It’s got Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison, because… I don’t know. Because he wanted the role and who was going to tell him no? Especially since Tom Holland is there, too, thus more than doubling the chance that some of that sweet, sweet MCU fanbase would come and see a dramatization of the fight of Edison vs. Tesla over AC/DC current.

Tweet of the Day, …Taika Waititi, you say?
Taika Waititi supposedly is working on a new Flash Gordon? That’s animated?
:pause:
… I’ll allow it.
A clip from that ‘Little Monsters’ zombie comedy.
Lupita Nyong’o is kind of convincing me to maybe see this one. Originally seen via Coming Soon, but they’ve got this thing about embedding third-party videos that’s just annoying enough to make me go find it for myself. So maybe counter-productive?
Oh. Zombies, so if your boss is squeamish maybe don’t click on the link at work.

It’s always a shame when you see people open a Forbidden Book and you can’t stop them.
Movie of the Week: Darkest Hour.
Although technically it’s the Movie of the Night: Darkest Hour was on absurd sale, so I grabbed it. I’ll be watching it tonight, finally. Should be good!
Yeah, but who would you pick for the live-action Miles Morales?

Red Sonja movie back on track for some reason.
I dunno. As a project Red Sonja’s been kind of cursed, innit? It’s been in development hell for a decade and the previous director (Bryan Singer) got yanked after he got accused (again) of having sex with minors. So now they’ve brought in Jill Soloway to replace him as director. Now, I’m not going to say “Jill who?” because for all I know, everybody watched Transparent. But this Hollywood Reporter passage is fascinating, in its way:

I gotta wonder: did they decide to do this because they were hanging out on Winter Soldier together and one of them later said Hey, I know a guy when they got a part in Netflix’s Point Blank?
The MCU* Honest Trailer.
So, looks like I may be missing Shaft in theaters.
Turns out no morning showings near me and I couldn’t catch it over the weekend because I had to deal with stuff. And, starting Wednesday, the schedule goes kerplooey with the winding down of school*. Ach, well. At least I was able to get in MiB: International.
