M Denis Villeneuve had best be working on Dune Part Two, or I shall hunt him down, remove his liver with my bare hands, and offer it to the Morrigan.
And yes, Part One was an enormous improvement over David Lynch’s effort, although I might had chosen differently for the role of Lady Jessica. But by and large, c’est incroyable!

So you’re giving it your mark of approval?

I’m 90% sure he is already.

I am, actually! I read the books initially a very long time ago, and they stayed with me. I’ve reread them periodically, and I was SO excited when David Lynch was making the movie back in the early 80s. My brother and I were at the theater to see it the first week, I think, wide-eyed and breathless, but while the special effects were (for the time) amazing, and the film was gorgeous to look at, there was no passion. None. The best part of the movie was Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Leto Atreides, and perhaps Sir Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck. But the entirety of the first book is too vast to be covered in one movie, even if you were to show it as a three hour film. Denis Villeneuve left us on a cliffhanger, but he chose a perfect breaking point and I have high hopes that Part Two will be as wonderfully done.

Eureka! I have a car again! Picked it up tonight, and I am utterly delighted with my gently used Jeep.

Yay ! Brava ! Congrats on the Jeep find !

Congratulations, love!
so happy for you. Our wee one still insists that you need to do a funeral for the old Jeep, though. I’m trying to tell him that a Buddhist cremation might not be the best idea…

Put this old jeep on a wooden raft, set it ablaze as it drifts out across the water! (Evening is likely the best time to do this.) Maybe even some celebratory fireworks?

So, just when I think things are settling down, and life is beginning to approach normal once more, my car decides to die. This is not simply a case of spending a week with its favorite mechanic. Oh, no. This is a case of the computer no longer talking to any of its sensors, resulting in a very large paperweight that looks quite a bit like a Jeep.
The daft one and I are going car shopping tomorrow. Hide the whiskey...- Show previous comments 9 more

Seriously, it’s looking better and better. Everything I wanted to look at was gone, except for one car, which didn’t have a roof rack and smelled like something had died in it. With under 9,000 miles, it should NOT smell that bad unless the previous owner was a sweet little old serial killer who only dismembered victims on Sunday, after church services were ended… Yeah, I’ll pass on the dead person special.

Only a hearse should have dead-people smell! (That’s the ticket, buy a hearse, cause I heard they’re a hoot to park outside the emergency at the local hospital.)
