Five Star Review from Simon Poelzer on Overcast: Currently the service Overcast I use doesn’t have a review system but I still wanted to show my appreciation with a direct email 5 star review.
Personally I think the new Harry Potter series is unnecessary like seeing new people in your old house, but it looks good and well made so I will probably watch by pirating because I refuse to give a cent towards JK Rowling
Go Jays go
Haha I just got an American to cheer for the Blue Jays
Marvel Studios Will Return
Perhaps hope will spring eternal after all with the announcement that Marvel Studios will be back in Hall H this year at San Diego Comic-Con. There’s a lot on the line this year with Avengers: Doomsday, so the franchise giant must see the sense in returning to their iconic presentation time and space. Post-COVID, Comic-Con has seen success wax and wane in these presentations, but is it do or die time for the MCU?
Skin-Deep Villainy
DC Studios delivered a teaser trailer for Clayface, premiering this fall on October 23. The haunting trailer shows the titular character and flashes of violence happening to and around him. We’re also getting the whole Harvey Dent family in The Batman II with legendary actor Charles Dance in talks to play Harvey’s father. Dance is known for his role as Tywin Lannister on Game of Thrones and joins a powerful family with Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johansson already slated to play Harvey and Gilda Dent, respectively. Things are feeling spooky in the best way, right?
Space-Crazy Box Office
Space is dominating the space at the box office, with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie crossing the $740 million mark recently and Project Hail Mary bringing in more than half a billion dollars. Though perhaps not well-known in the states, Super Mario just blew by China’s race car film Pegasus 3, which has garnered more than $600 million. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy opened last weekend to a $34 million global start as well with a different trajectory than space and keeping the horror box office strong. It appears that the movie theater is back…?
