  1. It looks like Dune: Messiah will be made. I am probably going to read the books, now. I don't care for 1-1 adaptions for books and movies, as long as the changes enhance the film. The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, and Jurassic Park are all different than their books- but the screenplays were written to service the story in a way that would translate well on- screen. It is probably very hard to do, and usually people lament a film adaption not being exactly like a book, but I understand why they are often different. They seem to be terrible most of the time, but when they work, they work. I'd put Dune up there with those other behemoth films mentioned above. It is a visual spectacle with a rich world, great sound design, and an interesting and complex story. Some of my thoughts, All that being said, I am totally hoping for Denis Villeneuve to adapt more of the Dune books. A part of me hope he doesn't just become "The Dune guy", like James Cameron is now just "The Avatar Guy", but I would love at least the next book to be adapted if it has a standalone ending. I haven't read them, and I hear they get weird as fuck, but I believe he can make it work on the big screen. I hear Dune: Messiah is close to being green- lit. If it doesn't happen, Dune 1 and 2 stand on their own. If it does happen, I am more than down to see the consequences of the galactic war on- screen. I just hate when something gets made without the ending greenlit and then you are stuck without the entire thing. I didn't see the first part in theaters, and I regret it. I wanted to, and it was during all the weird COVID shit from what I remember. Seeing Part 2 in theaters makes up for it. Awesome movie that enhances part 1. As a whole, they stand as one of the best sci- fi movies ever made imo. What a weird fucking world Frank Herbert created. Super creative and I am here for it. If shit gets bonkers in his later books, that works for me. Hope he lived to complete his main story, I know his kid wrote a bunch after he died. @rocknroll41, I am going to consider reading the books and then I will check out the mini- series with James McAvoy. He is another actor I really like.
  2. Anyone see Dune: Part 2? I never read the books, so I am just familiar with the films. I rented Part 1 and liked it enough but felt like it did not feel like a comlete film. Well, it wasn't because Part 2 has all the meat, and it is fucking awesome. I think part 2 enhances part 1 and vice versa. The first movie gets you up- to- speed with the lore, factions, and universe while Part 2 has a lot of the crazier story elements. Really great stuff. What a great director.
  3. That sucks, but at least that is the easiest record to replace
  4. Good, man! Got engaged, last year and have seen GNR a few more times since you’ve last been around Also started a Zeppelin record collection which has been a huge money pit. how are you?
  5. Nothing beats the old era from a performance standpoint. I was born in 91, so 2010 onwards is what I get. Wish I went in 2006, though
  6. I do wish the tour was in smaller venues, but I get why it is the way it is. The theater my show is at seats 5,000 at a casino. A club in Detroit or a small ampitheater would have been better. Oh well, it is a small critique!
  7. I do hope he has an acoustic song on this record. If the timestamps on the wikipedia page are to be trusted, I am really fired up. Lots of long songs which will no doubt have some great blues jams
  8. ^ The General (and Absurd) are like if you asked an AI to make GNR songs with the least commercial appeal. What, the school bell in Hard Skool wasn't fun enough for you?
  9. These guys are local to where I live. I'm assuming you heard about what happened to them? Keyboard is a sicko
  10. I dig it. It is pretty heavy for him. I am sure it was influenced by the current events in Niger.
  11. Slash tickets acquired. Will get my Mdou Moctar tickets soon, too. Last year was packed for shows, but it looks like this year will be a quieter gig year. I'm pretty pumped for Sting in a small theater, the Slash blues festival, and Mdou Moctar, though. Those are three high- impact shows for me.
