TV/Movies Megathread

I remember the snackable episodes as the future thing.
There was this big money would-be netflix of phones that splashed lots of cash on developing content for this format only to fail massively. I can't even remember its name.

Edit- quibi. Even the name...ouch.

Isn't that just basically instagram or tik tok?

Yeah, Quibi was supposed to be the next big thing. Until it wasn't.

Looked them up. raised $1.75 billion from suckers, I mean investors. Lasted 3/4 of a year.

Dune 2 now the highest rated movie of all time on imdb.

This is getting out of hand. 

Indeed, some screenings of the first part are organised before Dune 2 premieres.

Can't say I've read the book but if the real William Adams story is in there I think he went back and forth a few times.

IIRC, the book begins as he is in the sea, during a storm, just like the mini-series with Richard Chamberlain.
There are no flashbacks to his time in England.

Still scared it'll be worse than that one. Loved when I saw it decades ago

True Detective: Night Country (AKA The Peaks AKA Twin Thing). It was OK but the ending was a bit meh I think.
