They've said they're putting it on hold bc Tim and the director are busy, but given Armie's status I'm guessing it will remain in development hell for the indefinite future.

Have tried to watch Dune twice now in the past few days. Not even Timothee's prettiness could save what appears to be a total bore fest. Gave up 30 minutes in...
said no one.

I stopped halfway through, I might finish once the second part is released. Too much setup not enough happening. I get the need to world-build but it wasn't enough to hold my interest especially know it wasn't the finished story.
I've read all the Dune books of Frank Herbert; they are long, slow reading, and intricate, but hooked me.
The first 'Dune' movie and its music [I doubt] will be surpassed. I did not care for the splitting of the present remake. [I've gotten tired of the long list of series that networks don't bother to finish. They really don't care enough even to make one finishing episode for resolution.]

The real tragedy of Beautiful Boy was that it was based more on the father’s memoir than the son’s memoir, Tweaked. It was much more gritty from the son point of view including him having sex with men to get drug money and other grueling and brutal experiences that Timmy would have so excellently interpreted.
The real tragedy is that film was virtually ignored by a lot of the awards shows, when I really think its some of his best work. Should have had his second Oscar nomination for that role.

Basketball Diary did that very well with DiCaprio
I agree with this heavily, especially because of the casting. Carrell was not equipped to carry the film, so focusing on the father's perspective really set it back. He doesn't give a strong performance (imo) and the movie really drags in those sections. Then feels completely disjointed whenever it shifted to Nick. I wish Tim had gotten to really live in that character and portray a more complete story.

The father may have been the professional writer, but the son’s book was better in its raw, brutal essence, which is what a story on that subject matter needs.
So basically had they used the sons memoir, Timmy would have gotten good second nomination and probably the award? I saw the movie, and I was expecting more. If you're going to do a study like that then do it!
We'll see what happens. If he's just has a sexual fantasy that's outside the norm, fine. There's no telling what his peers get up to behind closed doors NDA's The alleged rape however is another issue.
I start seeing the potential in his looks in this, especially the second photo.
Agreed. The allegations of rape and violence are the serious stuff here, and if he's guilty, I hope he gets jail time. But everything else like that cannibalism fetish which was hyped in the media is either a lie or just some weird fantasy kink he has. People do all kind of role plays, maybe it was something like that. I remember media portraying him as a rich powerful man when the allegations surfaced, now it turns out that he wasn’t that rich. I mean the guy had to take a regular job to support his family which again he had to quit because media invaded his privacy.

Armie Hammer's career as an actor is functionally over at this point.

Quite possibly. Allegedly Downey Jr. is helping him and we know how his situation turned out. If the rape is true though, it should be well and over.

RDJ's situation was not remotely comparable.
The sequel novel was literally the worst thing I’ve ever read. Unless you are interested in elio’s dad’s grotesque sex life, I’d say it’s a mercy they don’t make another movie.
