Well, I’m hearing that there have been some scenes that have leaked out from the third act. Didn’t hear anything specific and I’m keeping it that way.
Was going to wait until the begining of next week to go dark, but I’m going dark now. Consider yourself warned if you want to avoid...
I always go pee about 5-10 minutes before showtime. If everything is working ok 2 to 2.5 hrs between pees shouldn’t be a problem for me. But I’m in my 40’s and things can sometimes be good and other times not so good. So there’s always a bit bit of the random shit factor there.
For a 3 hour...
I got my tickets for Friday at 7PM in Cinemark XD.
Pretty much got my perfected seat too, just off by one. I set my alarm for 8AM and immediately opened my Cinemark app on my phone. Since I just woke up I wasn’t on point. I thought there was a block of 4 already sprawled across my preferred...
I rarely go on opening Thursday nights. Just doesn’t work for me. I usually try to go Friday night on opening weekend. It sucks to have to go on a total media blackout, but that’s what I do. No talk radio, no social media (that one’s easy since I’m not a fan of social media), absolutely no...
I’m a contemporary of Joe Russo. I loved Star Wars and was excited about Empire, but I knew nothing of the reveal, nor did anyone I knew.
The major difference here, as he mentioned, is the internet and social media. Information spreads around the world in minutes. Stuff pops up even if you...
Great interview here with Joe Russo (obviously 100% spoiler free).

Note: The interview was given one month ago.
Here are few good excerpts:
Some interesting quotes from the Russos:
“We talked about all scales of marketing,” said Joe Russo. “The thing that’s most important to us is that we preserve the surprise of the narrative. When I was a kid and saw The Empire Strikes Back at 11am on the day it opened…It so profoundly moved me...
I think that speculation based on what was in previous movies and in publicly released trailers should be fair game. But I wouldn’t argure too hard against being cautious about discussing thing from trailers for the reason Adam mentioned above.
However, speculation based on a knowledge of a...
I love that they are still staying relatively low key with the trailer. No big money shots required to market this and its best to know as little as possible going in.
Can’t wait!
Those lists all seem to be pretty on point.
I would say that the Guardians movies are pretty important as well. The main reason is that the biggest death in the movie separate from all those who were “snapped” is Gamora (of course Loki is pretty major as well, but his death starts the movie...
If it has to be only one, then that would be it.
If there’s any possibility of squeezing in a second, I’d recommend The Winter Soldier as well. Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame all share the same writing team and directing team. And while there is a narrative that pulls...
There won’t be an intermission.
The Russo’s said that they're still working on the movie, and Joe said that they "joke about [an intermission] in the edit room.”
"We've screened the movie four times for audiences now," Anthony added. "For the first three screenings, not a single person got up...
I’m trying to figure out who is walking behind Rocket.
I see Cap, Thor, Nat, Rocket, ?Bruce/Scott?, War Machine and I think Barton behind him.
But is that Bruce or Scott?
I could see where you are coming from, but think that could be tough to do. While this is meant to be a culmination of the MCU up to this point I don’t think the break or division will be that clean with many of the characters.
You could look at it as isolating the overall MCU arc from Iron...
I’m pretty sure Strange DID try that. It didn’t work.
Strange looked onto 14,000,605 possible futures where different things were tried and nothing worked except in the one when things happened the way he let them be set up here.
That is basically the narrative point of that whole scene. No...
That would be fine too, and would be a more traditional/inside the box approach. But it seems that they have been handling the marketing of this film differently than their typical films and I’m thinking of how that might continue next.
If they attach the trailer to play in front of Captain...
I think it would be cool if Marvel didn’t release the next trailer until Captain Marvel hits theaters and puts it as the tag at the end of the credits (waiting until after opening weekend to put it online). Would work much better, especially if it features Captain Marvel.
Have a Captain Marvel...
Also, the screen with Scott at the gate shows “archive” in the upper left. Maybe insignificant and it is just from hours/days earlier when they weren’t there? Maybe it’s just an option that can be selected but isn’t what they are watching? Maybe significant related to timey-wimey shenanigans?
