    I hear you and don't disagree but, you have to admit she does, in this video anyway, come off like a complete idiot. Ideally, I would think you'd do a little basic research before hand or, maybe she just should have skipped the trailer and waited to view the entire film before offering a critique or breakdown. Of course, its just my opinion on this one video.

    Also, FWIW, I don't recall, Siskel & Ebert ever breaking down a trailer like this in the day. I may be wrong just don't remember one.
    Oh, I have no idea. I never watch her videos. She annoys the shit out of me.

    I asked that very question and all he would say was that he wouldn’t say. But was very adamant that this is a BIG deal movie wise. I tend to believe him.

    I have no doubt. I feel it's going to be the kind of movie that really has an impact on people.

    He said this is one that you will go to the theatre more than once to see. I said Stars Like and he said maybe not like that but Matrix like. That was enough for me

    Looking very much towards this film as well, Kris!!! I'm encouraged. Haven't seen any bad press myself yet. Wonderful source material for sure

    Saw Dune (in 3D) yesterday - absolutely loved it.
    Will be back next week - but will attend the 2D version. The 3D glasses made an already dark movie even darker yet.

    Yeah honestly I completely forgot about 3D as well...

    @frik - what was your favorite aspect of the film? without getting into spoiler territory, of course...

    This feels appropriate to post here. If y'all haven't seen all of DV's films, you really should. His first films are especially interesting because of how his style evolved. One of my favorites of his to this day is still 2009's Polytechnique.

    I’m a huge fan but have not seen Polytechnic….
    It’s good eh? Worth seeing?

    He's one of my favorite directors so I feel like all of his films are absolutely worth watching, but Polytechnique is one of his best, I feel. It's in the top ten for 2009 for me.

    Will have to see it again before I can really answer this question - off the top of my head.....astonishing production design....immense sense of scale......wonderfully bombastic Zimmer soundtrack.....simply had a great time with this movie - not bored for a single second and can't wait for part 2 (fingers crossed.)

    Denis is my boy. He's honestly my favorite working director right now. That being said, I've tried twice to get through Polytechnique and couldn't do it.

    Also, the ridiculous 3D fad went extinct again about 3 years ago around here. I don't miss it for one second. Very few movies did it right. Chances are the films you are watching in 3D now are converted in post and not shot with 3D cameras. That completely defeats the purpose.
