Because I haven’t really had much time or energy to do any coding posts, I’ve decided to post about my latest escapades which is watching a lot of movies.

In the last few months here I have probably watched over 100 films off of my netflix account and still going. Most of which came from my recent interest in japanese anime, where I’ve watched almost all of Studio Ghibli’s films. I’m fascinated with the work that gets put into them and how detailed they can get. I just recently watched Kiki’s Delivery Service, which was surprisingly better that I thought. Now I’m probably not their target demographic for that movie, but I enjoyed it.

Anyways I decided to watch and older movie based on a book that I partially read called Dune. Now I decided to get the extended edition thinking it would be better, but boy was I wrong. Now I appreciated the story immensely as Frank Herbert created an amazing universe with that series of books, but I just felt bored most of time during the movie. The story just might be easier to read than it is to watch I guess. In fact the funniest parts of the movie were the battle scenes towards the end where the warriors used the sound guns to defeat the Harkonnens. Just the battle cries from them were hilarious and oh so cheesy. That was probably the best part thinking about it.

Anywho, I’ll probably be doing more of this as I have more energy to watch movies than code at home.
