I didn't even think about that ha ha

Happy to see there are many of us!

The potential issue people have with it is indeed the violence, but if it's okay with you it should be fine. Feel free to post a review once you've watched it.

You should probably watch the first 15 minutes of it and see if it works for you. I'm not a big Kubrick fan, and I know it wasn't for me, but it's a kind of unique movie for sure.

Thanks for sharing. Always a bit skeptical with Luxembourg as half of the workforce crosses the border every day, but otherwise nice metrics.

basically I did a 10 minute overview of all the factions and their goals, with pictures of key people and everything 😅).

Seems like a very nice way to get into the Dune universe! I still haven't watched the movie myself, nor read the book, but that's on my (long) to-do list

Especially with a kids' party to manage!

Very good reminder

Yes, and their Tumblr is in the body of the post. I'll contact during the week.

Well, I just created one (pinged you there), we'll see if other people want to discuss it. Hopefully there will be someone, even if at some point in the future.

A24 can be hit or miss

Which of their movies were you disappointed with?

From our member @scytale@lemm.ee

Watched “Past Lives” last night. Good movie. I like how they accurately depicted the different eras (90s, 2000s, and present). As an immigrant myself, I can definitely relate with some of the aspects of uprooting your life and making a new one in a foreign country and not knowing anyone. I guess I haven’t been away long enough to feel losing my cultural identity yet, but I do understand how some people may feel that way. That scene with the 3 leads together was definitely awkward lol.

Great ending as well and I like how they kept it less than 2 hours. Films like this shouldn’t be overly long. I feel like “Monster” is still a better film though and wish it was acknowledged more especially in the awards shows. I get that it wasn’t marketed to western audiences as much as Past Lives (being A24), but it definitely deserves the same amount of exposure.
