Michael B. Jordan officially directing ‘Creed 3’ and it’s dropping Thanksgiving, 2022!
Michael B. Jordan is officially directing Creed 3, and the fucker is dropping next Thanksgiving. I fucking loved Creed. Could have given or taken Creed 2. So, what’s to get me stoked about a third flick? Michael B. Jordan directing! Like, is he good? I don’t know! Is he bad? I don’t know! But am I eager to find out the answer? Oh fuck yeah.
Sylvester Stallone directing ‘Creed 2’, which is both stunningly boring and dumb to me
Creed was fantastic because it was an interesting spin on the Rocky franchise. It excelled because it allowed a new filmmaker to explore the franchise’s mythos, while injecting his own take. have absolutely no fucking desire to see old ass, redundant Stallone once again return to the director’s chair.
Ryan Coogler in talks ‘Black Panther’, starring majority-black cast
Ryan Coogler is a fucking director, man. Fruitvale Station had oomph, and Creed is in my top five of the year. So I’m stoked to see him officially directing Black Panther, with word also coming that it’s going to feature a mostly-black cast. Which, makes sense, but with Hollywood, man. Who knows. Look at Exodus, or that other Egyptian nightmare movie coming.
Filmmaker Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) directing Marvel’s Black Panther movie
Ah! This is a legit free agent signing for Marvel. The Studio has snagged the director of the wonderful Creed and the powerful Fruitvale Station, Ryan Coogler, to helm their Black Panther movie. Tremendous move. It’s not “official” yet, but goddamn is it ever looking close.
Monday Morning Commute: Life Is What It Makes Of You
Hey, friends. Come in, but come in quickly. It’s cold outside, and I don’t want the fire from the wood stove leaking out into the unforgiving late Autumn atmosphere. But I’m glad you’re joining me on this Monday. What am I up to? Oh! This here is Monday Morning Commute, the weekly column where I share with you what’s doing down in my life. I cave in admittance to the various songs, shows, books, and video games that I’m clinging to in an attempt to Successfully Surf the Life Existential.
Thanksgiving Week Commute: Drunk On Turkey and Stuffed With Love
Ah, yeah! It’s Thanksgiving Week! Which means the most glorious span of six weeks or so is kicking off! Holiday season! Days upon days of getting fat, fiddling with candy canes (interpret that as you will), getting fat, drinking with friends, getting fat, playing video games, and this year, seeing TheWarStars Movie over and over again!
Typically we rock a Monday Morning Commute here, but what the fuck. Let’s go nuts. A lot of people are already off, a lot of people are going to be off, and those who aren’t getting any time off are obviously welcome to use this place as a refuge.
Michael B. Jordan starring in ‘Rocky’ spin-off, ‘Creed’
There’s a Rocky spin-off coming. What the fuck, right? But! Perhaps room for some reticent optimism? I mean. For example. For! For example. Did any of us think Lego Movie was needed? Or would be good? Nah! So there. And. Second. Second! Second. Michael B. Jordan is a hell of an actor.
