CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD REVIEW
“What should have been used to set up a new era for the MCU, feels instead like things are moving backwards.”

Hi Blueskyers!!! Here's my review of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld that mostly receives a mixed-negative review cause I was pretty disappointed, not cause it was necessarily bad. YMMV as they say in the olden days of the internet:

After 20 years of disappointment, this lifelong Fantastic Four fan has gotten not just a good or great FF movie, but the PERFECT FF movie... so much to discuss that I'll save for my review. Best Marvel introduction movie since the first Guardians of the Galaxy.

A very good Wolf Man movie delivered w/emotional sincerity. Doesn’t break the mold like Invisible Man, in part because we’ve seen plenty werewolf movies. Sidesteps conventions, design makes sense in context, sound is aces. Abbott is phenomenal -he’s got those sad Chaney Jr eyes.
Now watching: Wolf Man (2024) Dir. Leigh Whannell #WolfManMovie

Oh, good... Titan Caskets is selling a smaller version of the Nosferatu casket for just $3,999. Probably not big enough to get buried in but maybe big enough for one's ashes?

Welp, I was locked out of my X account 'cause I responded to a poll with a joking response, but it was deemed as hate speech. I won't go into details but essentially, I used time travel to give advice to my 18-year-old self.

James Mangold has done it again with A Complete Unknown, which actually works better than Walk the Line since it's focused more on just five years in Dylan's life... and mark my words, Chalamet will win that Oscar.

How many people will go to see Paul Schrader's Oh, Canada, inadvertently thinking it's the new movie from the Trailer Park Boys. This joke is just for my Canadian friends, including recent Canada transplant, @sarahmusnicky.bsky.social, who has no idea what I'm talking about ;)

You have a green-skinned baby, and you name her "Elphaba" ... any bullying she receives after you enroll her in school when she's well into her 30s is on you. (Can't deprive Bluesky of my Monday morning bad jokes!) :)

I'm having a bit of a moral quandry re: the new Marilyn Manson album. I used to be a pretty big fan, seen him live a few times, and I'm a fan of his musical collaborator Tyler Bates (who scored many of Ti West's movies), but I can't really forgive his treatment of Evan Rachel Wood, can I?
