Next week watching Dune II
Very looking forward
I recently watched part I again with my wife to introduce her to the story, because i will take her to the cinema for part II.
When i was 14, i read the book, before i read the remaining ones and also bought the enceclopedia (parts 1 and 2). It was a no-brainer to rent and copy the first movie on VHS, the one by David Lynch, an i also became quite a fan of him afterwards.
In Part 1 (2022) they did everything right. Not too much effects, awesome score, the space created by slowness, lighting and minimalism. The only thing i didn't like was the lack of building tension, which might be only me, because i already knew the story in and out.
Too bad that Frank Herbert doesn't have a chance to watch and comment on it, or even take part in its production.
And not seen the old version
You won't miss anything, but for the old times, it was brilliant. The new version is remarkably authentic, as was the old one (AFAIR), when you don't look too much at details that were omitted to simplify the story and ease the flow.
Bitcoin
BTC is now the 5th largest currency in the world.
A quarter of the Yen's MC, and when it is passed, it's only a small step for Bitcoin but a giant leap for mankind.
