I think there should be a rule at this point an IP can only get one reboot every 15 years and it has to be won in a director competition because this is ridiculous! It feels surreal how many reboots and remakes they make and they are usually always for the worst.

So are you tired of them to?

    Dune was good? Hard disagree. Like, the FX were very nice and all, but I feel like we are past the point where good FX is a selling point. A movie like Dune needs good FX as a baseline.

    But the acting? The dialogue? The plot? All very mid. And that’s what makes a movie good. I didn’t feel like I was watching pivotal moments in the history of far-flung peoples with cultures very different from my own, which simultaneously displayed the great possibilities for diversity among humanity as well as the immutible laws all societies follow. I felt like I was watching a poorly written american teen romance with fancy costumes.
