I'm reading Tolstoy because all my friends were reading Dostoevsky last year. Wanted to be different lol. But I did read White Nights last year and it probably contains the most accurate portrayal of unrequited love ever
Haven't read but Visconti's 1957 film based on it is quite good.

Godspeed with War and Peace. I read it in high school, still hasn't worked up the desire to do it again 15 years later. Now Crime and Punishment though, that was my shit.

Haven't read his novels but I liked the Men Without Women short story collection a lot.

Everyone forgets the box office curse would never allow dune to end in the 200Ms. Either it ends up high 100s like JW4 and goes on a crazy run to over 300M like Oppenheimer. There is no in-between.
The range you're talking about is 225-300 (pedantically 225-298), not 200-300.

*glares in Jeremy Brett*
(mind I haven't seen those, so I can't really comment — but I can never pass up the opportunity to plug Brett Holmes)
It's fair, I haven't seen the Brett Holmes (I should). But the Soviet Holmes is legit! It's all on YT with solid English subs if you're curious.

This reminds me of how the best take on Hamlet is meant to be the 1964 Soviet one, and the best take on Treasure Island is meant to be the Soviet cartoon. Maybe I'll triple feature them some day
and the best take on Sherlock Holmes is the 1979-86 series of Soviet TV movies.

Unrelated to Dune, but now that I'm working now and no longer in school, I have more time on my hands in my non-work hours, and have been trying to catch up on (good) movies from the 80s-90s-00s that I've never seen (so if any of you have recommendations, send them my way!)

Just realized Marion Cotillard hasn't had an on-screen appearance in a Hollywood film for 8 years now (only a voice role in Dolittle since). I really thought she was in more recent Hollywood stuff but I guess it's just because I saw her in Annette a few years back (which is is entirely in English but is a French production)
There was nowhere to go after this @MrPink

Roger Ebert’s Review: ""Dead Poets Society" is a collection of pious platitudes masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something: doing your own thing, I think. It's about an inspirational, unconventional English teacher and his students at "the best prep school in America" and how he challenges them to question conventional views by such techniques as standing on their desks. It is, of course, inevitable that the brilliant teacher will eventually be fired from the school, and when his students stood on their desks to protest his dismissal, I was so moved, I wanted to throw up."
bwahahaha go off king.

Another film that only I voted for, this one I saw specifically for this list. It looked interesting enough from the description, but I was still surprised about how much I loved this. Also a 90's film that feels more topical than ever.
It's a fantastic movie, and I miss this Alexander Payne. I'd have voted for it but I excluded the output of Miramax and 20th Century.

The Alana return + a Support the Girls reunion
QuotePaul Thomas Anderson has rounded out the cast of his latest feature. Alana Haim, who made her acting debut in Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and A Thousand and One break-out Teyana Taylor have been added to the cast, along with Wood Harris and Shayna McHayle.
Newcomer Chase Infiniti has also joined the untitled feature, which is currently in production and, as previously announced, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps.

Incredible to see grown adults ranting for two days straight about the shame, the infamy, the dishonor of not handing enough Oscar nominations to the fucking Barbie movie. People used to be cool once, man.

Has there been another movie starting on Christmas day with worse drops?
I've understood the movie Ali has big drops, but these weren't so bad as TCP.
AVP Requiem had the previous worst multi at 4.4x.

It's the difference between using AI to augment a visual effect and using it to literally generate an image that the creators could have tossed a few bucks to any artist to design, with the benefit of it not looking like AI vomit.
