@matt_ecton96 Idk man some of these have truly awful first, second, or third movies... maybe the other two are good enough to lift them tho! And maybe there just aren't enough trilogies worth talking about out there.

Matt Ecton@matt_ecton96·1h

In preparation for #DunePart3 to complete maybe the greatest film trilogy of all time, I made my top 15 trilogies. What’s on yours?

*points out one of the main reasons the series is great so far*

roon@tszzl

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

I mean, it’s for a modern audience. Superman is an idealist, and his jaded cousin is a nihilist who thinks she’s a realist. Bet it works great.

Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

Longtime Batman writer and creator of Bane Chuck Dixon on Supergirl's tagline "Truth. Justice. Whatever.": "It's stupid. You’re idea of making us connect to this character is that she’s a nihilist?" Is he right?

Hating on something but having to defend it because the haters are hating on it WRONG

And I love them both for different reasons. After leaving Denis’ Dune Part 2, I said that “Dune is what Star Wars thinks it is.” But Star Wars hit at just the right time in just the right way. It is unique enough to stand on its own. If the argument is that Dune deserves some credit for Star Wars’ cultural impact, then yeah you probably have a point! But if it’s that Dune deserves all the credit that Star Wars gets, well that’s like saying an athlete can’t be considered iconic in his own right because he copied some moves from a player that came before him. Or that Phil Jackson can’t be credited with the Triangle offense even though he mastered and popularized it.

Ok but one is in the story because it’s an inconsequential planet and the other is central to the intergalactic economics and politics. The fact you’d have to explain the inspiration is a sign that the product of inspiration had a greater “cultural impact” than the original.

“dune will never have the cultural impact of star wars” I’m gonna hold your hand while I explain to you why Tatooine looks like that.

An excellent inquiry. I think it’s one of those “the hate for your enemy is stronger than your love for your team” situations.

How do all the people who can’t name more than 3 WNBA Players know so much about their revenue and profits and business model?

How much do teams pay the guys who play that way?

His oscar winning performance was so good they needed hats to differentiate which character he was playing cause you couldn’t tell otherwise

@Matthew_Gaskin Think it’s despicable and blasphemous, but his beliefs about who Jesus is are obviously way out of line with mine and the rest of the Christian half of Judeo-Christian. So not super surprising.

Spur Dogg@Matthew_Gaskin·16h

@shellynorr The latter.

Wonder what Judeo-Christians feel about this one.

@D0N_243 Man I don’t even think history will remember who we traded

DR34M †@D0N_243·21h

we don’t remotely care history will only remember the fact that we traded them and got disappointed so bad that niggas who watched the team for +20 years began to mentally check out despite being 5th in the west

I was asking what Coogler said about the soda machines with a ton of options and no one helped but it’s I remembered all on my own. He said “I got involved with that” or something like that. Truly incredible quote.

Sheldon Norred@shellynorr

lol someone please remind me what he said
