not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

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

I have it on good authority, that Sting was even in a Rock Band! How crazy is that?

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

He is also a detective in Amsterdam

You know what? A young Fassbender would have been a great Feyd-Rautha.

I mean, McAvoy was the God Emperor...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I want Villeneuve to adapt God Emperor just to have the slight possibility of McAvoy reprising his role as Leto.

Elvis did really well tho.

I liked his interpretation as it fit the universe well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The gladiator part was really cool too.

Most memorable performance, easily.

The Baron was a lot more fun in Lynch's Dune as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I wholeheartedly agree.

It really bothers me, no one bothered to ever give them red hair like the book says.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I'd say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

Sting came the closest, he's the best. Idk wtf was happening in the new movie. Or why they became HR Geiger people.

In Alejandro Jodorowsky's concept for a Dune film from the early 1970s, each house has their costumes and architecture designed by a contemporary artist. Giger was the designer for the Harkonnen, and several of his ideas persisted beyond the failed film.

The Harkonnen Castle

A Harkonnen chair

I assumed Villeneuve was calling back to those designs.

Cool, never seen these before. The designs were nice, the only thing I didn't get was that Harkonnens are now stark white bald people. Their ships were menacing, which is cool. But I think the original intention was that they were also human, not so different from the Atreides. Which I liked.

I want that chair. Probably uncomfortable but that’s some sweet evil vibes going on for a zoom call.

Damn straight!

Matt Keeslar. He played Feyd in the 2000 miniseries.

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

I've never seen it. Was it any good?

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

It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's good if you want something more 'close to the books' story wise.

However, the Harkonnens are quite dialed back (they always are). And everything is low budget.

But personally, I enjoyed it and still re-watch it from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's enjoyable if you watch it in the context of it's time. You can't compare it to the Villeneuve version.
