This is a very good track. 😎

That’s right, the TV show has practically nothing to do with the books other than some character and place names and the general idea of a declining emprire and its emerging remote colony.

I decided to not watch the Foundation series because I was worried that the concept would be butchered. I watched Man in the High Castle (based on Philip K. Dick) with very high expectations. Dropped it after the first episode. The book was strange, dark and psychedelic. It was clear that the series was not made in the spirit of the book.

I guess its a good thing that I decided to skip the Foundation series.

For a second, I read that as remake of Fantastic Planet.

That would have been a plastic surgery disaster.

Good to hear. I might have to just go for it and start the novels, I will most probably end up watching the series anyways.

FWIW, the Lost World novel (on which the 2nd movie was based on) was solid. The movie was OK, but could have been much better.

One thing that bothers me about the Dune: Prophecy is that's is based on work by Brian Herbert.

As big fan of the Dune series, I was really excited when I found out there were more books written by by Herbert's son. But after reading one of them, I swore off on anything by Brain Herbert.

It was a competent novel, but the writing style and overall plot progression was bland and uninspired in comparison to the real Dune novels.

Gamers of a certain age might recognize this one.

That's the best time to watch body horror movies, when you're still impressionable and have a lucid imagination. 😀

This sounds exactly like my kind of movie. Not to mention it's being made by Bong Joon Ho, made one of favourite movies (across all genres); Memory of a Murder.

While his later movies are excellent (Okja, Snowpiercer, Parasite), Memories of a Murder benefits from a more indie vibe, a less polished presentation and a more eclectic style. Check it out if you liked his later movies (I would recommend watching it in Korean with subtitles).

I generally dislike musicals (with some exceptions like Dancer in the Dark and Moulin Rouge!), but the Back to the Future franchise seems like a bad fit for a musical.

More so than most franchises, Back to the Future feels very tied to the zeitgeist of its time (80s to early 90s).

Then again, they made Joker 2 a musical (I recently found out about this and had to double check that this wasn't a joke).

If you approach it as an unintentional parody, it can be fun.

Hell House LLC Origins is a return to form of sorts for the Hell House franchise. The first one was excellent, the second and third releases were mediocre. Origins adds a nice spin on the original Hell house formula.
