There's no real emotional connection, I think.
If Darth Vader had killed Luke rather than just cutting his hand off, that would have been a bit upsetting, but if someone had killed Paul Atreides, I would've been like, okay, can we get back to Zendaya now?

I made it through the first hour last night and it?s OK so far. Not great, but not terrible. Production and cinematography is not where the budget went on this one. At times it seems like TV show quality. It also seems like every line from the villain, Ezekiel, is dubbed. It just sounds different from other actors dialogue. Plan to get to the rest later tonight, but first hour was watchable and lightly entertaining.

Yeah these recent Dune flics are definitely good but they wont have the lasting effect of the OG Star Wars movies or Lord of the Rings. It just doesn?t have the underlying message of hope and goodness like those do.

I had a big Dune weekend:
Dune (1984) - A Duke's son leads desert warriors against the galactic emperor and his father's evil nemesis to free their desert world from the emperor's rule.
I'm surprised at the positive reviews. Much of it seems like a joke now. 4.5/5
Dune (2021) - A noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future.
I like that it takes its time with a lot of world-building. This is how the movie should be done. 8.5/10
Dune: Part Two (2024) - Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.
With even more action, it's better than Part One. 9/10
Jodorowsky's Dune (2013) - The story of cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky's ambitious but ultimately doomed film adaptation of the seminal science fiction novel.
This is actually my favorite of the four films. Jodorowsky is a real character. 9/10

The 2 Sci-Fi channel Dune miniseries were really well done if you get a chance to watch them.
Frank Herbert?s Dune from 2000 and Frank Herbert?s Children of Dune from 2003. Lots of great actors in it. They are available on DVD and Bluray as a set.

I'd give it the same rating and yeah, Connor was really bad....

Watched the rest of Madame Web last night. This is nowhere near as bad as people are saying. With a little more attention on fleshing out the story and characters it could have been much better also. I liked it and in many ways it is mostly a set-up for all of the characters being introduced so a shame if there will not be a Part 2 as that is where it could get much more fun I give it a 6/10.

The Bat Woman (1968)
6.5/10
The cover caught my attention, as did the title. This is the 4K restoration, and it looks good, given it is from 1968
The fighting action is about as serious as the Batman TV series from 1966.
The Bat Woman was a fun movie to watch, and obviously 100% CGI free!
There are a number of underwater scenes, some of which look better than others. The sea creature, a man in a rubber costume looks great!

That?s a hot take. It?s interesting to compare Star Wars to Dune, considering Lucas owes it to Herbert. There is plenty of emotional connection to Paul?s story, you just need to understand it better.
