#TheLongWalk is Shawshank and Stand By Me stretched across miles of gut-wrenching tarmac. This is unquestionably Francis Lawrence's best work to date. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

#WeaponsMovie is a bloody ball of string tied up in carefully tangled knots. Exceptional cast and some genuine gut flinching moments that’ll keep you hooked until its absolutely batshit ending. Better than Barbarian. I can’t wait to see it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Expanding on the history of one of the MCU’s coolest areas #EyesofWakanda strangely reminded me of #PredatorKillerofKillers in all the best ways. Gorgeous to look at and surprisingly violent, a visit into this nation’s past is another reassuring sign about the MCU’s future. Get it watched.

Impossible missions I genuinely think Tom Cruise can't have accomplished:
- Correctly placed his item in the bagging area every time.
- Opened a Pringles tube and every one of them is intact.
- Not gone "weeee" when he's flown a plane really high.

Fiction is becoming fact and its stomach churning
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Superman is on the way, but with Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning, you'll believe a man can't die. The fuse might not be burning as bright as some might like for a franchise finale, but you tell that to the screen legend when he's dangling from a plane or becoming a literal Cruise missile.⭐️⭐️⭐️
