First of all, I am sad that Arsenal lost. At least we are in second place, for now. But I doubt that the Team That Rhymes With City will drop more points than us, which means that the odds are, we will either stay in second or more likely, finish in third place.
The kids are continuing to revise, my daughter has two tests tomorrow, not her A Levels, but tests to get her stressed anyway.
And onto Dune: Part Two. I think that the first film was better. While I do not think that this was a masterpiece, it was a film which hit the right balance of amazing scenery, good effects, and retained decent writing, acting and directing. I guess my main issues come from the plot. Arrakis is a planet devoid of water, but can host a huge army. The suits that were worn in the film would not recycle the sweat that should have been on the faces of the characters (but also was absent). And the story had another hole in that a captured Fremen would break under torture and the bases would be found.
But those issues relate to the original book. If you liked the first film, the odds are you will like this, but I doubt anyone who is not interested in science fiction will like it.
