I have only changed my avatar once in over 200 years as a member of this forum and that was only because my old avatar vanished in a software glitch.

Most likely I will go and watch the movie a second time (with another friend) some time during the next few weeks

Watched it a 2nd time too meanwhile. Still fantastic

I have it as streaming option now too, but renting it is more expensive than cinema despite waaayyyy smaller screen and less powerful sound This thing is really made for cinema

[Uncle Sparky]

The bigger the screen the better for this one. I saw it last night on a big cinema screen, but if we still had an IMAX, I'd see it again there. I liked it more than the Lynch version, and I'm a Lynch fan. I wouldn't be surprised if this one receives 8-10 Oscar nominations.

Very please to hear that a second part is confirmed.

I never could embrace a plot line around giant sandworms where it dont rain. Maybe the book or movie explained that.

[Bereta_Eder]

I watched it and found it boring an underwelming but it was at home. I think it was made for the big screen,
Too many discractions at hom and a small screen etc

But I tried watching a film at cinema and with a mask on it's intorelable

[Bereta_Eder]

They only screen it dubbed over here

Maybe I can catch it in Amsterdam, I'm going there for the weekend.

in europe "big" language blocks dubb films. that's german french italian and spanish (because of south america (=maybe also portuguse because of brazil)

smaller lanuage blocks do not, it's not financially sound.

ironically the second have it best since we are saved from attrocious dubbing (some are an art form but not for mainstream movies) plus we usually have a better grasp of english (though that also depends widely)

in belgium you can also catch the films in original language if you go the flemish part. in the walloon part they're french dubbed

greece denmark holland and most other countries have them just subtitled

Spain and Latin America do not share dubs, or even subtitles. Our Spanish is too different.

In Argentina we even used to have mostly subbed movies (except for kids movies where it was common to have dubbed version for the early screenings and subbed for the later ones).

Now it's a bit less like that, with more like 50% of movies being dubbed (although i could be wrong, i haven't been to the cinema in around 5 years).

Mask wearing is not required in cinemas here during the movies currently. Only when you enter and leave with the crowds. Once you're on your seat you can take it off, the seats next to you are left free for distancing.

I wouldn't like to watch a full movie under a mask either. Of course you gotta be vaccinated to enter the cinema to begin with (or have one the 3G alternatives).

[Bereta_Eder]

Only been to a cinema once but it was an artsy pansty one and there the mask was obligatory and they were like the gestapo observing that the measure was observed,

So I checked the regular cinemas and yep, it is mandatory there too.... plus having been vaccinated or recovered.

if I put a sirurgical mask my glasses get fogged up. if I put a KN95 on the glasses are ok but it really is suffocating having to wear that for hours on end. if it's for work or travel etc I can tolerate it but not for entertainment

[Bereta_Eder]

wow interesting that spanish has been differantiated so much. well I do not know what goes on with spain, I just followed up on my logic that you need to have a "crucial" mass to dubb all the movies and spanish have it (or so I thought)

[Bereta_Eder]

here's an example of a good dubbing btw
(at least I think so)

It's not entirely different to the UK and US, I'd say. Although much less common due to total volume produced, I'd hazard there's dubs to UK English and to US English (but not to, say, the different dialects in the US)

It's not strictly population, but media-consuming population. There's enough moviegoers in Spain alone (and they will pay the premium to get content in their language) to justify a local dub.

In Latin America, while total population is much larger, moviegoing population is not much higher (might even be comparable, not sure) due to economic reasons. So we have a 'Latin American standard' that is used for most dubs and translations. It's closer to the Spanish talked in north and northern south America than what we speak here in Argentina or Uruguay, and has none of the Iberian slang present in their dubs/subtitles.

[Uncle Sparky]

I prefer subtitles.

Dune (2021) now can be bought (or borrowed) by Amazon and other Stream-Providers.
I have bought it now and rewathced it ... even on my Home Screen (without 3D) it is great

You might want to try a cartridge respirator; they come in two parts, the mask which contains the valves, and the cartridges (modern workplace designs usually have two). Because the cartridges have considerably more surface area than any surgical or KN95 style mask, and the valves mean you only inhale through them, they are extremely easy to breathe in, even when doing hard physical labor; in fact, they are designed for exactly that.

Cartridge: https://www.amazon.com/3M-2091-Parti...ACEMENT_FILTER

Change the cartridge when it gets harder to breathe through; I've been using these for the entire pandemic and I haven't felt the need to change them.

[N35t0r]

Masks with exhalation valves are (rightfully) forbidden anywhere with a serious mask mandate.
