Lewis Pullman on returning as Sentry in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’

“I couldn’t believe I was allowed to be in that movie. It was so fun. I’m so lucky to play this character because he means so much to me. There’s so much about his ethos that is very personal to me.”

The horror series Derry shows the 1950s as colourful, nostalgic and sunny, much of the time anyway.
It makes the scary dark scenes work even better, contrast can create tension.
Those who make shows set in the middle ages please take notice ;)

Marjorie Taylor Greene may be resigning from Congress next month, but she's weighing one last act of defiance: a longshot bid to topple Mike Johnson.

Thankfully, the Polish doctor who was arrested for providing a medically necessary later abortion has had her criminal investigation dropped. Prosecutors deemed that she did not violate Poland’s strict abortion laws. An anti-choice fanatic who attacked her is facing criminal charges for assault.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.

…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”
