    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.

      It’s a relief then that Dune is one of the dumbest fucking stories of all time and casting doesn’t matter.

          Dune is Twilight for boys.

          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. The whole thing is embarrassing.

            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

    1. Who are they talking about?
    2. 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)

      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.

      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.

    Educate an old and out of touch person please:

    Is anus licking standard practice now? Is this presumed as obvious currently?
