This shot of Aslan singing Narnia into existence is pure magic. Okay, maybe I do like Greta Gerwig's vision after all.
A shot from the Narnia trailer of Aslan seen from behind in silhouette, stands against a dazzling explosion of swirling blue, pink and golden light as he sings Narnia into existence. The dramatic sky illuminates a dark, rocky landscape, capturing the magical moment of creation.

Whatever my reservations about Greta Gerwig’s Narnia adaptation, this shot beautifully captures the magic of The Magician’s Nephew. The juxtaposition of the gritty Edwardian London streets with the fantastical, visual foreshadowing of Strawberry's fate. What a shot.
A scene from Greta Gerwig’s The Magician’s Nephew depicting a gritty Edwardian London street. A young Digory Kirke stands beside a large brown horse harnessed to a cart, with a dark green moving truck parked behind them. A white wing painted on the truck appears to extend from the horse, Strawberry’s back, cleverly foreshadowing his transformation into the winged horse Fledge.

Greta Gerwig's Narnia trailer just dropped and it looks stunning and wonderfully cosmic, just not very Narnia. It feels more psychedelic than anything C.S. Lewis might have envisioned. Still, Gerwig knows Lewis's work and has a compelling vision, so I'll reserve judgment until the movie comes out.

From Pennywise in IT to Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Mr. Hector in Home Alone 2 to Wadsworth in Clue, there are very few actors who can capture sinister charm, gleeful menace and sheer theatricality and Tim Curry was one of them. RIP to a cinematic icon.

Ugh, this one hurts. Not only did I and countless others grow up watching her in Home Alone, but she was iconic in Schitt's Creek and she got her start at Second City Toronto alongside Eugene Levy, John Candy and many others. We lost a comedic legend. RIP Catherine O'Hara.

This wasn't just a random account. This deranged and vile post was from the U.S. president. Just when you thought Trump can sink no lower, he critisizes the tragic murder of a beloved filmmaker for the sake of his own vanity. Rob Reiner is more of a man than Trump will ever be.
Post from Donald Trump:

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J.

Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!
