‘Dune: Part Two’ First Look: Timothée Chalamet Is Back as Paul Atreides

Kyle had a nicer ass

His last movie was a flop. The first Dune could’ve been an even bigger hit if they cast somebody else in the role.

Timmy is still a bigger star right now, than any other male actor in his age group.

That said, I think that Miles Teller would have made a great Paul Atreides.

Especially coming on the heels of his success in Top Gun: Maverick.

Coincidentally, he looks a lot like Kyle MacLachlan.

R3: Please as Bones and All told us he's nothing but a social media thing. He's not DiCaprio 2.0 or a star.

R3 Miles Teller is a much better actor than Chalamet, but he looks NOTHING like Kyle MacLachlan, who is classically handsome. Also, he would have been too old for the role, but plenty of other people could have brought more to the role for sure than Chalamet.

[quote] That said, I think that Miles Teller would have made a great Paul Atreides.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 You want this movie to have negative box office?

Why do you say that, R6?

Top Gun: Maverick was the highest grossing movie of all time!

They certainly should have cast someone more masculine than chalamet.

Wasn’t he supposed to be an A-List star by now? What happened??

I want to lick Timmy's ball and taint while he's in the Paul Atreides costume.

PART 2?! Hellllll naw.

Has Timmy ever been rimmed?

I would love to introduce him to it.

R1: I was going to say face but absolutely ass too.

R9: Fugly, zero range, his movies bomb, wears genderless clothes. Take your pick.

The first episode disappointed so completely

Wonder what he's going to wear for this movie's screening, which will be talked about more than the movie and the actors starring in it.

Timmy looks gorgeous in this French interview.

He always looks good when he doesn't dress over-the-top.

In fact, they all look good. Even Sorsha and Poo.

Is anyone interested in men anymore?

A second Avatar AND a second Dune?

An embarrassment of ... zzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[quote]wrapped in Budapest, Hungary

Liberal Hollywood won't shoot in Georgia or Texas over abortion, but will shoot in that authoritarian deplorable hellscape that is Hungary, I've always found that fascinating. Especially when Prague is [italic]right there,[/italic] and it offers everything Budapest offers.

I'm only interested if the sequel revolves around Charlotte Rampling's character. Otherwise, pass. I was bored out of my mind with the first one.

His black hair looks amazing In the OP.

[quote] Especially when Prague is right there, and it offers everything Budapest offers.

Prague is full of whores.

Plus, it's much more expensive than Budapest.

No thanks!

I read Dune during covid lockdown and the other books since then. I'm not a fantasy or sci-fi reader, but the world is pretty fascinating. I liked the first movie from the standpoint of seeing that world on screen and was generally happy with their treatment of the plot. Looking forward the 2nd movie (which will wrap up the first Dune book). I thought Chalamet was fine but not memorable. My lasting impression was an actor who spent the movie looking bored and with an emotional range an inch wide.

He does look good with that darker hair.

When is this Rodent going to go away.

I hate his cold, callous eyes.

I don’t know why they are so goddamn hell bent on promoting him as a sex symbol actor. Yeah he’s got an interesting look, threatening eyes, and curly hair but he’s not even remotely hot. He doesn’t have the face for it and he doesn’t have the body for it. Bones and All and Dune consisted of him just staring and posing like a model with zero emotional range.

"The Harkonnen stuff" is Austin Butler's Feyd-Rautha in a knife-fight to the death with Paul Atreides.

Timmy has the kind of face that won't age well.

I predict he'll become fat and jowly.

You look at some old actors today. They're not attractive, but then you look at them when they were younger, and they were hot as hell.

That's Timmy.

r30 He does enough drugs to prevent the fat part

Is there any point to this? I think tryinmg top make a movie of Dune is a hopeless task. I am not sure whether it is because the book is so wonderous and epic or because it it so stupiod. Anyway, the firsdty Dune was passable because of its total excess and confusion and because of Sting's Space Biini.

I love his hair!!!

Well according to Chalamet's fangirls, Dune was made specifically as a star vehicle for him. They actually think that.

R7 - stop making up horseshit. Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time - not Maverick: Top Gun - which comes in at #11.

How many of "movie star" Timothee Chalamet's films are on that list?

I’m starring in Prune: 2

Zero R36.

[quote] I’m starring in Prune: 2

R37 = GREG.

R30 That's why he's getting it while he can.

Now Slower and Duller Than Ever!

[quote] I’m starring in Prune: 2

[quote] [R37] = GREG.

Sorry, R37 & R39 – it wasn't me

R29: Yes, but I doubt Frank Herbert, when he was writing the knife fight between Paul and Feyd, envisioned deadly combat involving two slight androgynous twinks.

Princess Irulan is described as tall and beautiful, the opposite of squat and generically-pretty Florence Pugh. Villeneuve casts roles based on who is currently flavor-of-the-moment, as he did with Zendaya and Jason Momoa.

The writer at IndieWire is a sloppy amateur. The prequel series mentioned is about the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, not the “Harkonnen Sisters.”

Austin Butler is neither androgynous nor slight, and unless he's lost muscle he's more twunk than twink

Young stars like louis partridge and Walker scobell that have bright future ahead and will bring back the good looking actors with a good personality era. Thirsting over awkward and anorexic celebs like Timothee chalamet because they're just different from other men is just a phase. Good things to come in future.

R44: Austin had rhinoplasty that greatly reduced his nose. The surgery made his nose more feminine, hence his current androgynous appearance.

He was a twunk in his twenties, but has since lost weight and muscle in recent years. Whether he felt pressured to slim down to compete against Chalamet or because of some other reason, who knows?

De-twunked and twinkified:

r46 Still not androgynous

r47 "do keep up" says the person posting a photo from 2012

Chalamet has more masculine features with a stronger jawline compared to the photo at R46. Yeah, you’ve revealed yourself to be an Austin stan in denial.

Here’s a recent photo of your favorite twink at the 2022 Met Gala, with current girlfriend Kaia Gerber. Kaia is very skinny and he’s not much bigger than she is. LQTM.

No, I revealed myself as someone who actually knows what the word androgynous means.

^ Clearly, you have a narrow, self-serving definition of androgyny. Thanks to plastic surgery, Butler has a small button nose naturally found on women.

He definitely fits the criteria to be labeled a twink, fangurl.

*a small button nose naturally found on [bold]some[/bold] women.

R47, I adore Austin Butler, but he has become too, shall we say, svelte. But he did print modeling for Prada, e.g., so perhaps, not knowing where his acting career was headed for a while, he slimmed down (i.e., quit working out, as he clearly hit the gym in his "teen movies/Nickelodeon" days) for high fashion.

He slimmed down his nose, also, as his original one was not going to make him a leading man. But it is now not "a small button nose," not quite being bulbous, like his original nose!

Timothee has a Pretty Boy face, jawline nonetheless.

R53: Setting aside the physical changes as a career decision, he was a lot sexier and more masculine before the weight loss and plastic surgery.

r53 Facts are difficult for r47 to understand

This thread reeks of jealousy towards Timothee.

You always attack the younger and the prettier.

Sad.

"Prettier." That's hardly a term of DL "masculinity," r56!

I have slept with hot guys, borderline hot guys, I have seen hot actors but I can't consider Austin even close to hot. His face looks like a pig, the surgeries have made his appearance worse.

Austin is very androgynous non-binary. I can’t even tell if he’s a boy or girl in most of these pics, especially R53 and R54.

Suuure, r58, r59. Austin looks like a "non-binary," not hot, "pig."

R60 the moustache clearly saved him.

I think he’s trans due to the negative bulge at R60. It looks like he’s wearing a maxi pad.

R31/R34/R36/R44/R48/R50/R55 is posting from 2011, the last time Austin Butler could be described as muscular with a masculine face. He peaked at 20 and already looks weird at 31. What a pity.

R55: The ridiculousness of you talking about facts when you haven’t presented any visual proof to back up your belief that Austin is still a twunk and doesn’t look less masculine after the plastic surgery. I’ll be waiting forever (not that I would bother) because you have NOTHING to support your claims, whereas I have provided evidence several times to support mine.

You mock Timmy and his fans while fangurling over Austin at the same time. Hilarious! Two sides of the same crazy coin.

Austin today has a thinner frame and a little girl’s nose. A 2022 DL thread (below) discussed his rhinoplasty and newer look. He was described by posters as a twink, a “delicate, feminine beauty,” a drag king, and “looks like a lesbian as Elvis.” Whaddayaknow, that’s more than implying that he is androgynous-looking!

You have a minority opinion here, R55. Fact. Deal with it. Or not. An anonymous stan, in denial of reality because it gets in the way of his cherished delusions, is a dime a dozen on the internet. Although it will be wasted, you have my condolences, fangurl.

r63 Instead of getting so upset, you should look up what the word androgynous actually means. Cute though, referring to your own posts in other threads as some kind of proof.

And given I haven't even seen Elvis, nor actually anything Butler is in, I'm obviously not a particularly good "fangurl".

R64: Upset? LQTM. Just calling you out on your bullshit. You sure like to make things up, since your arguments are weak. You still haven’t proven me wrong. Plus, you were the one who got pissy at R44 because someone dared to criticize your idol. Do you forget where you are?

You have neither seen Elvis nor the rest of Austin’s work, yet you’ve spent an inordinate amount of time defending him here. Mocking Timmy is fine for you, but Austin is off limits for everyone else. Sure, hypocritical stan. You are disingenuous and fooling no one.

[bold]androgynous[/bold] (noun)

Def #2: The state of having traits of both male and female genders.

With Austin’s delicate nose naturally found on females, that definition applies here.

But yeah, I’m sooo upset. You resort to a personal attack unrelated to the topic because you failed at proving your point. That is the tactic of butthurt trolls. Like all trolls, you’ll double down, no matter how many links contradict your opinions. No doubt you didn’t check out the linked thread I provided. It would further reinforce that few agree with you. Oh no, we can’t have that.

Try again, dear. Maybe someday you will state something that’s actually factual.

^ Correction: the definition was for androgyny (noun), not androgynous (adjective).

[quote]You have neither seen Elvis nor the rest of Austin’s work, yet you’ve spent an inordinate amount of time defending him here. Mocking Timmy is fine for you, but Austin is off limits for everyone else. Sure, hypocritical stan. You are disingenuous and fooling no one.

Five posts - six including this one - tangentially related to Austin (though mostly mocking you), and you think that takes an inordinate amount of time? How slow do you type?

And people can mock him all they like, in fact the only other posts I've made about him in the past have been mocking the way he kept the Elvis accent up. As long as they use words properly.

So, go on, get started on another unhinged reply.

Austin speaks of getting role of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen:

".. the role of ..."

Also, he refers to Timothee as becoming "like a brother."

Ah I see Austin has mastered the PR platitudes like: “we bonded immediately,” “I really love him a lot,” “I’ve been a huge fan of his work,” “he feels like a brother now,” “he’s amazing.” I would’ve loved to have been a fly on the wall on that set.

Chalamet's last movie only made $4 million internationally.

LOL he's still doing the accent? I wonder whether he'll finally drop it come March. The whisper is the cherry on top.

Is Timmy a top or a bottom?

Yet [bold]ANOTHER[/bold] box office bomb R71.

R69: You know these two androgynous twinks fought at least once on set.

R68: Is every Hollywood actor getting paid a fortune to kiss Chalameh’s ass?

R74, You have no idea of the Austin Butler fandom. Combined with Timothee's and with "Dune" fans, this movie will be big at the Box Office.

But to add: We won't know until November/December 2023, so no point in arguing!

As in; Austin Butler [italic]has[/italic] fans do you mean R77?

R67: It’s not the number of posts. It’s the days you have spent, fool. Two days of you denying the facts and establishing your ignorance (an inordinate amount of time for someone who claims he doesn’t care that much about Austin Butler).

You cannot hide that you care. A lot. Someone who truly doesn’t care wouldn’t be invested in continuing his tedious bullshit at the start of Day 3.

You are laughably obtuse because you don’t even realize that androgyny has various definitions. The definition I used is easily applied to Austin. Plenty of other posters feel that his face is androgynous now. They, too, think he looks worse.

[quote]Cute though, referring to your own posts in other threads as some kind of proof.

You expose your delusional nature yet again. I never participated in the thread I linked at R63. I have never commented on any thread wherein Austin is a topic until this one. It takes little effort to find many commenters who concur with my point. The same cannot be said for you.

I briefly mocked him in my first post, since he has a role in the next Dune film and I like the Dune novels. Then, like a bitter frau, you quickly became a defensive stan on his behalf. How transparent.

Oh yes, everyone (here and on other threads) who has disagreed with your gushing Austin appraisal must all be my sock puppet accounts. Uh-huh, sure. The delusions continue. Are you projecting, dear, or are you paranoid? Sounds like a little of both. And this troll has the nerve to call me unhinged.

Well, this is the typical behavior of butthurt trolls. They fabricate lie after lie because they have neither facts nor valid points to contribute.

It’s amusing that you believe you are somehow “winning,” especially after you have shown your failure all over this thread. Splat! Failure at proving that Austin still has a twunk body. Failure at pretending you’re not invested in defending him. Failure at understanding the multiple meanings of androgyny. And stupid enough to think your opinion here is the prevailing one when the evidence shows otherwise.

You lost the initial disagreement after I had proven my point several times. Of course you came back again and again because you are an incompetent troll in need of attention. Hey, at least you are consistent in failure. That’s something. Carry on with your pitiful trollery. Do be sure to keep your lies consistent, though.

"Is Austin Butler androgynous" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate

[quote]You cannot hide that you care. A lot. Someone who truly doesn’t care wouldn’t be invested in continuing his tedious bullshit at the start of Day 3.

Says the pot to the kettle. And again, a couple of minutes over two days is inordinate to you, is it?

[quote]You expose your delusional nature yet again. I never participated in the thread I linked at [R63]. I have never commented on any thread wherein Austin is a topic until this one. It takes little effort to find many commenters who concur with my point. The same cannot be said for you.

"Look, there are other people who agree with me" doesn't exactly sound like someone secure in the knowledge they're right. Sounds rather pathetic and desperate. So pretty on-brand for you. So you got so upset, you went off to look for people who agree with you in another thread? That's actually even more unhinged than if you did quote your own posts.

Oh, and by the way, if you do think I'm a troll, the fact you're still replying to me means, yes I have won.

How droll, r79.

Supposedly production wrapped yesterday.

Art direction, set design, and CGI look cheap to me. I hate cheap looking "epics."

In case anyone here needs to know: Most women would find this 6' specimen of humanity attractive.

r85 The lack of colour doesn't help

R7 No, it wasn't. It's still Avatar. And Top Gun was a success because of Tom Cruise, not because of that other dude. Plus, it was made after Dune. How could Denis Villeneuve predict who's is going to be a star in the future? (that Top Gun dude is not a star)

Is he dating Punkie Johnson?

R82: You direct your lame snark at me and I’ll serve it right back. You and your ilk are always starting shit online. I’ve no problem exchanging insults with shit talkers who get in my face.

Unlike you, I was focused on the thread topic. You responded to me first and showed your ignorant ass in the process. Really, you should acquaint yourself with Google before spouting off. Still mad, boo, that I proved you were wrong?

You will continue to reply, which makes your pose of being above-it-all quite ludicrous. You are a sad amateur at faking it. What’s also sad is how you display a lack of credibility like it’s something to show off.

If winning to you means repeatedly telling yourself lies about me until they become the truth, then knock yourself out, anonymous nobody. Congratulations on your imagined little victory. You should be used to crumbs by now.

[quote] You know these two androgynous twinks fought at least once on set.

You think, R75?

Timmy certainly doesn't act like a bitchy diva.

He actually seems quite normal and down-to-earth, in all his interviews.

R91 ugly ones aren't smug, they are humble.

In real life, Timothee is a jerk.

When will he ever become a man? He seems to have an eating disorder.

Does anyone really believe TC considers Zendaya a sister? Or that she is in love with gay Tom Holland? Hahaha

Zendaya adds nothing to this franchise. She is a multi-racial blank. But I guess 'romance' will get the fraus interested.

What "romance," r95?

Frauen don't bother "'shipping"; teens and 20-somethings do that; we know that Zendaya and Pocket Gay Tom Holland aren't romantic, either.

R96 their PR will end after the next spider movie gets released

r91 Because no celeb ever has faked it for interviews.

Watch the Cannes photocall for The French Dispatch were he deliberately ignores the press person trying to get him out of the shot for a glimpse of the real Timothee

R91, I have no-one on "ignore," yet I see no post r75.

Timothee might look androgynous, particularly given the Red Carpet red fiasco. However, nothing besides slimness---not hairstyle, not face, not height, not attire--- says "androgynous" about Austin. Moreover, he wears no discernible make-up and no jewelry but for a Cartier ring, and he IS an official Cartier "ambassador."

I'm not arguing Austin's sexuality. I'm saying I don't see the feminine look about him.

Austin seems like a man.

Timmy seems like a young woman, like a young Tilda Swinton.

Does Timmy really have an eating disorder?

Why in the hell IS he so skinny? It does seem unnatural for a 26 year old male.

Has anyone in the press asked him about it? Discreetly, of course.

"Hey Timothee, what's your diet secret?"

r101 And then suffer a thousand fangirls screeching "BODYSHAMING" at you?

Plus, drugs. Funny how I keep referring back to it, but watch the red carpet for TFD at Cannes. He's high as fuck.

Manorexia

Chalamet is of average height but he has the tiniest, slimmest frame. His sister and father have the same build. And he looked the same in teen photos. So being slim seems to be his default.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if he eats very little. And yeah, it's Hollywood, getting high isn't exactly a surprise. Weed goes without saying and he does sometimes seem high in public. I've seen comments that he's being so cute. In my day, we would say he's on something. Not sure about harder drugs though. He seems pretty focused and very ambitious so that may keep him away from the hard stuff.

R104: One website said or he said that he was 6'0. There's no way he's six feet.

R96 R97 I think they are a real deal. Apparently he visited her on the set of Euphoria all the time, and they spent their time together, alone, away from the rest of the cast He doesn't seem gay to me, just a skinny, kinda nerdy, guy.

[quote] Apparently he visited her on the set of Euphoria all the time, and they spent their time together, alone, away from the rest of the cast He doesn't seem gay to me, just a skinny, kinda nerdy, guy.

Zendaya is a lesbian.

Chalamet is usually listed as 5'10. Unlike many actors, it looks pretty legit. Again, average height for an American male.

R107 okay, if you, an anonymous poster on Datalounge say so, it must be true then.

Not androgynous:

Cheap whore.

Austin's embarrassingly desperate for that Oscar:

[quote]"During Elvis, I didn't see my family for about three years," Austin Butler tells Janelle Monáe. "I had months where I wouldn't talk to anybody, and when I did, the only thing I was ever thinking about was Elvis."

[quote]"Austin then added that when he did eventually speak with his family again, he couldn’t shake off Elvis’s southern drawl. “I was speaking in his voice the whole time,” he said."

Yeah, we noticed

That's the point, r112: we---you---noticed.

I guess you missed Brendan's "I was molested as an adult, so I'm boycotting the Golden Globes, but I'll cry like a baby at 'The Whale' premiere applause." Nothing thirsty about HIM.

Oh, and then there's Colin "I know you're the SNL host, Brendan G., but I'm crashing your monologue and skits!" Farrell. Nothing thirsty about HIM.

So get real. Actors gonna thirst. All of them.

P.S. r112, The movie was filming in Australia when Covid-19 struck Tom Hanks, without whom the production could not proceed. Two already-hired actors, Rufus Sewell and Maggie Gyllenhaal, quit as Elvis's parents and left Australia. Austin stayed.

So yes, in the early days of the pandemic, Austin did not see his family at least until the delayed "Elvis" wrapped up.

I'd like to see any other actor refrain from mentioning such a unique event.

Now I understand why Timmy is so skinny.

His father is "Bones and All," and he's old.

Timmy is just naturally thin. It's hereditary.

Lucky bitch.

R115: For such a nice looking man, he sure produced one rodent looking son.

[quote]Not androgynous:

Are you kidding, R110? I thought that was Ellen.

Sure, Jan, r110.

Meant you, r117, of course. Now you'll say anything.

Brief BTS as Willie Wonka. There are more photos "out there."

LOL, now r113/114 is what an Austin fangirl actually looks like

Not denying it, r121!

Timothée is not my usual type but he is mesmerisingly good-looking.

R111 he's unattractive, has stick like figure, but lets see if he has a nice teeth- oh never mind. R123 = Helen keller

Timmy is a year older than Zendaya, but she looks old compared to him.

He still looks like a twink!

Is there a more beautiful young actor than Timothee?

I don't think so.

R126 if having a skinny future and looking like a rodent deems attractive nowadays then by all means.

Skinny figure*
