I have a meeting tomorrow with a friend, but if I have time I'll go to the theater and watch it again. Otherwise next week. Along with The French Dispatch. It'll be a busy week.

I just saw Dune again tonight but this time on IMAX. PLEASE, PLEASE AND PLEASE see this film on IMAX and then judge. I certainly got more from the film on the second viewing. And that's saying something since I enjoyed the film on my first viewing!
Timothee's performance is definitely awesome and more nuanced than I appreciated earlier. He is forever now my imagination's Paul Atreides. And I think Lady Jessica is so darn cool along with the Bene Gessert. Thank God I didn't have nuns like that in Catholic school ... I know a few of them would have enjoyed tormenting with a Gom Jabbar test. And the relationships among the core Atreides family are well developed and moving. I cared about their fates.
I also appreciated House Harkonnen more even though my criticisms of the source material on the villains remain. Stellan Skarsgard is just so darn chilling in prosthetics. What a wonderful actor!
Go see the film in cinemas and most importantly have fun! I wore a Dune tshirt with Timothee's Paul on it to celebrate and this nice couple after the movie complemented me. They must have clearly enjoyed the movie like me. Made my night!
And there better be a Part 2 soon!!! I will say it a million times or until a sandworm swallows me!

Anthony, I have the same feelings after watching Dune last night for the 2nd time, but several weeks apart, on IMAX. Just a mind-blowing experience. When the film ended, there was a huge SIGH from the audience as if everyone was holding their breath, and their bladder, and there was applause. IMaX takes Dune to a whole new level, it makes you feel like you are part of the House of Atreides when they leave Caladan, and arrive on Dune, you are just immersed into their collective fold and experience what they are experiencing.
I will watch Dune once more in the theater sometime next weekend, and then I'll watch it on HBOmax to compare the viewing experiences.

Simone, I largely agree with your comments too. I was supposed to see the movie one more time in the regular theatre tonight, but my friend is not feeling well. I can't believe I decided to do this then, but I rearranged my plans and decided to see the movie on Sunday in 3D with the glasses haha!!! One of my other friends said I was "crazy" in a good way, but hey I want Part 2 lol!!! Plus I can now say Dune will be the only movie in my life to date that I have seen regular, IMAX, and 3D in the theatres and during a pandemic! Go Timothee!!!

After seeing Dune a 3rd time in the theatre ... this one with the 3D glasses ... I'm convinced the film is a bonafide classic and Timothees performance is now my favorite of his to date. I know 3D is a fading trend from the 2010s but I really do love the 3D scale and thought it was so cool to see the film in this manner. IMAX definitely is a must but 3D viewing is a good second option for the big screen for this type of movie.
I hope that I am not repeating myself too much here, but the music and some key scenes just haunt and stay with me and my imagination right now. They are Gom Jabbar test, Gurney Halleck training with Paul, the Barons monstrous promise that he owns Dune, the Mother Son escape in the ornithopter, Duncans sacrifice, Paul's scary vision of warfare future with Jessica, Duke Letos death, any sandworm reveals, and the very end with "desert power" and Paul's face.
What a movie!!! Onto French Dispatch, Ghostbusters, and the Eternals over the next few weeks. 2021 is shaping up to be a wonderful year in film for me as everything was delayed so long.
And I would follow Timothee no Paul no Timothee into battle!!! I just wish it didnt take a dark turn as some of us know ...

That's awesome that you enjoyed the 3D experience too! You have now seen it more than me, but I plan to see it a third time next weekend in Digital Dolby, and then I'll watch it on HBOMax. I'm so excited that you're enjoying it so much. And don't ever tire of repeating the scenes that you like the most, that makes it all the more fun talking about the film!

Thanks so much for your kind words Simone!!!
Dune is not the only reason I became a Timothee fan, but it is the reason I became more of an ardent fan and supporter of his in public and online. We have been waiting for this movie for three years together that the last few weeks have just been so exciting for fans of Dune, Timothee, Denis, the other cast and science fiction in general.
And it's funny how you are going to see the movie on yet another different format ... one that I won't see. I think I am done for now in the theatre for Dune unless I go to the movies with a friend for an unprecedented 4th time!
Just keep trying to take my money WarnerBrothers and Legendary lol!

Hollywood is celebrating Timothée Chalamet!!! I'm so proud of him. I really do feel like I'm his aunt bragging about him to the world. LOL!

So good to see his success!! I'm proud of him, too. I saw the movie on Friday evening again. It's a 2D and subtitled version. Next time I'll see it with my mom, maybe a regular 3D version. Bonus for me: seeing so many Hungarian filmmakers/names in cast and crew

It is a great Monday all around! I just talked to my boss and convinced him to take his son who loved the movie on HBO Max to see it together in IMAX for the full theatrical experience. Does that mean I lose my job if my boss does not like the movie?! Uh oh ...!
