Today, only the literate suffer, and that applies to the recent Dune adaptations as well…
Zendaya was great in spiderman but she’s the absolute worst choice for chani. Her “too cool for school” sarcastic persona doesn’t fit with a primitive tribal religious fanatic at all.
She’s a sassy, rebellious New Yorker, when Chani is mature, strong and feminine AF. Just because they’re 15 doesn’t mean they’re supposed to be played like any Western “f u mom!” kid… Denis really dropped the ball there, but he’s more of visual director than a storyteller, I guess.
She’s a sassy, rebellious New Yorker
I’m pretty sure she’s from California? Unless you’re being metaphorical or something.
Since when does Spider-Man takes place in California?
It’s a relief then that Dune is one of the dumbest fucking stories of all time and casting doesn’t matter.
It seems like you really don’t like it. What makes you say that?
Although the movies are better than the books, the actual story is spectacularly awful. Have you ever had someone try to explain it to you? It’s unhinged. And the book is so poorly written from a literary perspective. Dune is Twilight for Gen-X’ers.
Frank Herbert is such a narcissist he actually accused Star Wars of ripping him off. He was a Republican and a reactionary. It’s no wonder that his characters are so dense and boring.
This is just a sad take. The writing is brilliantly grounded in reality for a fantastical story. It’s fricken weird AF, but many of us are here for that. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay if you don’t like it, but calling it poorly written is infantile.
I’ve noticed a lot of infantile and absurdly maximalist takes on Lemmy lately. it’s kind of souring me on the project.
The Reddit spillover effect is noticable
If you think Dune is well-written, wait until you read a modern sci-fi novel. The shittiest space opera would probably blow your mind.
I have. I like em too. I don’t neglect what came before because there is something new.
I agree. Really dumb stuff. Certainly not watching the Villeneuve movies for the plot. Cults, royalty, magic, psychic powers, people turning into worms, guiding star travel via ESP…geez
Wtf. Who thinks so much about people who they don’t even know?
Surely, you’ve heard of “tabloids”?
Those who consider themselves White Knights in a Shiny Armour. We have too many of them thinking that only they know how things should be and that only they are bearers of the ideal moral codex.
- Who are they talking about?
- I hope they never get a partner because who know where their lips have been too
(Thinking through that last one they probably want a “pure” virgin)
Timothee Chalamet is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner. The character Zendaya plays in Dune kisses Timothee’s character.
Since you missed it, let me explain the joke. Ahem: Kylie Jenner is a despicable billionaire who exploits poor girls for money. Touching anything that she has touched, including a hot guy, is disgusting. That’s the joke.
Educate an old and out of touch person please:
Is anus licking standard practice now? Is this presumed as obvious currently?
I wouldn’t say standard, however I tongue punched a few fart boxs and I swore I never would.
Then one day a girl with an ass so fine comes strutting her way into your life that changes everything, so who am I to say no?
I’m confused. Who is supposed to enjoy it, the licker or the lickee? It just seems like a nasty experience for everyone involved, especially with the enema I would require to get near the poop hole with my tongue.
Both parties enjoy it, in my experience.
I’m very clean and so is my partner. I’ve eaten their ass after a rave before, it ain’t no big thang
Such exquisite poetry, I’ve seldom heard before. I’m going to get this comment printed and framed.
Anal is now first base.
Hold up. “Anal” is not the same as “licking ass”.
It kind of is though. Any ass licking is technically anal sex because it is sex that involves the anus, but not all anal sex involves ass licking.
Depends on how long their tongue is.
I remember when it was common knowledge that you never go ass to mouth… time are a’ changing.
Lets say “popular”. I wouldnt say “standard” is accurate.
Maybe the OOP just assumed it’s “standard” for pretty and famous people they’d do all the things in the sack.
I think that’s what they call “puppygirl”
No
