Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I don't give a **** about Dune at all, just curious if you guys got the much talked about popcorn bucket. I was at the counter and had forgotten about it and then remembered and told the guy “I want the bucket do you have the bucket? I need that bucket” He responds “oh we got the bucket but you have to get the combo with the drink to get it” so I did. Paid for it. Then he hands me a huge ass dune branded bucket of popcorn with no Worm Dunussy on top. I feel like he knew I wasn’t excited to get a regular ass popcorn bucket. ****. regardless, Dune is fantastic you should check them both out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Maybe Dune 3 will have Steven Seagal and Tom Cruise in it and then Spiff will go see it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it’s dry flavorless trash like rice cakes. Comparing it to ice cream is heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I was shocked that the Dune popcorn bucket doesn't come with a punch out hole in the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Watched Dune again, to get psyched for Dune 2. I rarely go to theaters, but I may join the unwashed masses and head to the theater for Dune 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Dune 2 is massive and monumental and very, very METAL. Cinematic art of the highest order. Highest recommendation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearfeather Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Stumbled across this one a few weeks ago, and caught most of it. I remember reading the book in sixth or seventh grade, and saw it in the theater a couple of years later. It was the first time I had seen it in over 40 years. The story takes place around 1965, and the movie has a very late 50's to mid 60's look and feel to it. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, it's not a great movie, but ok to good, I'd say. Basically a story of rival gangs and cliques. What I had forgotten was the cast in this movie, and then thinking about the careers so many of them went on to have, but how relatively unknown they were at the time. C.

He said he would stop at that and let someone else handle any future books 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a very good movie. If you get a chance, there's an extended directors cut. The one thing I didn't like about that cut is that some of the new music didn't fit with the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I watched Adam Sandler’s Spaceman on Netflix. It’s just a mishmash of lifted ideas from better science fiction movies delivered by a bored low energy Adam Sandler. Not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t really need another one but if you liked the other 3, you’ll like this one. I can see Kung Fu Panda 5; if they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really go much for the sci-fi either, but I definitely appreciated that somebody was able to create this entire world out of nowhere with a unique government structure, religion, culture, etc. and then tell an effective story within that world and have every minute of the movie look like a visual masterpiece. Lotta good people came together to make that puppy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Spiff doesn’t know that Paul Atreides unleashes a half-dozen Roadhouse throat-rips on his ascent to the Arrakis throne. Also, the soundtrack is like 75% SRV and ZZ Top tunes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
