    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Although the magical properties of spice is not what I would call sci-fi, rather fantasy/space opera, like the force in SW (at least until TPM). But I agree it is important to the story.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Yeah, I know, I bought my copies back in -78, but today, I see no reason why this fantasy, which is what is is, is so highly regarded. It wasn't good then, when I was 18 and thought it was, and it is no better now. And is it really still considered 'great'? Honest question, I'm not in the...

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    So I have tix for next week (28th), digital IMAX, so no 15/70, and I guess no 1,43 either. Still, the best I can get here. Need to find time to rewatch part one first.
