^I don't watch a lot of war movies but, this one is a cracker.

Movie Rating, 7.5\10.

Just watched Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among thieves.


Real nice movie. Unlike previous D&D movies, it was clear that the people involved have actual familiarity with D&D.


The parallels with Balder's Gate III were surprising.

Dune Part Two hype anybody?


It's been years since I went to a movie in theaters but I think this will get me to go

Supposed to be better than the first one if that is possible.

I watched part one in my private VR moviehall on the XXXXL screen. Visually stunning, but the style the narration was pushed forward was a bit sterile, for my taste, however, that perfectly reflects the mood I felt when readin the books (severla times). Seen under the aspect of adequately translating literature into a book-matching movie, the film was extremely good.

I only hated that they bowed to modern zeitgeist and lobby groups and made Liet Kynes a woman where in the book he was a man. Unnecessary, and factually incorrect.

Villeneuve has several high-ranking masterpieces under his belt now. Prisoners. Arrival. Blade Runner 2049. Dune. As a thriller and taken for itself: Sicario. Thats a very impressive record already.


More Dune films are planned, at least Dune Messiah, possibly also Children of Dune. Myself would prefer to end with God Emperor of Dune, it brings things to a logical conclusion, it closes the circle and is an interesting though difficult book in itself. Books 5 and 6 are unneeded.

This is what I'm hearing. I think this will be the first movie to drag me to a theater in a while.

I'm hoping to get the big screen experience for part two when it comes out.


Unfortunately, I am only just now getting around to reading the book for the first time. I'm really enjoying it, but I doubt I'll finish 700 more pages before Friday
