Over the last few months, anytime someone asked me what we should watch on TV I’ve said we should binge watch the entire season of WandaVision. The response is always a flat no.
Today in my sadness and bitterness and depression I binge watched all nine episodes of WandaVision.
I’m thinking tomorrow should either be Loki or season two of The Mandalorian.
We’ll see.
I am trying to come up with a Patches/Hawkeye pun and Cat Barton is the best I have. Sorry. I know it sucks.
We are up to date on Hawkeye.
Carry on.
A new episode of Hawkeye came out yesterday. We haven’t watched it because Harry is coming home tonight and we want to watch it with him. Yesterday morning I started seeing a lot of social media accounts tied to cast members from the now cancelled Marvel Netflix shows posting pictures of Charlie Cox. Uh oh. Is that a spoiler? Did Marvel announce something? Did he show up in Hawkeye? Even worse, does he show up in the new Spider-Man?
Spider-Man No Way Home is out in theaters now. Harry is going to put on a radiation haz-mat suit and see it in a theater next week. I am not. I will be waiting for it to come to Disney+.
I am now in full Spoiler Avoidance mode for both things. At least Hawkeye we can get out of the way quickly. No Way Home though… I don’t want to know anything, not even a tiny thing. Nothing. lalalalaICantHearYou.
I don’t think they have announced when No Way Home will start streaming. The only thing Google found was sometime in 2022. It’s going to be a long wait, folks. A long wait.
This one’s going to be a little depressing. Also kind of irrational and not very happy.
Jen has been re-watching Sex and the City and I’ve been coming along for the ride. We just watched a cheese puff episode that got really real and uncomfortable.
After seeing the World Trade Center twin towers in the opening credits, the episode opened at a party full of New York Firemen. We think the episode originally aired in 2000.
Reality and cheese puff fiction blurred for a moment as a character said he worked at a station in lower Manhattan. Jen and I exchanged uncomfortable looks and speculated that he was very likely dead.
Suddenly the show wasn’t quite as light and fun as it used to be. 20+ years and it is still painful.
So there I was, watching the latest episode of The Flash on The CW’s website and I see a commercial that used the song All You Need is Love.
Just days after the release of the amazing Get Back documentary I hear The Beatles in a friggin’ commercial.
You suck, Michael Jackson.
The story as I remember it is that during the dark days of Jackson and Paul McCartney writing songs together, Jackson asked Paul for financial advice and Paul suggested focusing on music publishing. Not long after, Jackson bought the publishing rights to The Beatles’ catalog. Not long after that, Revolution ended up in a commercial and the world has pretty much sucked ever since.
So I just saw All You Need is Love in a commercial and it’s Michael friggin’ Jackson’s fault. Asshole.
Hawkeye episode four has been watched. We are caught up. You may now discuss in front of me.
We are working on setting up a watch party so Jen, Harry, and I can watch episode four of Hawkeye together. In the meantime, given all of the DareDevil and Kingpin hype of the past few days, I have decided to start watching the Netflix DareDevil series again. Let’s say season one, at least.
In honor of this nerd avalanche, here is The Hallway Scene. About five and a half minutes of one steady cam shot that is as close as Marvel will ever come to freakin’ ballet.
Speaking of tomorrow’s episode of Hawkeye, are we going to see Wilson Fisk? Aka Kingpin? More specifically, are we going to see Kingpin played by Vincent D’Onofrio?
There were stories galore this week about MCU head Kevin Feige confirming that Charlie Cox will at some point reprise his role as Matt Murdock, aka DareDevil from the freakin masterpiece of a Netflix series. Vincent D’Onofrio killed it as Kingpin in that series and there are comic connections between that character and Hawkeye’s Echo.
I think we have three episodes left. Fingers crossed we finally see the MCU legitimize the Marvel Netflix shows. We know DareDevil is coming back in some way. What about Jessica Jones and Luke Cage and The Punisher and all of the assorted characters included in those shows? (and Iron Fist too, I guess… I guess)
All of the Netflix shows were ended way before their time. Disney+ needs to bring them back to life.
While they are at it they can give us more Quake and the rest of the Agents of Shield cast. Bring it on!
Tomorrow is going to be a weird day. I’m nearly done with the work task I mentioned before that I really wanted off my plate on Monday. I need to wrap that up and send it off, then go to a couple of meetings and then BAM! Half day. Yeah, I took the afternoon off for no good reason at all.
The only definite item on my post-work agenda is cooking dinner. Outside of that? No idea. I’d like to do some music. I have two songs ready to mix. If I can sneak out for some car music before work I might have some leads to record too. That’s a big if though.
There is a new Hawkeye episode tomorrow. Hopefully we can set up a watch party with Harry and all watch it together. We will see.
Based on what I’ve written so far I’m sure the question burning a hole in your very soul right now is, what am I cooking for dinner?
I’ll end this post with the life affirming, world rocking answer:
Spaghetti and meatballs. Awww yeah.
This is the scariest moment in cinematic history. Scarier than the scariest horror movie. No kidding, Freddy Krueger would have nightmares about this…
