Who’s the Strongest Marvel Character? Let’s Settle This.

Hot take: Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch (girl power, duh), Vision, then maybe Sentry or Thor? My list is all over the place lol—started writing this and suddenly remembered 10 more OP characters.

Matthew Alan Schmidt: It's obviously Squirrel Girl

Notes to my younger indie filmmaker self - Run N Gun Discussion

We want to hear the stories of what you learned as your journey as a filmmaker. So if you could go back in time and give your younger indie filmmaker self some advice, what would that be?

Joel McCarthy: I was so convinced at 10, having no connections to the industry that I was going to spend my life making movies. It was the only thing I could imagine doing, and I guess I never grew out of it. I’d come up with a silly idea and I had to shoot it as soon as possible. By the time I reached adulthood I must have directed like 50 short films (most of them were lost with time, or are sitting on tapes somewhere in my parents storage). Nonetheless i’m still so nostalgic about this time in my life where I didn’t need fancy toys, or a ton of money to create I just itched all of my creative impulses like they were mosquito bites. In young adulthood and through film school I continued this intense passion to create but it started to be poised with these other feelings of “This has to blow up”, “This has to win awards” and “this has to be a hit movie or i’m nothing” til eventually I’d pick apart every idea I had until I hated it and then I wouldn’t shoot something. Then large chunks of time would go by and I would continue to not make something new because I had this self inflicted pressure of feeling whatever I do it has to be incredible or I’m a failure. It’s not until I hit my 30’s that I realized that the best part of making films wasn’t winning the awards, or having a film go viral or selling out theatres… It was the act of making something creative with my friends that meant everything. So my advice to my young self is keep it up, my advice to myself 10 years ago would be to stop obsessing about things out of your control and just make something with your friends. I’ve been lucky enough to make projects with budgets ranging from $50-1.5 million dollars and as I reflect on life now, the films I made with no pressure, no resources, and no money were my glory days. And I hope I can get my head out of my ass more and create for the sake of fun. I don’t need another trophy on my shelf, creating art with your friends is what souths your soul. So go out there and south your soul.

Are We Reviewing Films or Farming Likes?

Hey… is it just me or are the comment sections here slowly turning into a graveyard of “Hey! Great post! Check out mine too!” spam? I’ve been spending hours writing thoughtful articles, digging deep into film analysis, and 80% of the replies are just bots (or humans pretending to be bots?) fishing for likes and traffic. It’s starting to feel like we’re all just screaming into a void filled with engagement-hungry ghosts. Not trying to be salty (okay, maybe a little), but… is anyone else feeling this? Like, can we have an actual conversation about movies without it turning into a like-for-like trade deal? I love this platform. I love that we get to talk film. But I also want it to feel real. Anyone out there still commenting with their actual fingers and not a copy-paste shortcut? Would love to hear your thoughts—real ones. Let’s make the comments section cool again.

Bob Woolsey: Amen! I agree. Those spam comments are annoying. We're actively working on a bunch of ways to create a healthier conversation.

What's the best final destination kill?

I've been rewatching some of the Final Destination films in preparation for Bloodlines, and the Rube Goldberg death sequences never fail to entertain me. The train crash from the end of 3 in particular was super effective, in my opinion. I love the slow reveal of characters on the train, the failed emergency break when they try to intervene, and the fact that we never see the actual crash, only the premonition. What's your favourite death trap in the Final Destination series? And if its from Bloodlines, fair game, but I would love a spoiler warning!

Matthew Alan Schmidt: It's gotta be that log kill. Driving on the highway behind one of those trucks will never be the same.

In honour of Mother's Day, who's your favourite or least favourite onscreen mom?

I remember the first time I watched Easy A I fell in love with Olive, but I also fell in love with her parents. Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson have impeccable chemistry, Patricia is such a cool mom, without ever becoming a “cool mom.” I just know she's fun at parties.

Ishika Banerjee: Lorelai Gilmore and Emily gilmore

Do you think Citzen Kane is an overrated movie?

This is a film that is tend to teach in film classes. But i found really annoying that is the only example and prime, but there‘s so much underrated movies to teach in film class.

Carlos Norcia: I still have so much fun watching it, even though I had to watch it for class, that I don't feel like it's overrated.But I like The Trial even more than Citizen Kane!

Anyone else obsessed with Season 2 of The Rehearsal like I am???

I've been a huge fan of Nathan Fielder since his This Hour Has 22 Minutes days, and my respect and admiration for him and his work has only grown with each subsequent project. Season 1 of The Rehearsal was incredibly original, fairly contained, and managed to balance hefty amounts of absurd humour with a seriously hard-hitting finale that brought tears to my eyes. Season 2 kicked off with a much more serious tone and wider scope. It seems Nathan is trying to use his influence to incite true positive change within the aviation industry. In the first episode of the season, he even wrestles with the dilemma of doing so under the guise of a “comedy” program, and if the two goals can even be aligned. Does Nathan risk undermining his obligation to HBO by prioritizing aviation safety over entertainment — and can a “comedy TV series” even support that kind of systemic investigation? The Rehearsal S02E03 Well, S02E03 crushed all doubts. Not only did Nathan deliver what may be one of the year's best episodes of television, but he also made some key insights into the issue at hand, all whilst delivering some of the most absurd and hilarious comedic set pieces I have ever seen. I really think this man is a genius. Everything he touches is gold, and he's pioneering an entire new brand of blended fiction and reality storytelling. After last week's episode, I have absolutely no idea where this season is headed but I am on the edge of my seat waiting to find out. What does everyone else think about the season so far? And if you haven't checked it out yet, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? New episodes are out Sundays on HBO/Crave — a perfect cooldown after white-knuckling your way through each new episode of The Last of Us. There are 9 episodes so far across S1 & 2, so you have plenty of time to catch up before the season concludes on May 25th.

Lucas.: I still gotta watch this. Season 1 was wild
