Still need to catch both of these

If you’ve got Prime, both are on separate channels that you can do 7 day trials on. Knocking them out that way.

All this Dune talk got me itching to seek out Incendies for the first time.

Holy bloody fuck.

Literally just added Incendies to my Mubi watchlist this afternoon. :O

 

[Bennnnn]

I’d argue Dune 1 is very much just the beginning of the story so to me it’s better taken with 2une. That said, 2une is phenomenal. Like a true theatrical experience.

I still have never seen any of these... I think I just found something to do over break.

This is surprising given some of your favorites. This seems like a film series you should love.

It's one of the many things that I always told myself I'd watch eventually and just never got around to. Better late than never to rectify that, though, I suppose.

Not sure if similar, but I just watched Alien for the first time. Strangely I had seen Aliens before.

What ya think? Haven’t caught it yet but I love Sandler in dramas. Sci-Fi is icing on the cake even thought this has been getting middling reviews (as is tradition for sandman)

Oh no doubt we all have our blind spots. Heck, I just confessed to having never seen Titanic on here a week or two ago.

in my first apartment my roommates and I spent a good portion the 2000/2001 school year dropping LSD, watching the Matrix on VHS, and listening to Kid A (sometimes all at the same time). Lots of good memories.

I saw Aliens before Alien too. Aliens is a lot of fun but Alien is a better movie.

Agreed. From what I remember Aliens is more of an adventure sci-fi whereas Alien is a slow-burn sci-fi horror.

I didn’t watch any of the Godfather movies until a few years ago. I tried The Godfather in 2010 but fell asleep. This is a safe space.

Yeah, Aliens and Predator make sense being the same universe Alien and Predator do not.

I’ve not seen Predator 2 which I heard is kind of a continuation of that classic Hollywood big city mayhem. Alien^3 I want to see but am scared due to it being Fincher’s “Dune” a la David Lynch.

TBH, the Assembly cut of 3 isn’t bad. It’s still not as good as the first 2 but a big improvement over the theatrical release.

I'll probably watch it again and see if anything stands out more on a second viewing. Sandler played it well and it was definitely unlike any other role I've seen him play. But as a film the middling reviews are fair. It mostly succeeds as a human connection story, but it tries too hard to be "cosmically deep" and it mostly fails to develop that well enough to fit the tone.

I saw parts 1 and 2 for the first time just last week before my Paramount+ promo ended.
