I must admit I normally switch off when the trailers come on as they reveal too much for my liking, but I cant even recall switching off whilst a Dune trailer was on.

It's supposed to be the next big thing. Having loved the book(s), I'm hoping the new film lives up to expectations.
The trailer for it was widely advertised to be shown at the Tenet release.

Ahh well, it'll probably be on YouTube soon.

Just been to watch Tenet. I think I enjoyed it. But if anyone tells you they fully understood what was going on all the time they are lying.
Can't agree enough with your last sentence. It's loud, very loud and mind blowingly confusing. Me after this film ????

I started to ask questions in the car on the way home and then quickly realised the futility of it.

The Bond trailer looked stunning, Black Widow sadly disappointing and Wonder Woman pretty decent.

Big Game. What on earth was Samuel Jackson thinking when he agreed to be in this!? A film full of visual and verbal clichés from start to finish. We watched it to the end purely out of fascination but we were looking at each other and laughing at how bad it was most of the time.

Not particularly, I lap up all that sci-fi nonsense. First book was the best but I loved them all. Not important in the circumstances, but I hated that it was poised on a cliffhanger for decades when Frank Herbert died after "Chapter House" was published.

The first book was definitely the best for me. I guess it's similar to a lot of series, the initial idea is the most original, and it goes downhill from there.

There are a couple of good videos out there mostly explaining it. I was desperately trying to concentrate as I had heard it was a bit of a mind bender. But watching the explanations I realised just how much I had missed.

Have to agree the first was the best, but like Kaz I love that stuff and enjoyed them all.

His son and Kevin Anderson have carried on the books using manuscripts left by his dad. I've not read them yet but will do one day.

Oh, and the film only covers half the book, it's a two parter apparently, which bodes well I think.

Watched Black Panther.after all the hype. Pony.
It was certainly one of the least good Marvel films. Not to speak ill of the dead now that the actor has passed on, but I never found T'Chala a very engaging character. He's quite boring. The best thing about that movie was Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger, I found myself rooting for him yet he was meant to be the bad guy.

The Accountant.

Autistic kid becomes genius accountant and martial arts expert. Does really hard sums and kills lots of bad guys.

One of the most bizarre films I've seen, but enjoyable tosh. Should be on the iplayer.

Peanut Butter Falcon.

Watched it last night, good script, mildy comedic bromance road (boat) movie, budding friendship of a runaway special needs guy and a drifter in trouble with the local goons who takes him under his wing.

7.5/10.

Fish Tank on Netflix is very good. A young girl living in poverty in the east end trying to find some escape through dancing. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s really dark and gritty.
