Being a movie and not a book they left a bunch of stuff out. The film is basically the story as it relates to the Bene Gesserit.
I'd love more Mentats and Guild but it would have been 30 hours long had they tried to include everything.
Think Chani's character is way better in the film than...
Quirk also said in his media conference that their recommended location was over the current golf club car park and buildings. Also, there would be green space offsets at the Gabba site.
Schrinner is the other critical factor. Does he play ball or go political scorched earth?
At least we are likely to know the answer on this pretty quickly.
Love how the Courier Mail came out massively backing plans to build a stadium in Victoria Park, but as soon as that is announced as the option they have second thoughts.
It doesn't have to be cost-neutral if we get the right legacy outcomes.
If it blew out by a billion dollars and we got an amazing outdoor stadium and an amazing indoor arena and we saved ourselves a billion in Gabba upkeep and we hosted an Olympic Games we still get a fantastic deal.
I thought he would for sure do that with this movie, but I felt he kept very much to the pacing of the book. The epic battel sequence at the end would have gone on forever in most films but was over in the blink of an eye.
He is such a fanboi, I'm just not sure he is going to make fundamental...
I've been talking up DV for years and agree he can do anything, but he also sticks very closely to the source material and Messiah is just not an epic sci-fi action-adventure, it’s a lot of people sitting around talking.
He is going to have his work cut out for him.
...It is interesting, it certainly has generated a significant amount more positive feedback across the board than anything else suggested.
It's a much more dynamic proposal putting the venues in the same location. I hate marketing cliches but it is genuinely bold, and I think it makes the...
Yeah but there would have to be a massive asterisk next to it saying that the cost did not include transport infrastructure.
The "underground inner-city bypass" thing alone would be a doozy, but there would be plenty more where that came from.
If someone had a unicorn stadium idea that somehow solved all the problems and was cheaper, they would jump on it regardless of the terms of reference.
But I'm not holding out much hope of that happening.
Yeah, I just like to take any opportunity I can to point out how god-awful the club's (lack of) communications strategy is.
I reckon combined with Neale's statements this is the club's soft backing of the proposal. Seriously doubt they would say anything official.
Yeah but from what I saw their disagreement was with the Victoria Park part of the proposal.
Who knows, we get three seconds of the press conferences, they could have said all sorts of things.
I should have said all but categorically ruled it out. They were classic political answers.
I'd be pretty surprised if one day Miles said "I’ve heard from Queenslanders – particularly in regional Queensland" and the next day said, "Nah stuff the rednecks, let's spend up big on the games".
That...
But both the Primer and Lord Mayor categorically ruled it out just the other day.
I'd love to see a forward-looking, big-picture solution, but I just can't see it happening without some mega-unified campaign by both sides and big chunks of the media.
Annastacia Palaszczuk never wanted to get bogged down in nitty-gritty technical arguments and always kept things as simple as possible.
This strategy worked brilliantly at first, taking down Campbell Newman who came across as very aggressive, macho and argumentative. But became a huge weakness...
I've been saying it for the past few years, the guy makes flawless films.
I knew Star Wars was in trouble when they announced JJ Abrams as the director of the first film, just as much as I knew Dune would be amazing when they announced DV as the director.
