Can’t trust that day. But I went to my first movie in two years on Friday and, even with only about two dozen people in a 300 seat theatre, it felt, for a moment, frighteningly normal. Which is to say, I don’t know how to behave anymore and should probably just stick to my hermitage? Anyway, Dune was great. A lot of Hollywood action movie aficionados will be upset by it, but I loved every slowburn moment of it.
