One would think that’s rather important to making a movie.
It’s apparently true. Principle photography in the UK is done but they either don’t have a finished script or aren’t telling anyone about it. Not even the people who need to know. This is why Marvel Studios is failing, and Feige trying to equate his “method” with how Stan Lee and Jack Kirby worked together is just foolish.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I didn’t have any more time to do something interesting just like Saturday Night Showcase. So I got…something done. The next two paragraphs are a bit off topic for this website but I need to vent.
So it looks like my local ABC affiliate company Nexstar joined Sinclair in caving to Disney and putting Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show back on their stations. Look, he can say whatever he wants, even his hateful conspiracy theories, but I don’t accept what he put out as an actual apology and I don’t think he’s sorry. I didn’t watch the show before and I’m not watching it now. I also never watched The Man Show and he was the only thing I didn’t like about Win Ben Stein’s Money and wasn’t disappointed he left. Basically I didn’t like Jimmy Kimmel before not liking Jimmy Kimmel was cool.
Meanwhile, YouTube just admitted the Biden Administration forced them to kill channels that didn’t conform to their politics, and actually did apologize while offering to restore the channels killed in the Biden Purge. A bit late for some channels as they either moved on or moved elsewhere. So I guess “me speech” is more important than free speech. I’m sure some of these were also channels that challenged Disney properties, including Marvel Studios, but since it was Disney and Disney isn’t going to help YouTube fight the UK’s censorship plans that would actually hurt YouTube, they probably don’t care about those channels. Okay, can I stop with the sociopolitical stuff now? I just want to talk stories.
Speaking of which, it looks like the Instapundit boost has started to fall off, probably because the above two paragraphs are rare as we’re mostly about storytelling and geeky stuff ’round these here parts. Oddly, most of my stats the past few days say most of my views came from China. Weird. Well, hope they enjoy the continuing Chapter By Chapter review of Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Mirror Image as well as the CBS Transformers draft explorations. I’m almost done with the Charlton reviews of pre-DC characters, but DC bought from other places, like the original Transformers toys, so we’re not in need of a new Tuesday comic review topic just yet. Otherwise, we’ll see what else there is to discuss.
Have a great week, everyone!
