Clark Gregg Wants Phil Coulson To Reunite With The Avengers
Depending on how long you have been a Marvel Cinematic Universe fan, you may remember the heartbreak that we experienced in the summer of 2012 when Clark Gregg's beloved character, Phil Coulson, suffered a tragic death at the hands of Loki in The Avengers. It was a tumultuous time in the fandom, culminating in collective joy when Phil Coulson was revealed to be alive in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which premiered in the fall of 2013. Now, years have passed, and Phil Coulson has continued to endear himself to Marvel fans everywhere. However, all good things come to an end, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. being on its final season.

First Impressions of Peacock, the Newly Launched Streaming Service from NBCUniversal
Last Wednesday, July 15, NBCUniversal launched its own streaming service, Peacock, which offers over 200,000 hours of content. When the name was first announced, it was the subject of much ridicule. On top of that, avid subscribers of Netflix were unhappy that some of their favorite shows such as The Office (US) would be taken off of Netflix in January 2021 so that they could be exclusive to Peacock. In the age of streaming services, some consumers even feel that there are too many, with the launch of HBO Max on May 27 being fairly recent.

Top 10 Most Picturesque Movie Settings
A gorgeous setting can make a movie so much better. Lots of John Wayne movies aren’t amazing plot- or dialogue-wise, but I sure love seeing the country backdrops. Cast Away (2000) was pretty boring, but that tropical paradise sure was something, wasn’t it? All a good setting has to do is catch your attention, either with its beauty, its originality, or its boldness.

Next Batman Movie Will No Longer Shoot On Location
Months of being thrown down the drain and we finally have some more information on Matt Reeves' The Batman, which has been given a brand new production start date as long as it is no longer filmed on location. What does this actually mean? Well, when production gets the wheel rolling again, it will no longer be at a central location while filming. Instead, the film will be shot on brand new sets or stages in London, England. Matt Reeves was announced to be directing the new trilogy just last year and has gone on to cast Robert Pattison as the enigmatic playboy Bruce Wayne. Due to the pandemic, along with other smaller setbacks, the film is not set to released in theaters until late 2021.

The Bravery Of Drag Queens
Before I get into the heart of what I'm writing, I have to say one thing: drag queens are incredibly brave. Drag queens in particular are oftentimes members of the LGBTQ+ community - there are bioqueens, among others, who have explored the art that is being a drag queen, and are oftentimes males who might be confronted with extreme prejudice or even violence. Like most instances of discrimination and prejudice, this is incredibly painful to confront and witness, let alone go through. Like many members of the LGBTQ+ community, drag queens have had a history with their loved ones which may have meant cutting ties with family and friends, struggles with alcohol and drugs, and struggles with their mental health. To continue to live their truth and perform on stage night after night in spite of all the challenges they might encounter and go through is a testament of the courage they've had to muster to get through their lives.

"Tartuffe" MIP/FIAF.
Robert Massimi. "Tartuffe" is a Moliere classic. It is a story about Orgon, his perfect family and a pious fraud named Tartuffe. It was never really clear to me how a successful man like Orgon could be so taken by Tartuffe but he is and his family feels the effects of it. Orgon and his mother are so in rapture by this man that they get to the point where they make no decisions without the advise and opinion of Tartuffe.

What would social services have to say about Harry Potter?
This article is written through the lens of social care services as it is today and I will not attempt to conjecture what social services were like during the 1980's and 90's (the time period the books are set). I simply do not have enough information or experience to make an accurate analysis of this. In the 2000’s professionals are much more aware of bullying, the indicators of abuse, and have a lot more information at their fingertips, information about children of concern is more widely and easily shared. Having grown up in the 1980’s and 90’s I may comment on the community and social norms of the time but I do not pretend to know anything about social care services during this period.
