Doctor Strange Craters On Its Second Week
Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness plunged 67% at the box office. Strongly indicating there is very little repeat business for this movie. While it is still possible that it will crack the $1 billion mark it is now going to be a long uphill slog to do it. More likely it will leg out between $850 and $950 million.Doctor Strange 2 needs (at a guess) $750 million to break even due to its prolonged delay. It will do that but there is...

From Bounding Into Comics:"Olsen commented about how she felt like her Civil War costume was one of her least favorite outfits that “needed an upgrade.” In 2018, Olsen stated that she did not like how “revealing” some of her older costumes were.“It would just not be a cleavage corset. I like corsets, but I’d like it to be higher. Everyone has these things that cover them—Tessa Thompson does, Scarlett does. I would like to cover up a bit,” she said....

The Martian Doorway
There was an intriguing formation photographed by the Curiosity rover. Give it time and it will be up there with the Face on Mars and the Nazca Lines.I found out about this at 2:00 am and quickly pounded this out. My late-night state of mind kind of shows:Reuters News Service, Houston Texas, 5:20 pm CDT. NASA Director, Galeraraack the Banth Devourer: The apparent doorway is most likely just a shear fracture due to some recent temblors. In all...

Wanda and Multiverse of Madness First Impressions
I only watched this damn thing because I’ve been skipping too much pop culture of late and I was overdue to take one for the team. And boy did I ever.Assuming I can steal time to write this any time soon, it’s going to be a Recommends With Reservations. My version of the two-star review. My criteria for Does Not Recommend is, that there is no reason to see this movie and truthfully there are actually a few reasons to see this...

Ncuti Gatwa Is the New Doctor Who
No, I didn't misspell that. I checked three times.Apparently, he's Scottish. I guess that explains the unspellable name.I don't know a thing about him, other than the BBC obviously still has a say in things.My only prediction for Doctor Who at this time is that Jodie Whitaker's last episode will be the most-watched episode of her entire run.There will be huge watch parties because every Doctor Who fan wants to watch that bitch die!UPDATE: I saw the interview...
