I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Agreed. The whole movie felt sterile, without any emotional involvement. I've read the books, saw the OG movie, the TV series, and all of them did the revolt against atriedes right. This movie plodded along so slowly, that I forgot they were fleeing for their lives. Also, Zendaya. I don't understand her popularity. She's got this weird squashed face so having her portray the love interest, Chani, is weird. I don't get her as MJ in Spiderman for the same reason.

Do you recommend all the books (even the one his son wrote)? I read the 1st one but didn't love it

If you didn't love the first one, I doubt you'll like the others. I haven't read all of them yet, but everyone I know who has read them all always started by enjoying the world of the first one first.
