Yeah–I like David Lynch's film too @neph93 as its own thing. I would love to see someone bring to film something that I think of as the Dune I read if that makes sense.
I have only read Dune, none of the sequels. I probably should. But Dune does great at being a self-contained story, so as much as I love the world Herbert built, have not gotten around to the sequels.

I finished the Ken Burn’s documentary on Ali last night and it was truly hard to watch. Ali was omnipresent in my childhood and I have vivid memories of him. Wondering if he was as iconic to those living outside the US? The documentary does a great job of exploring all of the parts, good and bad, that created his mythical persona. And because you know ahead of time the physical toll all the fights took on him, the tragedy of his later years is like a dark shadow around the corner. Tore me up to be honest.

First ep was fantastic. Full fucking beast
-
@Jett129 I watched it a bit more than a week ago, I thought it was fantastic
-
Do you want lessons? Just kidding! @Joberwocky
-
Speaking of lessons @Jett129 the instructor I had long ago also was “teaching” Keith Carlock at the time. “Teaching” is in quotes because the student had surpassed the teacher long ago and everyone knew it. You never know how someone’s career will turn out but he wound up, among other things, Steely Dan’s touring drummer. Not a group known for slouching on talent, particularly drummers, with names like Purdie, Gadd, Porcaro, Blaine, Humphrey, etc
I went in the opposite direction

Finished S3e02 of Succession last night, still sooo good
-
I keep meaning to watch it but also keep forgetting
-
SUCCESSION S03 is now all politics, power moves and political power moves and so far I think it's absolutely FANTASTIC but then I'm all about those politics, power moves, and political power moves…
You wanna see some good ole acting?.. Some fine character building?.. Watch DOPESICK... The writing is on the nose but the story (in short: how Perdue got the US of A addicted to Oxycontin) is compelling... Maybe watch the doc THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY first...
TASKMASTER S12 is hugely exciting... Three candidates are neck-a-neck... I'm fucking rooting for Guz cause he's an unstoppable positive force...
TIGER KING S02: well we have to mention this... I'm halfway through the first ep and have a feeling they just gathered some b-side gossip and turned it into five eps...
GUILT: pretty nice UK show about two brothers whose lives get turned around after a deadly hit and run... It's named GUILT 2019 on torrent sites if you were to look for it on, say, rarbgmirror.com... Both brothers have thick, Northerns accents so if you need subs: https://www.addic7ed.com/show/7629
DARK SIDE OF THE RING S03 has finished and no one has probably watched it but I'll keep mentioning it...
NIGHT STALKER: HUNT OF A SERIAL KILLER was well made... If you need some time to... kill.
NARCOS S03: now I've read in numerous reviews that it felt like including all these new character and their storylines was needed cause there wasn't much else left to talk about for this particular timeline in Mexico... I might partially agree, but I absolutely loved the new faces... Victor and Andrea both acted the fuck out of their roles and although I have a man crush on Scoot, hearing her do the voice-over was a welcoming change...

I watched "Night Stalker" and it was pretty good, if not a bit overlong

Damn, Wrangler knows exactly what they are doing here. Great move by them.
