And, my most anticipated movies of 2026:

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Avengers: Doomsday*
Disclosure Day
Evil Dead Burn
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
The Mandalorian and Grogu*
The Odyssey
Project Hail Mary
Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come
Resident Evil*

*Perhaps against my better judgement.

Been listening to some of her interviews too, and she's certainly a character. Like half of what she says feels insightful, but the other half of the time it's like she's barely thought at all about what's coming out of her mouth. I can't imagine what conversations between her and Musk were like.

Other stuff I really loved in 2024:

Alan Wake II: The Lake House DLC
Astro Bot
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

From Zero - Linkin Park
Imaginal Disk - Magdalena Bay (perhaps my favorite piece of any media in 2024)

Baby Reindeer
Black Doves
The Penguin
Shogun

Shout-outs to Abigail, Alien: Romulus, Cuckoo, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Hit Man, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, A Quiet Place: Day One, and Ultraman: Rising.

Shout-outs to The Black Phone 2, Companion, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (god, what a terrible title), Paddington in Peru, The Running Man, and Wolf Man.

When Guardians of the Galaxy was announced we were endlessly told it was wrong to focus on them over more well-known heroes & it would be Marvel’s first bomb. Next, I was told over & over no one wanted to see a TV show about Peacemaker. 2/3

Even recently, we got thousands of mentions saying no one wanted a series about the Penguin. So I certainly have learned to ignore the chant “is this necessary?” or “no one wants to see this,” and instead focus on the passion in and the merits of each project itself. Finis! 3/3
