Just a heads-up for those, like me, who loved the 2005-8 cartoon version of Avatar - rather surprisingly, the new live-action TV series series of the same story is excellent so far (despite being made by Netflix of 2024).
I've watched two episodes and am thoroughly enjoying it.
I also re-watched the first part of Dune, from 2021 (currently also on Netflix); which is confirmed as being (for me) a genuine 5-Star (i.e. top-rated) movie.
I find it absolutely magnificent, completely gripping, and with a sense of mystery and depth that makes it feel like more than just entertainment.
(Note: I have not read the book of Dune - it just doesn't grab me.)
Part Two of Dune has been released this week in the cinemas; and I intend to go - despite its rather extreme length of more than two and a half hours (I watched Part One on TV in three segments, despite its being a bit shorter).
