I found the Maverick! 

Oh, no, no, you’re a smart guy. You’ve clearly picked up some flashy tricks. But you made one crucial mistake. You forgot about the essence of the game... it’s about the Cones.

Silver Lake is one of the most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods in L.A.

Yeah, the idea of “embiggen” is kinda weird. Stretchy super powers in live action are just kinda awkward. Plus if we do get Mr. Fantastic eventually, we don’t want repeat powers.

My big disappointment is that we won’t be able to see her get big:

The US shouldn’t be lagging that far behind in vaccinations. Especially with the efforts the federal government have been putting forward compared to others.

as not-Muslim-but-still-brown guy who grew up in the 80's/90's, i was joking-but-not-really-joking the other day that it will be nice to have the Russians as the bad guys again.

meaning immediate lockdowns are the knee jerk reaction.

you must accept that everybody will catch Omicron sooner or later.

Good thing America declared the pandemic over, so there’s nothing to worry about anymore.

Maybe not. I just pay attention to BBA beers because I like them :P 

The incels loved Rogue One. They thought it was the only good Disney movie (although a ton of them also love Rise of Skywalker because of all of the easter eggs). And why would they hate it? A cast of thinly-written minorities with no characters arcs who die solely to set up several movies worth of adventures for an…

TLJ’s Luke is understandable.

Carter had trouble with the economy on a short-term basis but was slowly regaining control. Reagan’s policy is the reason income inequality has soared in the last 40 years. Under Reagan, the rich got exponentially richer, and the poor exponentially poorer. Reagan war against government regulations, the social safety…

There’s a good movie in that first forty-five minutes when you forget that your hero is an unapologetic Confederate soldier whose whole backstory is trauma because his family died of dysentery. There’s a ton of chemistry between him and his adopted Martian mom and that dog is adorable.

Still a good movie that the studio deliberately set out to kill.

Can I be completely honest? They all sound like generic titles to me. I can agree that John Carter is the most generic, but I wouldn’t be in a rush to go see John Carter of Mars or A Princess of Mars (which although the least generic, does make it sound like Lynn Collins would be the lead, not Taylor Kitsch).

Disney did, for sure, scuttle its chances of even being a mediocre blockbuster, though. The PR in advance if its theatrical release was downright criminal in its scarcity.

For a while I remember seeing monthly articles and reddit posts about how the criticism of this film was viscous libel and it was actually a solid summer blockbuster. It just isn’t.
