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.

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.

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

Because nobody could say "Bene Gesserit"

I liked it! Can’t wait for next installment.

TiMSport · 11-02-2021, 04:39 PM

I don't think they've even begun filming the next part yet. It's going to be a long time before we can see it unfortunately.

TXSTYLE · 11-02-2021, 05:38 PM

DUNE Chapter 2 won't release until 2023!

Army of Thieves on Netflix was really good! The main girl in there was Daenerys’ right hand woman in Game of Thrones. She is so beautiful!

When you leave the bar don't get in The Wrong Car

Alfisti · 11-03-2021, 08:50 AM

meh. SO much meh.

TXSTYLE · 11-03-2021, 11:06 AM

Remaining most anticipated for me:

The Eternals
The Matrix
Antlers

M5Rick · 11-05-2021, 06:07 AM

A lot of the new movies suck, this comedy with Danny Kaye as Ernie is a gem.

TXSTYLE · 11-05-2021, 11:50 AM

Watched Jack Reacher that was playing on EPIX. I'm a huge Tom Cruise fan. This was a good, entertaining movie.

Sedan_Clan · 11-05-2021, 12:06 PM

Who will be watching the new Dexter series?

King Rudi · 11-05-2021, 12:26 PM

Watched Old last weekend. Bizarre movie, but I expected nothing less coming from M Night Shamalamadingdong.

Oh shit, this is soon huh? I need to hurry and watch the last season, er season before last now. Slightly stoked about this.

Also still haven't managed to secure the Creepshow series either. Work has consumed me as of late.

Alfisti · 11-05-2021, 12:33 PM

Yeah I liked Dexter, even the ending I thought was ok.

As stated, I have not seen the ending and was advised not to watch it, as it would only piss me off. You sir, would be the first that I have heard otherwise from. Not sure what happens to the sister, but I just know something will happen to her. Honestly, I'm cool with it though. Something about her face and personality I don't care for. The rest of her seems to be......proportioned rather nicely.....like from the neck down is all good.
