legion's new avitar

Yeah I know wars going on all over... the Olympics starting up... I hear there is some election thing going on in a few months.

But let us talk about something really important.

legion's new avatar.

It is freaking me out a little... I vaguely remember the guy in the new avatar but it just doesn't seem right for a gun toting conservative to to have some dude with a 70's hair cut for his avatar.


Well there you go... I have said my piece... carry on.

The sad thing is that this photo was all I could think of when I actually got to stand where this photo was taken. I kept wishing I'd come across this scene in person.

Dune movie = fail.
It missed on so many levels. Could have been really good but was boring, forced, terribly directed. What a stinker.

It didn't live up to the books, but it was still a fun watch.

Eventually someone will remake it properly.

All of the above, IMO.

The sounds guns were the worst.

The problem is the story has so many subtle undertones that it is hard to nail it in a movie. There are many, many subplots and many competing groups each with their own agenda trying to fight their allies and help their enemies.

Still...
