Dune was amazing! I’m amazed at how closely it stuck to the book and the tweaks it did make seemed appropriate. It was beautifully shot and the music was incredible. The production design is next level. Definitely going to watch it again.

Disappointing, if not surprising, news re: Toyota’s anti-electric vehicle lobbying. In our most recent move we purchased a home/property with a lot of heavier duty projects and decided we needed a truck.

Loved Luca. Wonderful movie with real Ted Lasso energy + Italy + food + cycling. I’ll take movies like this over another Toy Story sequel any day of the week.
I remember when I was growing up I felt like my dad controlling the car radio was intentionally trying to torment me. Now that I’m in his seat, I realize I was totally right. 😈
