In theory, yes you can. But there is a very fine line between “dimmed” and “no longer in contact, so it’s off.”

This whole bulb issue, is this even still a thing? Ebert was on this relentlessly in his last ten years or so, but since his death I can’t say I’ve seen it around as a big discussion point. And you can really dim them by partially unscrewing them? That’s unlike any other bulb I can think of but maybe that’s how it…

Also, Nomadland can’t be used as a reason for getting Zhao or anything for Eternals. She shot Eternals, it went into post, she started shooting Nomadland, and then Covid hit. So Eternals got pushed back a year, but since Nomadland was a smaller film, in that year she was able to shoot, edit and release it. So it’s…

The title of this article and then the content make no sense. “Why won’t Marvel trust directors” and then about how Marvel trusted Zhao to do what she wanted. And she’s said nothing but “they let me do what I wanted and were there to help if I needed it.”

I read it as they might potentially not swap bulbs and if they don’t then it’s Feige’s fault. It’s a weird paragraph.

Especially odd considering many of the criticisms involve the idea that Zhao’s style does indeed come through, but fits very poorly with the Marvel story being told. 

There’s a lot of “Eternals is bad but I can’t put any blame on Zhao” stuff from critics right now.

Sir this is an Eternals article 

Let me help. Shakira laments: “Unhelpful boar, attack bystanders!” Unfortunately the boar didn’t attack anyone, thus stopping Shakira’s attempt to become the supervillainess Boar Queen.

Samesies. Sorry babe, but IT’S A WILD FUCKING BOAR. Those things will fuck. you. up.

Apologies to Shakira, but what the hell are you supposed to do in that situation? I'm not gonna fight a boar for a purse

Ferrell’s explanation doesn’t hold water for me. Script rewrites happen all the time. The studio obviously wanted Will for the movie if they genuinely offered $29 million, so that means Will would have had enough pull within production to get the script rewritten if he wanted it. I think James Caan’s explanation…

I’m kind of terrified of how bad this script was, considering he said yes to Bewitched. And Curious George. And Land of the Lost. And Daddy’s Home. And Zoolander 2. And The House. And Daddy’s Home 2. And Downhill.

Should’ve filmed them back-to-back.

This doesn’t leave Sting much time to get in shape. 

Ah yes, my favorite (not-actually favorite) genre of internet comment: “why hasn’t anyone thought to do [thing I came up with in 3 minutes of thinking about topic], it’s probably because these so-called ‘experts’ are idiots, and... what’s that, they’ve also thought of that and I just wasn’t aware..?”

and his Guardians Of The Galaxy movies take place, appropriately, in distant galaxies

There have been instances of the military explicitly NOT giving their approval to Marvel movies and Marvel going ahead without them. “The Avengers” is one, as the US military didn’t like the fact that they were shown to be deferential to the quasi-international SHIELD.

Then how did he get access to all those space ships? Answer that, fancy director man.

Good lord, the “Everything People Enjoy Sucks Actually, LOL” podcast left are the most annoying people on Twitter which is really saying something.
