Rewatched the two Blade Runners back to back.
Also caught this online which I hadn't seem before, fleshes out Bautistas character heaps more and proves he is by far the best wrestler turned actor ever.
Cool little scene.
Hes such a great actor, and agree his Character despite such short on screen time was brilliant.
Those extra shorts helped flesh it outi only discovered BR2049 a couple years ago, such a master piece and a shame it did so badly at the Box Office
On a side note how amazing is Denis Villeneuve recent run of movies...Sicario
Arrival
Blade Runner 2049
Dune Pt 1
Dune Pt 2 -

Dune Pt 2Haven’t seen the first two but he definitely gave two of the 80s most inconsistently reviewed sci fi flicks a new lease of life.
The original Blade Runner and Dune seem to be equally loved and hated overall, I personally loved them, real thinking man’s sci fi ( definitely helps reading up on the lore online though )

Check out Sicario, its fucking good.
Hes being filming Dune Pt 3 and at some point he will be taking on the next James Bond.
I'll have a gander.
I do love his work. The style he created with BR and Dune was absolutely outstanding. I reckon the late authors of both franchises would have approved.
Not sure he's suitable for Bond though ? time will tell.
Back to Blade Runner there is so much depth to both films, Rutger Hauers speech at the end should have won him an Oscar. Roy Batty saving Deckard and showing empathy and humanity was a final "fuck you" to his creators.
Magic scene.
In a particularly poignant touch he passed away in real life the same year his character did ( 2019 )

Dune Pt 2Agree. Sicario is such a good movie. Violent, raw and Benicio Del Toro is perfect for his role. And the ending...
I have been meaning to watch Prisoners at some stage. Another Villeneuve movie.

Watched the new Frankenstein on Netflix.
While on the longer side at 2.5 hours (what isnt these days) it seemed a different take on the tale, that I largely enjoyed, giving you the story from both Victors and the 'Monster's' side.
3.5 wolves out of 5 fuck that looks cold
Assume the immortality, fast healing and super strength are not part of the original Frankenstein -

Such a menacing feeling throughout Sicario, you dont realise at the time you aren't watching the movie you think it is.
Cant say too much without giving it away.
The part where they go across the border is pure tension filled and brillianthave heard Prisoners is very very good as well, must get round to watching it too.

I love Sicario. I'd watch that probably twice a year. The pacing, cinematography and soundtrack just give a constant atmosphere of threat.
Prisoners is another very good movie. Jackman's portrayal of the father is superb.

Agree, Roger Deakins who was the Cinematographer for Sicario is considered the GOAT and you can see why.
Also again without giving too much away what helped was stripping away 90% of Benicio De Toro's original lines. Made his character much better which of course lead to how the story ended as it did. -

Assume the immortality, fast healing and super strength are not part of the original FrankensteinI enjoyed it and think it's a good way to spend the time but I couldn't work out what genre it was fulfilling. Perhaps it was good enough to not be pigeonholed.
I certainly wouldn't have guessed the ending.
