Dune tickets booked for Sunday
I might go again too……
Really interesting comparing it to this. Give it a hoon if you have time.
There’s aspects of the 1980s version that did it better ( certainly not the SFX ! )
Virginia Madsen was HOOOOOOTTTTTTTT

@voodoo Those are Sennheiser RS 175 RF.
Never tried headphones with the TV. Bluetooth?
Keys in the name RF, rather then Bluetooth. Bluetooth does not have a good enough bandwidth for decent audio without clever compression algorithms. So you plug your analog or digital audio out into the box, it transmits it to the headset.

can they pair to more than one headset? There's often two of us wanting to watch films when kids are in bed - if the audio is great, coudl well be tempted as long as we can do more than one headset

I'm picturing you guys sitting there watching some great action movie together, headphones on, turned up loud, oblivious to one of your kids screaming for you from the bedroom after a nightmare...

they are old enough to be self-ambulatory. But yes, one did sneak down once a few years ago when we were watching, sit off the end of the sofa and watch with us. Got caught when he let out an loud, long and impressive flatulent noise. Busted!

It seems you can have 2 headphones connected with this model.

1917 - great film, only time I picked up my phone was to see if there was a map of his route out there

Yep, I definitely wanna see that again. I love me a good war flick….and that one is so well made

@mn5 don’t get me wrong, there are places where you know they cut it…but there are loads of long sequences with no cuts and even just the idea of following one character as if one long shot, was so well done

….and lets be honest, the idea of following one person for an entire film has the potential to be really shit and boring. This never was though.

Went to see Dune.
Figured I'd watch it on a big-screen, I typically don't bother, but I was optimistic about this particular project, and hungover, with poor decision-making skills.
Earlier - my lazy-brain had been trying to talk me out of it, with one of the arguments being... "It's half a story, the shit/boring-half at that, just wait until the entire thing's ready, and then watch it all in relatively-quick succession."
My rational-brain argued "nah, fuck it, we've got a plan. And by the time Part-Two becomes available, we won't be able to watch Part-One on a big-screen."
My lazy-brain was correct.
I can see that the entire story, once available - is going to be a sweet watch. But watching 2.5 hours of "developing the scene"... without the 2.5 hours of epic awesomeness climax - was just... "meh" - as the kids said 5 years ago or so. -

@kirwan said in Movie review thread...:
@kruse pretty common now for part ones like this to be released when the second one gets released.
You mean re-screened.. at the cinemas?
Yeah - I wondered about that, but...As I was writing that up earlier, I was also thinking... by the time Part Two is released - cinema-sized screens will probably be relatively common in people's houses.

@Kruse going to have to disagree, finished it about 20min ago, still on the tram home, loved it and thought they made the set up really exciting
Wife humoured me, hadn’t ever heard of dune before apparently and said she really enjoyed, she said she was sad when aqua man died but he was a long way from water….
From memory the rebellion is a pretty small part of the book anyway, by that point he’s pretty over powered and effectively walks in
I do hope the second half comes quick though, it’s not a sequel so should be able to go straight into production
