The German team and the US team each won their local version of Lego Masters. Makes no sense that Nine would put four first-time Australian teams up against previous winners and previous contestants. Got home after the show started last night, so I missed the set-up, but the Australian teams...

Doesn't help matters that the Aussies are all noobs at building in Lego Masters and the four overseas teams have all participated (won? I don't recall) their local version of Lego Masters. If Nine wanted to go down this path, they probably should have saved the concept for an All-Stars version...

We completely skipped the 2023 season, but it's back tonight for 2024 and this time it's Australia versus the Rest of the World (well, the Americans, the Germans, the Danes and the French). Have to say, on first impression, the four Australian teams look pretty weak when put up against the...

If you say so. On the other hand, I find Burnham irritating and boring, the story/plot cliched and the writing to be uninspired.

Half way through the first episode of the new season and by gum I'm glad it's the last season of this show. Well and truly past its use by date.

Made it to the fourth episode. I know it's based on a book by Liu Cixin but it has elements of Snow Crash and Torchwood: Children of Earth. I'm still not enamoured with the series just yet, but I have made it this far so I might as well finish it.

Watched the first episode after seeing a review for it on ABC News 24 on Good Friday (I think). I have to say, I'm not feeling the love for it like everyone else here. Thought it meandered too long and then rushed to the conclusion of the first episode a little too quickly. I'll try the second...

Well, Villeneuve split the movie into two parts so it should be Dune Part I and Dune Part Ii.

The thing about Dune Messiah is that the jihad basically occurs in the background of the book and Frank Herbert consciously chose to avoid writing about any of the particular battles. It's very generalised in the sense that we know the Fremen are fighting on behalf of Paul elsewhere in the known...

Do not click on this link if you have not seen the movies, but it contains speculation about where Villeneuve may take the potential third Dune film and addresses some of the points I have listed in my spoilers-protected comment...

I watched the movie in Gold Class on the weekend. Enjoyed it. It didn't feel too long and there was plenty of action to keep the casual fan entertained. Really enjoyed Javier Bardem as Stilgar. He stole the show every time he was on the screen. I also thought Timothee Chalamat portrayed Paul...

My understanding is that Villeneuve still wants to make his TV/streaming series focused on the Bene Gesserit. Not sure how progressed the pre-production has got with it though. I don't think we'll ever see Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune or the other sequels made (possibly Dune Messiah, I...

It's Waingro. His first name is never revealed in the movie. McCauley never got over the fact that the robbery of the armoured truck turned into a triple-murder because of Waingro's actions and drew the attention of cops like Vincent Hanna, whereas if it Waingro had not killed the guard, then...

An incomplete list (I'll add to this when I remember films) The Usual Suspects (1995) Last Night (1998) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) Young and Dangerous (1996) Army of Darkness (1992) Heat (1995) Jackie Brown (1997) Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) The Castle (1997) Dead Man...

He's credited as playing both Patsy and Philly on IMDB. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342106/ I just watched the episode where Philly was shot in the head by Gigi Cestone after Philly picked up Gigi from the airport and drove him own, on Tony's orders. The story goes that Patsy knew that Tony...

Always was struck by the likeness between the actor who played Beansie in season 2 with Tony Abbott.

SupaNova announced Giancarlo Esposito will attend their fan cons at Melbourne and the Gold Coast. They're charging half as much as they're charging for Whitaker for photos and autographs with Moff Gideon/Gustavo Fring. I'm still not going to go, but my goodness, that's a lot of money for the...

The thing about AJ is that he was a slacker and a loser, borderline clinically depressed at times and tried to commit suicide but stuffed it up because he couldn't be bothered measuring the rope length correctly, but he could pull the birds. Blanca is a stunner. Devin Pillsbury is pretty good...

Vito was Tony's best earner at the time. He was prepared to look the other way while Vito was paying.

Before he ratted, he was the boss of one of the New York families. Jersey was always subservient to New York in the mob hierarchy in the show's universe, so it would have been difficult to clip him. Then he ratted on the mob and was locked up tight by the feds, so it would have been even harder...

Interestingly enough, Dan Grimaldi, who portrayed both Patsy and Philly Parisi in The Sopranos is a mathematics professor in Brooklyn. Acting was a bit of a side gig for him. I'm currently re-watching The Sopranos and I'm into season 2 (I just finished the episode with the executive game and...

Got tickets for Gold Class for one of the Saturday sessions. Looking forward to it. As luck would have it, the book is lying on the floor in my bedroom. Should pick it up and read it again ahead of watching it.

I can't remember how much I paid for my child to get the photos with Capaldi and Pearl Mackie, but I don't think it was that much.

If anyone cares, Supa Nova has just announced that Jodie Whitaker will be attending the Melbourne and Gold Coast Supa Nova events in April 2024. But be prepared to pay through the nose for a photo or an autograph. $160 for a photo and $150 for an autograph. No thanks.

Until Jodie came along (and it's not entirely her fault), I rated Tennant as the worst of the nu Doctors. I really enjoyed Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor, and think he's underrated by a lot of fans, who probably got sick of it being the Amy Pond/Clara Oswald show featuring the Doctor. I...

For their part, Ten says that Leong was shifted to the new program and couldn't also judge on Masterchef due to scheduling conflicts.

Andy Allen is a likeable bloke on screen but his food critiquing fell a long way short of his two colleagues. Leong has been a food critic for a long time and knew how to tell a contestant (nicely) when their dishes sucked. I hadn't heard the talk of her clashes behind the scenes.

I suspect some people got their wires crossed. It seems like Oliver is just doing a guest judging role like he has done for a few years, and getting paid a packet to do so. Accordingly, with Jock's untimely passing, some people put two and two together and got five.

Season 2 launching this Thursday in the US, so presumably the first episode will be available on Paramount+ on Friday Australian time. Looking forward to it. Feel like it's the most entertaining of the three live-action productions at the moment (I'm consciously omitting Lower Decks and Prodigy...

The reporting of Beltran rejecting the offer implies that he would have been the Magistrate and married to President Seven.
