Plus (to support your argument) I think Vilanueve was pretty adamant about this being built for the theater. So to experience it as it's intended...

Are we going to have to wait for him to wrap up other projects?

What I saw said 2023. I also saw today he wants to do a trilogy. Not sure if that will happen or not. It’s making decent money but I was a bit surprised they announced already. I’m guessing there’s a bit of handicapping returns due to COVID, so they must think it’s good enough. I know it beat expectations.

Dune ruled. I paired it with Michod's "The King" on Netflix because I just didn't get enough of beautifully shot, violent but contemplative movies with Chalamet as reluctant messiah thrust into his princely fate to replace his father at too young an age by forces outside of his control and bristling against his lack of free will but still willing to play his part. I highly recommend both.

Free Guy was pretty fun. The YouTube people felt icky to me, but that's because I'm old. My kid liked that. I can let it go. However, the Marvel and Star Wars pop-in seriously pissed me off. I'll eat my cat if Anna and Elsa aren't in Free Guy 2.

They should just cut to the boardroom and have some suit tell us no more movies until we all buy a Lego Star Wars set and go to Disney World. Would only be slightly less jarring

I think Disney should probably just buy storytelling outright.

It took me three watches, but I finally fell in love with Blade Runner. I think my enjoyment of 2049 helped me finally get there. Great movies. Both of them.

The other night, I caught "Best Man Down". It's a drama (with a little comedy mixed in) that features Justin Long and Tyler Labine, who I am a fan of.

It was pretty good. The premise is that the best man (Labine) dies after the wedding reception, and instead of going on their honeymoon, the not-very-wealthy couple needs to pay for his funeral. In their quest to notify people about the funeral arrangements, they start to learn that they didn't know their friend as well as they thought they did.

Flashbacks are interwoven into the timeline to give you a look into the best man's life, and there are two plotlines that come together halfway through the movie. I give it a thumbs up!

Anyone else watched Red Notice?

It entirely lives or dies on how much you like watching the Rock, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot do anything, because you're not coming for the plot (standard thief stuff, twists and turns you can see coming a mile away) or the special effects (surprisingly poor for something which allegedly cost $200 million).

surprised you'd watch
