Minority Mindset

Okay, so this is pretty cool – a few cinemas in China, from Shanghai to Lanzhou, did something amazing! They held special screenings just for dogs and their owners. They actually closed it off to regular moviegoers, which makes sense considering allergies and stuff. But the best part? They really prepared! Every seat had little diaper pads and cleaning wipes, and it was up to the owners to keep things tidy. As a movie lover and a dog person, I wish this was a thing everywhere!

In Camp Rock 3, the band Connect 3 is starting a comeback tour but needs an opening act. They decide to return to Camp Rock to search for a new, undiscovered singer. The campers compete for the chance to perform with them on tour and potentially launch their own music careers. The movie is executive produced by former Disney stars like the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato, and will introduce a new generation of musicians on Disney+ next summer.

During the Prime Video panel at CCXP25, Omelete shared details about the first scene from Spider-Noir. The scene opens with a shot of a criminal wearing a beret. Then, Spider-Noir appears, with his eyes glowing brightly – a look that stays true to the comics and the Spider-Verse movie!

This week’s episode of Elsbeth centers around the murder of Dave Coppins, the athletic director at St. Ivan’s University, who was killed by a blow to the head while recovering in an ice bath. The case itself feels a bit underdeveloped, largely because we don’t see the connection between the killer, Coach Russell Willoughby (played by Sam McMurray), and the victim. Instead, we learn what happened through Elsbeth’s observations and deductions. Interestingly, the dynamic between Elsbeth and Coach Willoughby’s younger girlfriend, Peyton Ramsay (Lana Condor), is more compelling – and ultimately more important to the story – than the murder mystery itself.

It’s morning in the “Elvis Suite” on the 30th floor of the Westgate hotel in Las Vegas, and Koumba Diabaté is still enjoying the elaborate lifestyle provided by the Others. Despite indulging in many pleasures, Koumba has proven to be more understanding and forgiving towards Carol than other immune humans, who are less convinced by her pleas for rebellion. When Carol wakes up, Koumba offers her a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, avocado, and toast – a straightforward meal, not a carefully recreated version of something she might have enjoyed at a fancy New England inn years ago. Carol then combines everything on her plate into a messy avocado toast, mashing it all together. Koumba does the same.
