Yup same c:

aw thank youuuu 🥹

yes dooo it! I want to read more foreign authors to be honest, it's really interesting seeing these different cultural impacts on the human experience.

I think that's why I was disappointed -- the potential of that theme was inspiring, but the execution was just meh.

hello :)

I'm really grateful you are sharing this perspective. sometimes i have really high standards for this genre because dystopian is my favorite so i have a specific thing I am looking for which can make me a bit closed off to seeing the full value of it. <3

I did so i can focus the other one one the topic that most of my subs are for, this is for my own sanity and my viewers sanity heheh

i know i had not read those yettttt

what do you think is most intimidating about the book? I will be rereading it next year again for sure. I want to take more time with it.

dang -- i read your original comment, but hadn't had time to reply to it all -- i might just want to read all his stuff LOL That's cool you are getting back into him -- I really love a person who can understand people and represent them as well as Dostoyevsky can!

hehe i think you'd like him. Though his views on morality are a liiiittle shifty lol

ooooh dang -- that's a tough one I'm gonna have to think about that. I really think Gone Girl is up there -- like that adaptation was so good at capturing the essence of the book, but let me think because i'm not sure that's my final answer lol

omg did I not say the name?! :o it's Hell on Wheels

oh my friend, i barely mentioned the types, i just called it out as on my main channel, that is my primary topic and on this channel, 90% of my subs came from that channel. I'm sorry you felt like it was too much

James Gandolfini <3

I honestly do want to read the book -- i've watched all the seasons available, we can deeeefinitely discuss it lolol I have a discord more focused on my primary channel, but you are free to join! discord.gg/uGQBh3UKJd

Thanks for the reminder on the "I can't lie". I have always had an issue in my essays where I say stuff like that (more like "I believe that" or stuff like that, but the concept is the same.

Thats what I was told but i've yet to figure it out lol

yeah it's true-- he really is the vehicle. Its hard to be too upset with a classic scii writer when it comes to characters

i think my favorite three characters are: Yueh Kynes Stilgar Maybe not in that order, but they were the ones I was always most fascinated to read about! What about you?

@@HeartofMichii Duncan Idaho, Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, and Lady Jessica. Sorry for the late response.

oh that I can doooo I watch mostly scifi lolol The atmosphere of Dune really was just awesome!

The thing I really liked about Foundation was just how much was going on and how interesting the world building was. It was also short and to the point. I'd have loved more from characters, but I loved it regardless. Though, in many ways, Dune pulls more influence from Fantasy than other scifi of its time. You could probably even call it SciFantasy

Well, it is very spicy!

😂😂😂

honestly, the Return of the King was my least favorite because there was just sooo much in terms of fight scenes. And I really disliked the hobbit adaptation because it did the same thing. Endless battles, minimal story. It's hard to get through stuff like that. I do have contacts! I try them sometimes. I don't always wear them because they are not super comfortable (I have astigmatism, so if they rotate, it's impossible to see), but I've been testing the waters. First time I ever wore contacts was in June of this year!

​@@HeartofMichii Nice. I remember you bringing up getting contacts, but I also remember you had early videos where you didn't wear your glasses so maybe you were just mixing things up. I might be there with you on Return of the King. I tried watching it again recently, and those fight scenes were difficult to maintain interest. My favorite fight in the Return of the King was the Faramir fight where it's juxtaposed with Denethor. The fight might be less than a minute, but the pacing of character work and action was perfect. With the Fellowship of the Ring, I thought we already got a handle on the characters abilities and being competent fighters and their various skills, so, I was bored in the later movies. The Two Towers had the well paced Gandalf vs Balrog fight and the Warg riders fight. Although, I didn't care for the silliness in that fight with Gimli. The creators are swimming upstream with Tolkein's work for the general audience, so I understand the implementation of the silly humor similar to how movies need to get the best looking men to bring in women with their boyfriends into the theater. I don't know if it's a more recent trend since Gone with the Wind was one of the highest grossing movies. If the movies were more like Tolkein's work, they probably couldn't have been made so I'm grateful for the amazing scenes, but as overall films, I did not enjoy Two Towers or Return of the King as much as the first one. But they're not like the MCU movies where those were like watching a toy commercial (I thought the first Iron Man was one of the better Marvel movies along with Spider-man 2 and X-Men Days of Future Past--and I actually like other Marvel movies that I think are worse than a number of MCU movies so I don't mean to be a snob ). And aesthetically and acting-wise, they weren't on the level of those LOTR movies. And with the amount of money that went into the MCU movies, I'm not as light with my critiques as other films where limitations were understandable, and I think of the MCU movies as being garbage as a reaction to that and seeing them rated so high on IMdB along great movies like It's a Wonderful Life (I don't think that's one of the very best, but it's a great movie and one of my favorites!). I shut off the first Avengers when I first went to see it because I disliked the oh-so-clever immature banter. Although, it got me interested in going back to reading the older comics with more serious characterizations that were more respectful to their audiences, which is another reason why I'm grateful for the LOTR movies to get people to the source material, since they might never have checked it out if it wasn't for the movies. Not that the comics are on the level of LOTR. I think you brought up something about not liking silly humor. I think that Hobbit movie had it, and I think I shut it off 20 minutes through, but considered checking it out again, but now I appreciate your heads up! Already, conceptually, the Middle Earth setting isn't too my taste, but the overall good vs evil theme, characters, acting, music, beautiful aesthetics, drew me in but with the silly humor of the new Hobbit movie and the video game aesethetic of the dwarves and trolls, I was out. I turned off the 300 movie early on too because of the video game looking aesthetic and the junky sex scene, but tried it again, skipping through the junk, and enjoyed Leonidas' characterization (plus, it might of helped that read the Frank Miller comic before checking it out again) so I was thinking about checking out the Hobbit movie again, but I think I'm good with that 1970s animated Hobbit movie (I liked that one at the time!). Did you like Lawrence of Arabia? Supposedly it's about the same story as Dune, and since I don't care for Dune's aesthetic and prefer something more grounded, do you think it's worth checking out if I wasn't the biggest fan of Lawrence of Arabia? I thought it was a great movie. I gave it a 9/10, but I watched it as homework over enjoyment to get insight of the culture, and since it was considered one of the best movies, I had to check it out. I don't think it's one of the best like Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind was a 10/10 movie for me along with The Godfather, Ben Hur, Bride of Frankenstein, Dial M for Murder, the original cut of the Fellowship of the Ring, Inception, the Incredibles, and Mad Max Fury Road. Mad Max Fury Road was a movie that was criticized for being more about visuals and lacking depth but what did you think? Don't worry if you think it stinks. My opinion could have stunk on ice, and I'm glad to change my assessment. It helps me to get other perspectives because I want to share good entertainment with others.

I 100% agree about the Faramir fight -- when things are short and to the point, it's more enjoyable, especially when the weight is so heavy for the characters. I also found the humor in the hobit movies off-putting. Honestly, when people say they like those movies, I cannot relate at all and I wonder what indeed they liked about it because the only thing I enjoyed was Martin Freeman. I think he's a good actor and did his best as Bilbo. I'm not as much into the medieval fantasy aesthetic either, I really like futuristic settings (like the one in Blade Runner or Altered Carbon). I like big cities with lots of tech, but I can appreciate the fantasy aesthetic because I do love forests. TBH my favorite part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was the Ent Culture. The tree-people are fascinating to me!! I have never seen Lawrence of Arabia to be honest, but depsite my feelings about the length of the Dune movie, I do think it was really good. I won't likely rewatch it because it's 3 hours, but if someone were to invite me to theater, maybe I'd watch it just because it is a cool experience. \ I have also not seen Max Fury Road, buuuut Inception is one of my favorite movies. The Godfather is good too, but the pacing is also kind of slow for me. I preferred Goodfellas which is kind of on the opposite spectrum of mobs, but very interesting to me.

​@@HeartofMichii I'm glad his performance was good. I don't remember him much outside of Sherlock, and he was the only character I could really get into on that show. Did you like that new show? I couldn't stand how apparently smart Sherlock was. He didn't come across as smart to me. He came across like he has super intelligence. I thought it was cartoonish, and it's kind of why I couldn't get into anime that people held up as being so intelligent when it came across as telling me but wasn't showing me (I tried that one Monster anime--same deal as Sherlock). One of my favorite examples of show don't tell intelligence is Frank Morris in the 1979 Escape from Alcatraz movie. I forgot about Blade Runner. Thank you for bringing it up because that's what I thought of when you said you were hanging on Dune for the theme. I don't know if you remember but I brought up to you about one of my favorite you tubers whose favorite color was purple who inspired me to read TMNT comics (I read all that were available at my library--they were quick reads--I like friendship, family, martial arts, and comedy so it was similar to what I liked about Dragon Ball--except it's an easier recommend since it doesn't have that anime pervy stuff and the characters were more noble and intelligent), and Blade Runner is his favorite movie. I tried watching that movie because of him and because of someone else said it was his favorite movie, but it didn't click with me, so I was hanging on that because of the theme, and I didn't like the theme (He's also one of the reasons I re-watched the Star Wars Episode 3 movie because him and his chat talked it up--and that I liked. Maybe if you skip through the toy ad stuff, you might enjoy what was going on with the Emperor's evil emotional manipulation of Anakin. I think it's one of the most relevant big pop culture movies besides The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises). Haha Sorry. I'm glad you brought it up, Michi. SO I COULD STOMP ON IT! I'm kidding. What did you like about the world? I saw that ZombiesRuinEverything came back with an article on it as well as the sequel and I disagreed with him. I didn't like those movies so I'm interested to hear another take. Although, the youtuber I mentioned, I think he liked it more for what you were saying. He's all about originality and creativity, and that's what's making me consider giving it another look and why I'm appreciating Tolkien's Middle Earth for it's originality. It's what might make me appreciate Ent Culture more since that was what I was referring to that conceptually turned me away from the fantastical Middle Earth setting. Along with elves, dwarves, wizards, etc. But, Treebeard and the Ents were good. It's kind of like with superheroes and their colorful costumes and fantastical superpowers which doesn't appeal to me conceptually, but then when I read the characters, since I liked them so much, then it brought me on board with the costumes and fantastical powers. Now Goodfellas, I thought was a well made movie (maybe more realistic than Godfather), but I didn't like that it wasn't as clean cut as The Godfather where Michael's fall from grace put him as a straight up villain so if he didn't receive justice at the end, at least the narrative condemned him whereas I didn't get that from the Goodfellas so it was kind of like how I generally don't like horror movies where I have a dark feeling after watching without the good conquering evil or the hope that good will triumph. So, for an example, I really liked Psycho since there was still the hope there for good to triumph in that universe (I never saw the sequels. I actually didn't know there were sequels until recently. For that or...did you know there was a third Sandlot movie?) But I liked Casino. I gave it a 9/10/ Although, ratings are more quick ways for recommending entertainment to others in way that can be debated as opposed to my taste. Just like with Lawrence of Arabia, which I think is a 9/10 movie but it's not to my liking. I recently watched The Amazing Spider-man 2 and gave that a 7/10, and would rather rewatch it again over Raiders of the Lost Ark and I'd give that movie a 10/10. That wasn't a good example because I really like Raiders of the Lost Ark but I realized that I forgot it so I'm taking the opportunity to tell you another 10/10 recommendation. Actually, I gave the first Amazing Spider-man a 7/10 movie as well but I didn't like that movie because of how horrible Peter Parker's characterization was but the acting, visuals, action, and supporting cast were all good. If you see Mad Max Fury Road, I hope you like it. But after writing to you, I just remembered that there was nothing memorable about the main protagonists. I don't remember anything about Max's character except I think he was gruff and I don't remember anything about the woman. I thought it had an overall theme of defending the sanctity of life, which is a theme I love, so that with the beautiful visuals and immersive apocalptic world clicked with me. Maybe it shouldn't get a 10/10. I'm glad you enjoyed Dune! Thank you for reviewing both it and the book!

BWAHAHAHAH

I thought it was a bit, but then when it wasn't, it got better

YESSSSS

it is that pronunciation, i'm just a dork bwahahaha As for the book -- it's called To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. It's incredibly well-researched, but over 800 pages and that's a lot for a space opera. I'm not much for space opera, then to make it long? Even if the science is real i can't invest that much time lol

YES!!!!

suck for u cause she just being nominated for best actress by the academy award lmao
