I for one would welcome a blooper film reel of Justin Bieber being shot off like a cannonball.

But you couldn't google "Cannonball Run" or "blooper reel"?

p.s. there appears to be a wealth of homophobic jokes surrounding this Kutcher guy. Are you sure these aren't retrofitted 80s jokes?

McNutt · Post by **McNutt** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 10:53 am

Was Cannonball Run the first movie to feature bloopers? It's the first one I think of.
I remember being in line to see the movie and seeing half the crowd come out. About five minutes later the rest of the crowd starts to trickle out. I didn't know what was going on until I saw the bloopers. Weird how that memory still sticks out.

Max Peck · Post by **Max Peck** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:07 am

The internet says that one of the earliest movies to feature a blooper/outtake reel in the end credits was Hooper (1978).

McNutt · Post by **McNutt** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:12 am

So I'm wondering if it was a Burt Reynolds thing or a Hal Needham thing. I'm guessing Burt Reynolds because we never got that blooper reel for Megaforce. I'm still pissed about that.

LordMortis · Post by **LordMortis** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:14 am

I don't think it was the first but I think it was the one to catch the idea on fire, which also makes it push all the others out of memory.

Google found people who speculate

The earliest movie I can find that used bloopers and outtakes in the credits is Being There

, which premiered in the United States on December 19, 1979. This would make it slightly earlier than the blooper reels at the end of Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and Cannonball Run (1981). You can see the Peter Sellers outtakes that screened at the end of Being There in the clip below:

I believe very first movie to do this was Hooper
(1978)
, another Hal Needham film. In Hooper, it was mostly just stunt footage not used in the main film, though there were one or two true "bloopers" included.

I swear there were older films but I was very young then and its easy confuse blooper at the end of movies, with the series That's Entertainment (With Tom Bosley) and with ONTV (pay TV OTA from before cable) and with film festivals of blooper reels that used to tour.

Can we get a thread name change please?
Something like, 'Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune (Burt Reynolds Blooper Reels)'

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 1:41 pm

We haven’t established that Burt Reynolds is the originator of the blooper reel though. I think before we do anything that rash, we need to spend a lot more time researching and presenting our results on the origins of the blooper reel. Now, LM, did you have anything else?

Sure, every time I see Legendary, I see Legendary Encounters and wonder how the game is going to work. I've only ever played Legendary Encounters X Files. Are all of the Legendary Encounters game similar? If you played Legendary Encounters Dune, would you have this sort of alliance of four or six or whatever characters. Who would they be? I think Paul is safe to assume.

But on topic, the first blooper stuff I remember was touring stuff for Star Trek bloopers. They used to advertise them on the radio all of the time. As I could not find blooper for Dune, I'll just leave a blooper for Gurney

Best I can do is some deleted scenes.

Welp, I own a copy of Lynch’s Dune and I’m gonna have to watch it for the goofs now.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 10:06 pm

Make it a drinking game. I recommend Fireball or Goldschlager, maybe some Captain Morgan. The spice must flow.

That would be the entire 3 hour director's cut.

Is it as bad as the YA versions of Dune by Brian Herbert?

Don't know, but the director Villeneuve said in an interview he was hard pressed to finish the post-production stuff in time. So hopefully at least some of the delay will go into more polishing.

October 22nd

With the fall and early winter corridor looking fiercely competitive, Warner Bros. is changing a trio of release dates in order to best position its movies. All of them will still go day-and-date on HBO Max (for the first 31 days) with theatrical.

With MGM/United Artists Releasing’s 007 movie No Time to Die on Oct. 8, Warners will not play Legendary’s Dune in its wake, rather go on Oct. 22 with the all-star ensemble sci-fi pic based on the Frank Herbert novel. Dune will also be released in 3D and Imax. Dune is making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and it will be hitting TIFF.

Instead on Oct. 1, Warners will release the Alan Taylor directed, David Chase produced and co-written Sopranos New Line feature prequel The Many Saints of Newark. Pic was most recently scheduled for Sept. 24.

This is my most anticipated movie in the last two years or so. I cannot wait. I think I'm going to watch The Arrival and Bladerunner 2049 again just to remind myself how good a director Villeneuve is.

p.s. has this been mentioned before?

Dune: Sisterhood - TV series set in the 'Dune' universe which centers on the lives of the Bene Gesserit.

Unless there is braid-pulling and skirt-smoothing, I am not interested.

Lassr · Post by **Lassr** » Thu Jul 22, 2021 11:52 am

I cannot wait to see this. I watched the other one back my senior year in high school and while I liked it back then ok, it wasn't memorable, and really had no desire to re-watch after all these years later. This one looks good. I think I read the book around 1986 so really do not remember everything that happens in the book.

Still chasing that dream of a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants spin off, eh?

Holman · Post by **Holman** » Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:34 pm

If IMDB's cast list is comprehensive, there's no Feyd-Rautha in this movie. They're apparently emphasizing Beast Rabban as Second Baddie.

(This movie is of course just the first half of the novel, but Feyd does have some small scenes early in the book.)

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Thu Jul 22, 2021 1:19 pm

I can't hear the name Feyd-Rautha without immediately wanting to yell "I WILLLLLL kill him!"

Christ, was there any scenery left in that movie after Sting got done chewing it all up?

Small scene, but important one. He is fighting in the gladiator arena with Count Fenring in attendence, and they explain all of the cheats Feyd employes to make sure of victory, including drugging the combatants first. Except this time, he's up against an undrugged, motivated Atreides soldier and needs to use his poisoned dagger to kill him.

It foreshadows the combat with Paul.

Meh. Having Zendaya as Chani pretty much ruins it for me. I just dont like her. Ill stick to the 1984 version.

She's in the 1984 version too.

1984, when everybody in the universe was white.

Archinerd · Post by **Archinerd** » Thu Jul 22, 2021 4:24 pm

Feyd's not in this one because it's just bad story telling to introduce a character you don't do anything with.

My guess is they will properly introduce him for part 2.

His function early in the book is to demonstrate that the Baron has plans deeper than just cruelty. Rabban's role as planetary governor is to produce spice through harsh measures and oppression. The plan was then to send Feyd as a savior (unknowingly mimicking Paul's path) who would replace (and probably kill) Rabban and cement the Harkonnens' place on Arrakis.

This could all be presented in Part 2, though.

Archinerd · Post by **Archinerd** » Thu Jul 22, 2021 9:18 pm

I agree, he's important, but they will figure it out. There are options, maybe a flashback at the start of part 2?
