Watching part 1of Dune might give you the push to dive into the book. It's a wonderful book but it's also really dense.

I almost always watch the movie and then read the book (when I haven't already read the book).

Books are almost always better and more detailed, so you can watch and enjoy the movie without noticing the parts they left out. Then you can can read the book and love it the same.

It also helps keeping track of character names in books that have a large number of weirdly named characters.

General rule: if it's not on the production company's official Youtube page, it's probably a fake or fan-made trailer.

They're live streaming the actual trailer premiere at 10AM:

Dune was one of my top five theatre experiences in the last 20 years, and I didn't even see it in IMAX or AVX or anything fancy

Nope, that’s just a fan re-cut and badly edited footage from last year’s trailer. Remember, two posts up:

Though a real new trailer should be out any day now.

And Cillian Murphy? Could you have cast a better Oppenheimer?

New movie by Yorgos Lanthimos, one of my favourite current directors.



By far the most stylized movie he's done, but I'm sure it will be nuts and have the same black comedy elements with creepy emotionless dialogue as The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Lobster.

Presumably because his name is so fun to say.

Could be great, could be a boring movie with AI mumbo jumbo smushed in that's actually just a generic action movie trying to be more than it is.

It'll entertaining and I'll watch.

This was like alot of kid's my age (mid/late 30s) who played GT all the time, and dreamed of what it was like to drive a real car like that. We'd stay up all hours of the night perfecting the one car, only to get onto the next.

This is based off a true story too, which is absolutely insane.
