What do you think of the new show? I went in expecting to hate it. I do not! Falling for it quite hard.

Shipping notification on Moon's Milk (In Four Phases). I ordered from Boomkat. Anyone receive their copy yet?

Thufir's role was heavily diminished in Part One. I didn't mind that, it certainly didn't bother me during Part Two. Do we even see Thufir in the aftermath of the battle in Part One? (need a rewatch) Sure, the film could be improved with some heart plug action/ode to Lynch's version "don't be angry, everyone gets one here" along some milking of a cat for an antidote (lol) but Thufir's arc would be a fairly chunky/clunky section from the book to add to Part Two. Is there a full list of deleted scenes from Part One? (will have a look)

Did you notice anything strikingly different 2nd time around/did you appraise a scene/sequence differently?

Expensive, but it will be the last bit of vinyl I buy this month. (unless a record conforms to essential purchase classification) If I could perhaps add more temptation, have you seen the Folio Society editions for Dune? https://www.foliosociety.com/uk/dune.html

Caved and pre-ordered. Time for a re-read. (Sure I've mentioned this before) if you like audiobooks the Dune one is pretty pretty good: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Dune-Audiobook/B004FTBFSI

It is! Poorly worded comment on my part. I was referencing the post I quoted "... these set pieces were pure CG but they all looked amazing and almost never took me out of the moment." I didn't get taken out of the moment while watching, the desert mouse or even with the sandworms, things overtly CG... I was just so engrossed. We went to the same IMAX, guessing you saw the same trailers. The Planet of the Apes, Kong v Godzilla or whatever it's called. I can't watch films like that, it's like watching a computer game.

I loved it, so glad I caught it in IMAX. I had a similar experience as yourself. It did feel a bit rushed in the 3rd act, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I thought they made some good choices removing some elements/leaving them for Messiah. The CGI didn't bother me. Best cinema experience I've had in a long time, certainly for an IMAX experience. I was worried that Zendaya was going to ruin it for me, but she was solid, happy to be wrong about that. However, she did stick out like a sore thumb with her accent from the rest of the Fremen, but I believed the relationship between Paul and Chani. They had great chemistry. I did laugh out laugh loud when Walken went full Walken, but again, a minor grip. Great soundtrack too, though I still hate the main theme that sounds like Lion King music. Some pieces did made me think of the Toto score, nothing overt, but the presence of the guitar...

Shōgun (2024) - I was expecting to hate it, but found myself really getting into it by the end of Ep 2. I don't like the colour grading and cgi/tracking shots look a meh to me. Some early parts of ep 1 felt like I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean, had the vibe of a generic big budget fantasy. Was half expecting Captain Barbossa or Bootstrap-Anjin-san to emerge for the thick mists during the first 10 minutes. However, the casting is solid: Anna Sawai - She still jars for me still, but improving. Cosmo Jarvis - my initial misgivings have fallen away now. Hiroyuki Sanada - excellent as Toranaga Tadanobu Asano - excellent. He's good a playing slightly tapped people. ... I think they've made some improvements to the pacing/plotting too. Looking forward to Ep 3 tomorrow. I've heard good things about Slow Horses, they've renewed for a 4th season. It's on my maybe list.
