Dune pt 2

-

 I just watched Dune Part 2. Overall, not too bad. For someone who's never read the books, or seen the 2 previous iterations, they'll probably like it quite a bit. The good; The special effects were outstanding. I was impressed with the sets and how they shot the camera angles. The action was decent and the dialogue as well. Austin Butler did a good job of the psychotic Feyd, and Dave Batista was a perfect fit for Raban. The rest of the cast did fine too. In my opinion, all good picks.


The not-so-good; When a book is well written, and you've read it many times, you tend to cringe a bit when it's made into a movie. The Director always has HIS vision. That usually means he's going to change things around and make additions that were NOT in the book, as well as removing some that were. This happened in Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, much to their detriment. Back to Dune. I love Christopher Walken as an actor, but the emperor was more vigorous in the book, and I think the movie would have benefited from that. Also, why do so many movies feel the need for the girl-boss type? Chani in the book knew Paul's destiny and approved of it. She wasn't like Zendaya's Chani, or should I say Villeneuve's. It was disappointing to say the least.


All that said, I did enjoy the movie and will likely watch it again. I guess in some ways, I'm a bit of a purist. If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it.

Weep for the World

 It's very hard watching a World under Judgement come apart. The West especially is under Judgement from God. About the only thing we haven't done to pervert God's Laws and His order is to normalize pedophilia. It won't be long for that as there's been a push by NAMBLA to that end for over a decade. We murder the innocent unborn in the womb, we have 'normalized' homosexuality, we've 'normalized' the lie of being able to change your sex, or gender, or whatever they're twisting it into these days. We've allowed racial strife to be ramped up in the name of 'equality' or some such. We've become worshippers of the planet or Gaia if you will. We've ascribed human traits to animals. All this perversion and insanity is CELEBRATED while at the same time creating generations with weak minds who will crumble when the whole house of cards comes crashing down. Also, Governments are attacking Biblical Christianity wherever they can get

Because they are EVIL.

  They ARE evil , yet many will ignore it. Many would rather not be told the truth. Why? As the prophet Jeremiah says "The heart of man is evil, who can know it?" Man's heart IS evil. The Bible tells us this. A Biblical worldview tells you this. The Law of God is written on the heart of man. His heart is evil because he KNOWS this and yet ignores it. Do not trust your heart. Rather, trust in God and His ways.  Ramble Ends.

The New Salem Witch Hunt(s)

-
 Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun." We see this with Mankind over and over. Whether it's Israel and their constant straying from God that started almost immediately after they were freed from Egypt all the way through History to heresies in the church to today's return of the love affair with Communism, Man does not change. These days there is a double witch hunt. First up, so-called 'Whiteness'. Go to the vast majority of colleges and you will find both black, white, and many other hues calling for the abolishment of 'Whiteness'. The definition changes from person to person but the cry is the same. White people are evil and the cause of all problems in the world at large. Whites are racist and evil no matter their age. These people are blind to the very bigotry and hate they're spewing. THEY are the ones they're looking for, but they project their faults onto society at large. They are immune to facts or anything that goes aga
