No matter how dorky they try to make him, it’s still adorable Freddie Stroma.

$30 million for an hour-long pilot that features period fantasy costumes and likely an abundance of special effects is actually about what one would have expected it to cost. I would imagine that it would include a substantial pay or play deal for Naomi Watts that kicked in when the full series was not picked up. A…

It should always be “by accident”, but “on accident” seems to be a vernacular version that is becoming more popular. Grammatically, it is certainly wrong, but it’s like when some British people, and now some affected Americans, increasingly say something is “different to” another thing. It is wrong. Things are…

Yeah, she was promoted in the trailers because she’s a popular star and she’s in the movie. Josh Brolin, also a popular star, not in the movie much, but you wouldn’t know it until you actually see the movie. Of course anyone who knows the bare minimum of the story —meaning they, like me, have seen the various edits of…

Post-credit scene for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Obvious, no?

Spider-Mans is totally right in all of its wrongness

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was also there, and casually announced “We are already working on another non-Black Widow-related, top-secret Marvel Studios project with her as a producer.” This is weird, primarily because Johannson filed a lawsuit just this past July against Disney which alleged that the pivot…

It is likely because of her comic origin as an Inhuman, which was introduced in non-canonical stories, such as Agents of SHIELD and Inhumans

Frankly, I doubt that Marvel would cast Henry Cavill as anyone in the MCU before he is well and truly finished playing Superman at DC/Warner Brothers. Cavill musing about Captain Britain is just spitballing. He has also said that he doesn’t feel that he is done with Superman yet, so it is unlikely that Marvel would…

There’s a joke in there somewhere, I’m just not sure what or where it is —or if it’s even worth bothering to look

We shouldn’t be surprised to hear that celebrities’ “public images” good or bad are often very different (and often the opposite) of how they are in real life. Sometimes it’s nice to see personal growth —whatever the reason why.

Clearly, it’s Holland, Garfield, Maguire and,

I would like to think that Charlie Cox knows more than he is telling us and he is trying to mitigate rabid expectations.

I have a hard time forgiving any movie that blows up Mark Strong (good or evil version).

It’s possible that it will be able to make Hawkman more entertaining if they don’t have to figure out what to do with him for an entire season.

Well, I love everyone who was in Gunpowder Milkshake, but . . .

I wonder if they were a non-union set?

Exactly. And that’s what we call “coasting”. He’s lucky he can still milk some cash out of not doing too much. 

Apparently, these kinds of low budget, cheesy action movies are all Bruce Willis does anymore. He could probably do better if he really wanted to, but it’s likely that can’t get better work, and he doesn’t want to just do nothing. He is not particularly beloved by other actors or directors, and that really matters…

I really liked Blade Runner 2049, but I can see how a less accommodating studio might have cut out about 40 minutes of the movie. It might have made more money that way, but it would have lost a lot of the depth and sheer visual beauty that make it special. I just watched it recently, and it’s really a beautifully…
