I do a movie night once a year and every year we do a different theme. Sometimes it's a pretty normal and straightforward theme, the first year or two I did it was Robert Rodriguez movies (this party is nominally a Cinco de Mayo part) but we quickly ran out of those, so we pick a random theme every year

One year the theme ended up being "movies that got a better "remake'" (we watched the worse versions)

I believe that theme was 2023, it's been a wild fucking 2 years so I can't remember all of the movies we watched, we usually manage to squeeze in about 3

But I remember David Lynch's dune was on the list, as was the Super Mario Bros movie. None of us had actually seen the new Mario movie, so we just kind of took it on faith that it had to be better.

If I had a point to this story, I've long since forgotten what it was, but I've typed it out and I'm gonna post it.
