X-Men OFFICIALLY Headed To Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wolverine to Be Recast

Alex Firer

I guess this is how you hide a massive merger with insane layoffs, you go "Hey! What if Cyclops met Rocket Raccoon! You kids would love that, right!?" And indeed, you would, because the X-Men are headed to the Cinematic Marvel Universe, under the vision of current MCU super producer Kevin Feige. Kevin Feige, as many know, got his Marvel producer start with the original X-Men franchise at the turn of the millennium before transitioning to the Disney owned MCU. Now, due to a deal with Fox that is no doubt a result of the merger, and similar to the one with Sony that brought Spider-Man to the cinematic universe, where Sony shares the rights and gets to do some of its own thing, the X-Men will indeed be transitioning to the MCU, with a new Wolverine in tow.

Oscars 2019: ‘Roma’ and ‘The Favourite’ Lead The Pack With 10 Nominations Each

Alex Firer

Well folks, the Oscar nominations are in, and you can't say that the Academy doesn't have taste -- then again, Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody are on there, the latter directed by someone who really shouldn't get rewarded in light of the #MeToo movement, but we've written about that before here. Either way, Rom and The Favourite, two movies which are absolutely perfect if you don't mind me saying so, are leading the pack with ten nominations each -- both have Best Picture, and Roma has Best Foreign Film to boot.

Barack Obama Loved Eighth Grade, Annihilation, In His Top 10 Movies List

Alex Firer

Man, how can the president have more time to watch movies than I do? I mean, clearly he hasn't seen Sorry To Bother You, the weird leftist cult style movie that should be dominating every single top ten list, but he did see Annihilation, so that rules. Hell yes to the President of the United States watching weird ass science fiction alien bears. In any case, the president still does his job of elevating culture a little bit with a fantastic and comprehensive Top Ten list. Sure, Bo Burnham may have been shut out of a director's Golden Globe for his phenomenal movie "Eighth Grade", but he can hold his head above water knowing that when the president saw the dad in that movie nervously being unsure about how to talk to his daughter, but trying damn it, he probably said, and I quote "I...uh... relate!"

Alex Firer

These movies can and should be nominated for their merits (and were -- The Dark Knight won for Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker, Logan received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay). But the term popular seems to mean a very specific thing: what makes theaters the most money. Also, just nominate Black Panther, all right?
