Gotta love a strong woman!
I've always had a soft spot for strong female characters on TV. Back when I was about 8, my mom and I would order takeout from our favorite Mexican place and settle in for the Saturday night lineup. It kicked off with one of my idols from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, followed by the legendary Carol Burnett, who I consider the Queen of American comedy (I say American because I firmly believe that Catherine Tate holds the title for Queen of British comedy and Ruth Jones for Queen of Welsh comedy). When Carol would give her iconic wink at the end of the show, signaling her kids it was bedtime, my mom would also wink at me and say, “you know what that means, kiddo!” And off to bed I would go.

Scarlett Johansson Has 1 MCU Regret. AI-Generated.
In order to make up for the actress's one regret as the role, I hope Scarlett Johansson's recent return for a Marvel Cinematic Universe project will eventually lead to a Black Widow appearance. One of the celebrities who contributed to the MCU becoming the massive franchise that it is today is Johansson. The actress starred in some of the best MCU films as Natasha Romanoff. In 2019's Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow's emotional journey in the MCU came to a conclusion. It broke my heart, and Natasha's farewell scene was so moving.

Trap
We are watching M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie, TRAP. Now I have a love-hate relationship with Shyamalan movies. They are either brilliant or trash and there really doesn’t seem to be an in between. And he is still digging himself out of his live action Avatar the Last Airbender hole. He still owes us approximately 10 incredible movies to make up for that monstrosity. That said, I find myself morbidly fascinated with his films and I love Josh Hartnett with all my heart, so here we are.

I Saw The TV Glow
There have been a lot of streaming service original movies dropped this year. And some of them have been truly incredible, some have simply been streaming service content. Now A streaming service movie can be eligible for the Oscars but it still has to meet the same requirement as wide released films. The most important being that it has to be in a movie theatre for at least a week in 6 approved major cities. Obviously not a lot of these streaming service movies meet that requirement. That said, I think there should be a different set of rules for streaming service films. Because I Saw The TV Glow should be up for a few awards, but it won’t get the recognition that it deserves.

Great Cast, Bad Movie
As a long long long time fan of both Batman and Superman, I was very very very upset and disappointed with the movie: "Batman vs. Superman". I don't know who to be more upset with - Director Zack Snyder or the writers Chris Terrio and David Goyer. Sometimes new, fresh, and different is a great idea. In this case, it was just absolutely horrible.
