shadow and bone proves that as long as you treat the source material and the characters with respect, you don't have to make everything "book accurate"
LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!

i love wizards bc they fucking lie all the time. gandalf was like “a wizard is never late he arrives precisely when he means to” lying ass. he was late as fuck. wizards will just say whatever. it doesn’t even matter when you have a big ass hat
absolutely obsessed with the Riverdale showrunners explanation for killing Archie via ritual sacrifice
i have not watched riverdale in years and apparently things have gone drastically downhill lately.
Hailee Steinfeld in a suit is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
people with social anxiety hyping each other up like omg yes queen you’re looking very passive and unremarkable. i wouldnt spare you a second glance on the street

some things i loved about Dune
- the relationship between Duncan and Paul was such a nice touch, and from their first scene together I knew that Duncan’s death was going to hit HARD (and it did). the way that Paul couldn’t make sense of his visions and did everything to try and stop them, and how he was so relieved every time he saw Duncan again, and then the panic he showed when he realizes it’s finally happening and there’s nothing he can do to stop it. exquisite.
- i LOVED seeing the desert mouse as a repeated image throughout the film. it really drove home how much Paul was trying to hold onto his innocence and how terrified he was of the future and the violence he knew was in store for him. it still just breaks me that he CHOSE the name Muad’dib for himself (at least in the book, unsure of how that will play out in the film (i thought i heard chani call him muad’dib??)). he resisted his destiny because he never wanted to kill anyone, but the inevitability of it all just weighed so heavily on him, and you can see that in the tent scene and the duel scene with Jamis.
- the death of Liet-Kynes was so raw and dramatic and i loved it. the movie did such a great job illustrating how connected the Fremen are with the ecology of Arrakis.
- the voice was SO WELL DONE i was wondering what effects they would use and seeing/hearing it in imax was 100% worth the $20 price of admission. seriously go see this movie in imax if at all possible.
- really appreciated that they didn’t try to cater this movie to the normal entertainment-seeking movie-going crowd. it wasn’t overloaded with quips or anything, and i never felt like they had cut something for the sake of crowd-pleasing or avoiding controversy. i was in a pretty packed theater and i think the audience only laughed like once. it was such a different experience from what i’m used to with marvel and star wars movies, and it was SO REFRESHING. this story is an EPIC and they embraced that. this movie is what a blockbuster should be, not fast and furious #31239.
- the set design?? literally all of the architecture looked exactly like i imagined it. and i was almost squealing over the ornithopters they looked SO. GOOD.
- hans my man you really put it all out there for this score and we love you for it. the score was the definition of pulse-pounding, especially during the invasion sequence.
- i was honestly worried they would do away with the whole jihad thing because of all the post 9/11 islamophobia, but even if they didn’t explicitly say jihad, the idea and threat of it were still VERY present in Paul’s visions (still pissed they said crusade in the first trailer but it’s whatever, that line didn’t end up in the movie anyway). really excited to see how they expand on that in the second part.
- “i should have married you” OSCAR YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THINGS LIKE THAT
