—
in Geek stuffThis is a fascinating video for movie fans or birdwatchers. And if you’re a birdwatching movie fan then this video is a must-watch. VOX explains the haunting call of the loon, and how it became an iconic, though oftentimes geographically inappropriate, background sound in movies to add a sense of foreboding.

in HorrorMovies that aren’t horror movies, but should be. Here’s the TL;DW Emma discusses remaking non-horror movies into horror films, focusing on unique premises that could be twisted into dark narratives.

TED-Ed: Why should you read “Dune” by Frank Herbert
—

It clearly deserves to sit on the shelf with the greatest literary works, but Dune isn’t science fiction. People commonly use the genre science fiction as a catchall for any story that takes place in the future, or…

We Have WORM SIGN!
It’s probably not a shocker that February is generally a slow month for movies. Every few years we get a Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, or Deadpool movie in February, but those are the exceptions.

Meet the RunPee Family
I get a few user support emails each week and it’s always amusing to me to discover that many people think that RunPee is a company. And that’s not really the case at all. We’re a family and a pretty small one at that. Maybe a few people out there would find it interesting to see…

Movie Review – Dune: Part Two
—
I have read all of Frank Herbert’s DUNE books many times, and a few that were written by his son Brian. I can unequivocally say that the DUNE is my favorite science fiction series. The depth of the universe that Herbert creates is rivaled only by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. This is why it…
