4/3 – 10/3/24 – Dune 2, Ping Pong & Fastest Man

Welcome to Monday’s News on the March – The week that was in my digital world.

Awe Strikes Back in Dune 2
Movie Review at Reely Bernie

Before I read Bernie’s article, I was willing to hold out for the weekend to see Dune 2 with the kids, but his brilliant review got me on my high-horse to see it first thing. I’m going to see it again with them this weekend.

I wanted to do a ‘Friday’s Finest’ of Dune 2 last Friday, but I realised I could never top Bernie’s outstanding article. Basterd. So I thought I’d slot him in here at Monday’s News on the March.

Theatrical movie releases at the beginning of the year are predictably rancid. Only a colossal sandworm can devour the memory of The Beekeeper, Mean Girls, and Argylle.

Thankfully, that worm arrived on February 29 to represent the second part of Director Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of the Dune universe. And, like his first effort nearly three years ago, Dune: Part 2 is an enthralling exercise in awe—both practically wrought and imaginatively immense.

Ep2. Ping Pong With Pineapple | 24 Hours with Roger: Shanghai Edition | UNIQLO
Video presentation at UNIQLO

I have missed watching the wizardry of Roger’s tennis game on the world stage, so I thought this might alleviate the cravings. This was fun and I hope you enjoy it too.

Roger engages in a heated match of table tennis against an unlikely opponent: seven-year-old Gui Duoer (aka Pineapple).

The Fastest Man Alive | Bolt
Video presentation by Olympics

Every now and then I like to revisit some of the greatest human sporting achievements. They might include; the documentary Bobby Fischer Against the World, Mohammad Ali’s victory in Rumble in the Jungle or How George Foreman took back his title. It was nice to get this Usain Bolt video in my feed since it had been a long time since I viewed his remarkable feats and long standing domination of the sport.

Step into the electrifying world of Usain Bolt, the legendary sprinter whose lightning-fast speed redefined the Olympic Games. In this video we look back at the extraordinary journey of the fastest man on Earth as he blazed his way through the Olympic history books.
