OK help me clear something up. There seems to be a consensus that Spider-Man Brand New Day takes place in Fall 2028. Brand New Day takes place "four years later" than No Way Home. OK. But. The events of No Way Home were in Fall 2024. MJ and Ned graduated high school the following spring, meaning Spring 2025. So MJ and Ned enrolled in MIT in Aug/Sept 2025. A four year undergrad program starting there. So four years after that would be Fall 2029. So why does everyone keep saying Brand New Day is in Fall 2028? Did MJ and Ned both graduate in three years? Or is everyone trying to fit Brand New Day into the "14 months later" of the Thunderbolts post-credit scene that ties into Doomsday?

So sad to learn of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. RIP to our captain, our professor, and a generational talent who gave us so much.

Ok I’m gonna livestream my reaction to this Avengers Doomsday scene they’re showing during the World Series game tomorrow night on @NewRockstars on YouTube Anyone know how to get a Fox One login?

This is a gross mischaracterization of what I said. My concerns that a tool like this would have to be used, and my repeated hopes that they would find ways to not have to use it, are in NO WAY an endorsement of those tools. I understand outrage farming is a fun way to get engagement on here, but this is inappropriate. I know there's a lot of passion around using AI at all in the VFX process which is why I repeatedly labeled my speculation as conjecture and not any actual news reporting. If you wanted to start an actual discourse around this, a clip of what I actually said, in context, would have been fair. Repeatedly misquoting me is not.

Whatever is going on, I hope Matt Reeves is OK.

I quite liked DIGGER. It's going to be divisive -- the film's marketing campaign only shows part of what this movie ultimately is. (No, it's not a secret musical.) I wasn't sure why Tom Cruise wanted to do a movie like this. He can get awards attention in other ways. And why did it have to be in VistaVision? But after seeing Digger, I get it. It's a huge idea, in small packaging, shot with grand spectacle and style. Digger Rockwell is to Tom Cruise's body of work what Riggan / Birdman was to Michael Keaton. Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, Tropic Thunder... it's all there in the multitudes of Cruise's performance. One could call it derivative of that other Iñárritu film, I think I prefer Emmanuel Lubezki having graduated out of the showy oners and into a more visually exquisite format. Digger has even loftier aims in exploring the very purpose of art in the world we live in. Yes, a story like this *does* need to be in a format like VistaVision. I was lucky to see a screening projected in that format, and the level of detail and theatricality brought out definitely served the intention. It's interesting to see the discourse among reviews reflecting the exact argument in my favorite scene of the movie. Once everyone knows what this movie is, Tom Cruise choosing it as his project between legacy sequels makes a lot of sense. I'll admit that even understanding the film's conceit doesn't make the extreme clowning always fun to watch, or always fun to appreciate even in an exploitative sense. It will test the patience of some. But I admire its boldness, and I think viewers will be breathless when the credits roll.

Seated! And manspreaded as much as Tom is!

me after Doom erased me from this promo

I wonder why the Russo Brothers keep posting photos that show her peeking out at us from the background 👀
