Billboards for Dead Jedis + Projectors for One Guy

It's Tuesday, the day that sounds like it should be better than Monday but absolutely isn't. Like a sequel that had all the same problems as the original but now with worse CGI. I tried to get my life together this morning. Opened my email, saw 47 unread messages and closed out of my email. Some problems are tomorrow's problems. All of my problems are tomorrow's problems. Tomorrow me is going to be SO mad. But that's his issue, not mine.

Star Wars fans have launched a grassroots campaign with billboards, airplane banners, and missing posters to pressure Disney into making "The Hunt for Ben Solo," following Adam Driver's character after Rise of Skywalker. A plane literally flew over Disney Studios with a "Save Ben Solo" banner while a Times Square billboard proclaimed "Ben is alive!"

Now that's dedication! I once started a petition to bring back Crystal Pepsi and got three signatures. All me. Different email addresses.

IMAX and Cinemark are installing new 70mm film projection systems at 17 locations specifically for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which releases July 17, 2026 and is the first theatrical release shot entirely in IMAX film. Three theaters in Chicago, Colorado Springs, and Rochester are getting equipment that costs more than my house. Well, more than a house I could afford. Which is no house. But still.

Nolan convinced theater chains to spend millions on projectors for ONE MOVIE. Meanwhile I can't convince my building's super to fix the garbage disposal. It's been six months. It just screams at me. Like a demon. A wet demon.

Colin Farrell revealed he'd "bet against, but not by much" on The Penguin getting a Season 2, despite HBO thinking of storylines for another eight hours. He also confirmed Penguin has a smaller role in The Batman Part II than the first film.

This man is out here actively discouraging his own employment opportunities. That's like me telling potential dates about my collection of expired coupons. Which I do. It's extensive. Organized by year of expiration. 2019 was a good vintage.

Writer Mattson Tomlin revealed his Spider-Man 4 pitch with Tobey Maguire hasn't received a "no" yet, though it involves "a lot of people and politics." The concept shows Peter Parker as a husband and father juggling saving the world with family life.

Kirsten Dunst says she'd return too, which means two people are interested in a movie that will absolutely never happen. But hey, at least they're trying. Unlike my attempt to learn guitar. Still have it. Still can't play Wonderwall.
