I am actually going to check this.

I watched one of the Popeye horrors and it was terrible (and I like horror b-movies).

Hopefully this will be better.

Phaeleh has some chill trip-hop sound dubstep, check it out if you like that kind of thing!

There are probably going to be ~10 Minecraft movies over the next ~20 years (if not more)

If kids like it, that's a top end target market. No parent is going to lecture their child for shit taste. 😆

The children are not going to say "this is an atrocious screen adaption of the spirit of Minecraft, I am extremely disappointed in Jared Hess' direction and Jason Momoa, who has once again proven himself to be a subpar actor as we saw in his work in See".

IMO, it would be far more difficult to make movies covering Frank Herbert's books after Dune Messiah. Especially Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune.

While I really enjoyed Dune: Part II, it in many ways compressed the developments the middle and ending of the book. Dune: Part I was much more aligned with pacing of the book; it covered the relatively short intro of the book. I would have much preferred if Dune: Part II was split into two parts; the rise of Muad'Dib (this would introduce us to on-going developments in Dune, broader history and world-building, as well as developing Paul and Jessica's Atreides characters) and a final movie dedicated to the narrative finale of Dune (1965).

An additional movie covering the events Dune Messiah would be a perfect fit to the "original trilogy". A postscript movie of sorts, before starting new trilogies based on the later books.

I am not just saying this as a Dune fanboy. I spoke to several people who don't normally watch sci-fi (let alone have an interest in Dune specifically), but who watched Dune Parts I/II and they all mentioned that Part II was difficult to follow and was a bit disjointed and that Part I had better pacing.

And no Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson novels. I admit I've only read one (I believe it was Dune: House Atreides from 1999), but it was complete dogshit and did not feel like a Dune novel. Felt more like a generic space scifi novel.

And an excellent remix by Astral Project, they kept the vibe of the original, but added their own perspective in a subtle way.

I completely agree.

Another thing to keep in mind was that this was before streaming services and broadband.

I would come back from school and put on the TV to watch MTV to see clips/tracks like this.

I remember seeing the video as a young kid, my mind was blown.

Later on I got into Jamiroquai's albums and I realized this track/video was just the tip of the iceberg.

Super poppy and mainstream track, but you got to agree it's catchy and has that positive sunny vibes feel.

It was huge when it came out, this was around the time Nero were transitioning from Drum & Bass to Dubstep.

The dope video with visuals from a cool 90s cyberpunk anime also helped! :)

This is a very good remix.

This is the video/single version from 1999. The original album version from 1997 is more ambient sounding, but I am assuming most people remember the video version.

The Club mix is also bomb, but the radio edit version has that awesome early 2000s video.

It's been almost a quarter of century. Where has all this time gone? 😱
