    Finding out Incels are boycotting you is cause for massive celebrations in corporate boardrooms coast to coast.
    Its true...none of the boycotts work and it is laughable. The TFA one was awful though.

        I'm looking forward to the movie. One of my favorite Marvel Characters of all time and a character that has a very complex history. Curious to see how they decide to work it as there are many different ways to go.
        I'm going tonight as well... Just hoping that this isn't just a 2 hour trailer for ENDGAME... I'm thinking we'll get something like Captain America: TFA. 90% of the movie is in the past with a last second change of direction to bring us right into "modern times".

        Side question: I'm starting to think that what Marvel has done to this point is something that we'll never see again. I really think that it's lightning in a bottle. Sure we'll see a new "big bad" teased during Endgame. But going forward from there, I really feel that things will slowly deflate. Something like a trilogy where #1 is "OMG Awesome!", #2 is "Had it's moments, was enjoyable, but not the 1st" and beyond that is just dreck...

        Think Marvel can keep this train rollin'? I'm curious because we have everyone from hardcore geeks to people that follow and enjoy the ride to people that watch because it's everywhere/popular to the "Anti-geek" crowd.... A good cross section of life here.

          I agree. After the next Avengers everything will change and never be this huge again.

            I guess we do have the decent into dreck followed by a Phoenix revival, ala Mission Impossible/Fast & Furious on the table as well for 2028/2029

              You mean "SJW Wars"? Hurr durr.

              And Hamilton is probably the best musical I've seen since The Color Purple (which is still #1), even though it's only about 65-70% historically accurate.

                Boycott is working well. Theater is packed.

                  The Soloist:

                  A newspaper reporter befriends a street musician, and their lives change.

                  Denzel is AWESOME as the schizophrenic musician. Jebus, he was good. Downey Jr is Downer Jr, snarky and selfish and blah blah blah. Not a real stretch from most any other role he's done. Very good movie, dunno why it took this long for it to be on my radar.
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        I arrived for my 7pm show at 5:15 and there was already a line. It was a packed theater. Lots of kids but also lots of seniors. This was quite the age range. If parents have any doubts about taking the kids forget them. It's very family-friendly. They will see worse on the news or afternoon TV.

                        Early estimates show Thursday night will be in the low 20's, the 2nd best March Thursday ever (BvS $27M) and just behind Black Panther ($25.2) and Civil War ($25)

                          To All The Boys I've Loved Before - Cute Netflix teen rom com. Am in a weird place now where the "teen" heartthrob of the movie is still attractive (and 22, so...legal), but the dad character is also kind of **** (John Corbett doing well as the greying dad -- see also, Sex & Drugs & Rock&Roll). The movie is fun, if not overly intellectually stimulating.

                          The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Read the book first, which is literary fiction told in the form of letters of the people of Guernsey during and just after the Nazi occupation. Female British author is the lead. The movie features plenty of likable people: Michiel Huisman (GoT, Orphan Black, Nashville), Lily James (Cinderella), Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey, Watchmen). Enjoyable movie, especially if you love watching people who love books. Guernsey itself looks gorgeous. Directed by Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco, 4 Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).

                          Planning to see Captain Marvel on Wednesday after this stretch of work.

                              Is this the same Guernsey with the offshore hidden accounts and that creepy patriarch who runs it like Warren Jeffs?

                              Edit: sorry, that was Jersey.
