      Nailed it

      Check it out @neph93 @JDelage some really choice lines in this one and, superlative title aside, I feel the reviewer captured mostly how I feel about the Lynch Dune.

      Think it, be it.

        Jupp… I’m down with that. And quite funny how his access to the movie mirrors my own. From being wow’ed and confused as a child then experiencing it zonkwd out as a teen. I’ve watched it many times since then and there is so much amazing in it that the silliness barely gets a look in. The grotesque barbarism of the Harkonnens is a case in point.

        The new version is a much more subdued affair. Very clean and stylish, very polished and beautiful. More dreamy and romantic, in an Arabian Nights sort of way. Although Baron H is still quite foul of course. Disturbing in a less obvious fashion.

          Lovely article, thank you. I agree with much, but this is the money quote: "The score by Toto—synths and strings and horns and guitars cranked to 11—is why God gave us ears." The soundtrack is indeed mind meltingly awesome.

          Have I mentioned that Lynch's Paul & Jessica look much better than the actors in Villeneuve's rendition (can't comment yet on the acting). In particular, Jessica is glorious, at least until she shaves (her head!)

          I have watched Lynch's piece so many times that I know some passages by heart, starting with Irulan's entire opening scene: "A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that this is the year 10194. The known universe is ruled by the Paddisha Emperor Shaddam the IVth, my father…."

          Yes, I'm a geek - or at least I was one when Lynch's movie came out. By then (I was 13) I had read the book at least a half dozen times. I've re-read the entire series every few years since then. I still love it the way I love LOTR and not many other things.

            Watched this the other night and it was a good fun enjoyable movie.

            Based on a true story.

                  Haven't sat down and watched a movie in quite some time.  Watched the Last Duel a few nights ago.  Very good medieval flick.

                      This was a good one.

                          I loved the heck out of Ghostbusters Afterlife. It was really fun and kind of moving at the end. Cool visual effects too. I don't want to spoil anything but I loved the props and the ending.

                                "Top Gun: Maverick" is excellent.

                                  It’s beyond excellent. 10 times better than the original in every conceivable way. I’m flabbergasted at how good it is, and I had high expectations going in. Wow.

                                    I watched RRR on Netflix this evening. It's completely bonkers in a good way.
