By Willkiller Go To PostDune 2 was phenomenal
Messiah, NOW
Making my way through the oscar best picture nominees. Just finished Anatomy of a fall. Was okay. Thought Sandra Huller's performance was the bright spot.
Enjoyed Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret quite a bit. Has nothing on Eighth Grade tho lmao
Tried to watch Past Lives on Netflix last night, it's fine/alright so far

Dune 2 was very good. I was more in awe of the first film since everything was new and the world building, but I agree this one was better. Unreal experience in 70mm IMAX and they were handing out free film strips at the end.
Didn't see Dune 2: Dune Harder in IMAX unfortunately but Dolby Atmos was in my screening today and brehs that shit is otherworldly lol
Very good film, would deffo be up for a third film. Having not read the books, I assume Paul will go insane and Chani tries to stop him in the next film?

Just a shame no one is brave enough to do Children and God Emperor

dune: part two, lads. i think it's better than the first one, and it is a phenomenal audiovisual work, but it's not the masterpiece i was hoping it'd be.
chalamet's muted performance throughout most of the film also brings it down a little. in that sense, it felt a bit similar to kingdom of heaven which is also a great film, but is clearly being held back by the lead actor. the most recent example of a great performance without saying too much is gladstone in killers of the flower moon. two totally different characters and films, obviously, but i think chalamet could've done way more with what he was given before he drank the juice.
also, i love walken, but he didn't seem the right fit for the emperor.
4 outta 5 stars.

Loved seeing those creepy jester-looking mf'ers in the gladiator scene. Reminds me of the Spider-Man from the first one.

By Laboured Go To Posthow i wish
By Xpike Go To PostKojima been in there, imagineKojima fans everybody
By Willkiller Go To PostMan, I thought Chalamet was great.
I thought he was great in the second half. He’s one of the weakest things about the first one in terms of how dialled down he plays it, when his natural strengths as an actor lean on his charisma. When he turns it up here, he’s class.

Yeah, I liked his performance in the 1st but it did give me concerns that he wouldn't quite be able to sell some of Paul's more internally complex parts of the rest of the story. Paul has so much screen time the movie really lives or dies by his performance but I thought he nailed it.
Butler was great too, but one slight criticism I would have of the movie was turning Feyd into a complete psycho with little nuance. He's a little more calculating in the books than that, it felt maybe 5-10% too cartoonishly evil, but that was more direction I guess. A very small criticism though, it works for the movie itself.
By s y Go To PostHe sounded like Elvis to you?I swear the first few times he spoke it was the Elvis voice from the film.

Skarsgard goes the other way to great effect. Baron is so cartoonish in the book. He’s proper grossly malevolent here in his quietness.
By Laboured Go To Postreilo no it's a trap
On a serious note I'll be seeing the sequel to Dune Part 1 on Thursday.
Me with the buckets
By Laboured Go To PostThis is not what Denis would want at all.
By reilo Go To PostWhat's in the bucket indeed.

My life as a Trail Blazers fan has been leading to this
Some fillums I have watched recently...
Dream Scenario. Nicolas Cage cumming in his pants (and immediately farting) and Gregg from Succession? Still managed to be extremely mid. Gregg was even the worst part of the film, totally shit the bed with the ending.
Poor Things. Extremely entertaining, really very creepy and completely gorgeous. The last twenty minutes was also a bit shit, unfortunately. Running theme in films I've watched recently. Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo were great. Willem Dafoe's randomly intermittent Scottish accent not so much.
Wonka. I'm not really one for musicals and this did not change anything. I like Tom Davies and he was quite funny in this so it wasn't a total waste of time. He is the oaf's oaf. The film had a real lack of energy for a musical though. It just felt flat all the way through.
Catch Me if You Can. I really quite enjoyed it. What kind of fucking accent was Tom Hanks going with though? Just so I can avoid that part of the world forever, thanks. I refuse to believe this isn't extremely different to whatever happened irl that this was based on though.
The Bone Collector. Think I have a new "worst Denzel Washington film" to replace The Equalizer. WOOF.

I refuse to believe this isn't extremely different to whatever happened irl that this was based on though.the story is completelt fabricated. The greatest con that Abegnale ever pulled was getting this film made and convincing everyone he was some master con artist when all evidence points to him being some loser who never really pulled anything off
