Per Variety, Warner Brothers has announced today that Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot will be returning for a third installment in the Wonder Woman franchise.
Richard Garriott revealed in an interview today that he smuggled the remains of James Doohan (Scotty from
Star Trek: The Original Series) along with a photo of Doohan aboard the International Space Station back in 2008 when he went on a twelve day mission as a private astronaut. It was, according to Garriott and Doohan’s son, Doohan’s final wish. A wish that had been denied officially two previous times, which is why Garriott resorted to more clandestine means to get the remains aboard. It’s comforting to know that our beloved Scotty got his beam-up!

Tenet. Quite frankly, this rundown is about all that I want to see of
Tenet going forward.
Nolan’s
Tenet made waves with its trippy things-are-moving-backwards trailers, then was seen often in the news as Warner Bros. debated what to do with a massive movie whose release was delayed and then delayed some more by the pandemic.
When
Tenet did finally hit theaters in September, it was with more of a confused whimper than a roar. Most reviews were decidedly unenthusiastic, and many reactions that I’ve seen as of late, after the movie hit streaming, have been of the head-scratching, I’m-bored kind. I’m not sure how a huge film with a talented cast and a $205 million+ budget managed to make time travel shenanigans and cool as hell special effects into an “almost unbearably draining” slog, but this seems to be the general takeaway.
