I’m guessing that Feige is gonna try to top Endgame by digging deep with this stuff. “The multiverse” is narrative duct tape — can be used to patch holes and bridge gaps. Get Ang Lee’s Hulk in there, with Bana and everything. Work out a deal with Norton. They’ve already flirted with getting the old X-Men into the MCU,…

Brie Larson.

It’s funny, I’ve gotten used to googling “[movie I just watched] post credit scene?” as soon as the credits start to roll, but I honestly just thought, “Well, the John Wick movies don’t have post-credit scenes...” and bounced as soon as the credits started.

I was laughing out loud at him falling down all those stairs multiple times. It was like something from The Simpsons. It was wonderful.

I saw this as a live-stream screening through Alamo Drafthouse at the height (nadir?) of the pandemic! I recall it being an absolute delight and completely batshit.

We’ve been hearing about “superhero fatigue” for ages now. It’s total clickbait for the people addicted to reading about other people failing. Superhero movies aren’t going anywhere, Horror movies aren’t going anywhere — there will always be an audience for these genres.

Reddick always brought a sense of gravitas to anything he appeared in. First time I saw him was in OZ playing an undercover cop and I hope people discover that series because I loved it back in the day.

It felt like a speedrun of the game! It’s weird because it was VERY faithful to the game’s beats — especially those final beats with Joel and Marlene in the garage, flashing forward to the car ride, then flashing back to the rest of the scene in the garage.

I was really expecting that Jane storyline to be devastating — and instead, it feels strangely slight.

I was a fan of Taika’s up until Thor Love & Thunder... at which point, the issues that other people had been whining about became more glaring.

This explainer copied and pasted from elsewhere on the internets:

Republicans celebrating that Disney is now going to “pay their fair share” don’t realize that Disney, through the RCID, has always been paying MORE than their fair share and that this bill will not impact their tax burden in EITHER direction.

It’s political theater.

When I was a little kid in the 80s, the original Children of the Corn was one of the scariest movies to me. Just seemed like the biggest taboo, to be kids killing grownups. Grownups are the ones who keep all the order! Today, I can imagine sympathizing with kids taking control over all the shitty adults.

Spielberg’s technically involved with the Duffer Bros adaptation of The Talisman, though he really should just do his own King adaptation. Get Tony Kushner adapting Stephen King!

Definitely. One of the big things for me is Spielberg talking about how he’d lose about half his crew for the creepy-crawly scenes in Raiders (snakes), Temple (insects), and Crusade (rats). In Crystal Skull, he’s got giant CGI ants. I’m sure it was easier to shoot but there’s just no sense of danger watching it. Then…

I know he obviously stepped back from directing it but I’m curious how much Spielberg helped with shepherding the project to where it’s ended up.

This should be the mascot of this article.

Looks like this is the colonoscopy corner. One really bad night was bad enough, I can only imagine what a week of that would be like.

Took my dad there for Father’s Day last year — he loved it! (Actually double-booked dining reservations, so we had appetizers at San Angel Inn and then lunch in Space, and he easily preferred Space.) I was expecting the ride up into space was going to be more intense, but it’s not a motion-simulator. Still a fun…
