Forget about the preseason stats. Forget about the record. There is something happening with Nikola Jovic, and it may be the key to the Heat getting their offensive changes to stick.

Let's talk about it.

As the Miami Heat exit training camp, their roster is full of knowns that tell us how good they are, and unknowns that tell us how good they could be.

On everything Erik Spoelstra has to figure out, and what even he doesn't know yet.

Thinking more about it, there are plenty of omissions worth mentioning as there are with any list, but the one I probably would go to bat for the hardest would be Mads Mikkelsen in The Hunt (2012).

Same goes for Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. If we're "rewarding" Heath Ledger (rightfully) for creating an icon, don't see why McKellen and Depp shouldn't meet the same criteria. Doesn't matter what later movies in those series did with the characters, though McKellen is innocent.

Will always say that lists, at least lists done with proper intent, are very hard to make.

But considering this was a democratic process, I'm surprised Ian McKellen's Gandalf didn't show up.

Has it been long enough that we can discuss how awful the stinger was for Fantastic Four? Actually managed to sap enthusiasm out of my soul.

It's mid-August and the three best movies this year are all horror. What a time. Don't know that that's ever happened before, especially in a way where even non-horror fans would agree.

(Black Bag is in the discussion, though.)

We're in very good hands. All the money is on the screen, too.

One episode in, Alien: Earth very, very clearly has the juice.

Still liked the first 40ish minutes a good bit, while it feels like a real movie, but when it falls off it falls off hard.

Couper Moorhead @coupnba.bsky.social · Jul 30

The main issue with Happy Gilmore 2 - beyond the silly, presumably Netflix mandated clips from the original to sell callback jokes - is that most of the cameos aren’t naturally funny people, only highlighted by Jon Lovitz earning a big laugh in all of 15 seconds.

It has script issues for sure, but it had a filmmaking perspective and has some very creative bits.

I’m definitely higher on Eternals and Strange 2.

My brother was really high on it walking out of the theater and I told him I’ll be proven right in four months when he watches it again at home. Just hard to rate it as low as Cap 4 because it’s at least competent.

Couper Moorhead @coupnba.bsky.social · Jul 29

Still think it’s fine, but the more I sit with FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS the more I think, given time and context, it may be the safest and least ambitious project in the entire MCU. It’s startling how disinterested it is in being interesting beyond character sketches.

Couper Moorhead @coupnba.bsky.social · Jul 25

Not my favorite either, but I’m also not going to call something so whelming a win. It’s an oddly small movie, given the stakes.

Couper Moorhead @coupnba.bsky.social · Jul 25

It’s great that all F4 fans get something competent (at minimum) but it will be a massive disappointment if we’re walking out of theaters after X-MEN in a couple years with the same welp and a shrug most of my opening night audience seemed to have.

Couper Moorhead @coupnba.bsky.social · Jul 25

FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is aggressively fine while serving its characters well for future projects, but the MCU was built on many aggressively fine movies - with exceptions- that served its characters well for future projects. So, it’s all fine, if not encouraging.
