MONDAY, APRIL 5 GAME OF THRONES---HBO announced the show's 10th anniversary celebration. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AhrkmXy2Ec BLACK WIDOW---new trailer released fir the Marvel movie. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp9pNPdNwjI LOKI---trailer released for the Disney+ tv series. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW948Va-l10 ARMY OF THE DEAD---Zack Snyder released the poster for his Las Vegas zombie plague movie. HOUSE OF GUCCI---Salma Hayek has joined the cast of the Ridley Scott movie about the murder of the head of the Gucci fashion empire. Hayek will play Pina Auriremma, who was sentenced to prison for helping her friend, Patrizia Reggiani, murder her husband, Maurizio Gucci. Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Adam Driver and Jared Leto also star. THE RIGHT STUFF---Disney+ cancelled the series. It will be shopped to other networks with the original cast or a new cast set in the 1980s. DOCTOR WHO---Christopher Eccleston commented on how the series can survive after the Jodie Whitaker era, "I’m not a slave to the canon...I think if the show wants to survive going forward, it needs to explode the canon. That rigid adherence to, ‘There can only be this number of incarnations,’ et cetera, it’s nonsense. It’s nonsense. The imagination is limitless." AMERICAN PIE 5---Tara Reid said another sequel might be underway, "It might happen. OK, I can't tell you when, because I don't really know when, because we have to get all the actors and at the same time to get our schedules together...There is a script out there, I'll put it that way...one of the best ones". TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia. In LICENSE TO KILL, some of the movie's action scenes were filmed on the Rumorosa Pass, a stretch of highway in Mexico that was closed due to a series of murders and other mysterious incidents which led to the Pass being called haunted. Among the unexplained incidents was a minivan of five nuns that went off the road and exploded, killing all of the nuns. On the movie set, security guards at the parking lot for the trucks and other vehicles saw apparitions that disappeared when challenged. One truck started by itself and ran into a wall, and in the middle of the night, another truck inexplicably burst into flames. In one scene, drug lord Felix Sanchez (Robert Davi) fired a Stinger surface-to-air missile at an airplane. Director John Glen said about the missile prop, "There was a guy up on a pole fixing the telephone lines, and he's up there and he got hit by that rocket, and he was 2 1/2 miles away from where we were shooting. And this just freak accident, it severely injured his elbow. This thing hit it from that distance." He added, "It was definitely a haunted place." In LICENSE TO KILL, on the haunted Rumorosa Pass, Robert Davi fired a prop Stinger missile that hit a telephone lineman 2 1/2 miles away and severely injured him.

LOKI does look good. Ive had no interest in the Witch and Android show, looks utterly stupid. I get what they were trying to do but it just comes off pretentious and to self aware. Not really interested in the Falcon and Winter guy either. Helps that Tom Hiddleston "made the character". The rest are generic. I went into WandaVision with a completely open mind having last seen the characters in the very early 70s, and having not seen many Marvel movies, and certainly not one with those two. I got into the fun of it, and enjoyed the whole thing as it came back to the usual superhero thing, while the wife was the other way. Loved until "it got boring". Loki I will watch. Looks good. Hiddleston (within this series especially) seems to have a Doctor/Master feel to him (if Doctor Who could only be made with the extra gravitas of one of these shows). Powerful, alien and full of quips. The guy would be perfect for the role if they decide to do a Who blockbuster movie, except he's too known for this fantasy role, and we all know the chance of that character being being played by a white male is now highly unlikely for the foreseeable...

WandaVision was really excellent. Very Twin Peaks/The Prisoner at the start and then just got more sinister and interesting as it went along. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is f'n amazing. Like a feature film on the small screen. It brings the MCU forward and addresses a lot of concerns I had about "the blip" and people coming back to life after 5 years. Really great stuff and there is some wonderful fleshing out of characters who were overshadowed by the headliners. I'll look forward to Loki as well. Either you like the MCU films or you don't. If you don't, you probably won't care about these shows.
