Youtube movie reviewers hated A Minecraft Movie, but it’s making bank in the theaters, so it was worth a try.
It’s a turn-off-your-brain movie, but there are some funny lines and nothing is too irritating.

Disney Puts Tangled Live-Action Remake on Hold
After losing what will be hundreds of millions of dollars on the live-action remake of the movie, Snow White, Disney is holding off on the live-action remake of Tangled. A problem with Snow White, was the decision to make several changes to the movie late in the production. Re-shoots drove up the cost and made the plot less coherent.
Disney may be rethinking their approach to live-action remakes.
Actor Richard Chamberlain just passed away at 90 years old.
Chamberlain was trying to be an American Peter O’Toole. He was a little much. Chamberlain started out as the lead character in a medical drama, Dr. Kildare, in 1961, then bounced around doing TV movies and being a guest star on other TV shows. He kind of settled on mini-series.
He seemed kind of cheesy, so I knew what he was in, but don’t recall ever watching any of it.
Out of the 27 superheroes in Avengers: Doomsday, these are the five female characters. Something has gone wrong with the women.
Firm wins Space Force funding to provide an “aircraft carrier” in orbit.
Such a module would isolate the satellites from the space environment, sparing their batteries and sensitive electronics from harsh thermal cycles every 90 minutes, and provide some shielding from radiation. In addition, the orbital carrier would obfuscate the satellites inside from observation by other nations or hostile actors in space. Then, when a satellite is needed, it can be deployed into multiple orbits by the carrier.
This reminds me of the comedy/science fiction/action movie, Iron Sky (2012).
Little people to rally outside Disney Studios in protest of Snow White
Dozens of Hollywood’s smallest stars will stage a mass protest outside Disney Studios this week to rail against the controversial new Snow White movie – which has replaced the seven dwarfs with computer-generated ‘cartoons.’
I’m with the little fellas on this one.
I’m watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie called The 6th Day (2000). In the not too distant future, a company can illegally clone people. With a live person or fresh body, they can turn out a duplicate in a day or two. The clone is the same age, looks the same and has the memories of the original. The clone wakes up a little discombobulated, but doesn’t know he’s a clone.
A few weeks ago, I started watching the Popcorn In Bed Youtube channel. It’s a reaction channel featuring two cute blondes watching movies. The movies are chosen by member surveys and are generally very good. The channel is an easy way to watch a familiar movie in a half-hour rather than a couple of hours.
The two women are charming, and started the channel with virtually no knowledge of movies. Initially, they weren’t familiar with actors such as Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis. They don’t know much about history or other topics that might be considered “common knowledge”. It’s usually cute, but occasionally astounding.
My brother has been watching a Youtube channel called, Popcorn in Bed, so I tried it. A cute, mid-30’s woman reacts to a movie she is watching for the first time. Cassie is chatty, sweet and naïve.
