Best Dune casting choice however remains Salvador Dali as Shaddam IV in the Jodorowsky version that never got filmed.

Why?

Sting as Feyd was amazing and I wish they would have shown him in the fighting pits of Geidu Prime.

If I ever get a chance to go back in time I think I'd choose getting that movie made over killing Baby Hitler.

If you haven't seen the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune I highly recommend doing so, I think you can rent it on YouTube for a couple bucks. It sadly does not contain my favorite casting anecdote, where Dali thought that the Emperor should ride around on a golden throne that doubled as a toilet, with as he put "separate swan mouths for wee-wee and poo-poo".

I am looking to get a pressure washer this spring and have been looking at the Dewalts and Stihls, but I am concerned I may end up using it once or twice a year at most. But it something I want to have when needed.

Just curious. There's not much of a reason for a homeowner to need a gas motor power washer unless you're stripping paint off siding that would require the extra 1000+ psi

I wanted to get an electric power washer last year to clean the deck and repaint it but my dad lended me his gas one instead. Way too much power for what I need ontop of being extremely heavy to boot :(

Saw Aquamam tonight. DC is trying to mimic Marvel's formula now and it's a bit unsteady but definitely better than most of what they've released so far. Momoa was a great choice for Aquaman. The character is kind of a joke and they really needed a gigantic hulk man to make him look credible. A credible hulk, if you will.

Yeah I dont need a ton of power but I was able to power wash "HI <wife's name>" into the patio so my life is complete.

I knuckled down to get it because I'm smoking wings tomorrow and kinda forgot that I didnt clean my smoker last year so it was nasty as gently caress

Lynch's Dune was a bad adaptation that didn't work, but also was full of cool wierd poo poo that makes it very watchable. As long as you don't care about it being coherent and don't mind random gross poo poo in your movie anyway.

I wouldn't mind a Dune movie that was conventionally a good movie though.

By watching TV in japan I've learned they have the worst subtitles on earth because they need two lines of information for every one line of text because they include hiragana forms of every kanji which should be sending a message to someone that possibly having three writing systems that all convey the same information is not good

Bitcoin dealer seeks credit protection; dead owner had sole access to $250M

As many as 115,000 account holders are owed $250 million, which is locked up in “cold storage” only accessible to the recently deceased founder and CEO, Gerald Cotten.

But the new management group has been handcuffed because much of the company’s cryptocurrency reserves are locked in so-called cold wallets — unhackable offline accounts — that cannot be accessed by anyone but Cotten.
In an affidavit, Robertson explains: “The laptop computer from which Gerry carried out the company’s business is encrypted and I do not know the password or recovery key.”

They do indeed, as lack of kanji knowledge is as pointed out assumed for children. Watching music videos quickly devolves into 4 writing systems being on screen in a single two block line of text.

They don't stop teaching them, they start teaching you because Kanji loving sucks to learn as its brute character memorization. You learn hiragana then katakana because they're basically the same thing and then you learn kanji which are said using all the rules hiragana and katakana follow. Romanji/latin alphabet is used for other language transcription as well to get you to four writing systems you need to learn although this one is extremely optional.

Most games will be a mix of the first three I just mentioned which is how Japanese is written.

It's run by Christina Tosi who had her own episode of Chef's Table and is an all around badass human being. It's both Milk Bar (famous, good) and a pizza place.
