I finished the book last month and then finally watched the Lynch version. I plan on watching the miniseries from 2000 as a refresher in the days leading up to the new release.

I tried reading the book but just couldn't get through it. So much detail and nuance, couldn't keep everything straight. Probably should have read it when I was younger and my mind was more of a sponge. And when I could read 1-2 hours a day. Reading Dune in small bits over an extended period of time? Difficult.

It definitely takes a little bit to find its groove given all of the wacky names, religions, etc. You almost need a flow chart to avoid getting bogged down in the details. I had to actively avoid trying to keep everything straight in real-time and instead just focus on going with the flow. Once you do that, it's a real page-turner. By the end, you definitely understand why it's so revered and influential.

While reading it, I couldn't help but think how difficult it would be to adapt into a single feature length film. Lynch's version confirmed that. If you hadn't read the book, you'd be mostly lost because of how rushed it felt. It's probably much better suited for a miniseries, but if anyone can pull it off as a movie it's Denis Villeneuve.

The studio butchered Lynch’s version too. But it is very not good.

Never Surrender - 6/10

Galaxy Quest - 8/10

Never Surrender is a documentary on the making of and the apparent worship of Galaxy Quest. Like, it’s a good movie and I like it - but it’s cult status is WAY overblown here. The making of stuff was interesting though.

Galaxy Quest - It’s a really good movie, but I honestly don’t feel they did enough. I know it was supposed to be a hard R movie, but the issue is more with how lacking the story is and not necessarily the jokes that needed fuck words.

Watched Braveheart for the first time last night. Overrated, imo.

yeah Wiki says the daughter gave him the book for father's day or something like that and he optioned the rights.

Fear Street 1978 - 7/10

Liked this one a good bit. Red head Stranger Things girl was a standout, overall hit on the whole summer camp thing perfectly. Liked most of the characters.

[Tiduwho]

Fear Street 1666 - 7.5/10

Ok, so goofy stringy blonde haired bf from 1978, turned in an awesome 1600s British accent performance of a madman. Did not see that coming from the same goofball actor in 1978 at all. He was awesome. Biggest standout there. Liked the storyline and how it came together a la Salem Witch Trials bs.


Fear Street 1994 part II - 8/10

What a great finish. Sheriff Aaron Rodgers I was hoping for more from, he was better in 1666. The other characters were good. I do have to ask the question if Red head girl from 1978 was supposed to be a different casting or something bc 1994 her lol. Were they trying to get Millie Bobbie Brown and ended up with redhead girl instead? Oh well

[Roose13]

Fatherhood on Netflix. Fantastic!

[wvufan2010]

I just finished watching Old at the theater with a friend. I know good and well that people are going to shit all over it, but I had an absolute blast watching it. The end is going to probably piss a lot of people off but I thought it was fine.

I loved it, and I don’t care what that says about me as a person haha.

Saving Private Ryan turned 23 over the weekend. That's not otherwise noteworthy, but I saw a tweet pointing out how it's now the same age Jaws was in 1998.

Feels like we'll all be dust in the span of a week.

That grainy camera work was kind of a thing when that movie was made. Odd artistic choice for sure.

You better avoid anything from the 1920s then.

I love seeing restored and colorized film from the early 1900s that normalizes everything:

Woodstock '99 - 3.5/5
Honestly surprised more people didn't die. Those crowd shots were insane.

I forgot that people actually liked Limp Bizkit

Last night I watched the latest Saw movie. I think it could have been good if they eliminated all the things that make it Saw movie and just made it a murder thriller.

[Benny003]

I'm going to The Green Knight on Friday. Reviews look really good. I'm trying not to have any expectations.

I’m going Saturday. I only saw the trailer and haven’t read reviews.
