Looking forward to this...
https://movieweb.com/dune-remake…- He did a fantastic job on Bladerunner 2049. Good it got into his hands and not some of these dumb Marvel/ Superhero movie directors.NBQ00
- :sigh: hans zimmer doing the soundtrack. so we know what that'll sound like then...hans_glib
- You should like Hans, hans. He's good.NBQ00
- the first time, i agree. after lord knows how many films he's scored, not so much.hans_glib
- Nothing wrong with Hans Zimmer. Nobody could argue all his work is similar though.monospaced
- Feels like Villeneuve can do no wrong, excited for this.ben_
- It's a tough translation, as the book covers so many philosophical IDEAS. Excited to see how they handle it compared to all of the other shots at it.toemaas
- I hope that I'm not let down with the remake.utopian
- at least he's splitting it up into two filmsmonospaced
- sandworm is already too cgihotroddy
- The only thing he cannot do, unless he really wants to push the limits is include "Sandstorm" by Darude when the first sandworm is revealed.
Michael Bay style!ideaist - / Jerry Bruckheimer style!ideaist
- But Darude - Sandstorm with a full opera orchestra will do!!!grafician
- sounded great... but when I got to the fourth cast member I hit the brakes knowing it will be shit..."Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Jason Momoa"PonyBoy
- ^Pony: Jason is a very good actor man, directed by Villeneuve he'll do well, remember Bautista in Blade Runner 2049!!grafician
- I remember him as a dopey man-beast in just about every roll. If he's given too many words he tends to act / sound like he's still in high school drama class.PonyBoy
- I mean... it's not like I'm not going to watch the film :P ...I'm just reducing my expectations some.PonyBoy
- ^you're overreacting, think the cast is spot on and these films will be a great start to the new cinematic decadegrafician
- it'll beat when Toto did the originaljaylarson

hmm... Blake Anderson kinda looks like a younger non-beefy Moamoa.PonyBoy - hopefully kickstarts some more adult big budget films from hollywood- tired of the infantilised hellscape of Disney films.inteliboy

Today I finished reading „The Aquarium“. A book that is so wild that I now feel drunk with impressions. Like when I left the movie thestre as a kid and became Crocodile Dundee.
The book is from 1999, I bought it to impress women with my bookshelf. Never actually read it. Now my wife who is a writer suggested me to read it. And it blew my mind.
It’s full of emotions and sex. But nothing like you would expect it.
I hope I am posting in the right thread. I am so confused right now.

Have any of you done a nutritional DNA test with any of these services like 23AndMe, Genopalate, Orig3n, etc?
- why would you hand over that kind of information to internet strangers?hans_glib
- Don't. Just don't.Nairn
- Don't do it.monospaced
- LOL?DRIFTMONKEY
- I wasn't planning on doing it, just wondered if any of you have. I keep seeing so many ads for them on Twitter.mg33
- Yeah it’s ok, never gave my real name it’s hit and miss accuracy wise especially ancestry. One day I’m part Italian the next I’m part Jewish the next I’m viking_niko
- What is it exactly people are afraid of? Give concrete examples, put it into wordsdrgs
- According to geneticists, DNA testing is slightly better than astrology. Slightly.BustySaintClaire
- That the dna data could be bought & sold — or worse, stolen — and used against people. Think GATTACA.monospaced
- Imagine being rejected for life insurance because they know you are predisposed to a certain condition. Or any billion similar bad situations that could occur.monospaced
- It's a SCAM.pablo28
- @Busty yes, the stories behind the ancestry are quite ungrounded. But the genetic data itself is absolutely correct.monospaced
- I'm less interested in the ancestry portion and more interested in the accuracy of the companies building nutritional profiles.mg33
- Seems like the Wild West for these companies and reviews are hit or miss.mg33
- I would be wary of the very concept of "nutritional genetics" in the first place ... doesn't sound like actual sciencemonospaced
- I already know whats will come up, my ancestors are from France, nothing to learn thereBennn
- you'd be surprised, considering france has had countless influences from outside groups over the milleniamonospaced
- I'm worry to post comments on QBN because we can't delete them, and ppl upload their DNA to the cloud...wowgrafician
- but if you do it be careful, you might find out you're a descendant of a Nigerian price and get deportedgrafician
- How do you use a person's DNA against him?drgs
- @drgs, anything from denial of services to more nefarious racial motivations would account for countless possible scenarios of wrongdoing.monospaced

I’m really trying to remember a joke thought I saw it on here somewhere. It’s a chicken joke. Quite childish. I’ve checked the right threads though. Nothing. The punchline is something like buk buk.
- Are you ok, man? You're not on meds, or something, are you? Is there anyone we should call?Nairn

Whoa. Threadless is still a thing. Everyone’s still trying to out-t-shirt everyone else.
- Yeah but stuff they sell changed a lot. Hard to find the level of design they had 10 years ago. What I got 2 years ago aged like the ones i bought in 2004sted

Why is it considered the default to pour a huge amount of sugar into your coffee in so many cultures? Unhealthy and it doesn't really go together that well, just my opinion.
- I find Americans obsession with franchise coffee even odder. Starbucks and the rest... rubbish.inteliboy
- yes inteliboy, and driving / walking from here to there all the day with a massive cup / thermo of coffee...OBBTKN
- Take a good espresso on a porcelain cup, and you're done for hoursOBBTKN
- Here in PT we drink expresso, and many (as I) drink it without sugar.dmay
- i'm guessing it's the original rocket fuel - a massive dose of caffeine mixed with a ton of sugar for energy. but you're right - disgustinghans_glib
- the italians seem to leave the sugar out of their coffee and have some sickly sugary pastry with their coffee instead.hans_glib
- well thats just your opinionmilfhunter
- Yeah but.. a teaspoon of sugar in a porcelain cup with tea and milk. My gran drank it every day... she had a full set of false teeth. Lived to 89 years old.shapesalad
- most probably a hangover from industrilisation, coffee/tea=power, sugar=more power. also, with sugar you don't need high quality coffee/tea.uan
- uan is on the money.
Coffee is an acquired taste, countries that don't have a big coffee culture and therefore low quality coffee compensate with sugar.deadsperm - Peru has great coffee production but Peruvians don't really enjoy coffee. If you buy locally roasted coffee it's shit.deadsperm
- dont know.... i thought black coffee is the defaultpango
- Why do people like the things they like?
Bennn, please explain.deadsperm - bica turns bisa if you skip sugarSimonFFM
- First dang thing in my mouth, it better be bliss.dibec
- That's like asking why people put salt on french fries. It turns meh into mmmmm.monNom
- I think some North Americans skip breakfast and JUST drink a coffee; milk AND sugar are substitutes for REAL FOOD. The Canadian "4x4" for example...ideaist
- ...4 milks and 4 sugars. Microwave it all morning and you can skip breakfast and not eat lunch until 2pm. That and some darts/smokes and you're good to go.ideaist
- i'm eating salty cheese croissant and drinking a big ass latte coffee what is more like milk with sugar. compensates the salt that's all for me.sted
- Switched to honey a few years back. Fucking delicious. Now I can't use sugar. It's way too sweet.IRNlun6
- Black or nothing.section_014
- cream and sugar pleaseutopian
- no sugar... black or w/cream (preferably a little cream to cut down the acidity / attack on my belly). mmm—although coffee actually puts me to sleep these daysPonyBoy

We're having a cookie trade at work today, and everyone brought in at least a dozen or more cookies and I'm definitely going to be in a sugar coma by 3pm, nutritional goals be damned.

I'm pretty sure I'm in love again. I haven't said it but i definately feeling it. But, is it too good to be real? I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. But, he may just be a really good guy.
- That is a very nice feeling indeed. Dont overthink it, what it is or what it could be. Just go with the flow and enjoy the journey :)Fabricio

Im going to spend the next 4 days and xmas alone.
There was the option to join the family and cousins, aunties..etc..
But since I dont fancy the idea of joining a big group of people, I will be by myself, and it actually feels fine.I bought some shiitakes, nice vegetables and other ingredients and will cook a nice curry on the 24th. I also bought a nice argentinian malbec wine and will play Sekiro the entire xmas.
Feels like a good plan. Killing evil samurais and getting drunk.
- Not bad, mate... Prob. this way you'll get the best xmas ever. Enjoy!OBBTKN
- I'm doing the same mate, and it's really playing with my conscience. My family are going to be pissed off, but I know I really want and need to do this.Ianbolton
- Might do the same, this year was brutal, need to chill and paint or somethinggrafician
- I always visit the family weeks before xmas, so we don't have to go on xmas. Good plan of yours!SimonFFM
- Not to shit Xmas pudding on your idea, but I did this three times, always felt good about it in advance, always felt wretchedly lonely come Xmas day evening.Nairn
- I did this once years back and it worked well for me. Fam understood. I needed some clarity around some stuff. They're (hopefully) a call away if you get lonelyben_
- Not sure where you're at with Sekiro, but you're definitely going to need the break.ben_
- @nairn yeah, I am 100% sure I will have a Bridget Jones moment.. but man.. I really need to fight back. I needed this time alone for so long.Fabricio
- Yeah, they will be a call away :)
And I am on the guardian ape on Sekiro.. omg... that fight is TOUGH, but I laugh so much during the encounter!! haha!Fabricio

Interesting, especially to those that are anti oil. People tried to warnyou EV wasn't greener. But good for this guy.
- You are a simple, blinkered soul, aren't you? Strange how an ardent capitalist can't see how capital markets and resource value work and are attributed.Nairn
- It's almost like you don't actually have a clue what you're on about, and simply post contrarian political-slanted bullshit here to score troll points.Nairn

- Yup, i'm always straight forward, they're okay at first, then after a really short period, they change their mind. COMMITMENT!ApeRobot

Anybody else have sleep disorders?
I'm a full-blown parasomniac. I sleep walk, sleep talk, sleep run, sleep jump, sleep fall, etc.
I roam around and break things. I run into walls. I've woken up and realized I've been trying to open the front door.
I was once certain that I was picking a human-sized carrot out of the ground, Bugs Bunny style. Woke up to my girlfriend slapping me awake because I had her in a cuddly headlock, trying to pull her out of bed with me.
We have a long-standing agreement that if I start some sleep bullshit, it's slapping time. There have been times where I have been slapped while I was completely awake and just getting up for a glass of water. That might be funnier than the carrot episode.
She's put up with this nonsense for almost 6 years, so she must be a keeper. It usually only flares up when I'm stressed, and 'tis the season.
