I just saw a billboard that had character models from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. A costumed Peter Parker lays his hand on a costumed Miles Morales' shoulder against the backdrop of New York City. The caption, written in a chalk-like font, reads:

 

"Everything you say and do has an impact."

I love me some communism in the meantime

i mean, TV movies aren't eligible for the oscars. I say good for him for acting on something he believes strongly in.

Every time I read about the actual Serenity movie I think its about the Firefly related version (that combi I )

[Brainbug]

Serenity (2005) is awesome in a good way.

 

Serenity (2019) is awesome in a hilariously bad way.

 

One can have a good time with both. But the enjoyment factor of the latter can be heavily upgraded with alcohol.

And here I thought Kermit was the only Disney character to cross paths with Sesame Street.

Looking forward to The Simpsons popping up in Wreck-It Ralph 3 (if they ever make one).

I'm late to the party on this one because we just got it last week, but They Shall Not Grow Old is freaking astonishing. Even having seen the explanatory mini-documentary after the credits, I still have no idea how Peter Jackson pulled off something of that magnitude so smoothly.

Yeah, I’m definitely opposed to his little anti-Netflix crusade and I’m worried his name will be big enough to have sway.

 

But that won’t change the fact he’s made some of my favorite films and I respect him as a filmmaker.  I just think his recent outburst is dumb.

Out of all the celebrities who died young (yes I know he was 43 shut up), Candy's is still one of the hardest ones for me. His comedic timing was like none other, and he could even bring in some sympathy and drama when needed.

I guess one of the perks of Netflix is that when it comes to indie awards players and acclaimed movies that start in platform release they are available right away instead of having to wait for them to expand (although I live in an area that usually gets those kinds of movies within two weeks after they launch so it's not a big deal for me either way). Still would be nice to have the option to see them in theaters though. I didn't get around to seeing Roma on the big screen because it was 1) only playing at the iPic which is too expensive for someone who is a frequent moviegoer like me and 2) only there for a week because it was a Netflix title available for streaming. I assume what they're working out with The Irishman will delay its streaming release and allow for broader for theatrical visibility for those who want to see it that way (which is how Scorsese wants us to see it anyway).

43 is not old. Believe me I know this

Watched part 1 of Leaving Neverland it's pretty tough to watch.  Not sure if I'm going to watch part 2.
