I figured that he'd had enough high-level training - in addition to being the Chosen One - that he could win a hand-to-hand fight. And I also figure that after wearing a stillsuit for a while, his hair won't be fluffy ... unless that's the look they're after.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now I'm going to have to watch for the effects of the stillsuit on the fluffiness of Atreides hair when I watch the movie. I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed without y'all bringing it up!

I can see Chalamet being lightning-fast and agile in a knife duel, but if he has to move the knife slowly like in Lynch's Dune he's not going to be able to puncture a windbreaker with it, much less body armor or a stillsuit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I checked the cast and didn't see the sister - Alia, right? - listed.
Aren't they doing it in two movies? So she'd be in the second one, I think.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dune in all of its forms is one of the holes in my geek education.

Pink Floyd! Oh yes. Should they change the lyrics to when The Sun is eclipsed by the Dune?

A young man who used to work in my office had claimed to be a nerd, but when I said something about Dune he was clueless. He was VERY young.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh right, I'd forgotten about that.

I remember the Lynch Dune, with a young and dishy Kyle MacLachlan. And Sting in a weird plastic speedo that looked like bird wings? Anyway, clearly my memory was not about anything related to groundbreaking (as it were) SF. I'm interested in the new one, and once movies are a thing again, I'll probably get the usuals together to watch it.

As I recall, Muad D'ib also refers to one of the moons of Arrakis, so "eclipsed by the moon" is arguably appropriate
