TV/Movies Megathread

The King and Outlaw king.

I like these historical movies. Seems well made and feels realistic-ish,  even though the stories have been simplified to absurdity sometimes.

The King fel like the revisionist real story of Henry V if the only source for him and his time was Shakespeare.

I enjoyed the Outlaw King up until the ending - the final battle annoyed me.

[spoiler] King Edward fights man-on-man? Bruce just lets him walk? None of that made any sense! I did not care that they compressed the time line, but why end it on such a dumb note. [/spoiler]

It was based on Shakespeare's play.

The King was similar in that regard, [spoiler]Henry riding alone into the french camp on the eve of Agincourt, the dauphin killed instead of captured, the battle pausing when he pranced around and so on. Also GoT inspired murder of the chief justice by the king himself.[/spoiler]. Historically Outlaw king was more realistic (like Maximilian also), seeing as the King is based on the Henriad. But still good movies and I accept these shortcuts in the storytelling.

Do we really need a third version of Dune?

Do we really need a third version of Dune?

When it's Villeneuve yes.

A third version? No.

This third version? Yes. Yes we do. We all do. You just don't know it yet.

I'll admit that I was rather doubtful about this project when it was first announced, but it really does now look like Villeneuve wasn't trying to make a movie from the book, but rather make THE movie from the book.  If it is even half as good as it looks, it will be outstanding.

We can use somebody who can do science fiction right.  The Star Wars/Star Trek taint is strong and something needs to wash that away.

Well said.
