 Episome, gente, what's happening? Second viewing of Dune 2 at the Cinemark XD Theater. At the end of this video, I'm gonna connect you to our panel discussion that we're gonna have with NerdCookies in Danica, like the Dune, Dune Ladies of Dune, they know it all. We have a fantastic talk with them, so I need to see this movie again, as you know from all my other talks of what I didn't like about this film from the first time. Now I wanna see if the movie has gotten legs, cinematic legs, because a lot of times we're wowed by first viewing and saying, oh my God, it's so cinematic, it's amazing, that we forgive their minor infractions on storytelling, which I thought were pretty obvious, especially being a fan of just the book story. So, we'll get back to after we catch Dune 2, the second viewing. I'm gonna give you my honest thoughts. Let's get some popcorn. Ride the beast. Hey, it's not the popcorn infamous popcorn cup that everyone's getting, but it's a very long, cool, sleek, slim, slender cup. Okay, so all right, rewatchability, yeah. Yeah, it is a, let me see if I have to clean this. There we go. Dune 2 is an absolute cinematic spectacle. It begs you to watch it on a huge screen to just be in awe of the scope of what you're seeing, of what you're hearing, of it's beauty you know, it's beauty and how frightening it could be as far as just from the score really on this one got a hold of me, really got a hold of me. And what that does with the score and with the cinematic effect is makes you feel more emotionally connected to what you're seeing, which is fantastic. I'm all for it, but it's interesting because a lot of people, I see we're like comparing it to Empire Strikes Back. This is the second one, right? Just like Star Wars, we had our part one, this is our part two, this is our Empire. Now, Empire, what Empire has that this film does not have is a deep emotional heart, is our true caring for the characters. I don't know if we care about these characters. I think the actors do a great job, I think they have some great moments. And I actually found a couple of more moments that I thought Timothy and Zendaya shared that I didn't see before. But do I care about these characters? I don't think I do. I cared more about what I was watching and how Denny Venue was able to pull it off, which was magnificent. It was magnificent, absolutely magnificent. Yeah, so that's what I'm getting on the second rewatch. And I wanna know what you guys think. And I can't wait to have this discussion with Danica and NerdCookies. We will put the link to that video as soon as this one ends. Because when you read the story, you don't have that problem. You really do connect with a lot of these characters. So yeah, that being said, the villains are fantastic. Just doubling down, tripling down on the look and feel of Giddy Prime, the Harkonins, the Harkonins. Austin Butler was just magnificent, magnificent. And Javier Bardem is equally just so 100% in on the prophecy. I did also see a little bit more of a kind of short-sighted modern take on as far as people who have faith and how they're seen as fundamentalists and kind of almost looked down upon, made fun of. And that's not in the original story. And you can, so I think that's a continuing kind of bad mark of modern storytelling. Everyone feels they gotta make a message on whatever the soup du jour is of social injustices that are out there. This book goes beyond any of those and really speaks to our faulty human condition and the worlds we live in with nature. So yeah, that kind of glared at a little bit more. But look, the second time I saw it, I got a lot more out of it as far as spectacle. I'm in love. If it makes sense, I'm gonna wrap it up now. If it makes sense, I cared more, was more emotionally tied to the spectacle, the score of DOOM 2. And not so much the characters. But I wanna know what you guys think. We'll have some more videos, some DOOM coverage you guys are digging and now we're gonna connect you to that video that's telling you about our panel discussion the connections to the book, where they succeeded, where they failed with Danica and NerdCookies, videos right there.
