Nobody ever pays me in Florence Pugh

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I had to settle for Florence Pugh, I feel like things wouldn't be too bad.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would she do the sarcastic Yelena accent from Black Widow, though? I'm torn between whether the sarcasm is sexy, funny, or absolutely the best accent to sarcastically read all the world news, and maybe sarcastically is just how I need my news from now on.

If you're going to quote something, at least don't screw up the quote.

That Wonka prequel sure did get weird.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Thanks for ruining the movie idiot

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, romance, the biggest part of Dune plots

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dune is two love stories; Leto and Jessica, and Paul and Chani. Without Jessica's betrayal of the Bene Gesserit because of her love for Leto there wouldn't be a story. Or at least not this story.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

3 love stories. The third is between a worm and his spice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Four? Dr. Yueh's live for his wife produced the betrayal of the Atreides.

But I stan the Worm/Spice ship.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Fifth. Later in the novels you have ghola Duncan's weird, kinky love/hate relationship with Murbella.

Jessica’s betrayal of the Bene Gesserit

is it a betrayal, or did she do exactly what was meant to happen and made it so the kwanzaa hashden was produced at exactly the right generation, that even the mothers superior didn't see coming?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The book covered this. Jessica was supposed to have borne a daughter who would have been paired with Feyd Rautha to produce the Kwisatz Haderach. Paul was a wildcard who was outside the Bene Gesserit control - remember when the Reverend Mother was angry that Jessica was teaching Paul BG secrets? The BG had Lady Fenring seduce Feyd to maintain the bloodline in case they wanted to have another crack at it.

Spoiler: they did not want another crack at it by the time Leto II was done with them.

Right, but I'm saying that Leto 2 (or 3) is the kaketown homeboy because he saw the golden path , turned into a worm and ruled for a bajillennium.

Edit: and the Benelux confederation suck because they didn't realise this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure there can be more than one, in the books it talks about how others tried too. Sounded like the Bene Tleilax had at least one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

that's a good point

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

kwanzaa hashden

lol i assume autocorrect fail?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Nope, I made a joke on purpose because I didn't want to look up how to spell kornfed hashbrowns. It's a made up word.

Spoilers for a 59 year old book

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Florence Pugh was in the book as well? I have to read it again at some point.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't sound like her when I read it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try looking into that place that you dare not look. You'll find her there, staring back at you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Liar, Florence wasn't behind that one shelf I never moved off the wall because there's so much dust (and probably spiders) behind it :(

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbf this isn't really a spoiler per say in the way you think it is

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

per say

And a bone apple tea to you too!

Riddle me this Batman, In Dune Messiah, who is the mother of Paul's kids Leto and Ghanima?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for ruining that book too. I didn't even know Batman was in it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Batman is one of the ancestors Alia is talking to, but that will first be made clear in Children of Dune 🤫

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

technically the wedding/marriage is not even in the movie.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow. Thanks a bunch for that spoiler. Really thoughtful, dick.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean the book has been out for 59 years...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

More importantly, you can know this and it still won't spoil the movie. If your knowledge of Dune is only the first movie, then whatever you think this detail means is probably wrong.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Worm God told me to spoil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, good to know, thanks. I forgive OP.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wait till you find out what happens to Paul's son.

I apologize if this has already been addressed. What is the movie on the left?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

little women (2019)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it’s Little Women but I could be wrong

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That woman looks relatively appropriate sized

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This stupid comment made me laugh so fucking much. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Love you too boo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Is it a coincidence or is it the sort of old fashioned pairing like Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, or William Powell and Myrna Loy?

I'm going to say it's the latter regardless because I think that's a tradition that should have continued.
