Wisconsin is actually spelled Wisconsin, not Winsconsin with the first "n" silent.

These days Zodiac looks like a Marvel reunion in advance. A preunion.

Ha, nice spot! Three Sherlocks in Endgame, then - is that a record for the most actors known for playing the same part appearing in an unrelated film?

I thought this when watching The Martian recently, as it's rammed with Marvelites: Matt Damon, Benedict Wong, Donald Glover, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Chitwetel Ejiofor, Jessica Chastain.

I think the fact that Jeff Daniels and Sean Bean haven't been in a Marvel is really just an accident of history.

The music for Limmy's "Adventure Call" sketches is from Jean-Michel Jarre's "Equinox". Fucks sake.

Not sure this is obvious so much as completely counter-intuitive, but Netflix's new Mexican show Control Z has absolutely nothing to do with zombies.

Jordan Cronenweth - the cinematographer from off of Blade Runner - photographed Stop Making Sense.

Jordan Cronenweth - the cinematographer from off of Blade Runner - has a son - Jeff - who was a second camera shooter on Stop Making sense.

Jeff Cronenweth - the son of Jordan Cronenweth - the cinematographer from off of Blade Runner — is a cinematographer in his own right and photographed Fight Club.

All of the above was sparked by - you may have guessed - rewatching Stop Making Sense. After that I found a video of Kermit the Frog doing Once In A Lifetime while wearing a Big Suit[nb]I know. [/nb], and then realised that Jim Henson was a puppeteer rather than just a director or sutin, and also that he voiced Kermit.

The instant I read this post, I look out of my window, and there is a rainbow. Synchronicity.

Jude Law is in the MCU?

Yep - he's a major role in Captain Marvel, though doesn't cross into the other films unlike the other Watsons and Holmeses.

You in some dystopian science fiction, there is a mass media that is free to watch, to keep the population docile?

That's YouTube isn't it?
