'Help'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
(Going way back because apparently you asked me a question a month ago and I ignored you like an asshole? Sorry!)
How far through the book does the movie get?
Dune 1 ends with Paul and Jessica going with Stilgar to Sietch Tabr after the fight with Jamis.
That is most excellent news about Matrix. I have a serious love of the first one and didn't want to risk damage to my affections.
If you are a fan of the first one but not the sequels then Resurrections is probably not for you. Which is okay because it's for me and I will love it enough for all of us.
I really loved them all! But the first one is my greatest love. Just a big ole Matrix fangirl.
I’m glad to have that preparation, Jess. And I’m happy for you!
Ok, watched Matrix Resurrections today and it was awesome! For context, I did not love 2&3, but this one totally worked for me.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. We had rewatched the trilogy a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't quite sure where they would take it but both the new directions and the meta really worked for me (even though I'd get very confused when I thought about the tech or world-building too much).
I started thinking of it like Narnia, sort of. Like a portal fantasy, I guess? Hard to let go of that cyberpunk sheen that was so exciting about the first one, but made me feel better.
Ooooh. Sounds like it's imaginary Gene Kelly, which is even better! Holland as Astaire is making me very happy.
