Side note for Brave New World: I’ve seen a handful of people online say they’ve no interest in a jingoistic movie given gestures around. Which is strange to me, since if the trailer is even the slightest bit accurate, it’s more in the vein of Winter Soldier, where the US government is the problem. Maybe they mean it’s too close to reality? shrugs

It’s been mixed over the past few years. I know way more people who’ve watched the post-Endgame shows than the post-Endgame movies. They certainly haven’t been treated as the cultural event they were in the 2010s.

Although, that’s been shifting. A bunch of people I know both online and in real-life were pumped for Deadpool & Wolverine. I’ve been hearing a bunch of excitement over the upcoming Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four movies. And I’m personally super pumped for Brave New World, although the reports of production woes seem to have tempered others’ expectations.

I occasionally read Mike McGranaghan’s The Aisle Seat and Dan Chilton’s Dan Says its Alright.

And if I may be so bold, I’d like to offer up my own, Take 'Em to the Movies, Austin!. I aim to get up at least one review a week, along with the occasional list.
