TV/Movies Megathread

A decently historical Spanish show is Isabel, if you're interested.

I'll look for it.

True Detective. Had such high expectations for this season too.

Until the next one

Just saw the last episode.  "ooh spooky!  There's ghosts.  Nay, maybe not.  Fuck you".  Man, figure out what you want to do.

We're witnessing greatness. Possibly the greatest sequel ever made.  Godfather Part Two level movie here.

Rotten Tomatoes argues itself that there are other sequels that have scored higher. Like Paddington 2.

Paddington 2 is fantastic

It's confirmed then. Dune Part Two is S-tier alongside Godfather Part Two. Truly elite, masterclass film we are ALL about to witness

I specifically held back on watching Dune 1.  It annoyed me they split it in two with no firms plan for a sequel.

Then once they announced the sequel I held back until it was out.

I think it's time I watch the first one now.

[Admiral Yi]

Just finished up The Sopranos.  Still the greatest TV ever.

I was wondering where else I had seen this chick then it finally came to me: the horny mom at the swimming pool from Stranger Things.

Word is they've already greenlit Dune Messiah too.

Imagine if Dune Messiah makes a gazillion and they greenlight all the increasingly nutty books that follow

Pretty sure they'd be best to stop after Dune Messiah...

I liked Children of Dune but most everything after that is best forgotten.

I mean it was fine as a book - but when talking about movies you've now (mostly) lost your lead character and you're on to the kids story.  Plus it gets weird when Leto merges with a sandworm.
