Huh. Zack Snyder is currently in talks to make a Sucker Punch director’s cut, one that would restore it to his “super controversial,” R-rated ideal. -- (link) - decline Dec 14, 07:12 5
- Ahh splendid, so this will be rated NC-17 then? - Jovian Dec 14, 07:28
- I actually enjoyed Sucker Punch, but I viewed it as a long-form music video, and in that context it works. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 14, 07:18 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 14, 08:43
- That’s a mirror, Zach. -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 14, 07:16

Question: Knowing me as you do, do *I* want to see Dune: Part 1 (and then, Part 2)? I have never seen, nor read, any Dune. I know nothing. -- (edited) - Andie Dec 14, 06:58 16
- It's weird and gothic and mystic so take it as you will. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 07:17

  - or Ferguson or Butler for that matter. -- nm - Jovian Dec 14, 07:04 2
    - They purposely made Butler unattractive and I'm mad about it -- nm - Pippy aka Roberto C Fishman-Pratt Dec 14, 07:16 1

- I'm not sure it's worth a 4-hour+ investment -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 14, 06:59 4
  - this. It's very pretty but the pace is slow in the 1st movie -- nm - decline Dec 14, 07:00
  - nods. - Andie Dec 14, 06:59 2
    - Godfather 1 and 2 are a four hour plus investment as well. Id say this is worth it. - Jovian Dec 14, 07:01 1

  - so, by that logic, he will. -- nm - Andie Dec 14, 06:59
- Considering he libeled them again the other day, it’s safer to shut the f**k up. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 06:28
