How was it? I've read the book and watched the original Swedish movie. Have they fully sanitised it? I don't understand why they had to change the name of the main character, what's wrong with Ove?
What film did you watch last night?

Joker: Folie a Deux - not as good as the first and a bit of a musical. Story really doesn't move on, but watchable.
Most of the Bond films are on Prime at the moment, I was almost tempted by From Russia With Love last night, my favourite Connery film.
Hitman 47
A man who works for an organisation that takes young children and trains them as assassins is chased across Europe by a British detective whilst his own organisation have now also decided to kill him.
It's pretty much John Wick without the over corergraphed fights.
5/10.

The recent 1 & 2 are both excellent films, watched them several times.dune 2
much better than the david lynch effort as i found chamalet a more believable character , spreading over 2 films certainly gave it chance to work more of the story in although you can expect some changes like the fact that paul`s sister is still unborn at the end and paul kills the baron himself .Nit picking for sure
But I did also enjoy the previous efforts, not only the David Lynch one but also the Si-Fi Channel attempts. All have their limoitations but all good efforts to tell a complex story. Latest 2 part most successful so far.

never read the books so it was good to discover that stupid idea was a Lynch insert... my name is a weapon ...feck off!
The new Dune is just so much better than the 80s version, but the SciFy version is still my favourite.

Which got me thinking....😁
Do any films work better than the book ?
Not many for me,rarely does a film do a book I've read justice.
Of the top of my head The Shining...loved the book and the film but that's a rare one for me.King and Kubrick being masters of their art.

The Princess Bride is possibly the best book I've read... but if the film was like the book, it simply would not work.
