I don't know if anyone has steamed clothes before, but attempting to steam them while they're on your body is a mistake you only make once.

Are you sure he didn't ask for steamed ham and they just misheard?

You make that mistake once if you're drunk or an idiot or both. A rational human would make that mistake zero times.

The funny thing about those stories is the number of people who will respond to them or tweets about them saying "well, I actually WORK on the set of Batwoman and I believe everything she said!" "No, I ACTUALLY work there and she was absolutely horrible to the crew!"

Guys... we know you're lying. None of you work on the show. No one who works on the show is posting random comments on internet stories. Get a grip.

You think so? The Key Grip is probably the one who would have the real story.

Listen, a young fashion-forward man who is heading out for the night and has some wrinkles in his shirt isn't always fully processing the heat required to create "steam," ok?

Dune was incredible. The costumes, set design, cinematography, and performances all came together to make this totally alien sci-fi world come to life, and It's one of those movies that just grips you from beginning to end

I'm thinking a lot of book readers are going to be cranky at how much character backstory was cut to save time. I'm too tired to get into it now, but I think a lot of material relevant to certain characters was left on the table. The movie didn't feel at all compromised, however. Different mediums and all that.

Finally got around to watching Black Widow. I really enjoyed it. Had a Bourne/Mission Impossible sort of feel with a little Marvel flair thrown in.

I like the character of Yelena. Her glib humour was a nice change from the usual Marvel tone.

Wow. 2 hours and 45 minutes to tell only half of the first book and there are already a lot of backstories cut out!

Like I say, different mediums and it was going to be a challenge. One that stood out to me, and I'll spoiler this:

My only big complaint is how they portrayed Jessica. She's supposed to be the one that trained Paul but she comes across as a failing acolyte who can't control her emotions.

I could think of a dozen different things that I may have done different or included in the dialog/plot that would have communicated what's going on, but that's probably a fool's errand. I guess the intent was to have some things happen to reward the book knowledge but done in a way that it's just texture for someone coming in new.

For people who haven't read the books how did the movie feel to you? Was it just a big spectacle but kind of confusing not really understanding where things were going or what's going on? Or did you feel that the movie had a solid understandable plot?

For example:

I really enjoyed Dune, and I haven't read the books or seen the previous movie so I was completely blind going in. So glad they decided to go ahead with the sequel, everything about this film was too notch.

That Morbius scene with Michael Keaton looks like a post credits thing. Can't believe that would be in the trailer though.

My wife likes the Venom movies so we'll probably go to this one as well.
