Watched Dune......and I thought it surprisingly well done and pretty true to the book......but the movie is only Part 1.

Loved that movie, too; love when a movie takes me places I couldn't ever have imagined like that on my own.
The first "Alien" was like that for me, as well.

That must be the new version 2021 not the one made in 1984

Yes; I saw the 1st version back in 1984; it had it's good points (some casting and effects and a bit of music from Eno) and lot of bad points, not the least of which it tried to cram a 6 hour movie into just over 2 hours and some bizarre drift from the book. One thing that LOTR's demonstrated was not to deviate from the book(s), and if it's a long movie, so be it.

A friend sent me this link. I don't often agree with Bill Maher. He is talking about Hollywood movie gun violence and Hollywood being social activists

I don't often agree with Bill Maher.

He used to be funny.

Bill Maher swipes liberals for hating Kyle Rittenhouse but will make '500 movies about vigilantes'

"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday by tearing into Hollywood for turning a blind eye on its "romanticization" of gun violence as liberals continue to call for gun control following a string of mass shootings in the United States.

"Now that we live in an age of uber-corporate responsibility where every large company in America bends over backwards to get on the politically correct side of every issue, Hollywood has to tell us- why does that not include gun violence?" Maher began. "When liberals scream, ‘Do something!’ after a mass shooting, why aren't we also dealing with the fact that the average American kid sees 200,000 acts of violence on screens before the age of 18 and that according to the FBI, one of the warning signs of a potential school shooter is ‘a fascination with violence-filled entertainment?’"

"It's funny, Hollywood is the wokest place on Earth in every other area of social responsibility. They have intimacy coordinators on set to chaperone sex scenes, they hire sensitivity readers to go through and edit scripts, Disney stood up to the 'Don't Say Gay' law, another studio spent $10 million to digitally remove Kevin Spacey from a movie, but when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence, crickets. Weird. The only thing we don't call a trigger is the one that actually has a trigger," Maher told viewers.

All the actors and actresses that are anti gun don't have any problems making movies with guns and violence where they make thousands of dollars.

They should announce a sequel to "Groundhog Day" and then just re-release the original.

I have seen parts of it and been bored enough to change channels within minutes. Perhaps I've only sampled the boring parts....

Tarantino mixed reality and fantasy in this movie. Margo Robbie as Sharon Tate. The movie ends on the night of Sept 8th 1969. Tate was murdered on Sept 9th 1969.
