Oscar Awards and movies bets and discussions

On Dune 3, he has already mentioned that the script is ready, however, he also mentioned that he wants to rest from the Dune universe and make another type movie. I speculate this to be Sicario 2. I also very much like to see this hehehe. I predict Dune 3 might arrive in 5 years.

Since rest of Dune books are pretty crappy (I mean after Messiah), no wonder that he is not interested in making more movies, and I hope no one else will. Regarding Sicario, I don't know if you missed it, but there is already Sicario 2, released back in 2018.

Btw, I saw yesterday Dune 2 for the 2nd time (decent rip is finally out) and I have to say that first part was still better for me. Good luck with your bet, but I think that chances of you winning are quite low and it will be a bad film year if that ends as a best movie we saw this year. Another thing that doesn't help it is the release date, which is way too early meaning it will be very expensive to create Oscar hype once again.

I haven't been able to watch it last week because the movie screening time at the theater wasn't convenient for me (I saw The First Omen instead) but if you find it worse than the first opus, I think I won't wait to be able to watch it before betting lol. BBC are you still ok to bet against me? We can bet on another outcome about the movie with different odds, if you are less confident lol.

I reckon this Sicario Rise of the soldado was not the real Sicario 2 that Denis Villenueve would have created. This Rise of the soldado is a frighfully ugly created movie to continue the story of Sicario. There are rumors that Denis Villenueve will fix this with Sicario: Capo. This is an unconfirmed rumor, however.

@Saint-loup. Yes of course hehehehehe! We agree I bet $50 and you bet $500 for the terms of the bet that has been mentioned? I will make it less painful for you heheheheeh.

Keep in mind that original Sicario was not only Villenueve's movie, screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (who also wrote sequel) also played a big part in that movie success.

That would be a bad move imho, as chances of making a good 3rd part are very slim.

@Rikafip. Agreed. Tyler Sheridan also directed a good action movie about the rape and death of an American Indian teenager, Wind River starring Hawkeye and the Scarletwitch from the Avengers hehhe. Sicario 2 producers have certainly made a mistake on hiring the Italian spaghetti western director to direct Sicario 2. Tyler Sheridan might have been better for this, I reckon.

I will remove 2024 from the title and keep this thread unlocked for my bet against @Saint-loup.

Yeah I saw it. He is also behind some excellent movies and series and he is one the rare creators currently active that I follow and bascially watch anything he makes.

My guess is that Solimma got hired due his work on Gomorra (which is an excellent series that I recommend), but sequels are always tricky and almost nmever as good as the originals. For that reason I woulnd't like to see 3rd Sicario part, even if Villeneuve comes back to direct it.

Tyler Sheridan deserves a win. I watched the Yellow Stone series after he was interviewed by Joe Rogan Podcast telling some trivial facts about the craziest laws in history.  I think most of his films are based on what's going on in Indian reservations. Just like that Wind River. That podcast is worth watching by the way.

The Dune 2 is indeed a flop. I first watched the first on Netflix, it was better.  I thought it would end like Monster Hunter but disappointing in the end.

Win for what exactly?

The Dune 2 is indeed a flop. I first watched the first on Netflix, it was better.

While I agree that first part is better movie, I don't think that 2nd part is flop by any metric. Both critics and public like it, while it managed to make almost $700 million, against ~$200 million that was spent. On top of that, it will receive more than a few Oscar nominations and probably win at least few (mostly those in tehncial categories).

I thought it would end like Monster Hunter but disappointing in the end.

What's the point comparing it with another movie? Especially since its a movie based on books so its not like they can (or should) change the end dramatically.
