I think I made it 5 to 10 minutes before falling asleep. I remember the banning of thinking machines. Then it goes blank.for any Dune product you will need to make your own decision because my attitude to Dune is hypercritical. but yes, they are related and i did not like it past the first 30 seconds.
to be clear, it has nothing to do with the "break canon". the only canon issue is that they have an introductory speech saying that the butlerian jihad was a "war" against the machines, a Terminator-style bombs and guns to the robots, while it wasn't that in the book, but i really don't care for the change because the end result "there are no more thinking machines" is the same. no, the acting and direction is bad, thats why i didnt like it.

What I dig most about the Cranked movies is someday they will be considered period pieces. 🤣I have to comment on this one. I was pharmaceutical meth for a while and I have to say, no bueno.
The feats of endurance and strength are probably pushing the plausibility envelope, but they're done with purpose and humor. One of my all time fave Statham movies.
I wouldn't have objected if they'd made a passing reference to those of us whom the drug puts to sleep, but seriously, who would believe that anyway.
A decent fanedit of this film would make it a masterpiece, i'm not joking.
I don't think I've seen Mormon girls who weren't hot...hot Mormon missionary girls
There are Mormons in the Middle East?I don't think I've seen Mormon girls who weren't hot...
Maybe. Never seen one in real life.There are Mormons in the Middle East?
OK finished Last voyage of the Demeter, being generous with 5/10. Half the movie was too dark lighting wise, but late 1800s at sea ok.Started watching The last voyage of the Demeter, on lunch break so... really would probably be better on a 65 4k with a dark room, (the movie is dark) but it is very anticipatingly obvious. But I like Vampire movies, so 7ish/10 on the condition I have not finished it yet.
EDIT: I thought Alien Romulus was supposed to hit stream on the 19th, now I'm seeing the 21st. Ugh
Seen Sandman? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1751634/reference/The TV show EVIL, on paramount or CBS, is decent, if you like the heaven hell stuff.
Families enjoy slasher movies???Blind fury: fun slasher movie the whole family can enjoy 8/10

lolololololBlind fury: fun slasher movie the whole family can enjoy 8/10
No I have not, will have to be a lunch time in my mobile theater watch.
Does this have anything to do with the Bruce Willis "The Jackal"? Out of curiosity.in preparation for The Day Of The Jackal, i watched
The Day Of The Jackal - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069947/reference/
the 1973 original.
Oh boy.
When i started watching, i thought "uhm, this film has some good pacing. Stuff happens at a fairly rapid rate and we've already set up a good backstory for the main plot".
The the plot keeps advancing, and then it keeps advancing, and, then i notice that i'm half an hour in of a 2h20m film.
Yeah because TDOTJ needs to tell you eeeevery bit of the story in detail.
Edward Fox (who's only had minor roles since) is The Jackal, a british (it's relevant) assassin at the pay of a group of french ultranationalists, who want Charles De Gaulle, the airport guy, assassinated for having granted independence to Algeria.
The Jackal takes on the mission and moves first to Rome, then around the world to gather his gear and set up a plan for the assassination. At the same time the secret service of half of europe is looking for him, but since he's just one guy, it's not exactly easy to find him, with 1960s technology.
I thought the film was ok; i loved seeing the french riviera, and rome, back before everything was neon and publicity posters, before traffic, and found the plot and acting to be interesting, but not two-and-a-half-hours interesting. I guess watching it with friends would probably alleviate a bit the pressure, but who's got friends nowadays, amirite?
Currently at a high 7.8/10 on IMDb, i wouldn't go higher than a 6.5/10. The intricacies of the plot is what made the book great (allegedly) so i'm not sure it could be cut in any sensible way. And frankly, the whole film is shot in a way that we're kinda rooting for the bad guy, when said bad guy gets killed just before he can complete his mission, it kinda sucks.

Also watched over the weekend "I care alot" Has Peter Dinklage in it, along with 2 other I think well known actresses that I don't feel like looking up.
The whole premise if this can be done is quite disturbing if the plot can be done in reality. Wouldn't surprise me in America though.
I think you do end up rooting for the obviously real bad guy, but can be torn from the bad women, and the Judge, just a face palm.
