The Truth Was Seen at 15,000 Feet
First:
Go.
See.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
Figure out a way to see this surreal–yet very real–action film that takes the franchise and genre to new heights with insane twists and turns.
Second:
Following up on a Jimmy’s Daily Planet article from a couple days ago…
Mission: Possible – James Corden Fell out of an Airplane.
Will ‘The Office’ Finally Open Its Eyes to a Reunion?
What kind of bear is best?
If you’re thinking the answer is a polar bear, then you’d be wrong–or false. The answer is a black bear.
What kind of reunion could be the best?
Truth:
We all want need to see an ‘Office’ reunion show, in whatever form its brilliant writers determine is, well, best.
Like I said. We need more of ‘The Office.’
Vulgarity Is Killing the Radio Stars
Interesting words to consider from one of pop rock’s best singers and musicians.
Music, like any entertainment medium, can be tricky to navigate as to what pushes close to the boundary and what crosses “that line.” More often than not, it’s the un-clever way in which something is presented that desperately lacks subtlety, decency, and creativity that inspires the powerful connection via a myriad of sounds and lyrics.
I think that’s the underlying point Killers frontman, Brandon Flowers is alluding to by his line in the interview above, “we need to class it up a little bit.”
Essentially, what he’s saying is comparable to a stand-up comedian just spouting off about someone or something without a set-up and punchline that, when done effectively, makes the point in a new, entertainingly memorable fashion.
And he’s right…
on the line of what constitutes original, thoroughly entertaining music.
A Sequel With a Capital ‘S’?
In the superhero-saturated era in which DC and Marvel are actively competing over cinematic world domination–no hyperbole–there are certain characters that resonate far beyond the walls of dark movie theaters, as well as reviews on Rotten Tomatoes before opening weekend. There are some superheroes that represent something bigger and something profound.
Thankfully, a real person who portrays one of these fictional superheroes understands this critically powerful reality during a recent interview whilst promoting Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
The rumor mill will continue to run as to whether there will be or when the world will see a direct ‘Man of Steel’ sequel. Having said that, Henry Cavill speaking publicly in support of a follow-up film with Clark Kent disposition is great news.
This 2013 film starring Henry Cavill as the title character had a Christopher Reeve-esque final scene accompanied by an exhilarating Hans Zimmer composition. It’s my belief that a ‘Man of Steel’ sequel in the spirit to the one envisioned by Mr. Cavill in the video above is precisely what is needed–and what has been expected–for several generations of Superman fans.
Coupled with the success of ‘Wonder Woman,’ a ‘Man of Steel’ sequel would genuinely help redefine what uplifting superhero movies can and should be in the modern era.
