I can't give you the Venom or Dune points. I agree what you're saying is important. And I believe in showing, not telling. REGARDLESS, I still like both movies, and I think they're both solid, good stories. Particularly speaking of Dune, Denis Villeneuve is one of the best when it comes to immersion, setting you up intricately, so your mind meets the beat of the film. We can't complain about wanting originality and innovative films, if we continuously completely discard any attempt at making them. We'd more than likely have a fully finished Blade Runner trilogy by now, if we as an audience didn't want everything cut, dry and simple. Not every film has to work the same. And I honestly didn't mind taking so long to know Eddie's character. I think the stretched intro is worth every minute, because you really get to know Eddie and his nature perfectly

Hannah Gadsby is one of those folks whose friends said to her "you're funny. You should do stand-up." She also had a lot of friends who were liars, as they hated hurting anyone's feelies. Too many comedians have a lot of friends who are liars.

[@bakerfresh]

That got me to laugh a little.....and then a lot. It's true. That's where the woke works great for the small community, but not at large. They laugh to support and because they HAVE to laugh and support. They cancel because they are told who to NOT laugh at. And want confirmation. Logically I don't think anyone could laugh that consistently and perfectly with her timing on things that are just sentences and not even jokes or humor. But then I read comments of how great and funny and how they laughed and cried. I think its mostly grandstanding, but I can easily see them going to that extent to sell it to themselves. And...if that's you. Great. But understand as you disagree, others should be able to as well. And that should be that. Think of how crappy society is and especially will be with you being controlled to laugh and not laugh. To losing your job, to going to prison 9r being executed. And these types lap that stuff up. Canceling. Wishing death. All in the name of righteousness. While most of their informed opinions are based on lies. But they must believe anything said, because not doing so means you are one of them. I almost want to start practicing sniffing my own facts to get used to being forced to live underground. Like a nukular war with no bombs, just their comedy routines and their loudspeakers. As you wait for the Religiously Foreshadowed Solar Flare to rise out from the ashes.
