Just saw an interview with James Gunn that says that in this universe, superheroes have been around for 300 years.

There’s been a poor track record of long overdue sequels. Just like Coming 2 America, if it sucks then I’ll quickly forget about it and not let it affect the original.

Mel Brooks looks amazing for 98

Lois Lane driving a spaceship.

Kaiju Attacking Metropolis

Krypto

The Justice “Gang”

A sky full of supers battling it out.

There’s A LOT going on in this movie. Might be too much. Guess we will find out.

Guessing he’s been told by someone to make way for someone else and go take a term-limited position instead. Ainsworth decided he had no interest in governor?

Tuberville originally wanted to be governor to replace Bentley but once Ivey moved in, Tubs saw the Senate seat as the easier path.

Being Governor is more of Tuberville’s style. He’s 1 of 1 instead of 1 of 100. He’s a big fish in a smaller pond with less of a spotlight. He can get attention whenever he wants it but as Ivey has proven, he can go a month or two without even seeing a camera and nobody will care.

Tuberville has a tremendous opportunity. He can leverage his popularity, reputation, and name ID to get things passed that any other governor might balk at. He can DOGE the state government and call out hayseed legislators that might be holding up his agenda. His profile allows him to do a lot of good things and unlike Ivey, Tuberville actually is a conservative. We could finally have a DeSantis like Governor.

But my fear is that Tubershell shows up. He doesn’t enough to get his picture in the paper, gets some basic things passed, and then retires in 9 years with nothing significant passed.

The amount of Boomers who can’t decipher between what’s real and what’s AI is really, really frightening.

Conan had these bits where a TV with a face would come down and the mouth would be fake like he was interviewing the person. Those Saddam Hussein and Janet Reno episodes had me thinking I was gonna die from laughing so hard. Not to mention the insult comic dog. Comedy gold.

Yeah, and those segments sound stupid as hell when you describe them…but they were funny as hell because the show didn’t take itself seriously. Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel take themselves seriously.

Tomorrow will mark 33 years since Carson left the Tonight Show and I still submit that the country hasn’t been the same since. He’s been off the air now longer than he was on. Once it became Jay vs Dave, everyone stopped having a shared experience to end each day.

It’s wild though. Look back at old Conan or Letterman Late Night reruns and they are still legitimately really funny. Then switch over to Seth Meyers trying to be serious and it’s objectively sad. Chasing “clapter” is the only thing Late night comedy hosts care about now.

What is this show building up to? What’s the goal of the overall plot? It’s not to find a cure. It’s not to seek out safe haven to live happily ever after. There’s no arch-nemesis/final boss to defeat unless they drag this Abby plot out for another two seasons.

Just trying to figure out why we should stay with this show.

Its creepy how the camera gets right in their grill for a long long walk trying to recreate tiger 2019. Let them breathe

---

Yeah. It only works in those truly epic moments and that’s only been Tiger & Rory at the Masters where there was a huge personal story behind it.

It doesn’t work for Scottie Scheffler dominating the PGA.

And I’m going to add that Superman isn’t Superman without the John Williams theme. It just completes everything and takes everything up a few notches.

Thank God they brought it back.
