Watching this tomorrow. Very excited, and a little anxious! I hope they have pulled it off.

I was kind of hoping he’d be more grotesquely overweight.

I was kind of hoping he’d be more grotesquely overweight. Yep. One of the things that David Lynch got right was his portrayal of Baron Harkonnen. A truly repulsive creation.

I was kind of hoping he’d be more grotesquely overweight. So you'd go out on a date with him then? |

I asked you if you would go out on a date with him because of your opinion that the person you saw in the trailer wasn't grotesque enough. Short of being the literal size of a planet I would say they got that right, some of him still needs to be seen onscreen. |

Well ya one out of many things that he got right, that they most likely will not get right in the new version. But i could be wrong.

I don’t think we’ll ever see a perfect film of Dune - such a thing probably isn’t possible - but Villeneuve’s movie gets quite a lot right, despite some heavy flaws. I didn’t particularly care for her the new Baron but others have praised him: |

I didn’t particularly care for her the new Baron but others have praised him: Have you seen Lynch’s master cut. He did about five years after the original. I think I saw it as a VHS rental. It is much better, but is hamper by some special effects discontinuity. In some scenes the Fremen’s eyes are not blue on blue. No i haven't watched it, but it will be probably be taken down soon. But who knows.
As far as i know this version below, has like 5 extra minutes of a cartoon after the opening credits not in the youtube version.

I don't know much about Dune, I had seen the original film a few times and have basically read the book in the way most Christians have read the bible, I know the story but have never read it front to back, but in bits here and there and can quote some passages by heart. My girlfriend on the other hand is a Dune zealot, she's read the book front to back multiple times, can quote the whole thing by heart, and has seen the David Lynch and TV miniseries adaptations so many times they're her go-to thing to always have on in the background as she's cleaning, folding laundry, working from home etc. We went to see Dune with two different hopes. She wanted something that captured what she felt about Dune, and I wanted to see the next Fellowship of the Ring or Matrix. I wanted to be totally blown away. Overall, I'd say she was closer to getting her way than I was to getting mine, and we both agreed we wished the movie were even longer so we could really stew with these characters. When it comes to characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Neo, Trinity, Morpheus etc. you feel like you fully know them by time the credits end, and go into the second movie with a full investment in them. In Dune, really the only character I left the theater wanting to see more of was the one that died (or appeared to die). Also, we both felt that big action set piece to be completely unexciting and unengaging and both expressed similar frustrations with the action in Blade Runner 2049. It's problematic if I can neither engage in the drama or the action. I guess I was hoping for more Arrival and less Blade Runner in how the filmmaker approached the storytelling. Overall, it's still a great spectacle and a well made movie, but it wasn't a movie I foresee myself returning to over and over again as I'd hoped. If all goes well there will be an extended edition and eventually a supercut of the films together.

A fatter Baron was needed. Vladimir was grossly overweight. One of the better lines from Lynch's Dune was Shaddam calling the Baron "That floating fat man"

It has to be realistic, being overweight while leading armies and starting wars is pretty stupid anyway. |

It has to be realistic, being overweight while leading armies and starting wars is pretty stupid anyway. He had to have suspensor pads attached to his body because he got too fat to move. Hence the "floating fat man"
Spoiler
In the prequel, he rapes Gaius Helen Mohiam and she infect the previously handsome, healthy Baron with a disease that turned him into a blob. The rape led to a child, Jessica.

That explains the stunning Jessica from the film then. Thanks for the info but I do think Harkonnen was fat enough. |
