If they are attempting to tie everything in this phase together and they want a loose tie to Dr. Strange, with Dr. Strange and Captain Marvel being the two ‘foundation’ characters of this phase, I would put my money on her playing a variant of this character.

Most of the time, rejection is not a well told story.  Rejection is a tiny event in someone’s life.  And it should be.

Not really. The distribution system for comic books is singularly designed to prevent an influx of new customers. When I was 5-9 years old, a kid could find comics in convenience stores, supermarkets, etc... in other words, places where the foot traffic of their parents would naturally lead them. Today comic books are…

There are a few theaters open in Charlotte.

That’s always a problem with casting James Marsden as anything. Even though the guy is 47 (!) and they actually cast that relationship age-appropriate to the book, Marsden looks like he’s about 28 years old, which completely ruins the attempt to cast him as a 45-50 year old man.

I think they’ve tried to give Harold the most depth out of any of the characters in the cast, but even having done that, they’ve still almost completely missed the boat with him. They’ve gone so far in the direction of making him a pathetic loser that they’ve stripped away the things that made him very dangerous in…

In the book, anal sex was on the table and acted upon and Nadine herself grew sort of frustrated with the situation in her inner monologue, wondering what was so special about vaginal sex in comparison to all of the other degrading things she was allowing to happen to herself.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I think she probably has good reason and everything she’s saying is probably true and also that WW84 gave her ‘fuck you’ money to be able to say whatever she was going to say in interviews.  But I also tend to know Hollywood types and typically if you’ve been out in the wilderness for 14 years…

Her version seems, at best, a little self-serving and not very accurate. She directed Monster in 2002. It was released in 2003. Her next film was Wonder Woman and it wasn’t released until 14 years later. She had occasional stints as a television director, but the notion that everyone wanted her after Monster seems…

I think the reason that at least some people expected better was because by the time The Phantom Menace dropped, Timothy Zahn had written 5 Star Trek novels, thus proving this material could be elevated beyond what Lucas did.  Don’t get me wrong.  None of Zahn’s books were ever going to win the American Book Award or…

I imagine most of the mail-in ballots favor Biden because Trump spent months telling his supporters not to use mail-in ballots.

That was my immediate thought when I first saw the trailer for this yesterday while I was watching a letting a football game play in the background with the sound off.  Jonathan and Martha Kent.  The earlier years.  Before he allowed a tornado to swallow him to make some point that still nobody gets.

All of these comments about the best Dracula are clearly ignoring Zoltan, the Hound of Dracula, who was the best Dracula as well as the best boy.

I seriously doubt this new film will be able to measure up to the soundtrack of The Craft either.  Long after my memories of the actual film drifted into background noise, I still listened to that.

You would have been absolutely appalled by rudeness of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.

To clarify for you, Shannon,

Halloween II leaned heavily into the ‘serial killer choosing varied and supposedly inventive ways to kill’ fad that had come into vogue to sustain the mini-genre in all the slasher movies made in the wake of the first one.  It suffered for doing that, because it relied more on ‘set pieces’ than the type of linear,…

In one of the World of Warcraft expansions, there was a pet rabbit you had to find and take back to his owner.  Somehow, they coded the rabbit to both hold aggro against everything and be virtually invulnerable.  So you could use him to tank all of the roaming elite creatures you couldn’t otherwise kill on your own. …

The Game of Thrones mode for CK2 probably ruined me on ever trying to find another CK2 computer game, because nothing will ever match it.  In some ways, it sucks they’ve moved on to Ck3, because I can’t see anyone putting in the sheer amount of time and devotion it must have taken to create that, especially since the…

In a video game, I would never get away from save scumming dice roll failures on skill checks.  In a tabletop setting, it’s a completely different feeling.  Failing dice rolls feels like part of the experience.  In a video game, it always feels like nothing by a developer created nuisance to set you back in some…
