Mouseboy in Dune

Get it right, OP: he's rat face, not mouseboy.

I think it’s going to flop.

Mousheboy

Ratfashe

How does he get these leading roles? His acting was so wooden in films like The King and Little Women.

Enough of this overrated, overused actor. Cast somebody else for a change.

Will Duncan Idaho eat the peach?

Is he the Kwisatz Haderach?

Well the good news is you might get covid and die before it comes out so you can shut the fuck up. I dont WANT that to happen of course but it could.

looks great! Can't wait to see this version of Dune. I think it's perfect casting for that role.

Finally, a reason to see Dune.

lol lil jealous bitches on datalounge (all the 2 of them) who are spamming all the threads with "ratface" "overrated" and "wooden" like a bot - brace yourself, cos he is not going anywhere. You ll have to put up with him your whole miserable life

i actually bet that this 2 miserable mfs (maybe it even 1 person) who have constant butthurt from Timothee's existence are very sad that there are no more threads about him so they actually have to go to other not related threads like Maddens and such just to write their robotic "ratfaced" . Awww such ardent loyalty *clapclapclap*

11 12 here. Actually now i think this person might be sick. like mentally. for real. The fixation and anger kinda showing the signs....and now i feel bad for them all of a sudden

R7 he's the Sasquatch Orrinhatch.

R13: I agree. People have the right to their opinions but don’t force them on every single thread.

No r7 -- He's the Kumkquat Hamintash

He isn't strong enough to be Paul Atreides. It requires an actor who can project authority, and Timotheee doesn't.

Timothee has a very unattractive body type. The nicest way I can describe it would be "a classic full blown AIDS physique."

R13, the fact that this means so much to you that someone else disdains him suggests you're the one who's mentally ill.

And he does have art face, hunty.

*rat face

[quote] He isn't strong enough to be Paul Atreides. It requires an actor who can project authority,

Clearly r17 has never read Dune. Paul begins on a pretty standard “hero’s journey” learning curve. He is 16 in the first book. Exactly how much authority is a kid in his late teens suppose to have?

Does anybody on here know who's playing Feyd the character Sting played in David Lynch's. Oscar Isaac cancels out Timmy. Damn handsome man. It looks good.

R22 they actually look alike that's why he was chosen to play Tim's dad

r22 rumours it ll be Harry Styles - yeah crazy. But it is the only rumours we have. Maybe it is not true

He looks good

So, Dune + The French Dispatch + Going Electric + the play in London + CMBYN part 2 and counting...

[quote] He looks good

What are those flying toasters behind him?

[quote]Exactly how much authority is a kid in his late teens suppose to have?

A kid genius who's been trained from a young age in politics, combat, and multiple esoteric disciplines?

It's a tough role to cast.

But I like Villeneuve and I'm hopeful.

R26: People are tired of him being cast in everything. There are other actors of his generation that are more talented and attractive.

[quote]People are tired of him being cast in everything. There are other actors of his generation that are more talented and attractive.

I'm not. I want him to be cast in as many movies as possible. There may be people more talented, but I can't think of one I find more attractive who's Timmy's age.

To me the film still has allusions to Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, one of the most iconic Romantic era paintings.

I’m reading the novel for the first time—I missed it when I was 16, which may have been the optimal age for its writing level (though I’m enjoying it as an escape—like Ivanhoe, a romance more than a novel). I heard an interesting podcast about its Islamic elements, which got me to pick it up. I’m only 125 pages in, but, so far, I can Timothee in the role—but then I don’t have what seems like the truly pathological hatred for him some of you have. I can see finding him “meh” (I don’t — I’ve liked him in the few things I’ve seen him in), but I don’t get the degree of bloodlust some of you have.

They are jealous that he is so much cuter than they ever were.

Casted.

R32 Ironically I did read it at 16, and I remember being so excited in college when it was announced that the movie was being made, I could not wait to see what that world was going to look like. There were some striking visuals and I was in love with Sting, so it was worth seeing, although ultimately it was disappointing. And I never read beyond the first book.

interesting if there were the same talks about Al Pacino in 70ties - that people are tired of him. Imagine we would not see some of his masterpieces because of it?

R34, there is no such thing as 'casted' . Bloody illiterate! Cast is an irregular verb, the past simple form of cast is 'cast'

Capisce?

R37, there is a “casted” troll (as hard to believe that is). He posts just the word “casted” on casting-related threads apparently just to rile up people like you.

He is pretty and charismatic, but it does seem unfair and tiresome that he gets so many of the big leading roles (as eagerly recited by R26). There surely must be other perhaps even more talented actors out there in his age group. It's nice to see a fresh face, just as he was once. The constant cheerleading by his fans is also off-putting. And no, R11 , he will not be around forever. He'll be around as long as he's pretty and keeps his fanbase, two very interrelated factors. This is clearly a popularity contest and right now he's winning, but stars fade, more often than not.

R38 ha. I see....so I take it that this person knows how to spell it properly and only does it for shits and giggles. Somehow I am still not convinced but thank you anyway for the 'heads up'

R39 talented stars don't. And who would you rather see in this instead of TIm?

Yes, R40. The poster even started a thread a few years ago (see link). I think that’s around the time he started posted “casted” in casting threads.

Posted = posting

Inadvertent I swear.

R39: I agree. I think his looks will fade fast and won't be as relevant in say five years from now.

R44, in 5 years' time he'll be 29. Surely people's looks don't fade at 30, not in the 21st century anyway.

I think the bottom line is overexposure more often than not hurts a career. Most actors don’t have sustained popularity. In Hollywood, the world is your oyster one minute and the next you’re yesterday’s news.

Timothée is the only actor in his age group who can do this part. He’s the only proven leading man. You have people like Ansel Elgort who is a fug and bad actor without any trace of charisma. Then you have Lucas Hedges who can’t command the screen even when he’s the lead. Who is also a fug. There are some people a few years younger who also get cast in absolutely everything like those Stranger Things kids but many of them can’t act or will remain like most child actors, strange dwarfs as they mature and get less cute.

Timmy is in a class of his own if you want dramatic actor with range, looks, charm.

Tom Holland is the only alternative and he’s even more overused and isn’t really a proven draw outside of Spider-Man.

[quote]The constant cheerleading by his fans is also off-putting.

Chalamet's fans are like the Bernie Sanders fans. They don't seem to realize, or maybe just don't care, that they do their guy harm with their incessant championing of him and insistence that he is DDL the sequel/the Messiah. He's a talented young actor who may ascend to great heights someday and deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the greats but right now he's a kid who's been coasting on his breakout role for a couple of years.

Enough to have adults take orders from a 16-year old, r21. I'm sorry, but Timotheee looks like he'd be taking orders. For Happy Meals.

Bearing in mind that we live in a world where the unwashed hordes are desperately crying out that Boyega is the new Washington and Pratt is the new Ford, there's no better shorthand for the decay of Hollywood leading men in the past 20 years than Bale versus Chalamet as Laurie.

With a prestigious director and very solid cast, they could have taken the opportunity to cast an unknown as Paul. But that probably made the studio nervous.

I have no idea why they thought people wanted a Dune reboot. This is a film that generally doesn’t do well with the public. This really should’ve been a tv series. The Vanity Fair photos release today and yesterday prove that they’re gonna hype the shit out of this.

If they were going to cast white boy of the month, they should’ve gone with Logan Lerman. I’m sure the casting director thought these were the best people for the job *sigh*

Even if Dune gets delayed, I still see this following the Blade Runner 2049 trajectory both at the box office and awards.

R21 : Most 16 year old males are bigger than he is now. He's TINY.

All stills

[quote]I have no idea why they thought people wanted a Dune reboot.

Because it was pitched as "'Game of Thrones' in space."

R53 btw what happened with Logan Lerman? I was not around on twitter or anywhere else close to movies back then but i watched a few movies with him in 2016 ( one with Emma watson and one with Lily Collins) and noticed him. Also i rememebr that he had a serious movie with Brad Pitt (about war) But i did not witness his crazy popularity phase. Did he had one? was it as big as Timothee's? WHat was the talk? Why he disappeared? I tried to watch the TV series with him that just came out and honestly - hated it and he seemed bland in it

Oh yeah i watch his movie about Musketeers - loved him there. He was cute. So what is the scope on him? I can see he is still well liked by the same crowd that likes Timothee

As for Timothee and overexposure - feel like it already happened. And i agree that his stans are nuts and ve been hurting his image big time. Teen love is the worst thing that could happened to him. He ve been screwd since then. Cos he may disappear but lil silly girls will post stupid shit about him, memes tiktoks and push his face at others till those others who ve never seen any movie with him will puke

Dune has historically been the end of a career for those involved. So yeah!

I have seen his pee-pee. Not impressed for a big ol' man "Kwisatz Haderach."

Wow, you manage to squeeze Berner bashing into a thread about Timothee Chalamet. I'm impressed. Usually fans of actors or even politicians don't do their guy harm no matter how incessant. Think Bieber, or 1D. Or Adam Lambert's fraus. Then there's Obama and JFK. If Tim didn't have rabid fans he'd be doing worse, not better. The business and the media always pay attention to rabid fan bases.

I didn't think Kyle MacLachlan was good casting either. It agree with the poster above that it should have been an unknown with great acting chops and a rock solid supporting cast.

[quote]Usually fans of actors or even politicians don't do their guy harm no matter how incessant.

Well, Bernie's fans are the exception, because virtually any outlet that's covered the primaries has carried pieces discussing how a sizable percentage of voters find his vocal supporters off-putting as fuck even if they liked some his policies. I've seen the same thing about Chalamet's fans, on various sites: people acknowledge his talent but are repelled by his stans. Stans, by the way, that didn't make many of his post-Call Me By Your Name projects the successes they were hoped to be despite their rabidity.

I can't wait for this movie!

Denis Villeneuve is a genius!

[quote] Stans, by the way, that didn't make many of his post-Call Me By Your Name projects the successes they were hoped to be despite their rabidity.

Not true

R53, are you his agent? What you are doing smacks of desperation

The audience that blockbuster Hollywood chases after is 14 to 30 year old men and Timmy doesn't connect with that audience. He has a niche fan base, someone like George Mackay would have been a better choice. These movies aren't made for art, they are made to make money and this film won't and if it bombs hard enough who do you think will be the face of the bomb? Poor Timmy who will go the same way off Alden Ehrenreich and the many other actors that Hollywood were desperate to make "happen".

R68 I thought Villeneuve was an “art” director, not a “money maker“ director? If what you say is the case, why is he the director?

Very few people had heard of Sam Worthington before AVATAR.

Cameron got him cheap, had a mega-blockbuster, a laughed all the way to the bank.

Denis Villeneuve should have learned from the master producer.

R70 Avatar was a crock of shit. No-one remembers it.

Repulsive and talent free. This will flop strictly because he’s in it.

[quote] Very few people had heard of Sam Worthington before AVATAR.

Lol, no one has heard of Sam Worthington since Avatar, dear.

That's not the point. The point is Chalamet is wrong for the part.

R68 Tim is already happening. Please keep up

[quote] The audience that blockbuster Hollywood chases after is 14 to 30 year old men (sic) boys

That's a cliche. This is not true anymore

Drippy looking cunt.

He looks a lot like Tom Hiddleston as Loki in that pic. Tom could have played Leto Atreides

[quote] With a prestigious director and very solid cast, they could have taken the opportunity to cast an unknown as Paul.

I miss the “And Introducing” credit.

I cannot unsee this and now neither can you.

He’s very handsome and talented. Why were you so triggered? Why did you even bother to post in every Timmy’s thread? Jealousy?

I’m still trying to figure out whether the top of his face is too big, or the bottom too small.

excellent casting! except chani. chani is a waif with invisible strength, quiet beauty. not a supermodel.

r80 i am puzzled too why some people are so triggered by Timothee. Like i can get that you may be neutral or do not like a person with no reason. But we can see that more often people are obsessively fixated on hating him. Not a normal level of participating - bulling on every platform. Like the level of mocking him on twitter became unnerving. It is as if they do not think he is a real person anymore, like when a kid cut off a dolls head cos it is not alive or smth. Absolute cruelty. I have never met this level of desire to destroy someone from public space ever. Maybe Biber, but i have grown up already and never paid attention to that part of showbiz but i remember the whole world was making fan at him. Like it was cool to shit on him at some point. And he was like 15 or 16 back then. I mean if i remember it living in a 3d world country and being an adult listening to rock and noticed it, then it must had been savage. I have found 4 groups who are extra in bringing Timothee down: women who find him too gay and girl-like (they mostly body-shame him for being too thin and ugly), some of the lgbtq+ people for various reasons (they mostly bodyshame him for being too thin and ugly too), straight dudes hate him for the same reason they hated RobPats and Biber and Rudolf Valentino in 20ties, teens (boys and girls) who caught the trend that hating on him on social will give them "i am not like other girls" points. Just hope it will not get to him and he will not hang himself or smth. Biber pretty much fucked up after all of it as we can see. No one can take it easily

Actually i am more surprised not even that he triggers others but that in western world with all your so-called wokeness and your religion (you are very religious to us ) you (and i mean adults with verified accounts on social media) so easily and passionately bullying other people and taking pleasure in it for just some hundreds of fucking likes. And the next day like nothing happens preaching about body-positive shit and acceptance of others when just yesterday you called Timothee thin skeleton with an ugly face and posted that screenshot from CMBYN of his ass and laughing at it for that clout. And not only him. He is just an easy noticeable target right now but you attack other celebs who ve done nothing just for the joy of it. And then you call yourself a 1st world society. I have to laugh

After covid, I'm not going to the movie theater anytime soon but this film is one I will purchased to stream at home. It looks exciting and much better than Lynch's version.

R83, where are you from? Interesting perspective. Thanks for posting.

[quote] because virtually any outlet that's covered the primaries has carried pieces discussing how a sizable percentage of voters find his vocal supporters off-putting as fuck even if they liked some his policies.

You mean there were actual polls asking people if they found Bernie's supporters "off-putting as fuck"? Because you claim "a sizable percentage of voters" thought so. How was this statistic arrived at?

Maybe you should watch something other than corporate sponsored mainstream media. It can't be proven Bernie's supporters are more off-putting than anyone else's supporters. It's a completely unprovable statement.

I mean here you are, apparently a supporter of someone else - being pretty off-putting about Bernie's supporters for no reason in a thread that's not even about this subject.

[quote] And then you call yourself a 1st world society. I have to laugh

America’s a rough place, toots. Always.

R83 It could be a backlash against the media's absolute adoration of him, his success, and his very vocal fanbase. It could be that some of his haters are secretly in love with him but resentful of his power over them. Otherwise, why take the time and go to such effort to express mean-spirited views? It is odd how much passion he evokes in people, but I think ultimately that benefits him. Better than being forgettable.

I guess people won't keep getting him mixed up with Lucas Jade Zumann now.

Even Troye Sivan is leaving him behind.

Now he and Finn Wolfhard are the only ones left holding up the über-skinny twink flag.

R88, Why are you answering the troll? The so called animosity for Tim is in her warped mind. Ignore

wtf is this? Is Armie Hammer trying to still Tim's thunder? So because Dune publicity has stepped up, he needs to upstage the kid? What is this about?

*steal*

R92

Perhaps it's for a role?

Most likely. I know, but isn't it a bit of a coincidence? Weeks ago before the Dune images dropped he couldn't have done the stunt? Or waited till later?

Look at me! I'm Armie Hammer, I need attention

He doesn’t look “fine.”

R92 the closet really did a number on Oliver

He has Julia Louis Dreyfus’ big head and sharp jaw.

r91 the only troll here is you, dear. keep your head in the sand. tnx god, we still have the freedom to express our opinions on this board but i get that you mark as a "troll" anyone who you disagree with. Just want you to know its very immature. Grow up. I believe in you)

r85 Russia. i mean here everybody fucked up too but we never claimed to be woke and superior in this sense

100 here. The funny thing in Dune group in Russian social media one dude made a lot of noise about how he is not gonna watch the movie cos Timothee made that gay movie and dared to kiss a dude in it. lol. Then other dude tried to explain him that he is an actor and mentioned all the other beloved actors that also made such movies at some point of their lives or gays in real life that that homophobe guy eventually wrote "I wish i never knew it tbh" (esp he got offended that he will never watch Pulp fiction anymore - cos Travolta ahaha) Imagine live in this shit. though i guess these kind of nutcases are everywhere

Those stupid homophobes don't realize that gays are literally everywhere: as actors, directors, composers, hair and make up, costumes, hosts.... the list is endless. They better should stop watching any movies tbh and spare us their homophobia.

This 'comedian' claims to be dating Tim. Why don't his people do something about it.

He's fully clothed. Nothing for Armie to masturbate to.

r103

Isn't he just being tongue-in-cheek? People call their celebrity crushes their "boyfriend" all the time.

Now that I've had a look at the comments on that post, I assume you're the same drama queen who's making a fuss over there as well, taking this much more seriously than it was intended.

Maybe, but it is definitely cringe-worthy. It explains why many celebrities are keen to do a lot of 'social distancing' from their fans.

He's a decent actor but I don't get why people are saying hes overexposed. Most people have barely seen anything he's done. Mainstream movie audiences didn't pay to see his "breakout" role in CMBYN or anything else he's done. Assuming Villeneuve doesn't fuck this up, which he probably won't, this will be Chalamet's breakout role. Or it will be one of the most expensive disasters in Hollywood history.

R108 He's only overexposed to the people posting here, who are obsessed with him. The general public is still getting to know him. R89 That's fucking terrifying mate.

[quote] R89 That's fucking terrifying mate.

Why?

R92 yes, that’s some weird timing. Solidifying what I already suspected, he’s obsessed with the kid. He even has his friends communicating with Timmy’s fans. I’m afraid how crazy his brain is.
