Favorite remark I’ve seen, not even lying, over a dozen times: Anya is giving biblically accurate Angel

Noticing that there are a lot of Dune fans, a lot, whose reported age on Xitter set them at about 15 to 17 when the first Villeneuve movie came out, bringing things full circle in how that was the age Denis, many in the cast, most OG Dune fans first read the book.

It's wise to stop Dune at Messiah, but other than Sandworm Juche in God Emperor, there are other fun things like the Fish Speakers, the Honored Matres whom I saw called Sex Ninjas today and that's about right, and don't forget Space Jews.

Morgan Freeman narrating the history of the dinosaurs is great. Nothing complicated about it.

Best vibes online since dune two was out

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

It's actually kinda funny that two of Tarkovsky's films, two recognized as the better of his works, were Science Fiction films, mostly made out of animus for 2001 A Space Odyssey. I say this also thinking how he would have made God Emperor of Dune into one of the best films ever made.

Never thought I'd be so happy to see a Stage Two Guild Navigator

Now Iran knows where to position all their forces. Amazing strategy by Golden Don.

The historical antecedent for this was all the Asia experts who lost their jobs to McCarthyism for telling the truth about Chiang Kai Shek's nationalists being unpopular, incompetent, and cruel, so were not around to advise as America slid into Vietnam. newrepublic.com/post/207857/...

Here's what Edric looked like in the Children of Dune mini-series on the SciFi Channel (now Syfy). The CGI was bad even for the time, but I mean they were skimping by filming it all in the Czech Republic, even casting it there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVIZ...

Americans might want to consider that it’s bad faith all the way down, that maybe, just maybe, this “special” relationship isn’t worth it

Incredible. I'm already in awe at the design here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_9v...

this is probably the worst I've heard him sound in a while

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Nina getting her brains blown out in a Soviet prison basement is maybe the bleakest thing in TV history and I hate it every time I see it

People on here are simultaneously too nice and too nasty. Your niceness in shoehorning your existence into a disagreement with someone else like a dog presenting their belly is unadvisable. Also going ballistic on someone over a tiny difference because you’re too scared to fight righties is as well.

Well, that ain’t good

The Venezuela model may be applicable to Cuba, but not Iran. Iranian Twelver Shi'ism, melded with Iranian nationalism, is infinitely more potent even with a corrupt and stupid regime clinging to the commanding heights than decrepit materialist fossils who fail to inspire true faith in their people.

Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia Atreides and Robert Pattinson as the Bene Tleilax Scytale. Herbert wrote Alia to be an empress in blood who inspires pure gelassenheit in her Fremen cultists. I’ve known nothing so clear as Anya being perfect for this.

Liberal Zionists have no counterargument to Christian Nationalism. If Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state their only counter to America being a white Christian state is hand waving and word salad. They're today an electoral liability to Democrats if pressed on this stuff.

A new study finds that texting a random stranger is probably better to mitigate loneliness than talking to an AI-powered chatbot www.404media.co/chatgpt-lone...

Trump bullies Mike Johnson into revealing that a sitting Republican congressman received a "terminal" medical diagnosis. Trump: "He would be dead by June." Johnson: "Ok, that wasn't public." All while joking about deaths reducing the Republican House majority and bragging about medical contacts.

Obama started the war with Iran by graduating college in 1979?

This is dope.

George C. Scott famously skipped the '71 Oscars, where he won Best Actor for Patton, instead watching a hockey game at home. What's not said is the game he watched: it was likely the April 15th NYR vs. TOR game 7 quarterfinal that went to OT. I'd skip the Oscars for a game 7 ...

Reading Hyperion for my new book club and there’s a fun dynamic where it’s obviously a fantastic novel, classic even, but the author Dan Simmons pumped out a lot of reviled trash, and progressively lost his mind as a Boomer glued to right wing media. Yet many lefties & liberals see past that.

Calling in a Greyhawk 10 here, folks. No matter how many noise triggers you’re spouting off about the best picture winner tonight, we can all agree that the true winner was Comrade Josh. Life!

Sinners needed a better ending imo. Not to win the Oscar who gives a fuck about that, just for its own sake. Shooting the klansmen should have been synced into the main plot, and some threads should have been stronger and ended bigger.

This is still the greatest movie related moment of 2025 for me

please enjoy

Weak year. Dune Three will clean house next year.

Okay changing out Conan Host for Life for MrBeast Host for Life was funny

I knew Jessie Buckley was destined for this moment when I first saw her as Marya Balkonskaya in War & Peace. She emanates goodness from her soul.

Jessie Buckley Supremacy

There’s some justice. Michael B Jordan.

Gotta make time for RDJr to be embarrassed that he forgot to give Evans a gift

lol they’re playing people off viciously this year

I consider myself a strong man except when it comes to dark haired Nordic women who have proven they can play me like a marionette

Every bit is complete torture. I can’t endure this shit much longer.

Shoulda been Stellan or Benicio for that one. Penn did a fun performance but it was way too hammy.

Heavens to Betsy

Wait a minute you can tie at the Oscars?? Only for the podunk categories, right?

This is one of the best categories the Academy could possibly have. Casting directors have to read actors as humans better than an intelligence analyst, better than the actors themselves.
