But it beats doing homework!

Tom Cruise is still good for a bigger opening than King Arthur: Legend of Kung-Fu George managed. He pretty much single-handedly pushed Oblivion to a $37M first weekend, for example. Add in misplaced 90s-kid nostalgia for the original franchise and I think The Mummy opening around $45M is a pretty safe bet.

And we thought he was weirdly attached to Flynn… that the beloved Javanka may be lmplicated will ensure that he never, ever stops digging himself deeper even when he pops out upside down in the Indian Ocean.

Brand extension! That noblest of points!

The marvel subfranchises do have a shelf life. They have yet to make anybody a fourth solo movie. You get your trilogy and then you merge into the blob of established characters who can spice up other characters' solo films, a la Iron Man in Spider-Man.

Why don't our shins have butts?

They're not contradictory statements? The 'organic diversity' emerged in the later films once they shed the three generic white guys.

I'm having a similar realization with the new Pirates of the Caribbean coming up. There's a lot of franchises getting stre-e-e-e-etched out over multiple decades. Hugh Jackman played Logan for 17 years. A Bourne movie came out last year even though we all forgot it already.
Incredibles 2 will come out 14 years after

Perhaps it was actually written by Jack Black pretending to be Mike White in order to make rent.

Without an R rating they'll never be able to do a deep dive on the plight of the eggplant emoji.

It's the same point as a dozen other shitty movies. It's like Bee Movie or Antz or Divergent. It's like the default attempt at a point.

Narrowly-averted-jonx.

A worrying number of the collected tweets amount to "best DCEU movie" which is damning with faint praise to say the least, but it's still probably enough for me to go see it.

It is as if, after having an unrelated disagreement over movie trivia in a bar, Trump has challenged Usain Bolt to a 100-yard dash or John Cena to a cage match to the death.

The 'more creative' setting is doing a perfectly fine job naming Welsh paint colors.

Lol Jason Chaffetz has opted to quit Congress next month. He really wants to get back to his private life of not being able to look his wife or daughter in the eye I guess.

Wow, so nostalgic looking back on the wacky Trump quotes of… last week.

Apparently Mikey Day, in addition to David Pumpkins, co-wrote Kevin Roberts and Space Pants, as well as Kylo Ren Undercover Boss (which based on how much I still see it referenced on the internet 2+ years later is one of SNL's most popular recent sketches). He seems pretty well-positioned to become the next cast MVP

The Mayor looks pretty fun and it's definitely a better use of Yvette than The Odd Couple was. Other than that there's literally zero new network shows that appeal to me.
