Movies in the last few years have really been mediocre at best. Really feels like they are just phoning it in at this point. 

 The two new Dune movies are worth watching, really faithful to the original text, and slick 

 I just watched Heat. Does anyone want to talk about it? 

 Recent movies I saw:

Spaceman (2024): quant sci-fi, I liked it. Very non-blockbuster. Don't watch the trailer, my guess is going in blind will improve it. Unless you have severe arachnophobia.

Dune 2: Visuals are impressive but I found it sometimes difficult to follow the motivations of people. Switched to reading the books for now.

Wicked Little Letters: Mostly true story about a 1920s small British town getting rocked by foul-mouthed letters. Enjoyable light entertainment.

Perfect Days:  Mesmerizing movie about a public toilet cleaner in Tokio, trying to find beauty in everyday things. One of the slowest movies I ever watched, but loved it. 

 non recent movies I like: incendies, parasite, gone girl. recent movie I watched: Saltburn 😊 

 Parasite: I second this recommendation. it's an instant classic for me. A combination of humor, violence, and class commentary.

Dune 1 & 2: Release yourself from the worries of logical plot holes and enter the beautiful world of Dune, give in to the spice.

Interstellar: Great time bending sci-fi.

Pig: Nic Cage and a truffle pig, and it's so good.
