I watched Dune last night in 4K glory and it was good. Special effects were pretty cool. I thought it was a bit of a slow start but picked up as the movie progressed. I wonder how long it will be before the next installment is released.

I haven't seen the original for decades so I don't remember much about it. I don't remember them having a force field (shield) protecting them during battles. Honestly I didn't really like those effects as it brought it down a notch IMHO. I'm nitpicking of course. Overall I enjoyed it.

+1 for HBO Max streaming this movie. I especially like the fact that I have a subscription for free as part of my service with AT&T for fiber Internet service.

Watched Uncut Gems on Netflix last night. It was good but made me feel stressed out the entire time. Adam Sandler did a good job, def wasn't a comedy.

One of the few where he wasn't acting foolish. I liked it.

I also really liked this one for some reason. Not my normal set, but i liked it a lot. Adam was great in it.

Sa The Thing (1982) last night. Surprisingly good, really good actually. I love a bug movie but this was better than most.

Been wanting to watch this since March of last year. Finally got to see it. First Bond film that I tear ran down my face. Also the first Bond film that I witnessed movie-goers actually leaving the theater before the film was over. Enjoyed the film, not the best Bond movie made, especially for Craig; but I guess it was what had to be in order to do whatever the hell they plan to do after this. HUGE bond fan since I was kid. I have no concern as to what they do with the franchise from here. Let it burn. Not sure if they plan to keep Lashana, but I don't know that I'll go out of my way to watch anything they release after this.

I honestly wish I had just waited.

Enjoyed Adam Sandler's "Hubie Halloween" on Netflix last night, especially since Hocus Pocus has become the over-played go-to movie for everyone.

It's got a 5.1/10 on IMDB but the wife & I love it after it came out last year. Great throwbacks to all the 90s Sandler movies

That's how I'm thinking now, it's not a film to rush and see especially with what some are saying and of how you added that ppl were leaving before the end, it's not the way I expect Bond films to be.

They had that big, blocky, sharp-edged shield in the original. It totally blurred the person wearing it, and I simply couldn't unsee BlockHeads when it was on

. The new one is much closer to the body, and didn't seem (from fight scenes where everyone died) to be quite as effective.

Ahh I see, lol. Yeah these new ones don't seem to do jack shit.
I just found an example of how bad the effects were from the original. Wow, just wow.

lakefront · 11-01-2021, 03:06 PM

If I remember from the books, shields were developed to stop projectile/energy weapons. Thats why use of blades was so important in such an advanced society.

TiMSport · 11-01-2021, 03:08 PM

Why did Frank Herbert come up with a name like "Duncan Idaho"? Lol.
