I will also see it but regarding visuals i expected much more from it. Also because i loved the visuals for BR2049, which increased my expectations for Dune.

I don't know, i was disappointed about the visual aspects. Visually it looks somehow bland and boring, devoid of any colour and wonder. The set design is also far too ancient/stoney looking, like a medieval film. I mean look at that boring library set or the establishing shot of the atreides home base, that looks like a generic medieval castle or even a temple ruin. I really miss a sense of wonder and awe which is something i expect from a science fiction film which takes place in outer space and on different planets.

Really looking forward to this 😊

Will be there on both dates

@InTheCity I guess your interview never was finished and posted anywhere? Well, now that the PoA score got its deserved release we finally have all kinds of interesting background information included in the La-la-land Booklet.

Yes, i used this tracking website, which was faster and more detailled than usps tracking: https://trackitonline.org

My package arrived today. I was among the first few orders and was very lucky that customs procedure went fast. Last year the Jurassic Box arrived in January and was stuck in customs for over 3 weeks. Seems to be a bit of a lottery.

Ordered, #166752

War Horse would be another one for me

I had packages stuck in custom for over a month. The Jurassic Park Set ordered on the first day arrived in January... so i really hope i have more luck this year.

Fantastic news, really incredible! This made my day. Kudos to all involved, especially to Lalaland, MM and Jason.

Trailer looks good.

Interesting post i read that i want to share here, which shows the stupidness of the whole backstory of the sequel trilogy: The politics of the sequels is so puzzling. First it's so vague and unhelpful for creating context during the movie, then they use books to fill in the details, but the movie has established details that are so dumb that the book explanations end up completely contradictory... Here, follow this 'logic': Q: So why didn't the New Republic want to take on the First Order themselves? Why are the Resistance on their own? A: Well acting directly would destabilize the galaxy and start a shooting war. They were in a Cold War type situation that could easily slip into a conflict that would cost billions of lives. Q: Oh, wow, sounds intense. So the NR must have been stockpiling weapons and constantly monitoring the FO in case the bad guys decided to nuke them or do some Pearl Harbour thing, right? A: No, the NR planets were afraid of the central government turning into a new empire like what happened under Palpatine, so they decided to disarm down to just a defense fleet so the individual planets couldn't be dominated by a single central force. Q: Oh, so I guess they split up the command of the armed forces then? And stationed the ships at different points around the galaxy so that the whole military couldn't go rogue all at once? And the individual planets had their own national guard type forces under their own command? A: Oh no, none of the individual planets had military. And the NR put the whole fleet around the central government planet under central command and- Q: But you just said they were afraid of a dominant central government! A: ...and then the FO Pearl Harbored them. With nukes. And wiped out all the NR's military power. Which was conveniently stationed around the central government. Even though the people didn't want them to have all the military power. Q: ...fuck you.

Amazing and beautiful, although in a quite melancholic way

@Chen G. I just reacted to the insulting post John made towards Mattris. Someone has to, if the majority on this thread seems to not care anymore or even support such a behaviour. And i bow to you Mattris, its a pleasure to read your well thought out and well articulated discussion points and arguments. And all that in the face of massive opposition and even nastiness by some posters in this thread.
