- Its the same language as is coming out of the White House. It’s called coordinated messaging. - znufrii Oct 28, 08:26 1

Repost from last night: Never read the book, but just saw Dune in IMAX: A+. I cannot understate how much I loved this movie. High on the all time list -- nm - MDH Oct 28, 06:52 16
- Yup. It was fantastic. -- nm - Jovian Oct 28, 08:01 2
  - ohhh. and you never read the book?? You should pick that up and see exactly how faithful this adaptation was. - Jovian Oct 28, 08:05 1
    - I had planned to re-read after seeing the movie but it seemed so spot-on I decided *not* to read so I can enjoy rediscovering via the film again. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:23
- Wish I felt the same way. I kind of hated it. -- nm - pmb Oct 28, 07:07 9
  - I really enjoyed it for an hour and 15, went to the bathroom, came back and wondered where my movie went. - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 07:55
  - While I didn't hate it, everything was just too slow and dull. Even the fight scenes felt like they were at half speed. - Inigo Oct 28, 07:17 4
    - If you mean slow enough that you can actually see what is going on, then you are sort of right. Much of that was due to better camera work than we - Spawn Oct 28, 08:25
    - I thought the same but he actually has some vocal range in The French Dispatch. -- nm - LMS Oct 28, 07:52

    - I'd rather stick needles in my eyes. -- nm - Garrett Breedlove Oct 28, 07:20
- this makes me very happy. I'm glad you enjoyed it and you're only the 2nd A+ (after me) around here, where we've seen some absurd grades -- nm - mud Oct 28, 06:55 1
  - My "A" was absurd! - Spawn Oct 28, 07:58
- If you watch it on HBOMax or anything not a huge theater with amazing sound, you've made a big mistake. -- nm - MDH Oct 28, 06:52

      - I think the bipartisan infrastructure bill addresses public transportation. -- nm - pmb Oct 28, 07:53
- Guessing that extending the expanded dependent care tax credit didn’t make the cut? -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 28, 07:10 7
  - Isn't it the fourth bullet point? "Extend for one year the current expanded Child Tax Credit" -- nm - marum scarum Oct 28, 07:36 5
    - What spamlet said. I suppose it might be a piece of the overall limitation on child care costs, but the way it’s written makes it sound like they came - znufrii Oct 28, 08:02
    - That’s different from the dependent care credit. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 07:40 3
      - Oh, right, thanks. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 28, 07:43 2

We're 8 weeks into the NFL season, and the only one of the 5 first-round QBs who looks like an NFL starter is Mac Jones. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 28, 06:30 6
- I would have guessed because the teams they play on aren't filled with talent and they're rookies. Most suck in their first year. - Krusty Oct 28, 06:35 4
  - Recently, rookie QBs have done way better than what Wilson, Fields and Lawrence are showing. Lance gets a pass since he's only at one start. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 28, 06:44 3
    - Every situation is different with what some of those QB's had/have around them. I have a hard time judging QB's in the first year. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 28, 06:52 2
      - Like I said in the original post, I do think rookie need time to develop. Unfortunately, NFL teams just aren't patient anymore... -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 28, 07:02 1
        
        Aaron Rodgers sat for 3 years! Imagine that now. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 08:03
