yeah it was pretty but I was whelmed.  it was kinda expected that they'd cut it where they did, and that leaves you with a part 1 that only has an incredibly weak version of the classic narrative arc.  i think the one with the space pug has to take the crown

i have mixed feelings about dune overall, but i respect that its a genre classic

Part 2 was greenlit, maybe I'll wait til it's done to watch.  I love Dune, and I'm geeked about this.

I'm actually surprised they're spending the money on it. It didn't exactly heat up the box office. Decent opening, then fell.

I've heard that it really needs the big screen. That being said, I'll probably watch it on HBO Max before I'm ready to go into a theater again.

You know what? I was whelmed.

Lynch's version may be flawed but at least he inserted strangeness and melodrama into his space opera. Now everything was muted and pouty and dull. Even the Harkonnens weren't very memorable. Momoa and Brolin played themselves. The sandworms were better 1984.

The design was pretty special, so that was nice. And Rampling was surprisingly good.

Meh. I'll watch it again, I'm sure, but it wasn't the experience I'd hoped for.

I just saw that!

The Cox piece is fantastic!  So is the video for "Tiny Foldable Cities"

Yeah, we're fans of the Cox piece. I wish he were coming this way on his American tour.  Alas, maybe he'll extend his tour and come south.

That's become my backdrop music lately.  Good music to code to.

And this is what I'm coding to now:

Or this one (takes "You're So Vain" to a new level, and he deserves it just for being him.):
