DUNE, Part 2 (full review)
There was a moment early on in Denis Villeneuve's DUNE part two when I actually laughed out loud. It was the moment when Stilgar tells his peers that "Muad Dib is too humble to admit that he's Muad Dib." It was identical to the scene in Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) when a moron from the back says "Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!" Having read the novel in my youth (happily) and sat through the David Lynch version from 1984 repeatedly (unhappily) I'd reached a point where I despaired that Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece would ever be filmed intelligently. Certainly the miniseries from 20+ years ago was as good as we were ever going to get on a cable TV budget...and now here it has finally arrived and ye gods what a spectacle! A feast for both the eyes and ears... Part 2 picks up without missing a beat where the previous film ended. Paul and his mother have embraced the pre-packaged destiny provided by the Bene Gesserit, and so goes the long march for Paul

Ok so a firmware update (1.62) has bricked my Nikon Z7 ii :sadface: :angryface: I'm still waiting to hear back from Nikon about how to get my very expensive paperweight working again - other reports on the web suggest they will try and charge me for this because their 5 year warranty on cameras does not cover "electronics" - those get 1 year for some ungodly reason. I mean, most of the camera is electronics apart from the chassis itself and maybe the mechanical shutter so I'm bracing for a fight. In the meantime I guess I'm back to the D750 - which is a lovely camera, glad I didn't sell it yet - but it's bulky and heavy, which was the main reason I went to the mirrorless camera. Also I have sold quite a few of the old F-mount lenses and there is no Z-to-F adapter, only the other way around. tl;dr Don't do firmware upgrades unless you need whatever they are providing and don't use the Nikon Snapbridge app to update firmware - go with a memory card instead. The app looks like it is

The Velvet Shadows (aka 90’s TV show MILF bandits): Deep in the heart of the forests surrounding Maidenvale, where the trees whisper ancient secrets and the moonlight dances through the leaves, there resides a band of female bandits known as The Velvet Shadows. Cloaked in the mystery as dense as the woodland they call home, these women are as elusive as they are notorious. Legend has it that The Velvet Shadows were not always outlaws. Each member was once a woman of the valley – some say former servants from noble houses, others whisper of disgraced nobility or spirited peasants seeking a life beyond the confines of tradition. Their reasons for turning to banditry are as varied as their backgrounds, but one common thread binds them: a desire for freedom and a disdain for the oppressive structures of feudal society. The Velvet Shadows operate with a code known only to themselves, walking a fine line between roguish criminality and Robin Hood-esque heroism. They are whispered to rob
