#No One Killed Jessica

[shrooomcat]

“Paul has never killed a man.”

Dune dir. Denis Villeneuve

The mother and the son, watch each other kill.

ARRAKEEN PALACE + aesthetics DUNE: PART ONE (dir. Denis Villeneuve)

[jazzically]

I know canonically nikola does something like teleport whenever she shows up to terrorize a tma character but i like to imagine that she has the ability to magically animate any mannequin anywhere. like in my head she doesnt literally appear out of thin air but she does manually inhabit whichever mannequin is closest to the person she wants to talk to

also. I would like to make a post about the weirdest procedures or products that people are desperately trying to get in order to remain young. so scary. salmon sperm on your face. are we fucking fr. when was the last time you got your moles checked for cancer instead. but I mean- we have people using diabete medicines without a second thought to get skinny, so I wouldn’t say that health is the main concern here.

and I have to tell you people. I don’t give a fuck about sunscreen if I’m not at the beach. bye.

MY FAV DUNE PT 2 COSTUMES

And my (mostly visual/aesthetic) reasoning

(In no particular order)

Ok starting off STRONG with this Irulan look:

It’s simple, it’s classy, it looks comfy AND elegant. I love the beadwork on the headpiece and how it’s Bene Gesserit-adjacent but you can still completely see her face and hair. The light colors look good on her and that collar made me question it for just long enough to make it better.

Next up is Jessica’s early sayyadina look, and I loooooove this robe. The earth colors are nice, I like how it kinda blends in with the sietch while emphasizing her eyes, and the fabric is very rough and functional looking while still being beautiful. Mostly I’m psyched about the patterns in the weaving (I think it’s woven) and the way that creates continuity with her tattoos.

I had trouble finding good pictures for this, but

Everything about this scene was GORGEOUS. I swear I didn’t breathe for the first ten minutes of the movie, and these Harkonnen uniforms were part of it. The colors here are amazing and make the black look so harsh and unnatural compared to the sand and rocks and the Fremen clothing. Their shiny helmets are terrifying and sterile and buglike and I am living for it. (Little me would have gotten nightmares)

Obviously we’ve all acknowledged Lady Margot’s amazing dress, but it’s just That Good. The structure! The open shoulders and low neck + hood! The color! Sinister and sexy. And despite the fact that I loved the color, I might love this even more in the black and white scenes because it shows off the construction so well and the opera glasses honestly tie it all together.

Ok bringing back Jessica because she Doesn’t Miss:

I loooove this. The gold printing (?) around the hood might be my favorite part, and the beads under the collar are awesome without weighing down her whole face like the outfit she wears for most of the film with all the metal on the forehead. I also like how the structure and design of it is extra similar to Reverend Mother Mohiam, with the giant rectangular hood, but the color and the face beading are actually more reminiscent of the gown she wears when the Atreides arrive on Arrakis in part one.

A shoutout for Feyd-Rautha’s armor in the duel:

Idk I just really like how shiny it is. All the Harkonnen stuff reminds me of bugs (those evil looking shiny black beetles) I like how this is actually very much like a stillsuit and really similar to what Paul’s wearing, but more evil and shiny.

Last but CERTAINLY not least is just Chani’s blue scarf. BOY does this pull its visual weight. Like symbolism and meaning aside, it’s such a necessary piece of color in the all the desert scenes, and adds visual interest to what is a largely beige movie. In tons of the scenes most of the color is bright bright blue in the characters’ eyes and this scarf. And I think it adds a lot of joy and lightness to Chani’s appearance, which obviously symbolically changes as she does.

I just love costumes! This was a visually stunning film! I’m feeling very happy!

Why are you stanced like that you're 60

[astros-silly-place]

everyone should watch marble hornets, it’s a really good comedy!! where just some guys are makin a movie 😄 and nobody dies! ever! the operator…..who’s that? A transformer?? hahahaha

[horror-ful]

the indicator ticking in the final entry of mh is such a beautiful, poignant moment where a character is deciding his own future and we as the audience don't get to see what he chooses, what he's already chosen, just know that neither path is a happy ending

and the fact that it wasn't planned makes me insane

[zahra-hydris]

still so disappointed that ammabel doesn't get commissar reactivity with 'the commissar' in commorragh

[ceramicbeetle]

actually it's kind of funny how people will say Alex's fatal flaw is that he 'doesn't ask for help' and that it's his determination to handle things on his own that leads to his deterioration and eventual death when his whole introduction to the present-day timeline was a very literal cry for help that simply went ignored

[megafreeman]

Something I really hate about SR community is how many people misinterpret Boss' personality in Saints Row 2. Everyone always talks about Boss being "psycho" and angry like they were doing that for the impact and not the fact they lost 5 years of their life and everything they spent tooth and nail fighting for because they were betrayed by their closest

rereading chapter 12 of dfd and Jessica really is evil,,, I mean, I can justify it because she's my girl and also Fry hit her where it hurts the most, but she's really playing the long game with him. the long psychological torture game.

He widens his eyes. "You—you don't have to punish him again. Not for this mistake, please. It's only mine," he pleads, completely drenched in desperation.

"It won't be for this mistake." I shake my head. "It will be for that again. You chose his hands, and I'll cut them off if I want to."

It's been almost 5 years and she's still holding that against him instead of idk just killing him off as any normal villain would. let him gooooo. his existance is torture itself btw but he's not killing himself cuz he's afraid that she will hurt his little brother
