Re: Dune

Well, it's funny, because while I don't think this particular aspect of Paul's decision making is supposed to necessarily be one of the 'red flags' (though I'm not saying it's wrong for you to feel that way, it's just not one of the points I think the author intended to be an overly glaring issue), ...

Re: Dune

Ladies, beware a guy who says he loves you and then proposes to another woman thirty seconds later. The abrupt timing does make it feel particularly offputting to us, even in the book where you get the deeper explanation, but I think it's just because we can't help that way of thinking being so for...

Re: Dune

Pseudo explained it well so just to reiterate: The Duke is supposed to marry for political reasons. In Leto's case such reasons never end up coming about, so toward the end of his life one of his biggest regrets is not deciding to go ahead and marry Jessica, since she is who he truly loves, even tho...

Re: Dune

Oh my goodness, it is so good! After the first movie I left the theater just completely overcome with appreciation and enjoyment of what I had just experienced. It was somehow even more so this time! And that was with having extremely high expectations of how I would feel about it! Part Three cannot...

Re: Dune

I'm seeing Part Two tomorrow! Finally! :mad:

It was originally supposed to be released last November, I was so disappointed when the strike made them delay it.

Re: Would it be possible?

Greyscale is not currently an option anymore, is it? :-k
I thought since the site update there is only one theme since a lot of the fundamental functionality here was changed.

Re: Wicked

I was so excited back when I heard they were finally making a movie version of Wicked, but what I've seen from it so far has me fairly underwhelmed and already bordering on disappointed. Granted what I've seen so far is hardly anything, so it's certainly just an immediate gut reaction and could abso...

Re: Lunar New Year

I keep buying boxes of naval oranges advertising the year of the dragon (not sure what the connection is there) Not connected to this year specifically, but oranges and tangerines are a big part of Chinese New Year festivities in general. There's a neat fireworks eater egg if you Google 'Lunar New ...

Re: Godzilla Minus One

I've heard nothing but high praise for this movie, and it's coming from beyond just established Godzilla fans. Apparently it's really very good!

I haven't watched any of the Toho movies, just the modern U.S. ones, but I may have to check this one out some day.

Re: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

I was incredibly surprised to see this trailer drop, I had no clue they ended up making another movie I thought the last one didn't do well enough for that.
