How Dune fits in current day Hollywood and how it should inspire new and bolder filmmaking.

 

 

But will it be as bold as Lynch's Dune?

But even though I didn't like any of Scott's alien prequels or Hannibal, he never repeated the same story. He just made them bad movies. 

 

Even though Hannibal is a sequel to Silence Of The Lambs, I somehow enjoyed it as a grotesque freak show. 

[So Ridley Scott is directing a Gladiator sequel...]

The story is going to be about a young gladiator, played by Ryan Gosling, in search of the legendary Maximus, who might be still alive and residing in Greece. 

 

[So Ridley Scott is directing a Gladiator sequel...]

Finally you guys feel what I felt when they announced a Blade Runner sequel.

 

 

It hurts, doesn't it?

 

 

Hehehehehehe ...

[So Ridley Scott is directing a Gladiator sequel...]

Whoever the composer will be for Gladiator 2, he will copy Zimmer like his life is gonna depend on it. 

[General movie chitchat]

AfterThe Phantom Thread he said that he was getting too old to be appearing in movies and that he was done. I believed him the first time. It's a smart decision. It's better to quit while you are still at your peak.

[What is the last Television series you watched?]

It does get a bit dull after a couple of episodes. There's this very long episode that makes you wonder what the whole point is. It plays like a movie and doesn't have much in common with everything that came before it.

Is Tintin a must-have score? I don't think I ever listened to it. 

[What is the last Television series you watched?]

Agreed!

I really like this series, but honestly, every time there's a close-up of Nicole Kidman's face, I wonder what she did to it. This woman has become a horror, and it's such a shame.

 

In every series she's in, the appearance of her face and her extreme thinness are, for me, an inappropriate distraction.

 

[What is the last Television series you watched?]

It's very dramatic.

I was waiting for years for this (now if anyone could do the same for Little Buddha):

 

 

• New 4K restoration of the original theatrical version

 

I just noticed this (I think). The extended version is not restored, right? And it looks okay?

Here's a little bit of trivia for you guys. All the pics on the front and back cover of Paul McCartney's Driving Rain album were take by Paul's Casio spy watch.

Yeah but did you enjoy it? 😜

 

Somehow he was able to keep on watching, so either someone forced him, or maybe there was some element of entertainment after all.

So what do you want to see in a Superman movie and that you think the world hasn't seen before?

 

[The DCU - DC Universe]

Unless you are 12 years old and never watched a Superman movie, I don't understand why anyone would be interested in seeing another movie about Superman (or Batman). That's why Watchmen was so refreshing to me because finally we got something else (in subject and style).

[The DCU - DC Universe]

He looks dumb.

No Lev or Yara yet, but Manny, Nora, Owen and Mel are cast now

 

 

https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/last-of-us-season-2-cast-manny-danny-ramirez-mel-owen-1235927601/

• The Good Doctor and Riverdale actor Spencer Lord will play Owen, officially described by HBO as "a gentle soul trapped in a warrior’s body, condemned to fight an enemy he refuses to hate."
• Ariela Barer of How to Blow Up a Pipeline will play Mel, described as "a young doctor whose commitment to saving lives is challenged by the realities of war and tribalism."
• Danny Ramirez, who scored high-profile parts in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Top Gun: Maverick, is also joining as Manny, "a loyal soldier whose sunny outlook belies the pain of old wounds and a fear that he will fail his friends when they need him most."
• Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and You star Tati Gabrielle will play Nora, "a military medic struggling to come to terms with the sins of her past."

 

Can't say I'm familiar with any of these guys, personally - never seen any of the referenced shows/movies either

 

They will have a hard time to match the chemistry/dynamic that existed between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in Season 1.

Good news for JWFaners!

The sequel, while impressive, loses the restraint and elegance of the first film, leaning more towards a blockbuster experience. The quiet confidence of Part One has morphed into unshackled bravura in Part Two. | Rating: 3.5/5 | Wenlei Ma
