I'll look for it. :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Just saw the last episode.  "ooh spooky!  There's ghosts.  Nay, maybe not.  Fuck you".  Man, figure out what you want to do.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

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. ;)

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
