House of Gucci is in my top 3 of Most Anticipated Films coming out later this year. (The other two being Dune and Last Night in Soho.) And I have to say the first trailer… it did not disappoint.
Now if someone could just explain that Burberry ad to me.
Possibly my favorite event of the year in Book World is the Booker Prize. I usually find a ton of new books to read and some real winners I wouldn’t have heard of or necessarily tried otherwise.
And this year for the first time I have actually read some of the books!
So from the trailer and even from reading about it I feared the Aladdin vibes would be strong in Wish Dragon- and they are definitely there don’t get me wrong- but this story about a magic wish granting dragon was different in all the right ways.
And for me that makes it worth a watch.
There’s a new Dune trailer at long last!!!
And it’s so pretty. I mean it provides so much to chew over including the fact despite some major push back from the director it’s still day and date for HBOMax on October 22…
The shortlist of actresses for the new Batgirl movie is out and as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl is one of my top DC characters (and we’re never getting a live-action Ivy) I can tell you who I most want is…
A new screenwriter for the film.
I tried reading Antonia Fraser’s biography of Mary Queen of Scots back when the movie came out (naturally) but 50+ some pages in and 12,000 Mary’s later I DNF’ed it. Luckily this was a bit more streamlined and a lot less scholarly.
I mean she turns into a mouse in this one so no kidding right?
So Loki came to an end.
I thought it was wild, ambitious, imaginative and mostly fun. But also I’m a little torn on it. For some reasons probably not it’s fault but some are. And some due to the nature of the beast that is Marvel I don’t think I can get a handle on until we see other parts of the story.

Okay I’ll admit of all the nominations I was excited about this morning it was probably Kathryn Hahn’s that I was most excited about!
Kathryn, Elizabeth and Paul all got nominations for Wandavision which also is nominated for best Limited Series. Well-deserved in my opinions. The Boys is also up for Best Drama…
We made it to Black Widow!
Finally Natasha Romanoff gets her own movie and also finally… we get to see it! Overall I enjoyed it very much but I can’t help but think she deserved a stronger entry into the Marvel canon and also maybe Marvel TV is ruining things for me.
SPOILERS BELOW!
Finally a Witcher season 2 trailer! And a date 🙂 Another early Christmas gift the show will hit Netflix on December 17th.
