Wicked: For Good defied every expectation I had as someone who doesn't love the second half on stage. I was skeptical of the decision to split it into two films, but #WickedForGood is tonally and visually distinct. Impeccable performances and grand staging make it a delightifying sequel.

It sure looks like AI was used in these #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl promotional videos, unless Taylor Swift has learned a new alphabet and retroactively redesigned the surprise song piano. (Though, as a caveat, it’s unclear how involved she is in this scavenger hunt and how much of it is Google.)

It’s an interesting choice to make four different signed variants of #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl but give them all the same cover with no distinguishing characteristics on the exterior. Also interesting to not have any of the signed inserts match that cover photo.

James Gunn has made an earnest and faithful #Superman adaptation. It lacks some of the style and heart of the Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker, but it's not surprising that Gunn would play it a bit more safe when dealing with the most iconic character of all time.
