I think it's trying too hard to be Star Wars - 21st century edition. Villeneuve's strength is that he can make the weird engaging and palatable while keeping that edge. There just wasn't enough weirdness in the Dune movies to set it apart. The cinematography and production were great but overall felt underwhelmed. Even 2049 had enough interesting compelling weird elements. I understand he's under immense pressure from the studio to do his thing so I can't fault him either.
Oh interesting. Yes, I agree. There is for sure a strong fantasy element in Dune. It would be impossible to divorce it from that. I think Villeneuve maybe leaned too far in the sci fi futuristic aesthetic. I found a lot of the Villeneuve Dune costumes quite uninspiring, but then again I have a lot of criticisms of that series.
Even if all of what you're saying is true (it's not), the clock of time is not going back. The founding of the United States is built on the spilled blood of native Americans. What are kids born in the US today supposed to do? This type of clinging to the past to justify any contemporary analysis is the reason things aren't moving forward.
I love Moebius as an artist, but I think these are stylistically too captured by the 70s fantasy genre. It's possible Jodorowsky had a heavy hand in this since he wanted to go the whole super Christ god being with the narrative. If you look at Moebius other work The Metabarons it's far more futuristic and inventive.
I would say Lemmy is very heavy on emotions. Not a diss on Lemmy. I think it's a great platform but my god! It's like being stuck in an elevator with the angriest hormonal teens on the planet. Everyone, jeesus, please just chill and have a convo. My god.
My original comment had nothing to do with you. You took nothing out of what I said. I'm sorry about your experience though.
The fact that you even took that as apologia says it all. There is just zero critical thinking left any more. It's a postmodern meaningless world where we can go on social media and parade as if we're marching with MLK in Memphis. It's all roleplay. If people really cared about these issues the engagement would look a lot different. The conversation would be oriented towards solutions - - not flashy bingo buzzwords.
Bologna is down in Emilia Romagna, in the 3.20. I live in the region. Can confirm, it's pretty accurate
Veneto/Lombardia: aka Verona, Milan, Padova, Venezia, Torino
I use blender + some addons for work (I work as a landscape architect).
Way to lose all credibility in one event
I understood that refere-BAM!
