Nobody pulls together an artistic epic quite like Denis Villeneuve. Go see it in a theater, Imax if possible. Villeneuve wants to finish his trilogy with Dune Messiah, and it would be a crime if he didn't get to.

Time flies when you're not having fun.

@danialexis Another great thread! I'm sorry I didn't get to follow along live!

@danialexis "Great Value Biff Tannen"😂

@danialexis I really enjoyed this movie. The last time I saw it was ten years ago when Rifftrax ran it in theaters for a day. Fantastic piece of fascist propaganda satire.

I'm changing my voicemail message to: "Congratulations, you've reached my voicemail! Leave a message or get your number blocked."

It really pisses me off when someone calls me and does not leave a message. Look, if it's not important enough to leave a message, then by definition it wasn't important enough to call in the first place.

@danialexis What a delightful thread, capped by the most cynical statement I've seen today. Bravo! 😂

Happy "Leap" Day when February has an extra...
...sweet zombie Jesus what the hell is that?

You know when a famous person is trending and you have to quick take a look because you are afraid they died?

Absolutely not the case for Mitch McConnell.

"Your Arms Too Short to Box with God", which is why I just poke him with a stick.

'Spider-man: The Voyage Home' that's the one where he saves the whales, right?

...then they made me take a penny back.

@danialexis Yes, I can't imagine a better example of the exact opposite reaction. I was a little leery going in, but Oppenheimer really earned its runtime. Not one unnecessary minute there. I just got back from 'Drive-Away Dolls', that I enjoyed, which wisely kept its runtime below an hour and a half. Movies need to know how much time they need to tell the story. I'm cautiously optimistic that Dune P2 earns its runtime next weekend.

@danialexis Oh, yes, Jupiter Ascending absolutely falls into that category.

Eddie Redmayne could have worked. They certainly needed someone who could go over the top and breath some life into the absurdity of this movie. I was actual bored at points, and that's not easy for a movie to do. I think it was because the cast seemed so bored with making it.

@danialexis I, too, went hope for a movie that was so bad it's good. Nope, just so bad that it's bad. This is pretty amazing given that 'I am Easily Entertainedᵗᵐ'

This might explain why my memory is so bad...
