Similar to @mariner4life I read Dune in my early teens.
Got a bit lost.
Read it again a year or so back.
Got a bit lost.
Seem to recall it was worth a read though.
Think it was written in the 60s and is more about plots and scheming and politics and fantasy rather than what I think of as Sci-fi (i.e., lasers and aliens that rip out your guts).
Tried watching the 1980s movie recentlyish too and got extremely lost.
This looks like fun though.
Yeah, started reading it the other night, I can see what you mean, a bit hard going...never a good thing when sentences have more than one or two made up words...and that was the first page...have been reassured by some mate who have read it before it’s worth it so will preserve
I watched the 1984 version again. If 2020s version can iron out a few kinks it may well be a absolute classic. Fingers crossed.

Made some real progress this avo, thanks lockdown
Saw a cool clip on YouTube, someone already done a shot for shot comparison between the 80s version and the trailer

Well all I can say is this is a welcome relief from yet another Steven Seagal post

Been watching parts of each Godfather movie which have been on sky recently but haven't managed to watch a full movie of any of them. Was watching the end of GFIII and we had a power cut with 20 mins remaining? What happens at the end?
Is GFIII the worst of the lot? Seemed rather dull?

First two are great, last one sucks. Pretend it doesn't exist.

That makes sense. What does happen at the end of the 3rd one though? Does Al Pacino get smoked? What about Andy Garcia?

I think Al dies/retires and Garcia becomes the Godfather, I honestly can't remember

That was the last thing I saw. Andy became GF and Al went to a theatre and some dude was going to shoot him but got distracted and then power cut!

Al lives, daughter dies, he dies an old man and falls of the chair in Italy. Sigh.

He snorts way too much cocaine, shoots his best mate for nailing his sister, shoots his sister then dies in a big shootout.
Oh sorry, wrong movie.

Paul Rudd is now the same age as Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.
Get absolutely fucked.
That's what I thought. Actually checked it was true.

yeah, I can't fix it - whenever I hit the male face palm emoji it looks fine on my phone but then reverts to the chick doing it with the arrow next to her, after I hit submit.
Think it's the mods fucking with me

God, Lost Boys never gets old. I must watch this film at least once a year. Had a good watch of it tonight with a bit of Chinese. Vampirism would be one way to beat the old covid19 ay.
It's always going to be 5 well oiled saxophonists out of 5 mulletted leather clad 80s actors for me
