The reason that this year’s movies feel risky is because the MCU doesn’t have narrative momentum right now. From the moment Sam Jackson appeared at the end of Iron Man, there was a destination ahead—The Avengers. From the moment at the end of The Avengers when Thanos showed his face, there was another destination…

Marvel is unlikely to branch out into non-superhero movies for the same reason Pixar is unlikely to launch a live-action division. These companies are subsidiaries of a larger conglomerate, and consistent brand identity is one of their major assets.

I just fucking hate seeing talent people waste their time and energies on these projects. Yes, yes, Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther and all that. But those movies are still ultimately product, and the director will always be subservient to the demands of brand synergy and franchisability and the committee of…

Because he made the statement as himself, then issued the apology after Disney threatened to cut him off from all that sweet, sweet MCU money.

This should be quite a rarity , a marvel movie no one cares about or watches.

MODOK is a fucking treasure, and he’s finally getting his due. That’d be the selling point for me. That it’s packed with this much talent? Gravy.

Joe Rogan is the patron saint of dudes who are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

The AV Club writers could give it a run for its money. At least Bill Maher can afford to buy into the Mets.

I don’t know what the point of this article even is, and I suspect the writer doesn’t either.

Too bad her employees didn’t find working on the show as un-challenging as she did.

it would be very funny if during the oprah interview she came out as straight.

I did a marathon recently where the organisers would promise to plant a tree whenever you got to a certain milestone.

I get a bit of an Excalibur vibe from this, which is amazing.

It’s okay to stand against abuse, to agree Rogen should do everything on that list, and to still dislike Ms. Yi.

I don’t know. “Hurry On Home” was a great single and yet the rest of The Center Won’t Hold, minus like two tracks, was very forgettable. This one is comparatively weaker and it doesn’t make me particularly excited for the new album.

Honestly, everyone shits on Tom Cruise constantly because he is a member of a cult (I GET IT) but ignore good things like his implementation of COVID procedures to keep people employed and now giving back his Globes to use his star status for good. 

Tom Cruise cares. He started the Black Thetans Matter program and everything!
