Brilliant film.

Andrew Scott was unbelievable in it.

For anyone who lost a parent well before their time, just FYI it's gonna hit hard.

When I first saw it, I thought it was really good, but it was only in the days after seeing it that I found myself thinking about it more and more, and the better it became. I've found that some of the best films tend to work like that. It's a really haunting film.

I absolutely loved the first one. The second one hits different, and I remember thinking that 'this is what it must've been like watching The Empire Strikes Back' after you've only seen the first Star Wars.

The tone, cinematography and sound have the same vibes as the first, but I think the baseline creative design and approach to the whole Dune Universe established in the first film landed so well with the novelty factor. This one is more complex and trippy but is definitely a slow burner.

Overall, I was intensely invested in it from start to finish, even though a lot of it was slow. That really paid off with what were some legitimately brilliant sequences, and the development of Paul's character was great.

Beltin'. Properly crafted, period political biography with echoes of Goodfellas and oddly enough Assassination of Jesse James. Really well made, with scenes given time to build and breathe, strong writing and an incredibly impressive cast across the board but clear shouts for LaKeith Stanfield as the impossibly compromised Bill O'Neal and a stunning turn from Daniel Kaluuya as Fred Hampton - the lads coming on like a 21st century De Niro at this point.

Soundtrack is unsurprisingly off the scale.

Netflix. Be quick though.

This looks good! I realize this film is about Fred Hampton but a strange anecdote about the Black Panthers is that Huey Newton (founder of the Black Panthers) wrote an interesting analysis with a famous evolutionary biologist (Robert Trivers) about self-deception and crash of flight 90 in a popular science magazine. It is an intriguing article. (@SerenityNigh I know you are interested in flying...have you seen this?)
