nwoodman Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Highly recommend “Boy Swallows Universe’ - Netflix Quirky, dark and uniquely Australian. The 80’s soundtrack was worth it alone. Brought back some great musical memories. Will be watching this one again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saluki Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Started watching Vice Principals on Max. If you like Eastbound and Down, and Righteous Gemstones, it's got a lot of the same cast and type of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incoherent plot that went nowhere and had no internal logic. Terribly written characters, pointless callbacks to the (much better) first season...I could go on and on. I'm amazed that reviews have been mostly positive. It's just not for me I suppose. I agree. I liked season's 1 & 3. 2 was ok, and 4 was the worst of the lot by a long way.

Parsad Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I saw Dune 2 today...amazing! Will go down as this generation's Star Wars trilogy or the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. Superb special effects! Villeneuve should have been given the reins to the last three Star War's movies. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was nearly 3 hours long, but went by too fast. Dune 3 will be coming following the arc of Dune Messiah...so enjoy the ride! All the actors were wonderful in Dune 2...Javier Bardem, Austin Butler steal most of their scenes! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Saw Dune last night. Fantastic. Geidi Prime was awesome. That scene was right from the book. David Lynch never bothered adapting it in his 1984 adaptation. Understandable. But Villneuve had more real estate to play with, time wise. What were missing were 1)Count Fenring. Though we got to see his beautiful sorcerer wife. My understanding is that an actor was chosen to play Count Fenring. Therefore there could be actual footage that were filmed but later cut. I am ok with that for the theatrical version as long as there is an Extended Edition ? 2) The Mentat was nowwhere to be seen. Again I understand that subplot not adding much, but don’t know if it was not filmed, or filmed but cut out. I need that back in !! If you please. 3) Guild Navigators. In the book, you really get to see who has the power and it is not House Corrino. It is the Guild. They are nowhere to be seen in this movie. How dull !! The movie rightly closes off with the coming war between the Great Houses and the usurper, which would bridge to Dune Messiah. It is important to know that military conflict was never depicted in the books and that Dune Messiah was more of a palace intrigue story. I would expect that Villeneuve would adapt that military conflict in his third movie, otherwise Dune Messiah would be dull third act. Xerxes has spoken.

Parsad Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Watched LA Confidential tonight. Still holds up marvelously after over 25 years! Watching a fierce, young Russell Crowe at the beginning of his career battle it out with Guy Pearce was fun! Kevin Spacey and James Cromwell were terrific as well. Cheers!

Parsad Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The old "Road House" is a classic especially for fans of Patrick Swayze, but I watched the new one tonight on Amazon Prime...and it's pretty damn good! Unfortunately, the rest of the movie doesn't live up to the first 20-30 minutes which is awesome, but its does a good job of reinventing Dalton. Cheers!

formthirteen Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Just watched Kingdom Of Heaven: Director’s Cut. Loved it. Quote The studio felt Kingdom Of Heaven was too long and complicated for general audiences, and asked Scott to trim around 45 minutes from it. While the movie still functioned as a historical action movie, cutting out key subplots and character beats ended up making the story feel hollow. … Thankfully, the studio allowed Scott to assemble a Kingdom Of Heaven: Director’s Cut, which restored the missing 45 minutes. The difference in quality between the two versions proved shocking to critics and fans. https://screenrant.com/kingdom-heaven-directors-cut-changes-better/ Next up, Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut.

Not that the theatrical version was any less. Oliver Stone’ Director Cut of Alexandre is also interesting from a movie making point of view. Not a great movie. But it is interesting to contrast it with the theatrical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I was never able to watch Blade Runner completely. The Alien franchise has also interesting Director’ Cut and Extended Editions. I recall Alien3’ extended edition made the movie far more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Shetland Season 8 is outstanding, incredible police show. Not that previous seasons are any less outstanding. Amazing plots every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
