 4k 55" telly and ye olde (but still perfectly good) digital Sony surround system sitting and waiting. I did have a projector and pull down screen back in the day when 1080p HD was a thing but I can't afford a 4k projector so the 55 will have to do :)
Considering my first telly was a 14" Samsung I think I'll be fine :)

I'm not far behind.
Had to watch it a second time almost immediately because I was so distracted by the visual spectacle the first time round. Best CGI I've ever seen.
Then showed it to the folks at Christmas as an excuse to watch it again (and because my 75 year old dad gets a real kick out of the sound system).
It's so bloody well done.

i saw the remake. seemed a bit unnecessary, mostly the same scenes and dialogue. like a ghostbusters reboot
there were part where the original lynch made more of an impact: the visceral diseases on the baron's face. the guild navigator beasty in a tank. even sting had more life than that bloke from guardians of the galaxy who looks like a bouncer.
And the paul atreides character seems to accept his prophecy earlier and with more conviction in this one, which intensifies the problem with any prophecy based story, which is "what they said was going to happen happens"

Yes, but - spoilers
- the prophesy is bollocks. There's no magic bullshit in Dune, just science bullshit.
The prophesy was seeded by the Bene Geserit to give them a way to gain zealous followers in case they needed sanctuary.
So the prophesy coming true is not actually a given at all.

Coming but still a way off. I'm cautiously optimistic as the original creators are involved.
I still find myself humming the main theme for the first decades later.

As a D&D player for many years, I've often wondered about what it is these fantasy people are supposed to represent.
There was a game setting from the 1990s, set on a fantasy version of Earth, where they'd decided that "humans" came from Europe, and that all the other parts of the world were populated by fantasy people - as if only Europeans were really people, and everyone else in the world was some non-human species.
They had all the elves in North America, with a generic Native American styling; all the orcs in Africa, with a generic bone-through-the-nose "savage" styling...
It's an extreme example, but I'm glad no-one in games publishing seems to think that's ok now.
I'm not sure what we can do about dwarfs, though.

If you overlay Tolkien's Middle Earth onto Europe it's pretty blunt
Shire is England.
Elves are Europe
Dwarves are...scots, maybe?
Mordor is the Middle-East.
Grey Havens are America, weirdly.
And the less said about Rhun and Harad the better.

I've got a detailed atlas that does that - you've misplaced some of those places a little
The Shire covers pretty much the whole UK, but Hobbiton is absolutely Oxford (he specified that in one of his letters, apparently).
Mordor is around Romania, Gondor is Italy / Southern France.
The Grey Havens are around West Ireland or so.
The dwarves are absolutely Jews. They've lost their homeland, they're wandering the lands, they have their own secret language and customs... He explicitly states that in one of his letters.
By the 70s, he was writing that he regretted some of the racial overtones of his work.

I really waving my nerd credentials about the place now, but
Rohan may well be portrayed as Saxons in all the adaptations, but the Prof never intended that. In the Appendix "On Translation" in LotR, he says that he used Anglo-Saxon styles and language for the Rohirrim to create a sense of connection to the modern English-speaking hobbits, and he specifically said that he didn't mean for this to imply that they were connected to the real Saxons.
