[cinema-cinephile]

Pinocchio is one of those stories that sooner or later will be retold or remade... Benigni tried, Garrone too, Disney went at it two times, once in the same year as Del Toro...

And yet, even after all this time, Luigi Comencini's '70s miniseries is still the best adaptation I've ever seen. It might be five hours, but it's worth every minute.

I heard and read a lot of praise for Dune Part Two. I was so excited to see it that I decided to re-read the book to have a fresh memory of the events and... I did not enjoy my viewing experience as much as I wanted. I saw a lot of fans of the book praise the movie and explain how the changes actually make sense in the context of the story but personally I think they just... Cheapen it a little? I mean the message and themes are clearer and more explicit, but I think that in this way the movie loses a lot of the complexity and intricacies of the book.

But hey at least the visuals are cool

(to clarify: I do not think the movie is bad. It's not a bad movie. I just didn't enjoy it as much as I expected considering my enjoyment of the first movie and the positive reviews I saw)

Maybe I need my "movie watcher" license revoked because I finally watched Argylle and I liked it? I'm genuinely confused by all the negative reviews that pick it apart so much. Aside from a couple of moments when my suspension of disbelief broke, I had fun watching it. Isn't that enough?

I'm feel a little silly for this but when I finally watched 12 Angry Men, I had to keep a list of the jurors faces open on my phone for the first half of the movie because I kept forgetting who was who
