Denis Villeneuve's Dune
I agree. That's also an interesting thing about the book. Most of the action sequences are alluded to.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune
I thought it was extraordinarily well done. There were a few changes from the book I didn't really love but overall it was very faithful. I also think they picked a weird place to end but overall 4 stars.

I'm Getting Too Old For This Shit
I was on a plane with Danny Glover one time. He was struggling with his carry-on and I gave him a hand with it and whispered "you're getting too old for this shit." He chuckled and said it was the only time that's ever been funny. He was very nice but I left him alone after that.

Many times. If you go to Tivoli, you should see Hadrian's Villa as well. You can do a full or half day tour by bus, or take the train.

Definitely three. Vatican alone is a full day, especially if you do the Scavi. Then you have major archaeological sites, including Forum, Pantheon, Colosseum, etc. When you mix in the museums you can't do that in a day. And then you have the other parts of Rome you want to see, like Spanish Steps, Villa Giulia, Trevi Fountain, etc. Even if you lump things together for convenience you can't see it all in three days.

I agree you should go to Naples. For the purpose of doing the things around Naples, like Pompeii. I spent nearly a week in Pompeii, and have been there four times. I took my honeymoon in Sorrento. That area is absolutely amazing. Naples sucks. If you fly into Newark International, you go into NYC. You don't hang out in Newark.

Succession -- HBO
This was the best episode of the season and it was not even close. It ranks right up there with Boar on the Floor and some other first season gems.

Agreed. Or at least all of you should just spit on him whenever you see him.

Gummies to Mexico ?
You should put them in a baggie and carry them "internally." That way you'll already be used to having stuff crammed up your ass.

If Greg wants, Greg must have. Can somebody please get Cousin Greg a Coca-Cola?

I didn't say do it all in a day. I said do half a day in Naples, see the Museo, eat pizza, do a half day in Herculaneum, do a full day or day and a half at Pompeii. You can hike Vesuvius if you want but I'd rather do any number of other things.

In fairness I said go to Herculaneum and Pompeii, eat pizza, and go to the Museo Nazionale.

Washington DC
they have normal-ish stuff too. FYI if they are serving the pig knuckle, go for it. It's a deep fried ham hock. It's fucking awesome. Sausage sampler, some potato pancakes, some cucumber salad, and two liters of Spaten is the lunch of champions

I cannot stress enough how fantastic Cafe Mozart is. Homemade German food and German beer on tap. Sausage, pork chops, multiple schnitzels, sauerbraten, sauer kraut, red cabbage, potato salad, apple strudel. I mean Jesus Christ

I guess what it really boils down for me is that there are so many AMAZING places to go in Italy. How does Naples even make that list? If there's stuff to do there (like the Museo) you can't do anywhere else? What is it? It seems like the rough equivalent of being a European, coming to the United States to visit, and going to see Tulsa. Why?

Good to know. I will check it out at some point.

1995, 1997, and 2004. Like I said I'm willing to give another try. I'm going to reach out for recommendations from you and others before I do because, again, I really hate Naples.

It's like when people talk about how much they like Baltimore. I'm just utterly flabbergasted.

I admit I am totally befuddled by love for Naples. I think it is gross, grimy and boring. But I will give it another try at some point I'm sure.
