I bestow upon you our highest honor:

He wasn’t great. But I can’t really hold a 9 year old accountable for a bad performance. It’s not like he’s a professional who had spent decades honing his craft or dreaming about the project. Unlike the guy who wrote his part and directed his performance.

The trailers make this look like the blandest movie ever made.

No, the prequels haven’t been “normalized” or redeemed. Showing them on regular cable a lot doesn’t make them better. Excusing them as “children’s films” or pointing out that Rise of Skywalker is worse doesn’t make them better or justify their low quality.

This is my point, although you made it better and in more depth. His death is much worse for Boeing than him being alive.  He’s done his damage and killing him now just causes discussions like the ones being had.

The obvious conclusion is Boeing did it, but that would be the obvious conclusion before the fact and anybody planning it would have to be Trump levels of non-self aware to not see that.

You know how Kettle chips absolutely destroy the roof of your mouth like shards of glass?

For the people who decided they did not like “Beau is Afraid” without seeing it, I can tell you this from experience: seeing it will not make you like it more.

What? He doesn't strike me as a guy who takes himself too seriously.

Of all the weird things about Trump, and there are too many to count, his obsession with TV ratings is definitely one of them.

When you are under 30, everything is new and you yourself just did the world a huge favor by discovering it and letting them know about it.

He didn't see it until now?

IIRC, Clavell wrote 6 or 7 books about feudal Asian cultures.  But I’m not sure how closely related they were.

I just want to say that Butler was definitely gonzo, but he was also doing a Stellan Skarsgard impression and that was a great choice.

I use this method a lot, especially in the winter, but I get more extreme with the temperatures. 200F in a real convection oven (so the temp is more reliable) till it hits the desired internal temp (30 minutes or more depending on thickness), then into a cast iron pan heated as hot as I can get it, which is over 600F

Zack should quit his day job and become a PR flack. He's much better at that than making movies.

This post obliquely suggests that Harry and Asta could get together at some point or are doing some sort of standard “will they/won’t they” sort of thing but none of that is close to true. They love each other, but it is very platonic and much more of a brother/sister or parent/child sort of thing, with the dynamic of

Looks like no. Except maybe a little on the northern Oklahoma/Arkansas border.

I just don't think it is possible to do "Messiah" without Paul being with Chani. That's the backbone of the book. You can probably tell a cautionary tale of the damage a Messiah can do, but it won't be "Dune: Messiah."
