Minority Mindset

Shawn Levy announced that Thomas Newman will be composing the music for the new movie, Star Wars: Starfighter.

While many Westerns have strong endings, none are as iconic as the conclusion of George Stevens’ Shane. It’s a powerfully moving scene that captures the spirit of the Old West, and is often misinterpreted. Those final five minutes are truly unique within the genre, and have become the benchmark for all Western finales.

In the fifth episode of Pluribus, Carol attempts to contact others who are immune, hoping to share her discoveries about the hivemind. Unfortunately, she doesn’t receive any response. But towards the end of the episode, she starts investigating some clues and discovers the infected are consuming a strange liquid served in milk cartons.

Okay, let me break down this episode. Right off the bat, Sage is sharing information about Kristina’s idol – first with Jawan, then with Sophie. And honestly, Steven made a huge mistake by telling Sage to do that, hoping to build trust. It immediately brought to mind a brilliant point Sandra Diaz-Twine made – and I wish more Americans could see her gameplay, Jeff Probst seems hesitant to show it! – that an idol everyone knows about is basically useless. The more people are aware of it, the more it becomes a point of negotiation, or even just a shield someone can ‘waste’ to survive a vote. It can stall things, sure, but it loses its power to actively help someone advance their game. Think about how Parvati Shallow flipped the script with multiple idols – that’s how you use them to really shake things up, not just survive another Tribal Council.

The first trailer for the next Avengers movie is coming next month, and fans will finally get a better look at what’s in store. Right now, the biggest hints have come from short scenes shown after the credits of movies in Phases 4, 5, and 6. These scenes are building up to a major crossover event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing important characters and hinting at the main storylines of the Multiverse Saga’s conclusion.

Maintaining consistent quality for over three decades is incredibly difficult, so it’s understandable that The Simpsons isn’t as consistently strong as it once was. As a result, many adult animation fans have found other shows to enjoy, and some of these newer series have received a lot of positive attention and critical praise – even being considered by some to be better than The Simpsons.

The new A24 film, Eternity, centers on Elizabeth Olsen’s character, Joan, and her journey into the afterlife. She reconnects with both of her husbands: Miles Teller plays Larry, her longtime spouse, and Callum Turner portrays Luke, who died in the war. Da’Vine Joy Randolph and John Early also star as Anna and Ryan, respectively, and they help Joan, Larry, and Luke choose where they’ll spend eternity. The director recently explained that these roles were actually expanded from their original scope.
