I WATCHED DUNE, I AM PRETTY SURE.

I FELL ASLEEP THREE TIMES, REWINDING FAITHFULLY AND ACCURATELY BUT NOW I WONDER, DID I MISS THE  GOOD PARTS?

I WILL PICK IT UP ON THE DVR AGAIN TO BE SURE.

THERE IS A GLARING FLAW IN THE ANDROGYNOUS SENSITIVO WIMP CAST IN THE STARRING ROLE.

DUNE HAS A VERY SPARSE PLOT. A NUMBER OF STUPID FIGHTS ARE TO DESIGNED TO PROVIDE DRAMA AND SUSPENSE BUT THEY DO NOT. 

I AM A FAN OF SCIENCE FICTION FILMS. THERE ARE FEATURES OF INNOVATION AND ELABORATE ALIEN TABLEAUX AND FUTURISTIC MACHINERY AND SPACECRAFT IN THE MOVIES I ENJOYED THE MOST.

So what was missing from DUNE? Maybe that is it, "So what?" Villeneuve relies on ominous science fictiony music with nothing happening that is of the genre, the scene could be from any kind of movie. The much touted as up for awards film did win a number of awards but not the important, am I right? Best Picture and Best Adaptation of a screenplay or a novel. 

Perhaps I, as an expatriate Montreal Quebec native son do not want to treat Villeneuve to the special French Canadian Handicap boosterism. 

BILL MAHER, HIS GOOD SHOW AND HIS VIEW OF THE WHAT? BEHIND THE 2022 SUPERBOWL HALF TIME SHOW. I POSTED ABOUT THE SUPERBOWL HALF TIME SHOW IN THE PRECEDING POST.

THE REALLY GOOD THING WHICH HAPPENS ON BILL MAHER IS THE INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE AND SOME, SOME OF THE GUEST'S INSIGHTS.

HERE IS AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION BY BILL MAHER: "THE NBC NETWORK WAS PROMOTING THEIR FAVORITE NEW SHOW BELAIR", A SUCCESSOR TO FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR WITH THE 90'S HOUSE PARTY. THE SUPERBOWL HALF TIME SHOW HAD BEEN TOUTED AS AN OVER- DUE RECOGNITION OF BLACK CULTURE.

I HAD A FEW OTHER VIEWS ABOUT THE SHOW AND THE ALLEGED "CULTURE" WHICH MIGHT BE  GENERATED BY MY REJECTION OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A COCAINE KLATCH. WAS NOT A PARTY IN 90'C BELAIR AWASH IN WHITE POWDER?
