Well, I finally watched Blade Runner 2049. Perfection. Even better than the original in many ways. One of the few films I've seen in many years that I now wish I'd seen in the theater.
I also loved Arrival. If Villeneuve manages a hat-trick with his Dune…
In fact, I think Villeneuve might be the only director working today, maybe ever, who can really do justice to Dune. And I say that as someone who likes Lynch's Dune; it came close, but it was still very much a product of the '80s.
Damn.

…supposedly as a nod to the fact that Alejandro Jodorowsky wanted Pink Floyd to score his planned-but-ultimately-abandoned adaptation of Dune, back in the mid '70s.
After the disappointment of The New Mutants (and the rest of this year, frankly), I need this to be good.
