Preferable? Certainly, but you aren't getting $140m to make a movie with Vincent Cassel as the lead.

I should also note a lot of critics dismiss the movie as a 'white saviour' movie, alongside Dances With Wolves and others. Which is reductive nonsense but that's the nature of present-day movie punditry.

During the Meiji restoration the Japanese use of Western experts to modernise its military is historical fact. As is those experts fighting in internal struggles

Im probably more interested in reading the history around the Last Duel now than the actual film

Indeed. I never claimed the argument was credible. Alas it is widespread.

Big month for movies.

Also have Venom 2, Last Night in Soho and Dune.

Plus DC Fandome so potentially trailers for The Batman, Black Adam and The Flash featuring Michasl Keaton and Ben Affleck .

DC Fandome
Dune

Venom 2 <meh>

Shang chi 7/10

Some good action scenes considering it was a marvel film.

I can't be the only one who thought those dragon designs were stolen from Beyblade. Dragoon Vs Dranzer.

The more I see of Dune the less hopeful I am

Last Night In Soho looks okay

Venom 2 looks like the last one, which I hated

No I'm in Spain at the moment, I saw it in the cinema. Is it not out in England yet ?

Watched the many saints of Newark. It was ok but nothing special imo.

And I doubt boris would be let into Spain.

I have issues with the casting of Jason Momoa and Zendaya.

Zendaya is a good actor in what I have seen of her - mainly Euphoria.

Yes Momoa in a Villeneuve movie i didnt expect

She hot

Shes okay. It just feels very...teen-y. I've noticed how much younger casting has become over the years of cinema. Same thing with that Timothy fella. Who the hell would see someone of his diminutive stature as a leader?

I'm becoming disenchanted with a lot of stylistic choices in film lately.

Isn't the whole point of Dune that leadership is thrust upon you, rather than desired or claimed? I only read the book once about 10 years ago but that's what I remember from it - Chalamet has that sculpted princeling look too.
