Aquaman $500M Cross Over !


 New show this Saturday: Major reviews and Golden Globes and the Top 10 for the year.
One of my favorite shots from the movie above btw.

Update: Finally got to see Green Book and this deserves the Best Picture for the Oscar.  5 of 5.
As far as the Globes goes I'm still sticking with Poppins getting most of the awards but don't be surprise with Star is Born in the Drama section with Gaga and Malick for the Best Actor.

Mini-Reviews:
Mary Poppins: 4, If only the songs were a bit memorable but this deserves all the Globes nods.
The Mule: 3, If you liked Grand Tarino you will love this, other wise well, it's Eastwood !
BlackkKlansman: 4, Great cast but the ending was a cop out as a wrap up to some of the characters.

Check out the comment section and this will give you a better picture on what this is all about.
Because of China which has beeen increasing it's theatre counts causing this record breaking numbers, theatre admissions are getting less. Only a few have broken the $1 Billion count.

Thsi will help it tie with Venom for the top 5 of the year. What's so funny adding insult to injury is the theatre owners pulled Crazy Rich Asians from the cinemas when it DOA in one weekend and replaced it with Aquaman and extended its theatre counts. Now the extended the run. Ouch. Funny!

And the winner is Jason Momoa ! And is he's up there with our gal Gal Godat as DCU big winners.
The big surprise is that it was Poppins and Bumblebee fighting it out.

Again as mentioned in the last blog, here is Hollywood bragging about an all time high when in reality everything is tanking.

When all else fails bring out Plan B. Since the fans are crying foul with a female Doctor, it's time to pull out a favorite villain to save the day. Works with Batman and the Joker, right? The main problem with the show now is that the writers are not Sci-Fi writers. Whaaaaaa? What the hell were the producers were thinking of. Who wonder there's no imagination to the show. Yikes.

Golden Globes Predictions: Mary Poppins
Simple: Since Aquaman wasn't nominated and Black Panther is the most overrated Marvel of the year, (what happened to Avengers:IW? ) Mary Poppins is going to clean up.
And the rest? Half I didnt even hear of them until they got nominated.
So basically I'm going to watch but with a "Who the fuck cares" attitude. So there. lol.
