Morning, mixers.

Plan is to stay inside again, still bad air from fires. Supposed to be finally getting blown east. Tonight. :(

But they are getting past rumors of rain, and the current guess is that is will start (probably late) tomorrow, and shows in the guess as at least scattered for the following week. That would be good!

I'm holding out on applying. Most rehab places are the same. Exploit the workers and make sure one cannot give the proper care. I despise nursing but I need to work for 6 more years.

Holding out might be ok, but I'd keep my eyes open.
My oldest daughter and her husband selected the new(er) Dune movie for tonight. I just watched the trailer. Looks good.

The original Dune movie ('84) was excellent. The new one looks like a major upgrade.

Nothing quite like Sting being the bad guy ;) And the SyFy channel remake a few years later was done well. This new one, yeah, even though only the first (roughly) 2/3ds of the book, well, advancing tech sure did a good job :) (Not to mention the "re-visioning" by using Chani's viewpoint.)

Dune is a SciFi movie. It's set ~8000 years in the future. The movie is based on Frank Herbert's first book. There are six books in the Dune saga. I read them all (excellent).

movie trailer...


Those books were great. I just watched the original Dune movie last week for the first time since it came out. Still a good one. I hardly ever watch movies and they are always old movies.

The new Dune movie, part 1, was awesome!!! Dune part 2 will be released 2023 November. Denis Villeneuve (director) has plans for a trilogy by also adapting Herbert's 1969 sequel novel, “Dune Messiah,” into a third film. I'm hopeful the next two do well enough to continue with future releases. Villeneuve has been obsessed with Dune since reading the books as a teenager. We're in very good hands with him at the helm. ;)

ETA: After watching the movie I went and found my Dune books!!! Time to reread them. :greengrin:

Yes, great books. I'm about to start reading them again. I love getting lost in sci-fi. :greengrin:

Found it but Amazon wants $29.98 for the season.
:shock: Wow, that's insane.

You would be better off going with Prime Video, it costs $8.99 per month. Or just wait until the season is over and then pay $8.99, if that show is all you are interested in.


We don't have Prime Video. My girls want it... and I told them to ante up. :greengrin:
I very rarely buy anything from Amazon, so Prime is not in my future ($139 p/yr or $15 p/mo).
