Anyone watching Dune Prophesy tonight? I don't know how it didn't occur to me that the Harkonen's started the Bene Gesseret.

Definitely. Although he's male and even more powerful, Paul is basically the ultimate Bene Gesseret plus his Arrakis powers such as controlling the worms.

I watched Deadpool & Wolverine so I could understand why Jennifer Garner was showing up in commercials again... It was not good.

I'm probably not the target audience (although I enjoyed the 1st one, have enjoyed most MCU/comic movies, and have been reading comics on and off for 35 years), but it was just very 'meh' and seemed to want to use music/action/1-liners in place of a useful plot (and I get that's part of Deadpool's shtick, but there are better ways to do it).
It actually reminded me of Ice Age 5 which i had to take my kids to many moons ago; someone came up with some set pieces designed to work with catchy songs and then tried to stitch them together into a movie.
With all the hype and marketing I was honestly expecting something at least slightly better
The cameos alone made it a great movie.im not sure what you were expecting-it was a fun movie where we saw Wolverine back on the screen for the first time in years

I don't know what I was expecting either TBH, but the 'fun' just didn't really land for me. Which as I said is fine, and exactly why streaming services (and Blockbuster back in the day) exist, so you can check stuff like this out without worrying about the cost of movie tickets
