• 399th RF!
• Just in case you missed my epic post from earlier this week. Yes, I am very proud of it. 
• Comic Con is happening right now. Here's new It: Chapter Two poster, the trailer got its separate post because it was so dope.
• Tom Cruise showed up and the crowd went wild. He was there to present the first trailer for Top Gun sequel. Oh God when did Ed Harris age so much? Especially that Cruise didn't age at all and there's like only 10 years of age difference between them.
• The trailer for Cats is out and it's fucking nightmare fuel. Oh my God!
•  David Benioff and DB Weiss chickened out and dropped out of Game of Thrones panel that is supposed to happen today. My God, I have never seen a show face such a (deserved) hate. The shame will follow these two no matter what, they are completely fucked. And the actors are probably going to have to deal with their mess today. 
• Emmy nominations are out and they are garbage. How out of touch are they? Pretty much everyone out there considers the final season of Thrones to be an absolute embarrassment and they give it over 30 nominations? I cannot believe Gwendoline Christie and Alfie Allen are finally nominated and it's for this tragique season. I'm so glad about Emilia Clarke, though. It's remarkable how much she managed to do with so very little. But where the fuck are the nominations for Deadwood? It's also unbelievable how everyone keeps snubbing Eliza Scanlen for Sharp Objects left and right. TV awards are really dumber than movie ones.
• About me, the visit to the dentist I was freaking out last week went really well! I was there for maybe 10 minutes and it was only for a cleaning because remarkably, there was no problems. If you are scared to go to any kind of doctor, just go, because you will convince yourself things are much worse than they actually are.
• I'm on my vacay which is great because I don't have to see my office for 2 weeks. Oh, it is glorious. I am reading fiction, for the first time in weeks, which is to say I'm trying to finally finish It. I also went to the zoo to visit my animal friends and to the beach for a walk (I can't sunbathe because I would burst into flames).
• I saw Annabelle Comes Homes and it was the best Conjuring universe movie in a while. It was awesome to see Vera and Patrick in new scenes. The movie wasn't as good as the previous Annabelle film but it was much, much better than The Nun.
• I also saw The Curse of La Llrona which is part of the universe too, via a very clumsy and dumb connection. My congrats to Daddy Hopper (*roars like a tiny kitten as she writes those two words*) because Hellboy is no longer the worst movie of the year, this is. It barely had any script and it was built around jump scares. It was lame as hell.
• I watched Alita: Battle Angel. Meh. The score was nice but the film was quite boring and Waltz, Ali and Connelly had absolutely thankless roles.
• I also rewatched Carpenter's The Thing because I wanted to after watching Stranger Things 3 and I rewatched the 2011 prequel for it which is really quite enjoyable and ties to the movie nicely. Obviously the 1982 one is a much better movie, though and the special effects are still gross as hell.
• In a straight up shocking turn of events, The Lion King remake is not getting good reviews. The critics are complaining about the animals not being expressive enough and the lack of creativity. I'm stunned because with Disney basically owing the movie business their movies usually get far better reviews than they deserve. But those remakes are the worst. The only good one is Cinderella and that's precisely because it didn't feel like a remake and it didn't have their usual style over substance, ugly as hell color palette, excessive CGI look to it.
• Anyways, this made me laugh so hard.
• New, and much better, trailer for Ad Astra.
• Enchanting first pictures from Last Christmas:
• 
• In best news of the week, Woody Harrelson got drunk at Wimbledon and this whole thread is pure magic.
• Really lame trailer for The King's Man. The sequel was bad, the title is bad and now the trailer is bad.
• This is what you get for cancelling Santa Clarita Diet, Netflix!
• How dumb is Scarlett Johansson? Jesus Christ. I'll see the solo because of Florence and David (this is adorable, by the way), but man, I feel bad for them that they have to work with something this stupid. Between her time in MCU coming to end and her other films flopping left and right, hopefully after this film she will disappear. 
• Can Marvel stop hiring such garbage and making it rich, or is it too much to ask?
• Thankfully, they also hired Taika again to make Thor 4, because as we all know, this is ALL Hemsworth has. 
• They let Keanu out of whatever hole they were hiding him in! Still no beard.
• 
• So I rewatched The Gift and it was even worse and more boring than I remember. I also correctly guessed the killer within first 20 minutes (it's been like 15 years since I saw that movie so I didn't remember the plot). Keanu was actually much better here than in his other 'not nice' roles and he played a douche as convincingly as someone so sweet can.
• More adorable interviews with Stranger Things cast (1,2)
• I rewatched the third season again, for the third time in 2 weeks. And it was probably my thirstiest livetweet yet.
• Seriously go through that thread, I have literally no shame.
• I also kept rewatching certain moments a lot.
• 
• A LOT.
• There is this new thing with him on Netflix which I haven't seen yet because I don't think my ovaries can take it.
• I love this man. 
• And where are his pants? This is so distracting.
• This! And this! And THIS! And the THIRST in the replies!
• He is serving a truly unique blend of giving us hope AND ripping out our hearts.
• Clearly I'm losing my mind. But you gotta admit my idea is pretty great.
