The Wild Eric

When the summer's only overperformers are superhero movies while everything else goes in line or below expectations. (Yes I know Baby Driver, don't @ me)

For the record, all of the times are in PST.

Reviews are now up, though the RT score hasn't been updated for some reason. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wish_upon

Bruh...

That's what I was trying to say.

It should be noted D23 isn't really used as a place to launch trailers or footage. To my knowledge, Wrinkle in Time is the only time a trailer launched during the expo to the general public. But I'm sure we'll get a lot of livetweets and liveblogs describing any footage or concept art, so that's at least something.

I really should get around to watching these movies.

On the movie side, all the Pixar and WDAS announcements are gonna be exciting, but I'm probably most excited for the Wrinkle in Time movie. Everything I've heard about the movie makes it sound like it's gonna be something very special, so I can't wait to see the first footage. And as a scheduling nerd, I hope Disney updates their slate and reveals what the untiteld movies are and who gets what slot. Haven't really paid close attention to the theme park stuff, but I know Star Wars Land is gonna be iconic, and there are rumors of some changes to Jungle Cruise, which definitely has me curious. Hopefully, it isn't just an animatronic of The Rock and nothing else.

Apologies for going back to 1992, but this was just a fascinating trivia factoid I had to share. So I watched Basic Instinct for my Film Studies class last semester (for those wondering about my opinion, I thought it was overall pretty decent, although the film definitely loses some of its spark when Catherine Trammel isn't on screen), and my professor told my class that the film was originally released on DVD with an ice pick. A little weird for the studio releasing the DVD with a murder weapon, but it's a nice touch.

Umm...we'll talk about that when the time comes.
