Trailers not making it look too hot is it ?.

What's everyone's favourite Lynch film? After going through all the Twin Peaks we're gonna watch one of his fillems, haven't really seen any, at least in recent history...I quite fancy Dune but she wants to put Elephant Man on.

Looks like they've foregone all of the bold, original film-making that set the original apart and just gone for a by-the-numbers blockbuster. Christ, I can already smell the almighty dump Leto took after he chewed all the scenery

I think you know the answer already

I'm reserving judgement until I've seen it.

I wasn't expecting it to be a classic like the original, but the very least I'm expecting is a very good film.

They're all like that nowadays unfortunately...the new Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien, Ghostbusters, Terminator and all the rest...rehashing all these great ideas from the 80's to make glossy vapid fan-service with loads of tacky computer graphics and shallow characters that international audiences will understand.

Our culture has eaten itself.

*hoping the new IT is an exception...we're off to see it on Sunday night.

I would...in fact I think I did

Dune is such a genuinely great film. I had the pleasure of seeing it in cinema a while back for a David Lynch season they had going

Aye, I tried to be like that with Alien Covenant, but I'm quickly losing faith tbh. Would love if one of these films genuinely surprised me, but it hasn't happened yet.

Baby Driver. Again.

I love this film so very much.

That is all.

It's all about safety first and turning a profit, rather than pushing boundaries and being original, hence all the sequels and remakes.

Plus the likes of Netflix are spending more on quality dramas than some of the films cost to make

Yeah I get why it's happening, just still dismayed by the whole thing really. I had a little bit of hope for Denis Villeneuve after seeing Arrival, but I'm resigned to the fact that anything with a budget is going to be mauled to death by the studio and spit out. He's taking on Dune as well, god knows what sort of hatchet job they'll have to do on that story to render it digestable for mainstream audiences
