Trust me, this Dune movie has a lot of nerds on pins and needles hoping it’s not fucked up...including me.

They got it right this time.

SIDEBAR: The actor that plays Paul is an unknown to me, I watched the movie “The King” (on Netflix now)...great movie, and he did a great job.

EDIT: Forgot to add the trailer.

Yeah, I really liked him. The movie was pretty solid.

He's gone a long way since playing that brat on Homeland.

Pretty awesome comparison

Holy. Shit. Everyone on here needs to go watch this right now. It’s terrifying and mind blowing and absolutely earth shattering.

That trailer is enough to worry me.

Dude. I’m serious. I had to sit in the quiet for a bit after.

I was going to watch it but this comment gives me pause. Too many heavy days. I think I'll hold off a bit for something lighter.

Some Starship Troopers is what I'm rolling with right now.

The trailer is just meh.. delving into adtech and probably pushes more into what the cambridge analytica touched upon. I'll put in on my list though

 

[Blizzard]

I don't know a thing about Dune, never saw the original, and even that trailer looks bad ass.

LOL. Me neither. Except..and I'm ready for the belt-fed hate machine to light me up here...but that trailer just doesn't do anything for me; guess maybe it's not my genre.

OK, I'm going to run now.

I think you should watch. It far surpasses CA. And the authors of the AI system and algorithms are explored in depth. If you think fake news is an issue? Watch.

It's almost as if they thought they were creating something for the good of the people and then they lost control of their monster.

Or, if you prefer from my man Virgil, author of a quote in my signature: Facilis descensus averno (The descent to hell is easy).

To continue the Virgil, Aeneas answered "Hoc Opus, hic labor est" (This is our great work, this is our task) - going back from the underworld.

Haven't seen this posted yet....looks pretty good. I heard it's based on a TRUE story......

.

Just rewatched The Old Guard....they set it up nicely for a Second Movie. I think I missed that somehow at the end the first time.

I'm 45 minutes into this and it is...It confirms things I already expected, but makes them worse. Stanford knowingly running a class on how to use tech to influence a person's psychology...essentially to create legal drug addicts? The increase in self-inflicted harm caused by teens and pre-teens alongside social media use?

Holy shit...

That documentary really changed my viewpoint on social media as a whole. Worth watching multiple times.
