Talkie Tuesday: Dune Part 2

 

"The Holy War begins."

 

Hello everyone!

 

DUN DUN DUN.

 

As the saying goes. Because look at the quote at the beginning of the page. Huh? HUH?

 

Yeah, we're headed there baby, and despite the fact we've been actively trying to avoid it since ... well, the start of this all.

 

But some things are apparently actually predestined, so here we are.

 

I'm just a tiny bit late when it comes to the release of this movie, but not TOO late, which is just as well so I can ride the tail end of some of this hype.

 

And there SHOULD be lots and lots of hype, because we're going to be concluding the story in a third one, as already confirmed, although I don't think they'll manage to cover all that Herbert covered in his Dune books to begin with.

 

Without further ado, let's jump right into Dune Part 2.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Spider-Man Far From Home

 

"Be ready for anything."

 

Hello everyone!

 

As stated and announced in my weekend post, this month and this Tuesday especially kick off the four week long Marvel catch-up, because ... well, because I haven't been on the ball with the MCU since Endgame.

 

I figured that I could at the very least give it a go since these things all connect to one another, somehow.

 

But of course that presents its own unique challenges along the way as you go, really.

 

See, there are a few movies in the Avengers lineup - what I call the MCU in my head anyway - that I really just can't be bothered with, no matter how hard the directors and cast may try to make their characters appealing.

 

And unfortunately, tonight's choice is one of them, as sad as that may sound.

 

I tried though! I tried my very best to like the movie and enjoy it for what it is, but it turns out that what it is, is ... well, not exactly my cup of tea, regardless.

 

Shake out those web-shooters, everyone. Spider-Man: Far From Home is where we start.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Smallfoot

"Smallfoot exists, suckas!"

Hello everyone!

After being thoroughly amused by watching The Rock serenade as Maui and his 'You're Welcome' song from Moana, I felt the need to go and watch another cartoon-style movie instead of an action flick or anything of the sort.

I'd heard about tonight's blog post theme before but never got to it.

Why?

Well, I kind of have to be in the mood, I suppose.

And then of course, I keep getting distracted during the week by the Turkish soap opera I watch, Siyah Beyaz Ask.

I know. First world problems!

But anyway.

Without further ado, let's put our warmest winter jackets on, because we're going up high in the mountains. We'll try to locate Smallfoot!

Talkie Tuesday: The Greatest Showman

"Everyone's got an act."

Hello everyone!

As stated above - we all have acts. Whether it's for our parents, for our friends, or for our co-workers, we tend to put on a different face and work our personality just a little so that we fit in better.

But what if you don't fit in?

What if, when all the odds are stacked against you, someone walks through the door to offer you a helping hand, and gives you something to actually look forward to?

This is a universal sort of theme that permeates tonight's movie of choice, but there's a whole plethora of others that just keep popping back up no matter how hard you may try to ignore them. That's what a good movie does, anyway.

If you haven't figured out just what I seem to be talking about, you might be living under a rock, friend.

It's time for The Greatest Showman.
