Thursdays are supposed to be my "easy" or even "off" day this semester,
but two work meetings and the necessity of writing up a meeting agenda
ended up killing my day enough that I didn't really watch a movie
yesterday, though I did get through soaps:
soaps: GH - Wed's ep. As expected, Nina was interrupted, by a mean-
spirited Tracy Q., before she could tell Willow about her affair with
Drew; then after Alexis drags Tracy off, Willow has a lovefest with
Nina, so Nina ends up not telling Willow the truth (gee, who didn't see
this coming?!...). Alexis tells Tracy to back off Drew (and Willow) lest
she drive them, and Alexis' granddaughter, out of town... Jason and
Sasha explain their "baby daddy" situation to Danny, and get Danny to
agree to keep quiet about Jason not being the father (Sasha would not
admit to Danny who the father really is). Anna hauls Josslyn into the
cop shop, and charges her with trespassing, after Josslyn plays coy
about independently investigating Cyrus. This leaves Lulu, who has zero food-server experience, in charge of the diner, which goes about as well
as you'd expect, until she's bailed out by Dante. (I love that they have completely forgotten that Lulu had liver surgery just mere weeks ago!!) Martin tries to talk Cyrus down after Jason confronted him, but gets
nowhere; later, Cyrus continues to stalk and obsess about Elizabeth.
Carly and NuBrennan hit a bar, where Lucas and Maxie are already
meeting, and the latter both give the former a piece of their minds.
DOOL - Thur's ep. EJ is shocked to discover a captive Ava at the old mansion, and is about to free her when he is confronted by Kristen's
mommy, Rachel Blake, who cuts a deal with EJ - he will keep quiet about captive Ava, if she will keep quiet about EJ holding Rafe (Kristen's
mommy doesn't seem to know who Rafe is) captive in the mansion's attic.
(When are Ava and Rafe going to cross paths?!) Sarah confronts Kristen
at a bar, but it kind of backfires and Sarah may have made Kristen
suspicious about Philip and his claim to Titan. Xander violently
confronts NuPhilip, but Philip explains the situation, and then Xander
is all lovey-dovey and wants to bury the hatchet.
Y&R - Tue's & Wed's ep's. Summer's having a bad time - she enjoys
her time with Kyle and their son working on a school project, but then
Claire calls and Summer looks all sour and jealous; later, Summer runs
into Sharon, who wants forgiveness, but Summer righteously rebuffs both Sharon and Nick on the subject (Nick is major cringe about Sharon right
now [roll] ); still later, Summer runs into Claire in person, and she is
a passive-aggressive bitch to Claire (in fact, they were both kind of passive-aggressive bitches to each other). RealDamian shows up, and his
mom, Amy, tells Damian the truth - that she's dying, and that the man
who raised him wasn't his biological father, and that Nate is Damian's half-brother - the dude does not take the news well! In the Wednesday
ep, Billy and Sally have a romantic time in Paris. Daniel agrees to work
with Filis[sic!] in Billy's new business venture, but probes Filis about whether she is (romantically!) jealous of Sally (something I hadn't considered!).
After dinner, I didn't bother to watch a real movie - I rewatched
"Betrayed by Love" (with Sara Ball! (no relation??...)) on LMN.

I was just wondering whatever happened to Xander. Not that I have the slightest idea who *this* Xander is, but Xander just needs to be with
his friend Willow. ;-)

After dinner, I didn't bother to watch a real movie - I rewatched
"Betrayed by Love" (with Sara Ball! (no relation??...)) on LMN.
What did you watch?
I watched:
Invincible (Amazon streaming) - "You Were My Hero" - Season 3, episode
4. This episode was split in two halves. The first half had Mark being kidnapped to the future to reluctantly help save future humanity. The
second half focused on Allen the alien helping to break Mark's father
out of prison. The highlight of the second half was the return of
Battle Beast. I've been looking forward to seeing him again since season 1.
Law and Order - "Duty to Protect" - Covered by Adam in a separate thread.
Captain America: Brave New World (theatrical) - Picking up after the
events of "The Incredible Hulk" (this is almost a sequel to Hulk), "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," and "Eternals," Sam Wilson (Anthony
Mackie) is the new Captain America, Joaquin Toerres (Danny Ramirez)is
the new Falcon, and Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) is the U.S. President.
President Ross is dealing with the international fallout from the
events of "Etenals" with the local major powers scrambling to the
celestial island, with Ross determined to claim it for the U.S. Ross is
also trying to reconnect with his daughter, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler who
hasn't been in the MCU since The Incredible Hulk). Meanwhile Samuel
Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson reprising his role from "The Incredible Hulk")
looks slightly more comic accurate and is out for revenge against Ross.
He sets in motion a convoluted scheme and it's up to Captain America to
save the day.
It's common knowledge that this movie had massive reshoots and as part
of the reshoots Giancarlo Esposito was added as "Sidewinder" the leader
of the Serpent Society. He's brought in as basically Stern's muscle.
His scenes are probably the better scenes, Giancarlo is going to
Giancarlo, but they do feel a bit inserted in. I also noticed a scene involving the President Ross' personal Black Widow where she shows up
with what appears to be wearing a super hero costume under her jacket,
but she's never shown in any other scene in the movie wearing a costume.
I suspect all of the scenes of her in costume got cut. And the
scenes/plot involving the Japanese President felt like they were from
the earlier version of the movie before reshoots and left unresolved as
a result. I still have *no* idea how Sterns was able to control people.
Yeah, he's a super genius, but they never showed how he got the upper
hand. I don't know if that was left on the cutting room floor or a
victim of reshoots. It's not *that* important, you can read between the lines, super evil genius, that's how he did it, but it would have been
nice to *see* a flashback of him setting things in motion.
That's not to say the movie bad. Far from it. I liked it. I thought
it was OK. Not great or anything. It's not "The Avengers" and Captain America is not battling an alien invasion. It's an Earthbound movie
with Captain America trying to stop an evil genius from causing Ross to
Hulk out. If you've seen the commercials, you already know how well
that goes.
Saved for later: Law and Order: SVU.
After an arduous workout, I watched:
Nothing.

I'm afraid I may have to disagree with. Disney knows exactly what they
are doing. It's just that their decisions are horrible but they feel
no need to change direction.

Ah, that may not be the case. At least from what I've seen Larson has
learned to try and keep quiet on subjects outside of the movie she's
helping promote. According to one video she even responded to a
question from a reporter with a comment that there was no good answer
to that question. So they can learn, even if it takes a few years and
multiple mistakes.
What I meant is that Disney hasn’t learned to muzzle these morons. Larson >may have learned but luckily for the audience it’s probably too late. Her >career seems to be over.
They used to have handlers who went with these people on the press junkets
to keep them in line. They either need to do something like that or just
stop letting them talk to the public or you know fine them $1 million every >time they say something obviously injurious to the project.

You would think they would reinstate them after the first few flubs.
After all Larson certainly managed to help tank her MCU movies with
her comments. So it was clearly in Disney's advantage to help coach
Larson on what not to say. Same goes for that Zegler gal (Snow White).
Yes, SNOW WHITE was always going to have some issues but she didn't
help sell the movie.
