Heard an interview with Aaron Sorkin where he insisted this wasn't a sequel to The Social Network. The marketing team is not backing him up here...

It's summer 1983 and my grandparents are asking me "what is this whole return of the jedi (pronounced JE-dee) thing" they keep hearing about. My 12-year-old brain can't comprehend how it is even possible to be so out of touch. It's 2026 and there is SO much popular shit I've never heard of.

So these "added scenes" are just post-credit teaser ads. Have to admit that's marginally better than cramming them into the movie. I recall people buying tickets for Meet Joe Black just to see the Phantom Menace trailer. Wonder if people will do the same & show up 3 hours late just for the credits.

Bat-Take! Batman shouldn't be the world's greatest detective. He has too many other skills & abilities that take a lifetime to hone. Adding Poroit level detective skills is just a hat on a hat. It's too much! And don't get me started on Superman's random ability to shoot hot lasers from his eyes...

I don't understand the movie business. Zach Cregger's last movie was a hit with audiences & critics, made 270 mil against a 38 mil budget, won an academy award. His follow-up is a movie in his proven genre, based on one of the most popular video games in the world. It gets dumped in September?

The use of fake light flares in movies has driven me to the point of distraction. In Supergirl the sun is ALWAYS shining directly at the camera from every window and door. In this scene the sun moves from one shot to the next. As soon as she steps outside the sun disappears.

I can't tell if Lanterns is serious about this "alien detector" thing. That's some silver age comics magical tech, but everyone says "alien detector" with a straight face.

Schrader has always been a contrarian lunatic. I'm surprised that so many fans are suddenly shocked and disappointed by his behavior. Anyway, it's not like he's ever actually going to get this movie made.

I think about what Roger wrote about Dolly Parton in his 9 TO 5 review any time I think of her: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nine...

“Nine to Five” is a good-hearted, simple-minded comedy that will win a place in film history, I suspect, primarily because it contains the movie debut of Dolly Parton. She is, on the basis of this one film, a natural-born movie star, a performer who holds our attention so easily that it’s hard to believe it’s her first film.

There have been other debuts this unmistakable; you could name Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, John Travolta. And what you’d be talking about in each case would not necessarily be a great dramatic performance in an important movie. You’d be talking about a quality of presence, a personal life force that seems to take over the screen.

“Nine to Five” is only a fairly successful comedy. It has some very funny moments, and then it has some major ingredients that don’t work, including some of its fantasy sequences. But then it also has Dolly Parton. And she contains so much energy, so much life and unstudied natural exuberance that watching her do anything in this movie is a pleasure. Because there have been so many Dolly Parton jokes (and doubtless will be so many more), I had better say that I’m not referring to her sex appeal or chest measurements. Indeed, she hardly seems to exist as a sexual being in this movie. She exists on another plane, as Monroe did: She is a center of life on the screen.

In "Peanuts," Charlie Brown first wrote to his pencil-pal on August 25, 1958. (This concept always resonated with me since I had a pen-pal in Italy when I was a kid.) Here's his first letter and that sequence:

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

I've become perversely fascinated by how awful The Avengers movie will be. Every creative decision so far has felt desperate and sad. But I didn't expect it to look like an AI fan video of the Snyderverse.
