RE-RE Extinction I think are flawed but still entertaining films. Everything past that has been pretty horrible but not really bad enough to fall into the so bad it's good level. I think my biggest issue is the actors they keep adding are getting worse and worse with each entry same goes for the CGI and groan inducing 3D sequences.

Dune is getting another film adaptation (though it sounds like they are potentially going to do multiple movies, whether it's one per book or multiple per book remains to be seen). Directed by Denis Villeneuve, most recently of Arrival fame, which gives me cautious optimism. Arrival was definitely focused on a cerebral story and wasn't afraid of some mind screw, both of which are very important for a proper Dune adaptation.

I do not envy Villeneuve's position.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Dune is a lot better suited to being a TV show. Would make a lot more sense to prep it as a show to slide into HBO's lineup after Game of Thrones ends, for instance.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Dune would be a tough film to make. I think you would need multiple films just to translate the first book onto screen.
And let's be honest here, the first third of Dune is... kind of boring. There's a lot of world building. It pays off by the end of the book, but it would be hard for me to sit and watch a full length movie that does nothing but sets up what will happen in the following movies.
I fell asleep during Fellowship of the Rings for exactly this reason.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Do you all know what your problem is, folks? Not enough crap in your diet. Well, good ol' Ack is here to deliver:
Equalizer 2000, AKA Defender 2000
Richard Norton and the jaw-dropping Corinne Wahl(now Alphen) star in this post-apocalyptic Mad Max-knock off set in the desert wasteland of Alaska in the future. Much of Alaska is ruled by the evil fascist group The Ownership, of which Richard Norton's character is a member. But then an ambitious Ownership officer murders his father and then tries to kill him. So what's a guy to do? Defect, help a hot babe fight off guys dressed like Civil War soldiers(one of whom is a young Robert Patrick), and build a super weapon M-16 that apparently has multiple grenade launchers and shotgun barrels added to it because you can!
Did I mention this was filmed in the Philippines? Yeah, that's gonna be important later.
Anyway, so Richard Norton makes a super weapon with the help of some guys that are really terrible actors and then decides to get revenge on the evil Ownership. But the Ownership finds out about the gun, so the evil officer goes after Norton and ends up taking it(while Robert Patrick totally dies). The evil officer then assassinates the leader of the Ownership and takes over. But that's ok, because Richard Norton gets a sex scene with a Penthouse Pet and then helps the disparate rebels attack the Ownership. And then the generic Native American/Eskimos show up to help them.
You remember how I said this was filmed in the Philippines? Well, all the Native American/Eskimos are played by Filipinos, with added war paint and dubbed-over totally-not-racist Indian whooping sounds!
In the end Richard Norton kills the evil officer and ends the Ownership...though only after hot stuff Corinne Wahl is totally murdered in a spray of blood involving what I think were supposed to be squibs but actually acted more like water hoses of blood. And then Richard Norton steps outside and smashes his gun, and all the Filipino Native American/Eskimos give up their spears and bows and arrows, and a couple of other guys chuck their rifles on a campfire. Then Richard Norton drives away.
Pray he's still out there. Pray he's...wait, I think I saw these same cars in Wheels of Fire, that other Mad Max rip-off movie I watched last month.
Before I leave you though, I do have one important note: Richard Norton did eventually appear in a proper Mad Max movie, as a stunt performer, the fight coordinator, and as an actor:
Richard Norton as the Prime Imperator in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Oh, one other thing. Richard Norton was also totally in this:
Awesome.
