🍰 BrownDust2 | Eleaneer’s Birthday

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Just leave any gifts over there. I’m really focused on training right now and don’t have time for a party. What? You want to watch me train? You’re… unusual.

Scarlett Johansson May Join Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN – PART II

Scarlett Johansson has a busy schedule! She’s starting with Mike Flanagan’s new take on The Exorcist, then moving on to The Batman – Part II. With her success in Marvel movies and Jurassic World, Johansson is a major star. But Batman fans are curious about what role she’ll play, since Zoe Kravitz already plays Catwoman. Many believe she’ll portray Poison Ivy, the eco-terrorist, Pamela Isley.

All the Pop Culture References in STRANGER THINGS 5, Volume 1

I’ll never forget watching Red Dawn back in ’84 – the idea of a small town suddenly under attack by Soviet forces was just so gripping, and those high school kids becoming heroes was inspiring! It really reminded me of what’s happening in the upcoming fifth season of Stranger Things. But here’s the twist: instead of Russians invading Hawkins, it’s actually the American military causing the trouble. It’s a really interesting flip on the original Red Dawn concept, and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.
