Banter RDT CLXXXVI - Trucko’s Salty Water

[Godfather32]

Still rocking the single bin up in Gero

But how big is it?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

But how big is it?

By my estimates the bin in Geraldton is roughly 270km²

But how big is it?

Gero is just one big bin

Bin & Geraldton

Bin & Geraldton

Get in it

 

[WCE_phil]

Gero is just one big bin

I feel aggrieved for normal bins elsewhere being compared to Geraldton.

 

[squashface]

These are all correct opinions yes

 

[Truckosaurus]

Technically it's a skip.

Caught Dune part 2 last night, was unsurprisingly excellent. (But also understandably not for everyone)

This came up in my newsreel today - pretty accurate:

It is pure epic sci-fi

Read the books as a teenager. Growing-up in grey 70’s London, amidst constant union strikes, race riots, borderline poverty, etc, This epic story of Universe building blew.my.mind.
I hope they continue to adapt the lot.

It gets weird after Dune Messiah imo so I hope they don't

I lacked proper context and was inundated by hype from my friend.

I thought it was very good but came out a little confused about the 'best film and villain ever' posts I'd been seeing online (I believe at one point early it was the highest rated film on IMDb?). Certainly nowhere near that category for me, not that there's any shame in that.

Probably just not quite my genre.

Does this mean you haven't seen the first one? Plenty of context there I thought.

Probably more read the books. I thought this one did a good job filling it in for the most part, just felt I lacked the nuances of the cultures involved etc.

It didn't really make me want to see the first or read the books. But that's largely because it's not really my genre, not a criticism of the film at all.

Thought Javier Bardem was the easy stand out from the cast.

Do you generally go to the cinemas to see part 2's of films you haven't seen part 1 of?

Just seems like an odd decision.

Just seems like an odd decision.

Especially when it picks up about 5mins after Part 1 ended

 

[Keys]

I need to rewatch part 1 before going to see the second one to remind myself of what’s going on

Does that mean Star Wars fans listen to A Perfect Circle?

Why you gotta do me like that?

It's like you don't respect 90s one-hit wonders.

I stand corrected. As penance I'll listen to Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something and Sister Hazel's All For You.
