With the release of Dune 2 Timothée Chalamet is on track to become the worlds number 1 box office champ.

No hate from me. I think he’s beautiful and is a good actor.

[quote] Why all the DL hate?

JEALOUSY!

All hail, King Timmy!!!

Screw you, Austin Butler you jealous hag!

I’ve always liked Tim O’Tay.

Good for him! We need real movie stars, and he’s talented and seems like he’s got his head on straight.

Box office Chimp, not Champ. Big difference. Huge.

According to DL, he got too much hype and then underperformed relative to the hype. Though I'd argue that "hype" is always a guess, a bet. Wonka and Dune seem to put him, at least for now, at a higher status "deserving" of the hype.

Timmy is greater than Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Momoa, and Chris Hemsworth ALL PUT TOGETHER!!!!

His box office numbers are crushing them all.

He isn't just A-list.

He is at the very TOP of the list.

So suck it and fuck it, haters!

Timmy WINS!!

OP is Timmy.

R5/R8 is Austin Butthead.

[quote]Box office Chimp, not Champ. Big difference. Huge.

What's the difference and how does it apply to him? It's easy to spew " clever" remarks without any stated reason for the opinion. Easy and lazy, but typical.

What makes you think Dune 2 will be a big hit solely because of him? His independent films (Beautiful Boy, The King, Bones & All) were flops and I mean big flops. He quickly switched gears and has been on the big blockbuster franchise/IP route to disguise the fact he's not a draw himself. He's overrated, egotistical, and not a nice person. How this untalented mess keeps getting work is beyond comprehension.

And he can't enunciate to save his little mousy life!

You seem to be lost, OP. Perhaps a more suitable site awaits you per the link.

r10 I agree. He's no chimp. Monkeys and chimpanzees are way too cute and interesting. He's just a dull scrawny boy with minimal acting ability.

His last scene in CMBYN was astounding. But, in general, I find him to be a character actor, not a lead. As such he's also mildly annoying. I liked Dune I, but not because I thought he performance was much.

Why should anyone care how much money his movies make? That's not a good indicator of talent. I'm going to see Dune 2 for the sandworms and sci-fi vehicles, I couldn't care less about Paul. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.

[quote] Why should anyone care how much money his movies make? That's not a good indicator of talent.

Tell that to the BARBIE CUNTS who have been saying (since last Summer) that Barbie should win an Oscar in all categories, because it made the most money last Summer.

I agree with you. Box Office numbers are NOT an indicator of talent.

So please tell that to those two dumb twats, Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, as well as their cunting fans.

That said, Timmy HAS talent.

If he didn't, then he would be hired for so many acting roles.

The guy is HOT right now. Hotter than any other actor in Hollywood.

I have totally embraced Chalamet since he played the hip-hop star on SNL.

[quote]We need real movie stars, and he’s talented and seems like he’s got his head on straight.

Oh, my sides.

In my day, he would be Jack Wild.

Back in the day, he'd be passed around to earn these roles.

[quote] Why all the DL hate?

I’m just spitballing here, but could it be the RATFACE?

r17 Because Hollywood absolutely never casts people without talent

He’s an ugly nerd. High school drama rag who had the corrections to scam a career.

His career is testament that’s it’s who you know that matters.

Mirror cracker.

Movie stars used to be good looking. No more.

[quote][R17] Because Hollywood absolutely never casts people without talent

He's been CASTED!

R25 You better be joking.

I thought Dune 1 was carried by an impressive ensemble cast (that, and impressive cinematography). On the face of it, the cast in Dune 2 seems less impressive & Timothy just doesn't seem to have the kind of weight (or whatever you want to call it) to carry a movie himself.

[quote]Timothy just doesn't seem to have the kind of weight (or whatever you want to call it) to carry a movie himself.

Sucks to be him!

I totally agree with you on those points, R28.

I don't really think that Timmy and Zendaya can carry this film by themselves.

The adults in Part I gave the movie a feeling of gravitas, that the actors in Part II lack.

[quote] He’s an ugly nerd. High school drama rag who had the corrections to scam a career.

You think everyone with an uncle in show business can scam a career as a movie star?

[QUOTE]With the release of Dune 2 Timothée Chalamet is on track to become the worlds number 1 box office champ. He is the biggest movie star on the planet. Why all the DL hate?

Are you a 13 year old girl OP? Or do you just have the mentality of one?

Hater alert at R31.

You're just pissed because you can't dispute Timmy's huge box office numbers.

You know that he has just hit A++ status in Hollywood, and you're JEALOUS AS HELL.

[quote]And he can't enunciate to save his little mousy life!

This is a big part of why I can’t watch him. No matter what character he tries to play, he ends up sounding like an emo kid from New York.

Nobody has to carry a movie like Dune. It’s a multi-character ensemble. But Paul Atreides has to be charismatic. I think scrawny Timmy was miscast, but he was OK in the first film. I’m keeping an open mind.

I have never seen a more polarizing and divisive "star." Even Jennifer Lawrence didn't get this level of hate.

[quote] Even Jennifer Lawrence didn't get this level of hate.

I hate her.

[quote]I don't really think that Timmy and Zendaya can carry this film by themselves.

Don't tell that to the Zendaya No Last Name stan!

[quote]But Paul Atreides has to be charismatic.

I think he carried off Paul as young, immature, full of himself, undisciplined but has potential kind of character. I thought his chemistry with Rebecca Ferguson was particularly good. But now he has to be someone that a nomadic tribe with allegiance to no one and exploited by everyone would actually respect and follow. Time will tell if he can pull that off

Trollin' trollin' trollin',

Keep those clicks a rollin',

I lied!

Is that the French spelling of Timothy? Or is it an “Ashleigh” kind of thing?

It’s French.

He’s so handsome!

Timothee is the future of American acting

God help us, R43.

R44: Hollywood is better off with AI being its future.

The IBM. It is the future.

When Timmy snags an Oscar for playing Holly Golightly he will have you old queens eating crow.

IMO he is ugly like a rat but a very good actor. He basically continues where Leonardo left off as an overweight has-been. Congratz but I wish they would find prettier people now that all the movies are 4K.

D'accord! I was far more masculine.

DiCaprio was brilliant at Timothee's age. Chalamet makes Keanu look like Daniel Day Lewis

The end of CMBYN was brilliant.

He is this generation's Paul Newman!

I’m old enough to remember when movie stars had handsome faces, enviable physiques and commanding voices.

Times change, I guess.

Timmy is dawning of the new age in cinema gramps r53

Timmy is the fey embodiment of a fey era.

He IS Tina Fey!

He's already laying the ground for taking a superhero role. So much for the 'artiste' he tried to pretend he was. He saw very quickly he couldn't draw without being backed up by an IP

You are really reaching r57 Matt Anscher

Timmy is both an artist and an enormous box office draw

While you’re an unfuckable nobody

Your pain is delicious

You're approaching pathetic bootlicker territory, r58. It's fine if you like Timmy but try to do it in a way that's not embarrassing.

Further proof that’s it’s better to be lucky than good looking, talented or smart.

Ironically, r58, the only one acting like Matt Anscher in this thread is you.

And if he's such an enormous draw, why did his non-IP films flop?

❣️TIMMY’S ❣️have always been successes, either commercially or artistically, frequently both

Prove me wrong r61

And Matt Ancher is hideous unloved unwanted fug

You're missing the point, r62. If a lot of people pay to see Wonka or a new Dune movie, is that proof that people love Timmy or do they just love Wonka and Dune? That cannibal movie only grossed 15 million.

The only reason I saw Dune, r63, is because Timmy is in it. It is the only reason I will see Dune 2. When Wonka is streamable, I will watch that, too, because Timmy is in the lead role. Not everyone on DL hates Timmy.

Yeah but that's not airtight proof of his massive popularity, r64. Dune is classic sci-fi and almost everyone loves the original Wonka film. He's not singlehandedly turning these movies into hits.

I am going to see Dune 2 tonight and I’m not going for Timmy.

R66, you get the huge benefit anyway of seeing him on screen.

Only 3 people hate 👑♥️PRINCE TIMMY ♥️👑 on Datalounge, and one them is this unfuckable gargoyle

Since Muriel changed the code that this fug couldn’t launch his denial of service attacks at any Call Me By Your Name, Matt has been rendered impotent, both metaphorically and literally, as he gnashed his rancid teeth at 🥳 TIMMY ♥️ continued success

He is French-Canadian, does that mean he is not circumcisioned?

I just assumed he was uncut. I have a European parent too and I'm uncut.

He's not French-Canadian. His father is from France. And he's Jewish, so his cock has been perfected.

R42- He looks like a RODENT 🐭🐹

said everyone

R60- Tom Hanks is humble about the talent he doesn’t even have.

FFS stop making shit up OP. Chalamet is historic long-term box office poison. 95% of his films over his entire career have been total bombs.

Dune isn't successful because of Chalamet. It is successful because it's a sci-fi which is loved by generations of fans who all want to see it reimagined. Dune would have been a success if he had been in it or not.

Here's a LONG list of all his box office bombs and failures.

"Dune: 2" is receiving high praise; of that there is no disputing.

But is the Science Fiction crowd one that would go see this movie primarily because of the young male lead?

That is, isn't the primary probable audience itself composed of (young) males not enamored so much of Timothee as of the "Dune" books and "Dune: 1"?

Praise for "Dune: 2":

More for "Dune: 2":

I saw it last night and Butler, who I’ve never seen in anything, gave one of the two most impressive and charismatic performances in the film.

The other was Rebecca Ferguson, who is a far more active and dynamic presence than she was in the first.

No one is going to see Dune because of that sad pale little queen. He is not a movie star. Audience is going because of the property, like Star Wars or Harry Potter. Your grandma could star and people would still go.

[quote]...on track to become the worlds number 1 box office champ...He is the biggest movie star on the planet. Why all the DL hate?

That's like saying Daisy Ridley was the biggest movie star in the world in 2015.

People did not go see Dune to see Chalamet.

[quote] I saw it last night and Butler, who I’ve never seen in anything, gave one of the two most impressive and charismatic performances in the film.

Unfortunately, Austin Butler will be acting like his character from Dune, for the next two years.

Accent and all.

R76 I think they already found someone for the Zelda live action movie

Saw it. Timmy was fine, but if the universe was going to send a warrior-messiah why would it send THAT?

If the brown indigenous people of Arrakis were going to follow a white savior, would they follow THAT?

If the indestructible, muscular fighter Feyd-Rautha is going to be defeated in hand-to hand combat by another fighter, would he lose to THAT?

MISCAST.

“A” sci-fi

R83, Is the Paul (Timmy) and Chani (Z) love story credible? I mean, I know in RL we're shown Kylie and Tom H., but those aren't credible, so....

Aren't those oxygen nose things off-putting to the viewer? Yuck!

Isn't the fim's brown, gray, and black "color" scheme rather fugly?

Maybe so, r81, but I think he sounds different here.

Unfortunately for my taste, too many actors today go for a whispery tone.

For all the Loonies! ❤❗❤❗❤

The 'stache is white trache.

*high fives R75* TC has some name recognition but the star of Dune, is itself, the spectacle of Dune. Pretty sure you could swap him out for Tom Holland, Finn Wolfhard, Jace Norman, Cole Sprouse and whoever else these young actors that I had to look up, and they could plop themselves in the movie and it would still blow minds. I'm indifferent to TC; he's a decent actor but I don't watch movies *just* because he's in them. He's not quite there yet.

Once his Dune franchise ends, so will his reign as Hollywood's "It Boy" and a box office draw. Any success he's had at the box office since then has been bouyed up by great actors in ensemble casts. There are a lot of actors who probably cost a lot less than him and act circles around him.

r91 Alas, I think you're being optimistic. If that Bob Dylan biopic ever does happen he'll try and claim its success for himself, despite the draw there obviously being Dylan, and he'll then find another IP to prop himself up with, likely a superhero franchise.

Isn’t he playing Bob Dylan? That will be a genuine test of how popular he actually is.

Wonka and Dune were sold on the brand, although Timmy was part of the appeal.

R91 is crazy unloved unwanted Matt Anscher

It’s mildly amusing to see you proven wrong 100% of the time.

TIMMY lives in your rancid mind.

Isn’t it wonderful?

Well, that's rich, seeing as this Matt Anscher lives in your head rent free.

[quote]You're missing the point, R62. If a lot of people pay to see Wonka or a new Dune movie, is that proof that people love Timmy or do they just love Wonka and Dune? That cannibal movie only grossed 15 million.

FFS, R63 - I’m so tired of this. I’m not a Timmy stan, but I’ve watched his performances since Call Me By Your Name and Miss Stevens because in those roles he really showed he could act at a young age (Beautiful Boy wasn’t a great film, but he gave it his all and was wonderful in it). I don’t give a fuck about his looks or “real” personality, but here’s the thing: It’s obvious “Bones and All” wasn’t meant to be a gigantic moneymaker, and Chalamet was great in it, as was Mark Rylance and Taylor Russell (the actual lead) and - yes - even DL object-of-hate Chloë Sevigny, in a small role. It was always meant to be an “acquired taste”, if you will. I’m glad it was made.

It was an independent road movie about gross fucking cannibals that ended up being strangely moving, and a lot of that had to do with Chalamet’s performance. I still find myself thinking about it months after watching it in the theatre. Did you actually even see it?

[quote] even DL object-of-hate Chloë Sevigny

You are confusing hate and WORSHIP.

Just read an article in New York Magazine about a showing of Dune 2 at the IMAX AMC Times Square at 3:15 am. There were about 200 audience. The writer interviewed several people (straight white shlubby sci-fi incels) and not a single one of them cared about Chalamet, or Austin Butler or any of the actors for that matter. They came because it was Dune, a known incel nerd property, and because it was IMAX.

Little Ms. Timmy is not a movie star. No matter how many times you industry plants scream about it here.

[quote]Little Ms. Timmy is not a movie star.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Right.

You seem very obsessed with Timothee Chalamet r98

You could ignore him

But you can’t, can you?

Hi Austin Butler at R98!

r96 There's a huge difference between not "meant to be a gigantic moneymaker" and being a flop. Bones and All was the latter. And the point being that if Chalamet were any kind of the draw that his fangirls are making him out to be, he could've drawn enough to Bones and All to prevent it flopping. Not making gigantic amounts of money, but at least enough to break even, or maybe a modest profit.

R102 continues to astound with his Hollywood wisdom

r103 You mean basic arithmetic. $15 million (what it made) being less than $16 million (the lowest estimate of what it cost)

R102: Prior to the release of Bones & All, there were numerous fawning profile pieces claiming that his name alone could greenlight a movie. After all, these Hollywood insiders are the ones who are invested in him the most. The fangirls can deny and rationalize all they want but the facts and numbers don't lie.

R101 cannot read posts very well. Pity.

But to your larger point:

Flexing a muscle in the jaw isn't acting

Butler is so charismatic.

Howard Stern’s son…not so much.

Have you seen the latest, OP?

R107 likes being in the minority. Good on ya!

Timmy is there in Dune 2, but he is not responsible for its success. And of the cast, he is probably the least successful. He still appears waif like and is unbelievable as a great warrior.

You are great comedy

Find a review that says Timmy is the best part of the movie. You won’t.

Otherwise, you are just talking out of your sagging wrinkled ass

I didn't say he gave a bad performance, just that he is probably the weakest:

"The plot picks up exactly where "Part One" left off. Chalamet is still a skinny marink as Paul Atreides, the young duke and maybe future messiah" - Rolling Stone

lol that’s not going to happen R136.

I don't even hate him anymore. I hate the fangirls. The fangirls say he's going to be nominated and win the Oscar each and every time he releases a movie. He has no on screen presence and is just not a strong enough actor to carry a film of this scale.

Still reads the same.

[quote] The film generated approximately $81 million domestically, and a further $97 million from over 70 overseas markets, for a cumulative global opening of $178 million. By comparison, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer generated $174 million in its global opening

Read it again

I don't know what r149's point is, but IMO that's a pretty amazing "global opening" for a talkie-talkie historical film with mostly White men in suits.

"Oppenheimer" does have spectacular cinematography, though, and I don't mean Florence Pugh (in either movie).

Not to mention that Hiroshima and Nagasaki put Arakis in the shade. Don't bring a knife to an atomic bomb blast.

Timothee wishes! 😉

We will much ….please you teach us

I don't care about Timothee either way. But he could be Link in a Zelda movie. Without makeup. I knew he reminded me of someone.

Dune’s box office has zero to do with Timmy.

It’s certainly not the juggernaut that everyone is trying to say it is. It’s doing fine. No more no less.

With Dune 2, he’s shown he adds a lot to the box office, especially when he’s carrying the film like that.

Dune 2, combined with extraordinary success of Wonka, means that Timothy Chalamet is the most bankable movie star in the world

Sure, Jan.

[quote] "His last scene in CMBYN was astounding."

How can anyone get through that? Both of the lead actors are annoying as hell.

In 10 minutes, I’m going to see Dune 2 for the second time

Jealous, bitches?

Zendaya acted with her eyes

Stunning performance with eyes and gestures around a face that frowned 90% of the time

Best supporting actress nomination guaranteed

Sometimes people "love" the villain....(Quick! Who played Batman to Heath's Joker?) (OR to Joaquin's!)

LOL at people thinking anyone from Dune 2 will receive an Oscar nomination.

This is what slate written articles look like

Zendaya will get a nomination r170

The fact that you haven’t seen the film is clear

I have seen it and no she won’t receive an Oscar nomination.

It’s the year of Zendaya and she will receive a nomination r173

The movie will receive a good number of Oscar nominations.

There will be zero acting nominations for this movie. I love Zendaya, but she’s not being nominated for this.

Timmy will win his first Oscar for the Bob Dylan biopic.

Timothée Chalamet is the new Taron Egerton!

🤤🤦🏻🤤

The big fight between Timmy and Austin Butler at the end was funny. Timmy trying his best to be tough and imposing with his skinny frame and curly mop top flopping around, making fem whimpering sounds whenever he got hit. He really tried to sell it.

Timmy was magnificent in that fight scene r185

That’s why Timmy is highest paid young actor in Hollywood

Didn’t we determine that Timothee is probably in the $12-13M range, with other women like Emily Blunt?

[quote] With ‘WONKA’ and ‘DUNE - PART TWO’, Timothée Chalamet has been the lead of the top two domestic grossing films over the last 8 months.

[quote] He is the first actor to accomplish that since John Travolta did it with “SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER” and “GREASE” in the late 1970s.

I thought A Complete Unknown was going to be one of those projects stuck in development hell forever.

Wonka and Dune were established IP.

Travolta led blockbuster movies that were not based on prior movies.

^Forgive my ignorance, but what is an IP? Please and thank you R190.

Intellectual Property. In movies, meaning a “franchise” with an existing audience/fan-base, like Wonka or Dune.

I think Timmy gets some credit for Wonka. If he sucked it would have flopped. Very little for Dune. Most if its audience would show up if Carrot Top played Paul.

The mental contortions of the Timmy haters are delicious

💫TIMMY IS A SUPERSTAR 💫AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN ABOUT IT

YOU WILL HAVE THE ♥️TIMMY❤️ EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU DIE

[quote]Travolta led blockbuster movies that were not based on prior movies.

Grease was based on a musical, however, that was very popular in the 1970s. Doesn't that count as preexisting intellectual property?

I would not count a stand-alone musical, play or novel as a pre-existing movie franchise unless it is a cult classic like Dune or mega-popular like Harry Potter. Lots of movies based on novels, musicals or plays flop.

A movie franchise should have at least one successful movie already released.

BREAK YOUR BACK CONTORTING R196

I keep waiting to see him reunited with Dana Brody

[quote] Dune: Part Two made $7.2 million in IMAX, bringing its grand total overseas to $65.7 million, making it the 7th highest-grossing international IMAX movie

💰❤️🪐TIMMY IS THE BOX OFFICE CHAMP🚀♥️💵

I don't think he's bad, exactly, but he's another mediocrity that has risen to the top in the Hollywood of the 2010s and 2020s. He's not a great actor and he's not great looking. Clearly people are divided over his talent, charisma and attractiveness. He's basically filling a void. There are really no household names who are under 30, who appeal to a wide enough spectrum of the audience to call them real stars of the old school variety.

And Dune probably would have done as well without him in the lead.

R207: They're rushing him into as many movies as possible before gravity and age complete his aging process. He's already at pre-Yoda facial features.

Hollywood is desperate for younger box office stars. If you think you have what it takes, I'd say now is the time to go for it.

Dune 2 is a flop just like the first one was, with the insane amount of money thrown on its marketing half a billion does not even cover the costs.

Hollywood even sticks Finn Wolfhard into things just to bring in the younger crowd.

I don't want to jump the gun and say the Dylan film is going to be a debacle. People said the same thing about Wonka. I don't want to jinx anything but it doesn't look like he's transforming himself all that much. At least Butler, Egerton, and even Malek transformed into their characters. This looks like he's playing moody teenager Timothee Chalamet yet again.

Please don't put me down on an adult forum with emojis, unless you're a fourteen year old girl.

❤️🙏🏼♥️THE LOVE OF TIMMY WILL REDEEM EVEN THE MOST WRETCHED SOUL LIKE R223❤️🙏🏼♥️

I just saw Wonka on Max. I loved it and was shocked I did. Chalamet has a very distinct presence and that's what makes him interesting. I had seen little of him but Wonka made me want to see more of him. I can also see why he's a divisive presence but I like him.

Is the Timbot on here genuine or is it a parody account? Please say it’s the latter.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen in my lifetime a more polarizing and divisive “star.” The passion he inspires in his fans and haters is amazing.

I can’t deny the man works his ass off for fame - wear a blouse, pretend date a Jenner, have sex with Eiza Gonzalez in a pool.

TIMMY deserves our respect because he does the work, as R228 pointed out

Oooh. Gishy gushy for Timmy Wimmy!!!

Did Timothee seek advice from Bradley?

❤️🎸♥️SO SEXY 🍆💦💦

He looks nothing like Dylan and has none of his feel. He will be giving his play to the camera as a glam boy performance per usual.

Jealous ^

Diana Ross looked nothing like Billie Holiday and certainly had none of her feel.

I saw Timmy on TikTok live yesterday evening. He was filming a scene in NY. It seemed to consist of crossing a street at nighttime in Chelsea for the Bob Dylan movie. Vintage cars about. Some girls were crying from the sidewalk on seeing him in person.

[quote] He looks nothing like Dylan

Well thank god for something.

The production is calling the paparazzi every time they're on location. That's a very telling sign...

His character arc appears to be teasing his hair. So brave.

Teasing a guy’s hair makes a certain psycho extra ugly

So apparently he's a "producer" on the Dylan biopic.

That’s not a transformation. That’s a good hair and costume department.

[quote]Dune: Part Two surpassed $1 billion at the global box office with IMAX grossing $124 million.

Cue “is the movie profitable?” troll

[quote]I took my reserved seat and sat down, waiting, like Nicole Kidman is always telling us, for the magic to happen.

[quote]Cut to 40 minutes after the start time on my ticket, when we were just watching the opening moments of Kidman’s PSA. Any expectation of “magic” had been sucked out of my soul long ago, starting with the braying Maria Menounos “Noovie” pre-show, cranked up loud enough to drown out any conversation with your friends.

[quote]Our actual show time then began with 10 minutes of aggressive ads, followed by a raft of trailers so extensive the entire audience began wearily half-laughing when yet another green preview screen popped up. But our giggles turned into stunned silence by the time we were treated to a second viewing of the trailer for “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.” Perhaps they thought it’d play more winningly the second time? Reader, it did not.

[quote] The sheer quantity of previews was obnoxious, but it wasn’t just that: Today’s trailers amount to seeing the majority of a movie’s big moments — long gone are the days of weird and mysterious previews that didn’t spell out every beat of a film. We had essentially watched 10 (or more) entire short films before the actual film we’d come to see. We were exhausted. And the opening credits for our movie hadn’t even rolled yet.

[quote]I don’t want to state the ass-numbingly obvious, but nobody wants to sit through more than half an hour of “content” before the nearly three-hour film they paid too much to see. It defies all logic to expect people to fork over more to be bombarded with ads and trailers they can’t mute or forward through the way they’d be able to do at home — where they can also sit on a comfier couch and eat better food. It’s as if big movie chains are responding to the dire warnings about the death of their industry by deciding they’ll simply force-feed their remaining audience as much monetizable property as possible.

[quote]I’d like to humbly suggest that they f**k off.

Which world do you mean OP? The planet of Arrakis?

At the link in r232 are photos that look like Timothee's nosebridge was enhanced to more resemble Dylan's. Yet no controversy.

[quote] The film is nearing $240 million at the domestic box office and has surpassed $570 million worldwide. The movie continues to play in theaters nationwide from Warner Bros.

[quote] “We can count on one or two hands, in any age range, the people who are legitimate movie stars,” Dune producer Mary Parent told Variety. “Timothée is absolutely that.”

[quote] Chalamet ushering in a new talent base of bankable stars. That’s wonderful for audiences, but even more so, a massive relief for the industry, which has been relying on aging talent for far too long.”

Wonka is arguable but this Dune shit is getting ridiculous. You could put my Aunt in Dune and it would still be a success because it's a beloved franchise. Chalamet can't act.

Timmy is the most talented actor of his generation r249

Your mental torment at an actor who you will never meet is funny and sad

As is your slavish devotion, r250.

R248, The Mary Parent quote is from 2021, and about "Dune: 1."

Nothing about "Dune: 2" or its added cast members.

And the way to post is to use R#, not merely a disembodied quote of some hard-to-find prior post.

All Timmy’s looks are the epitome of style but I like the London ruffled white turtleneck and the manly mustache the best

I ain’t reading all your nonsense about this insignificant actor.

He has no screen presence. He has no charisma. His persona does not fill a movie theater screen.

Those claiming he’s a HUGE box office star are incorrect. The movies draw the crowds not him. I’ve seen Dune (there are two hours of my life I’ll never get back). No need to see yet another Wonka retread and I can honestly say I’ve almost never seen anything with him in it, because I choose not to.

He's not unique here, r254.

[quote] I ain’t reading all your nonsense about this insignificant actor

Yet you constantly post on any Timmy related thread r255

🫣🫣🫣

They really ought to go back to actors wearing plain tuxes or traditional suits on the red carpet (depending on whether it's night or day). Some of the tacky Chess King looks these tasteless actors show up in are laughable.

You would make a terrible talent manager r258 / Flyoverstani, because Timmy wearing a red halter top generates 20 X the press as Timmy wearing a “traditional suit”.

R259 Like Scarlett O'Hara said about India Wilkes, "If she thought anyone'd go for her she'd walk down the street naked."

If an actor has to resort to wearing a red halter top to get attention, either he isn't good looking enough to attract it on his own, or not an exciting enough actor or celebrity.

And I'm not his talent manager, so who cares?

It’s good that you finally admit you’re irrelevant r260

R261 And what do you think makes you relevant?

Umm, no, R257.

This is maybe the first time I’ve found an occasion to comment on one of his many threads. If I’ve posted on other threads where he happened to be mentioned, well, that’s different, believe me, he is not on my radar at all.

Seriously, what the fuck is the attraction? He looks like a praying mantis.

I guess twinks are a type for some people on this website.

Timmy!

That photo is gross. He must be a total narcissist to think he's sexy, and pose like that. He's like a guy who picks his nose in the back of science class.

Next to him, Finn Wolfhard is a work of art.

Do reviewers seriously believe that audiences are going to see "Dune: 2" because of Timothee Chalamet?

He and Z look more suited to play Romeo and Juliet than potential world leaders.

I'll watch it some day, just to see how this whippersnapper defeats the killing machine Feyd-Rautha.

[quote] Do reviewers seriously believe that audiences are going to see "Dune: 2" because of Timothee Chalamet?

Yes.

Timmy Chalamet is an A list bankable world wide star.

He's really sweet when he has a thick one in him.

His contributions to Wonka are arguable but this Dune shit is getting ridiculous. You could put my Aunt in Dune 2 and it would still be a success. So please Warner Brothers enough with oh he's such a diverse, wildly popular figure.

Also, millions of actors sign first look or similar types of deals with studios all the time but his PR wants the broader public to see it as evidence that he's the best thing to happen to the box office.

R280 Of course they do, that's what they are being paid for.

Timmy has reached global icon status r279

You are going see and hear Timmy until the day you die

Why? Because DL is populated by a significant number of angry frustrate people who resent talent and achievement because they have neither. In most cases the reasons are their’s alone.

R282, Putting him in the same company as the Kardashian-Jenners and Donald Trump. 👍

R283, The Timmy Loons who post here with 💋❣❤ emojis are ALSO "angry" and quite vituperative about other actors.

Name one actor who am I angry with r284 AND posts links to back up your claims

Every one of you jealous hating shitbags would pay to lick my hole, so just fuck off!

I wonder how many times does scrawny ass has been fucked.

🤩♥️🌟TIMMY🌟❤️🤩 stylin’ and sharing the love

[quote] With $265 million domestically and another $395 million from overseas markets, Dune: Part Two has hit a cumulative global total of $660 million as it enters its sixth week of release. This past week, the movie overtook Wonka to become star Timothée Chalamet’s biggest-ever hit at the global box office. It has long since overtaken its estimated break-even point of $500 million

R287 The poor guy probably saw Momoa coming out of the shower and has been afraid of cock ever since.

[quote] “Dune 2” is the highest-grossing movie of 2024 at the domestic and worldwide box office.

🚀❤️🌍TIMMY♥️🌍🚀 IS THE EMPEROR OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE ‼️

He gives Edward Everett Horton energy.

Sure, Jan.

He'll be "riding the worm" every night.

Great in CMBYN, weakest link in Dune 2.

He was really good at taking erection, umm, direction!
