AND there is this good news:

Seems like everybody’s getting out while the getting’s good — or at least adequate.

Dreamcatcher was probably where I got off the Stephen King train. I was working for Borders at the time, and we got a bunch of really nice ARCs about a month before pub date — hardcovers with real book jackets, practically retail editions — and I took one home over the weekend to read. And I remember getting hooked…

Look, it’s a general rule that you can’t call a movie “Dreamcatcher” (or variants thereof) unless it involves baby monsters coming out of people’s butts.

In Disney related news, Abigail Disney continues to call the company out for their shitty practices.

Sara Lance as Captain Kirk and Ava Sharpe as Spock is the most perfect thing I have ever seen. Plus, it also feeds into the Kirk/Spock ship. (I assume that Mick is Bones in this parody — and I will give everything to see him say, “Dammit, Sara, I’m a thief, not a damn doctor!”)

The  weirdest thing about that Quibi show with Anna Kendrick and the sex doll is that she is apparently dating Donal Logue in it. (Both Anna Kendrick and the sex doll, I guess)

It’s QUIBI, so somewhere in between, I guess?

Im sorry but I must be going quarantine crazy because that Anna Kendrick show is definitely a late night sketch and not a real thing right?

It’s why we got movies based on the Shadow and the Phantom back in the ‘90s; the people in charge of the studios were all over 60 and had never heard of any superheroes created after WWII. I mean, the only reason why the Phantom movie got made was because it was producer Robert Evans’ favorite comic strip when he was…

“Y’know, we should take another pass at Green Hornet! Everyone loves Green Hornet. Think of the built in brand recognition!”

I think Deadpool counts as maybe X-Men-adjacent at best. I mean, yeah, the characters appear in the movies, but in versions we never see in the main series, or as an out-of-timeline gag for a quick laugh.

is there no other X-Men story to tell?

At this point does the Fox X-Men series have any kind of fanbase? I imagine there are people who like individual performances and movies, but the franchise is twenty years old and maybe only half of them hold up. I tried to rewatch the 2000 original a few years back and couldn’t get over how cheap it looked. As Tom…

I can see Deadpool and a couple of his cast making it into the MCU through some whateverthehell, but yeah, anyone from the main Fox series has basically no chance at playing the role again.

I imagine that’s in the same genre as “why, sure I’d like to get a paying job in a movie that might or might not get made” celebrity interviews. After Dark Phoenix, I imagine we’ve seen the last of any of the Fox X-Men. 

Sophie Turner is the only person who wants Sophie Turner back in the role of Jean Grey.

Ugh. No more Sophie Turner Jean Grey.
