Good Lord, MCU studio execs talking about alternate timelines is the equivalent of MAGA personalities talking about "Radical Left Democrats" to me. Boring and cringe.

CBS will be airing a Billy Joel concert on April 19th from 9 PM to 11 PM. I saw bits of it this Sunday, and I thought he sounded really good. I thought he looked a bit bored singing his old hits...

Disney+ will stream a restored version of 1970 documentary Let It Be next month:

I wanna see if the Beatles were...

I actually saw that film in a theater when it came out. When McNamara was still alive. Informative flick. He lived a very interesting life.

That's crazy. I never understood method acting. There is no need to get THAT into character. As Larry Olivier told Dustin Hoffman: "Dear boy, it's called acting."

Thanks for sharing. I love docs about conspiracy theories.

CBS will be broadcasting Billy Joel's 100th concert at Madison Square Garden on April 14 from 9 PM to 11 PM:

I would prefer to watch each and every MCU project if at all possible. And Marvel Studios made that easier by releasing a couple of two-hour movies a year for most of the Infinity Saga. It wasn't...

I've seen a lot of people defending the current MCU as saying this saga is structured more like the comics. Just a bunch of stories all over the place. Well, let's be honest. It's REALLY not people's...

Interesting Financial Times interview with activist investor Nelson Peltz. Says he wants to "help" Iger, not fire him. And he questions Feige's record at Marvel. Peltz and his supporters object to...

Thoroughly enjoyed reading The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder recently. David Grann is one of my favorite non-fiction authors working today. The research he did was awesome and his...

I consider the live-action versions of comic book characters to be totally original, new and unique, so that's why I quite enjoyed Namor's introduction. The essence of Namor was still very present to...

I liked the MCU's version of Namor. But I don't think the general moviegoing audience really knows who he is at this point. Marvel Studios has failed to do a good job introducing new characters...

PBS will be airing Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros later this month or early next month:

Lots of people seemed to like this one. Especially foodies....

Funny how you mention Ireland in this post. The ONLY thing I'm looking forward to on Hulu/Disney+ is the television adaptation of Patrick Keefe's OUTSTANDING book Say Nothing. The story of the...

Wasn't a huge fan of Wakanda Forever, but I definitely had no problem with Namor's introduction.

I don't think the MCU is embracing common sense in its movie making process these days, unfortunately. I'm actually okay with characters like the Hulk and War Machine starring or co-starring in shows...

I think the days of supporting characters of OTHER supporting characters getting their own MCU shows are coming to an end. If Disney/Marvel had done a decent job of making those projects even...

I think you can skip the shows and still understand the movies. BUT the experiences of watching the films ARE enhanced by watching the television stuff. In the 2010s, viewing a couple of MCU movies...

Wanda: Is that why you've come? To end the Avengers?

Ultron: I've come to save the world. But also...Yeah.

I thought Marvel banter was so good...

Too much MCU. Back in the good old days, we only had to watch 4-6 hours a year worth of movies. Now we have to watch over 20 hours worth of movies and shows per year, and folks aren't down with that....

At least Baron Strucker and Ultron were funny though.

I'm not sure fans are going to be interested in even MORE prolonged exposition about time travel in ANOTHER MCU film. Where characters are both alive and dead at the SAME TIME. It was confusing in...

Wonder if a third Hollywood strike in would force the MCU to cancel projects because they will have delay even more of their movies/shows being released:

Many Hollywood studios shoot their films and shows in the UK, which gives them generous tax breaks of 25%. And yet, even with this "tax relief", I think many of these studios are STILL losing money...
