I watched Clooney’s ‘Midnight Sky” on Netflix. I thought it was good. Sort of a lesser ‘Interstellar.’ If you’re into real, story driven sci-fi (not an action movie with sci-fi in it), this is a good watch. Not great by any means. But, good. And, beautifully shot. Watching it on a 75” 4K screen was awesome.

I agree with those points also other points folks have an issue with including the ones I highlighted at the end of my review. But the things I liked about it was able to outweigh the let downs in the film for me. One of the things I look for is acting and even though

Cheetah's arch was a let down especially at the end when she resended her wish

Kristen Wiig made all 3 of her phases memorable and intriguing.

Did she, though? I thought she was the only one who didn’t. I’ll have to rewatch the end to see.

She may not have been in Cheetah form when we last saw her, but she wasn't shown or heard renouncing her wish.

WW84 wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. It was okay, but definitely not as good as the first one. Although it had its moments, I was pretty bored during the first 2/3 of the movie. I enjoyed the rest of it though, and the post credit scene was cool.

I was shocked by how good Lynda Carter still looks.

So was I. It was awesome to see though. I've been a Wonder Woman/Lynda Carter fan since I was 5 or 6 years old, and it's mind-blowing that she could look that good at 69.

Remember after their 2nd fight when she was The Cheetah WonderWoman brought her out of the water after that electrocution(that I thought killed her.)? After that when WonderWoman went on to stop Maxwel and she had the lasso of truth around his ankle talking to everybody to rescind their wish Barbara heard her too.

A few minutes later they showed her in her human form saying she rescind her wish.

I could post a gif or screenshot if it helps to jog your memories?

Forgot about that scene.

I thought it was a nice creative touch to have her play Asteria. Kind of symbolic too.

I just watched the scene again—she didn't say anything at all. She just took a couple of heavy breaths.

I just re-watched that part. I turned on the closed captioning to make sure I wouldn’t miss anything. She appears to begin to say it, but she never does. It’s just a heavy breath. At least, that’s what the CC, says.

I think my girflriend and our friends who we watched it with just went through The Mandela Effect. I just checked it and asked my girlfriend do she remember hearing Barbara say that and she said yes. I called my friends and asked both of them did they hear her say that and they said yeah. I put it back on and skipped to that part and... NOPE she didn't say it. lol. So you guys are right probably in an alternate universe. But in the universe we were in she said it. lol.

THAT WAS WIERD!!

I've been looking forward to a Superman show, but the title of this show is not instilling confidence that it's going to be any good. A superhero show on a broadcast TV budget would be difficult to make under any circumstances, but with Greg Berlanti in charge, it's almost guaranteed to be another convoluted show that cares more about woke social messaging than they do about comic book storylines. I hope I'm wrong though.

Interesting topic but unfortunately I won't be clicking on the video because I chose not to patronize pseudointellectual bigots like Ben Shapiro. People like him always have a "logical" reason to explain their (usually) racist or sexist rants. The funny thing about guys like him is when you breakdown their style of arguments, you quickly see that they have no real interest in logical reasoning because their reasons are almost always strawman fallacies.

With people like him, the question he poses can usually be superseded by a bigger more meta question. Which is, why of all the topics in the world does he so often find topics that give him the opportunity to rail against something that is minority or female-focused? Could it be that he is just another in a growing group of white men who are terrified of their loss of privilege, so they lash out at the things that scare them like a cornered animal?

Speaking of which, looks like The Daily Wire is getting into the film & TV business:

https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1346107380791185410

https://deadline.com/2021/01/daily-...-website-developing-two-tv-series-1234664288/

EXCLUSIVE: Conservative news website The Daily Wire has made its first movie acquisition in the shape of high-school shooting thriller Run Hide Fight, the first of multiple projects on a new film and TV slate.

Daily Wire has picked up North American rights to the Venice title, about a 17-year-old who must fight for her life and those of her school mates against a group of live-streaming terrorists. Isabel May, Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell star in the film, whose first full trailer we can reveal above.

The film will premiere during a “Daily Wire Backstage event” hosted by Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro and co-CEO Jeremy Boreing on January 14, 2021. The event will be live-streamed on DailyWire and YouTube. After the premiere, Daily Wire members will be able to watch the movie on the film’s dedicated website.

Run Hide Fight was written and directed by Kyle Rankin and produced by Texas-based filmmakers Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk) and Amanda Presmyk. Sonnier, known for his “populist studio” Cinesite, is launching his new production banner, Bonfire Legend, off the back of the film’s release.

“Run Hide Fight is ultimately a movie about courage in the face of evil,” said Boreing. “This is a gut-wrenching film that does not offer easy talking points, which is why liberal Hollywood executives have refused to distribute it,” he claimed.

“We’re proud to work with The Daily Wire as the exclusive North American distributor for Run Hide Fight,” stated Sonnier who cut the deal with the site. “The Daily Wire’s policy of not publishing the names of mass shooters made it an ideal partner. If this film has a political viewpoint, it’s that we should not make terrorists famous; it’s the heroes whose names we should remember.”

He continued: “We spent years carefully developing this movie in consultation with law enforcement veterans and shooting victims to immerse people into a realistic portrayal of what it’s like to experience one of these tragedies.”

The Dragged Across Concrete producer told us that The Daily Wire made a “compelling offer with a savvy release plan, and I was thrilled to do the deal”.

Daily Wire Slate

Boreing told Deadline about how the Run Hide Fight deal came about: “We had always imagined launching into entertainment with something developed in-house. But Dallas shared the film with us, and told us about the challenges he was having finding a home for the picture despite the successful premiere at Venice. I was skeptical the film would be right for us, but when I saw the strength Isabel brought to Zoe and the honesty with which Kyle approached his subject while still delivering an entertaining feature, I was convinced this was our project.”

He expanded: “Right now, we’re developing three projects internally – two series and a feature. Since announcing our move into the space, we’ve heard from quite a few filmmakers with outside-the-box pitches unlikely to find a home in the current political climate. If people continue to subscribe, as we believe they will, we’ll be acquiring more and more projects.”

Boreing added about the site’s content plans: “Run Hide Fight is a preview of our plans and the type of movies and series we will offer in the not-too-distant future. Like this film, our entertainment content won’t be overtly political, but it will reflect our values. Our mission is simple: We will make great entertainment that all Americans can enjoy, regardless of their political views. If you’re fed-up with the cultural edicts of our country’s self-appointed moral overlords in Hollywood and legacy media, stay tuned.”

The growing media company last year announced plans to move its headquarters from Los Angeles to Nashville.

Trailer for first film:

2021 isn't just a new year, it's a whole new Daily Wire.

The Daily Wire wants to bring you real, provocative content. Not your typical conservative documentaries about George Washington's mother's cousin's daughter. We want to tell stories that the Left has stopped telling, just as we bring you news that the Left won’t cover.

Our first feature film, RUN HIDE FIGHT, will be released for on-demand streaming to Daily Wire members on Friday, January 15th. RUN HIDE FIGHT follows a high school sieged by a quartet of school shooters when one young girl, 17-year-old Zoe Hull, uses her wits and survival skills to fight back.
