Despite my post-SDCC excitement over the Jonsson casting news, the rest of the MCU strategy seems to be forever reheating nachos and assuming nerds will slop up whatever they’re given. (Yeah, I’m livid about the Wonder Man season 2 cancellation after the pickup.)

This whole thread and not just because it’s kind to me! I will at some point actually write up some thoughts on being interviewed for this click bait cycle by various outlets. It was…not great.

In 2013 I vividly remember seeing this ad as part of the Cover Girl “capitol collection” tied to Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Something distinctly/appropriately dystopian about giving the coal mining district a smoky eye.

Yup. Exactly my experience with a recent publisher, which I will never be working with again based on my experience. More disheartening than these cost cutting moves is the absolutely lack of understanding or action from the press/editors.

Here's a tier list some of them did (and we all debated) on the screenings this semester (pre-Phantom of the Paradise screening, which is obviously S-tier)
