I once got the piss ripped out of me by my consultant on a ward round when I was an FY1 doc.
Consultant: "The dietician reviewed him yesterday, what have they said?"
Me (reading through the notes): "They've recommended vitamin suppositories"
As the nurses start sniggering it dawns on me that might not be what the abbreviation 'supps' stands for.

The first instalment was enjoyable but somewhat lacking.
Peter de Vries is sadly underused and for all the fuss about that Zedenya lady as Chani she still only has about half a dozen lines in the film. I was pleasantly surprised by the Baron though; they’ve toned down the grotesque a bit and perhaps reminded us that the baton was meant to be big and muscular before you-know-who did you-know-what.
I was really hoping to see Villeneuve’s take on the guild navigators too, but we didn’t see any. At least Bardem will probably make for a good Stilgar, and Voice was depicted quite well along with the finger speaking and use of other languages.
It was quite a visual feast which is par for the course as far as the director goes, but for all the things that happen so very little is actually said. I think you really need to have read the book to get full enjoyment; there’s just so little exposition.

I thought the lack of exposition
Leaving out the Emperor, the Spacing Guild and the Navigators (with the folding space etc.) was a really brave, and smart, move.
This movie is character driven, it doesn't lay all this lore on people, it lets you get involved with the motives and pulled along by the story - the lore is easy to read up on (or view on youtube) if needed.

Yeah. I've got a suitably large/good screen and sound system at home.
But this is definitely cinema spectacle stuff. I'm hedging my bets that they'll do a back to back screening once the second part finally gets released. Hopefully by then things are a little less manky.

I'm off to my local arthouse cinema later this week for the first time in ages:
Friday for The Seven Samurai, which I don't think I've ever seen on the big screen;
Saturday for this interesting-sounding one.
There will be way less than 200 people at the screenings, but it'll be "cosy"...
I noticed earlier that the same place (in Manchester) is showing an old-school B3tard's sophomore directorial feature with a post-screening Q&A including the director on Saturday.
They're also screening Dune, but I have little-to-no interest in seeing that...

Covid isn't going away
so we vaccinate, wear masks in public, and learn to live with it.
(, Thu 28 Oct 2021, 7:27, Reply)
I'll be avoiding cinemas like the plague (lol) until mask wearing is made voluntary in Scotland.
Don't get me wrong, I'll still be wearing one in enclosed public spaces. But my issues with these 'mask exempt' cunts and worse, the chinmaskers and fuckwits that take their masks off as soon as they're seated are only getting more severe as the pandemic wears on.
I struggle to take a 10 minute trip to the supermarket without descending into an internal rage about how fucking self-centered and pathetic the general public can be. There's no way on earth I'd be able to sit through (never mind enjoy) a screening feeling like that.
Once mask wearing is no longer compulsory, (I hope) I won't react so aggressively to those soft cunts that can't bear the anguish of donning a temporary face covering for a small portion of their day. But while it's compulsory, there's really no fucking excuse besides "Sorry, I'm a bit of a cunt and the slight discomfort of wearing a mask is too much to bear so I'm just going to walk about without one looking like a massive bellend and then claim I have some kind of debilitating disability/mild asthma when questioned about my exempt status". Just do what you're fucking told for fuck's sake.
I think my issue is compounded somewhat by the fact that I work in a job where staff are mandated to wear masks throughout the day. Mine goes on at 8 in the morning and doesn't come off again until 5pm unless I decide to take a 30 minute lunch break. Would I prefer not to wear a mask? Of course. But it's really not a fucking hardship. If a customer/member of the public is unwilling return that courtesy for the short amount of time that they are required to do so, they're a fucking twat in my book.
Sorry. Needed to get that off my chest. But yeah, no cinema for me for the time being!

I wear a mask in enclosed spaces, and stay away from close contact with vulnerable people
I can't control what anyone else does, so not going to stress about it.
I'm not concerned about catching it myself, I'm almost certain I had it spring 2020, and will keep myself vaccinated. I just don't want to pass it on to anyone vulnerable, so I take measures against that.

I don't think 'learning to live with the virus' is particularly meaningful. I think you're using it as a euphemism for something pretty dark.

As a Finn could you tell me the name of that animated cop show?
I think the main character is called something like Kyösti Pösti. I think he often has a dummy/pacifier in his mouth. His boss is constantly saying God Damn it but I that probably doesn’t narrow it down much in Finland.
I tried searching for the main character but it looks like they named him after the postal service.
