Happy Easter weekend. I hope you are full of chocolate eggs and, maybe, the vaccine, if you’ve been able to access it. Still waiting over here. It’s fine. I’ve literally nowhere else to go right now. Welcome to April, friends.
After months of drips and drabs at the box office, thanks to theater closures and a sheer lack of major releases, we finally saw a big splash with the grosses. Of course, if you want to make a big splash, it helps to have a giant monster of some kind.

Gone Fishin’. And judging by Hollywood’s recent output, he’s totally right.
I’ve been sitting in empty movie theatres for months now, often having to sneak in through bathroom windows just to get a front row seat to big screens showing absolutely nothing, and I’m as baffled as a layman would be at episode eight of
