"Winter is coming!"

I thought that was going to be about a Game of Thrones sequel.

Beautiful.

Despite that richness it somehow felt thin or lacking passion. — praxis

We've gone from Lynch's extravagant Baroque style to Villeneuve's minimalist Brutalism. The characters resemble and are coterminous with the sand, buildings and worms. Maybe they just haven't eaten enough spice yet.

It crossed my mind that that may have had something to do with the feeling.

Very much appreciated the consistency of the aesthetic.

I enjoyed Dune

@180 Proof did you see Dune yet?

No, life has gotten in the way lately. Glad it's done well enough for the studio to greenlight "Part Two". Reviews by critics, and mostly friends, have really been encouraging. I'm hoping to go to a matinee next week at the local IMAX.

On Capitalism, etc:

"Our moment permits interest in one question only – Will we of Deadwood be more than targets for assfucking? To not grab ankle is to declare yourself interested. What's your posture, Bullock?" :fire:

@praxis agree?

Uh, my rocket science is a little rusty.

Just removed instructions for recording episodes of Yellowjackets on Showtime. Ghastly.

Also, an interview with the writer & editor of the companion book to the documentary

“It’s going to be such an incredible sort of comical thing, like, in 50 years’ time, you know: ‘They broke up because Yoko sat on an amp.’”~Macca, 1969

@Kenosha Kid agree?

I think it's time I watch all of Twin Peaks again, it's been a few months now. Great choice!

I enjoyed Get Back (the 8 hour version) much more than George Harrison did.

No doubt, we all did. :smirk:

@Michael agree?

A review.

Watched the new Matrix movie on HBO last night. Reeeeallly bad.

Reeeeallly bad. — praxis

You take the blue pill—the story ends, and you can put the Matrix behind you. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and get to watch an unlimited amount of crappy prequels, sequels and remakes.

Watching 2001: A Space Odyssey on New Year's Eve is a four decades plus tradition of mine, which in recent years I've supplimented with critical interpretations (much more than mere reviews) of the film or book or both (mostly) on YouTube, such as this one:
