At first I was disappointed that #Mulan would not include the animated classic's songs. But now that I see how different the live-action take is, I realize it's not just a nostalgic-driven cash grab remake like Aladdin or The Lion King. It's a unique retelling. I dig it.

#Mindhunter is one of Netflix's very best originals. An expertly crafted, all engrossing psychological tale from David Fincher. I very much hope it continues. I don't want Netflix to become a factory of content churn with mediocre new series taking precedent.

#SpiderManNowWayHome feels a bit like an Avengers 4.5. It's not a perfect movie and I have some criticism. But my main concern—that Tom Holland's Peter Parker arc would be lost in all this—was not the case at all. Very emotional Peter Parker story that ties it all together.

Ep 8 of #Invincible is one of the best season finales since Dave and Watchmen (two wildly different shows, but both strong finales). It's so savage yet leaves so much room for nuance. It's a universe-spanning scope that boils down to the hearts of just a few characters. Loved it.

Devastated to hear that the fourth season of #TheGoodPlace will be its last. However, this does give the show the opportunity to end without ever producing a bad season of TV--putting it in sitcom pantheon territory. Always felt as if it was the spiritual successor to COMMUNITY.

I always found it amusing in Spider-Man 2 after the train scene when one well-intentioned commuter takes a look at maskless Spidey and remarks he's "just a kid." . Tobey Maguire was less than one week away from his 30th birthday when the movie came out.

WandaVision was meant to be a mystery box of sorts, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier made statements on race and legacy. I think #Loki is designed to be the most purely entertaining Marvel series thus far, at least based on the first two episodes. It’s a cheeky action comedy.

As an actor, Adam Driver is somehow both minimalist and extra at the same time and it is extremely effective. I think the role of an actor is to convincingly bring a moment to life, make that moment work in the context of the film, and move the audience. He always delivers.
