We watched Babylon last night. I don't like to tell people not to watch something because different strokes for different folks. When I saw the trailer I thought it might be entertaining, it wasn't. I got the feeling they didn't know what they wanted to do with it. It almost seemed frantic at times and it goes in several different directions, frankly I wish I had saved the 3 hours to watch something else.

I watched a Mel Gibson/Vince Vaughn B-level movie called Dragged Across Concrete.
I thought it was pretty good for what it was, but man did it have a really messed up scene in it with a new mother going to work for her first day. I thought she was just going to be a hostage, but nope...... |

So watching Dune again, and it's infuriating that they (ok the writer) couldn't come up w a better betrayal (why/how it happened), it's totally illogical and not realistic, one dude can do that much damage and no one knew until it was too late? I mean, cmon....not very believable how it went down.

For sure, but I already saw the movies, so it's too late for me, not that I have time to devour novels.

Dr Yeuh (sp?), ridiculous he could singlehandedly do all that (I've only seen the films, maybe the book is more convincing).

I have only seen it fully once when it first came out. From my memory, the doctor just parallelizes the main people and turns off the defensive system while they are sleeping. What is unbelievable is such a huge army doesn't have extensive people watching while most are sleeping, that is like army base 101. and he is already paranoid about the emperor and harkanan. |

Exactly, they *knew* it's a trap, you'd think they would be freaking on-guard but nope, everyone decided to have a slumber party! Also, this en masse sleepover happened *after* they found that holed-up Harkonnen assassin dude launching poison darts everywhere, I mean, cmon!!! LOL.

Dune is a pretty weak jesus story, full of poor writing... but with enough suspension of disbelief, it's a fun watch. |

Americans spend a substantial percentage of their after-tax income on housing. That's been the case since this country's remarkable inflation from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. This phenomenon is now baked-into the system, and you have to work at it to win that part of the game. As always, my 2¢.

Watched "Nope" last night. Didn't really like it. Maybe some folks did, but I didn't.
So I'll have to say...

I do too. Loved the Tom Cruise movie. Even liked the original with Gene Barry. Saw it when I was a kid and thought it was pretty exciting. Hope this new one lives up to the two earlier versions.
