Steven Spielberg was absolutely amazed by Dune 2!

I laughed, I cried...it was better than CATS.

How many years is it since Spielberg remembered how to make a good movie

I thought "The Fablemans" was a good movie.

So the answer would be "No more than two years" R2.

He has super vanilla taste so I don't really care what he thinks.

His opinion holds a lot of weight. He's Steven Spielberg. This can only mean good things for Timothee.

R4 no. He doesn’t.

R5 no one is questioning Timmy. He’s having a huge year already.

That was my point is R7. Spielberg is obviously impressed with Timmy and might cast him in his next project. A Spielberg film would be great on his resume.

[quote]Spielberg is obviously impressed with Timmy

How is that obvious, R8? He never mentions his name in the article.

R9 exactly. He’s speaking about the film from a Directors perspective to another Director. As a Director, he’s impressed.

Well I would imagine R10 that if he's impressed with the film overall that would also include the cast.

I loved Dune 1 so I have high hopes for 2.

He said "Yentl" was "The best directorial debut since 'Citizen Kane."

Well by that logic, R11, he might cast Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh and the guy who played Fremen Fighter #12 in his next project too. He's so impressed that he can't not cast them along with Chalamet.

I think it's possible to love a movie and feel ambivalent about the cast, r11. Dune is about the visuals, the sound and the action sequences. I doubt anyone left the theater saying "boy, I loved the part where Paul shouted a pep talk at the Fremen and the part where he looked at Zendaya longingly". I'm not saying the cast was absolute shit but this is not a movie where the whole point is to show off the Acting. It's not Silence of the Lambs or Doubt.

R15 lmao what??? The performances are a huge part of the movie and people are all praising the performances. Are you sleeping under a rock? I know you’re retarded but come on.

What I said, r16. Sometimes a movie is built around performances and sometimes it isn't. Dune 2 was perfectly fine but the way you're jizzing yourself over it makes you look simple.

I thought Dune sucked. It's a sandy place, so the costumes look Arabic. GET IT?! It's artsy!

R8, Interesting opinion! [See: "Air," Steven Spielberg, Producer, "Masters of the"]

Too bad it has such a terrible cast and a wooden male lead. And it definitely is a flop. The film had almost half a billion marketing budget and just like the first film it still won’t earn enough to pay itself back. Spielberg is being much too kind to a film already largely forgotten.
