I just watched it. I’m not a big South Park fan, but I didn’t think it was very funny. Is “chin diapers” funny? Because they say it like 5 times. And jokes remarking about it being the future are ironically pretty old. It’s not terrible, but it’s just not very entertaining. Maybe I’d have liked it more if I had paid…

I’ll add Girls5eva, which was pretty entertaining.

I think so. The difference is in how far we’re each willing to bend our professed principles to reach our own definition of success. I’m disappointed in the ways I’ve compromised my own principles so I try as hard as I can not to judge other people for not living up to their own standards, much less mine. (Unless…

I wanted to see it but I missed it... I must have had something else going on that weekend and then forgot about it. I’m vaccinated, live alone so I don’t have to worry about passing it on to anyone if I did get it, and live about a mile from my local AMC, so I use my A-List a lot; I’ve seen 19 movies in the theater…

I saw Eternals and French Dispatch this weekend and, somewhat surprisingly, of the two, I liked Eternals more. Eternals wasn’t great, but after the first 45 minutes it’s fun enough and I dig seeing the first living Celestials in the MCU. Kinda psyched to see the cosmic part of the MCU expanded beyond Guardians (and…

Nice! I was gonna post it if somebody already hadn’t.

He was going to change it, but Mark Davis told him it looked awesome. Wah-waaaaaahhhh... Didn’t notice somebody already played the Mark Davis card. That’ll teach me to look at all 9 comments (seriously, that’s it? Readers are jumping ship, or Kinja is just eating comments.) before I reply.

Was Zuck a rejected character in The Polar Express for looking not human enough?

I watched 1984 Dune after and Chalamet felt much better in the role than MacLachlan, even though they were about the same age when they each played the role, MacLachlan seemed too old for the part, to me.

I was hoping for Tom Bombadil as much as any Tolkien nerd, but to condense the story to 3 films of realistically viewable lengths in theaters, they had to make cuts, and that sort of disconnected side adventure is just the sort of thing that can be trimmed out. Having never read Dune, I can’t make that sort of call,…

Per the history.idaho.gov website, the name Idaho was made up for the state, whereas the ones you listed were places derived from actual people’s names, so yeah, it’s a bit worse. Lady Minneapolis would be pretty analogous.

Yeah, I mean some things happen but they feel like place setting. Like I said, it would probably be more interesting to me if I’d read the book, but since I didn’t, it was just kinda boring.

Ha! I didn't know that! I'm just now watching the 1984 version for the first time and I kinda wish I'd had that.

I feel like this was made for the book readers. I’ve never read Dune and I thought this was really long and nothing much happened, but I feel like Part 2, should they get the green light, will be pretty interesting. It felt like a prequel that could have maybe been replaced with a 10-page pamphlet just as easily to…

It felt very 80s to me. It would have made a good double feature with Pumpkinhead. If they were going for cheesy horror-schlock, it was ok. If they were going for more serious, modern horror, it was very bad. I just thought it was pretty dumb.

My father would be so mad because my father raised me to be a horrible person and my father would think it’s terrible that just because, my father, I’m a horrible person, my father, they treat me horribly, my father. And my only qualification is my father. My father-father-father-f-f-f-f-father. It’s so unfair. My…

Fortunately he stepped in when Ringo didn’t deliver his theme song in time.

I’ve never listened to the entire album. Got into Metallica around MoP and Garage Days, but my favorite is RtL. I saw them at the Monsters of Rock at the Metrodome and they played some AJFA songs pre-release but the sound was so muddy I couldn’t tell what they were playing. AJFA was... pretty OK, the mix was awful but…

But ALSO the district attorneys who prosecute the things being investigated!

And Sam Waterston was DA, too.
