Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that there are reasons to think that This new installment could be even more stimulating than the first.

Surprise! Steven Soderbergh's got a secret new film ready for Sundance called 'Presence' starring Lucy Liu, Julia Fox and more.

...And it's really good. It's only on Netflix, unfortunately, but if you're subscribed and have been after a sci-fi mystery to check out, I highly recommend it.

I've not watched it all yet (only to episode 3), so I'd prefer no spoilers (or keep them in spoiler tags), as so far it's been a delight.

I'd almost dismissed the show based off the sort of banner ads Netflix chose to run for it, until it finally showed some different image that caught my eye and got me to read the description. Turns out it's a kind of murder mystery amidst a society where humans and highly advanced robots are trying to coexist, but the murders are adding more strain to their already fraught relationship.

Btw for spoiler tags, you add them like so:

Note however that some Lemmy apps don't yet recognize them, e.g. Eternity, so be careful if you're dropping in here to discuss the show and don't want to be spoiled!

What would National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation look like if Clark and his family had to fight a bunch of killer elves? You can get a very, very close approximation in the new movie There’s Something in the Barn. It stars Martin Starr (Freaks and Geeks, Silicon Valley) as a happy-go-lucky father who moves his family to Norway only to find that an actual elf lives in their barn. The elf is cool with the family being there... until they start breaking his rules. Then all hell breaks loose.

synopsis :

Four siblings, Saleh (Rizky Fachrel), Fajar (Kiesha Alvaro), Tyas (Ratu Sofya), and Azizah (Nayla Purnama), have heard stories about heaven and hell since childhood. They were educated strictly by their father (Ariyo Wahab), a young ustad who was well respected in the village.

One night, on their way to the opposite village without their parents knowing, Saleh and his younger siblings were swept away by a strong river current and disappeared. Saleh then woke up in another realm, the hell that his father always talked about.

A search is carried out in the world to find the father's children, whether alive or dead. One by one the secrets are revealed, making the father and mother (Astri Nurdin) assess whether they have provided enough for their children. In hell, Saleh and the others also search for each other, while facing an increasingly large reflection of the sins they have been hiding.

As a new film spotlights her 60-year career, record-breaking film extra Jill Goldston discusses turning down Warren Beatty’s indecent proposal and hanging out with David Bowie

As a #Bowie fan my favorite part has to be

While filming the 1969 war comedy The Virgin Soldiers she struck up such a good rapport with a fellow extra that he remembered her when they met again, over a decade later, on the set of 1982 TV movie Baal. By this time that extra, David Bowie, had attained top billing. “He came over and said, ‘Weren’t you in Virgin Soldiers?’ We had supper together in the canteen and talked about mundane things.”
