be able to revisit the character in a fourth movie. Naturally, when
Marvel approached him to reprise his role in Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)'s stinger and this film, he jumped at the chance. Simmons also expressed excitement in adapting Jameson to the modern-day era,
describing him more as a media blowhard than a newspaper editor. To make
up for the fact that his character was now bald, Simmons insisted on
keeping Jameson's cigar and mustache for this film, due to wanting to
have some aspects from his portrayal in Sam Raimi's trilogy to carry

This movie was supposed to have come out *after* the Doctor Strange
sequel, which would have introduced the multiverse concept first. In
that case, the multiversal portals would have been opened by the
character from that movie whose power is opening portals to the
multiverse. Which would have made more sense then how they did it in
this movie.

I was at the D23 Expo, I'm guessing it must have been 2019, when the
Sony / Marvel deal was very publicly falling apart. And word had come
out that there may be no more Tom Holland in the MCU, like maybe the day before. And Tom Holland had to come out on stage. He must have been promoting, "Spies in Disguise" which he made for Fox, but Disney had
just purchased and was releasing. He did not look happy, and obviously
he couldn't say anything but everyone in the audience knew what was
going on. It was a very awkward situation.

What Did You Watch?
I was going to respond to Ian's post. But my horrible newsreader with
all of its' weird errors won't let me. I can't even open it to read it anymore. Now when I click on it some other random post appears. :-/
Anyway, I did a lot of DVR clearing and watched:
Law & Order: Organized Crime - "Crossroads" - I didn't follow this episode.
Chucky - "Panic Room" - Episode 6 which picking up after last episode, Chucky has murdered the President and is trying to launch nukes. The
White House chief of staff is actually pretty good at his job. He knows something supernatural is at play and has brought in a double until they
can come up with a more palatable way to explain the President's death. Meanwhile Chucky has made his way to the bunker with plans to order a
nuke strike unless the kids can somehow stop him. I'll admit I like the show and the over the top nature of everything. But I just couldn't
suspend my disbelief with the total lack of any real security on the
bunker room or the ease at which Chucky was able to order a nuke strike.
And how many people has Chucky brutally murdered inside the White House
with no one ever hearing anything? Come on!!! I'm not even going to
bring up how the kids were able to also get into the White House and
into the bunker too!!! I did get a chuckle out of Chucky being so petty
he wanted to nuke the north pole so all the kids would know there is no Santa Clause.
A Gentleman in Moscow (Showtime) "The Last Rostov" - Episode from last
week. I'm about done with this show.
Parish (AMC) - "Sanctuary" - Episode from last week. I guess it's OK so far.
Ghosts - I caught up on the last three episodes.
"Hello, Brother" - Trevor's brother shows up at the manor to basically
scam free services. Meh.
"The Polterguest" - Alberta falls for a poltergeist who is attached to people instead of places. This was pretty good.
"Holes Are Bad" - This was a really good one and saw the return of
Flower, who was stuck in a well. Since ghosts can stand on ground, but
not touch walls, getting her out is difficult especially with the two
living people out of town. I always wondered about how/why they wrote
out Flower. But with her sudden return, I'm guessing this was strictly
an actress issue. My guess is she was either pregnant or shooting a movie.

I definitely posted something this morning (and on ep. 4).
I can see it, and DT could obviously see it. Not sure why you and Anim can't.
FWIW, NovaBBS has my post:
https://www.novabbs.com/arts/thread.php?group=rec.arts.tv
Anyway, I was just going to comment that the guy who voiced the robot on
Fallout is also on "What We Do in the Shadows."
Yeah, I saw that on Wiki.

I sat through this plodding, dreadful inept quasi horror movie entirely because Chelsea Clark from Degrassi (Ian Alert!) Is a cutie pie. 🥰

I tend to try and watch the movies in terms of when they were released

Hey, but you can bet when the public utility commission or the FCC
asks them you are included in the homes that have the service
available. It's not their fault if you never requested a service from
them that they never offered you.
