American Pie / Dune cross-over.
Rewatched Dune part 1 and it was even better the second time. What an amazing looking and sounding film.

More retro-Cabrera, basis free trials of an app- “Quiet Place.” Seller, as it first tried to re-do “Metalhead” and succeeded but then decided it preferred “Alien” and became a farce.
I bought the 4K version recently and have watched it a couple of times since. I always use headphones because - as visually stunning as it is - the sound is absolutely something else.
Villaneuve recently said he’s stopping at Dune Messiah because the other books get too weird.

Saw Dune Part Deux last night.
Great. Fucking. Movie.
I fully intend to rewatch Part One (again), perhaps this weekend since we’re getting a hell of a rain in Northern California for the next few days, then go see Part Two shortly thereafter.
ETA - @Matt that makes a lot of sense; we literally had this same discussion at dinner last night before the movie about which books would Villeneuve film. Just can’t see him making a movie about a sandworm emperor who rules the galaxy for 5000 years.

I read in the NYT yesterday that viileneuve wants to make a 3rd movie w/ Dune Messiah, but the studio hadn’t committed. It also said he wanted to wait 10 years to allow the actors to age.

Sure I think it might be a bit much for most people but he’s proven he knows how to adapt the material so I wish he’d take a crack at it.

We finished romcom month last night with Roman Holiday. We started baseball movie month with Bad News Bears. I had forgotten the Carmen soundtrack, which is one of the best parts of the movie.
ETA: Nietsche claimed to have seen Carmen more than 70 times. It makes anything better, even Nietsche.

Finally watched “Napoleon” last night. Synopsis: military genius brought down due to inability to screw very well.

Watched “Oppenheimer” last night. Intense. Should sweep the awards, including Florence Pugh for Best Supporting Gratuitous Nudity

Gratuitous nudity! As I sink back to my second childhood, that’s my kind of movie!

I’ve seen Dune 2 described as being so dark it’s like a piano being played by only the black keys.
I can’t wait.

Wait until you see the scenes shot with an infrared camera.

Rewatching Groundhog Day and it just occurred to me: it’s a video game and everyone but Phil is an NPC. You keep re-doing the level until you get it right, in the meantime, you can do whatever the fuck you’d want but you won’t progress.

It’s so good, the progress! Groundhog Day rocks. It’s 900+ years - always Groundhog Day. I’ve watched that before my stroke 65 times and after my stroke 7 times and it’s still funny. #10 on my list of the best movie of all time.
