Dune was spectacular. Did it end in the middle? Yes. But whatever. The production design and especially THAT FUCKING SCORE just blew my mind. See it in IMAX.
My only advice is if you absolutely have to watch it at home, put on headphones and crank the volume to max. This movie needs to be LOUD.
And yeah if you haven't read the book a lot of this won't make much sense I think. At least not until there's a second movie.
Shouldn't have doubted Zimmer. He really did create alien world music for this.

I'll let you in on a little secret: In markets as competitive as streaming services, you sometimes "overpay" because part of the cost involves denying your competition of that content on their platform. If Netflix doesn't pay Chappelle, Hulu or Amazon or HBO or Showtime will.
It's like when people were asking why Facebook bought Oculus. You know why? So that Google or Amazon or Apple wouldn't buy them. That's why.
He can do what he wants, but he’s not throwing his career away over a principle. He’s either scared of the vaccine or doesn’t believe it works or whatever. Not buying this whole “it’s simply not fair to tell me what to do” shtick.
Nothing exposes complaints about wealth disparity as masked expressions of jealousy like the idea that it's unfair that the median U.S. worker makes a fraction of the wealth of the literal richest man on the planet.
Also Robert Reich is worth millions, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary from a public university, and charges $40,000 an hour for public speaking. Can rich people stop lecturing us on the evils of wealth?
I'm additionally confused by the notion that wealth taxes are always painted as miniscule % increases that amount to a lot of raw dollars. But if that's true, Elon Musk will still be worth hundreds of billions anyway. So what's the endgame of this complaining?
Another HUGE tactical error by Fauci. The literal only attitude public health can have about Christmas is mitigation. The only people who would cancel Christmas on Fauci's word are not the people he's concerned about with regard to spreading covid. It's totally useless.
He needs to realize that it's the second Christmas under covid and people are going to do it. They should all be focused on providing tips to remain safe instead of holding the entire holiday up in the air as some sort of carrot/stick if everyone finishes their peas and carrots.
After 4 episodes of #MidnightMass I'd urge you to think of it less like Hill House/Bly Manor and more like Mare of Easttown but with Horror elements. Slow burn but has some really chilling stuff in it.
HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT
Man, all Flanagan needs is a little breathing room to set stuff up and if you have the patience to sit through it, the rewards are so worth it.
They didn't reach out to her on Yom Kippur. Her response is dated September 15, which is the day before Yom Kippur. The complaint is about the day the story ran.
Was it the best decision to run it on Yom Kippur? Meh. But the timing of the email exchange is fine and implying they had some antisemitic motive here adds ad hominem insult to the injury of accusing them of misogyny. She's a flailing mess and her defenders are embarrassing.
