It’s a great movie in so many aspects, Bulls covered. Pizza by the slice. Ticky. Sammy Sosa.

89 Road House is work. A study on diffusing difficult situations. Helping coworkers come together at work. Community outreach to defeat the tyranny of the rich.

I thought you were suggesting Gyllenhaal's iteration.
Does it matter?
That's up to you. 89 is classic and more representative of what I posted as work "study"
Jakes is just new heat.
Either is a fun choice for two hours.

The story itself isn’t that good.
So if you saw the OG and liked it you just might be more lenient on any remake.

Because I didn’t grasp Dune [1984], I ended up reading the plot on wiki after watching the movie. Since Dune Part One is basically a remake of that movie. Since I basically watched them back-to-back, what I read was very much on top of mind. I also think movies in that 40 year span, book to film adaptations have gotten significantly better at explaining things to people that never read the book so there’s that too. Acting just not being terrible was also a great improvement and those were my two biggest complaints about the original film.
This movie isn’t perfect by any means (I disliked the overuse of the dream sequences and how they were shot) but I think it’s a solid sci-fi movie. Gonna have to scheme a way to watch Part Two in the next week or so

I never thought about it but I heard someone say Lawrence of Arabia influenced Dune. Frail white boy helping the desert people attack the empire ruling over them.

Just not much interest.
I’d probably have to read the books and spend much longer than 3 hrs to be invested and even then I’m not sure given there are not many compelling characters.

Even if it was real, after Gran Turino or whatever it was , was so bad I'll never watch anything "new" dealing with breaking bad again. Hated that movie so much I didn't even watch Better Call Saul.

You should change that. Takes a few episodes to really start working but BCS is elite

I've tried with BCS a few times. I can't get past the first few episodes with his crazy brother and the tinfoil walls. I think I may just need to skip straight to season 2.

I would power through. It took me a couple tries. But the show builds onto itself and the first few episodes do actually matter down the line
