It’s Monday; the copy editors don’t come to work until Tuesday.*

Fargo Rock City is one of my favorite books. After that, Chuck kind of lost me.

She’s the right age to play Kitty Pryde right now. Marvel needs to get on that, stat.

Star Trek V is not a classic movie. No one, at all, was asking “What does God need with a starship?”

This is a simple game: You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball, maybe remember how many outs there are. You got it?

This is all on Sony, right? Because Marvel’s a well-oiled machine, and Sony is standing next to an exploded car, covered in oil, going “See! I’m like Venom, and Venom made money! Right? I have good ideas! Silver Sable will WORK! Guys?”

“The sexual tension between Anakin and Padmé when they meet again as adults is palpable” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You cannot engineer the pop, you can only pray for it.

I fully admit that I’m an unabashed comic book and comic book movie fan, and I’m only cautiously optimistic about The Eternals movie. Shang-Chi, on the other hand, I want that right now, although I very much want it to be stand alone, with minimal MCU references. After Endgame, now’s the time to broaden the playing…

“Best ‘It Doesn’t Matter Because You’re Going To Be Cheering/Crying At That One Part, You Know The One, Okay, Yes, And That Part Too’: Avengers:Endgame!”

Seriously, what part of “the rich white man has spoken, therefore it is fact” is everyone not getting? Has no one been paying attention in America for the last ~~two years~~four hundred years? Besides, until the Sesame Street/American Horror Story/Community crossover, this is small potatoes.

Organized women with “mastery of body” who interfere in politics? That’s not going play in the Red States. Can I subscribe twice?

6/10/19

With another attempt at the Dark Phoenix story line? Yes.

You leave Doug Ramsey alone! He showed up, he suited up, he deserves some respect! (Didn’t he die? Once or twice? Did anyone care? He was useless without Warlock, and ‘Douglock’ was damn stupid.)

In pre-fight smack talk, Biebs insults Suri; Cruise kills Bieber in first five seconds of fight; referee looks the other way; pay-per-view sets new record; Ewoks sing celebration song; Joe Rogan does boiler plate post-match interview; Cruise announces new MI:# movie. We are all entertained.

I loved the original Longshot miniseries, and seeing this brand-new character interact with the Marvel universe (She-Hulk! Spider-Man!), but when they pulled all the concepts into the orbit of the must-consume-all X-franchise, it didn’t really work.

6/8/19

Ooooh, we could get the Starjammers! Like the Guardians of the Galaxy, only they’re crap.

1) if there’s no Force Ghost Luke in Rise there will be nerd rioting in the streets (separate from the rioting when Rey turns out to be a clone of Leia)

6/6/19

Um, be vastly jealous of him?

That white jumpsuit the Beyonder wore was... was... I can’t find the words.
