Eternals is pretty bad. I respect that there's people who like it but no film has driven home how tired I am of the MCU than this one. It fails as a high concept sci-fi fantasy epic, because it's story is a mess and constantly contradicts itself (among other reasons), and it fails as a dumb popcorn movie, because it's not entertaining.

I'm not one to defend Disney/Marvel, but calling Zhao an auteur and then removing all responsibility of her film's success/failure from her hands and placing it in the studio's/"franchise's" hands doesn't make sense.
Eternals was lifeless.
The original ending Zhao had planned makes me think there's a decent film in there somewhere.
Maybe one day we'll get a Zhao cut of Eternals. *shrug*

By all accounts, she had things she wanted to do and those things were taken away from her by focus groups. I’m not saying her desired version would have been a masterpiece, but it certainly would have been more interesting.

Seriously, I went to see Star Wars even though I already felt very ill and was gonna brave out the movie trip before going to the doctor the next day.
One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at theaters
No one in the MCU fucks

Do you think NYC rent prices dipped after the 2012 Chitauri invasion? How about after the blip?
I want to know how people in the MCU who aren’t Avengers adjacent live their lives. Like, so many people need to be in therapy.
It's NYC. They somehow went up.
Maybe Jared Kushner bought more land and kicked everyone out of rent controlled apartments and jacked up prices.

They touched on it a bit in the Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show but in a scaled down budget way with one scene with refugees who are displaced and have nowhere to go.
And there's boinking in Eternals so finally someone had sex in the MCU.

perfect Jack Black castingKung Fu Panda is such a genuinely well-made and entertaining movie, so much fun and a lot of heart. I hadn't watched it in probably over half a decade so it was nice to remind myself what a wonderful little film it is. I wonder if the sequels are streaming anywhere

I liked it. The shameless IP references at the end were jarring . But it was a breezy movie.
I do highly recommend The Last Duel.

I’ve been watching all the Muppet movies over the past week or so. I am a big fan of The Muppets, and felt it was time to revisit them + see the ones I never saw before.
The Muppet Movie - nearly perfect, absolutely lovely, with probably the best soundtrack of all of them, I love the set-up, the plot movement, and fantastic final sequence, but I really love how the film proper (not the set-up) starts so calmly with Kermit performing all of the Rainbow Connection sitting on a log - and that's it - so un-flashy
The Great Muppet Caper - kind of a step down from from the original, but it has some brilliant moments, however it's a little shoddier and not quite as fun as the chaos of the original
The Muppets Take Manhattan - my favorite of the bunch, just incredible jokes, a great simple premise, and pretty much every muppet gets a chance to shine - plus the technical achievement of many of these shots is amazing (as is the case with all these first three films)
The Muppet Christmas Carol - I have not re-watched this one yet as it's probably the one most familiar to me because I've re-watched it a lot, I think it's great, albeit because it's an adaptation I do miss the entertainment angle / in-jokes from the original Muppet stuff
Muppet Treasure Island - the most nostalgic of them all for me as it came out at a pretty perfect time in my life growing up, I remember seeing it in the theater, I still think it holds up well, probably just as good as Carol but it doesn't overtake the original or Manhattan
Muppets From Space - weirdly tonally different from all the ones before (and I realized it's cause even Brian Henson wasn't really involved in it from a director or writing standpoint), it's dialed up in a wackier mode and sidelines a lot of the core characters, also no musical numbers - which I missed
Now I am on to watch the revival films. I have seen The Muppets, but not Most Wanted. I don't remember much of The Muppets, but having now gone through basically all of the ones before, I wonder if I actually will like it less than I did
Also been going through the Muppet Show for the first time straight through

I was reading a blog about Ghana movie posters. I can't share that blog but I found another.
Has anyone seen these? They almost all have guns or violence...regardless of the movie and the history is interesting...

Look at Jerry McGuire...WTF!!!
What do they have Jeff Goldblum doing?!
Remember when Jordan solved the alien basketball problem with...A GUN!!!
There are so many and they are soo good.
