Dune (1984)
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso titolo abbiamo deciso di trattare un horror, visto il periodo, e abbiamo deciso di continuare con il dodicesimo capitolo della saga di Halloween, ossia Halloween Kills. Il film inizia poco dopo la fine del capitolo precedente, con Laurie che fugge dalla casa in fiamme con la figlia e la nipote. Purtroppo però i vigili del fuoco arrivano nella…

What if Mobius was a villain/anti-hero in his past life?
Here’s why I think there’s a good possibility for this:
While it’s probably easier for Marvel to go the boring route (Mobius was simply a normal dude with a normal job and a normal family, etc), I think there’s more to Mobius than we think. Owen Wilson himself teased Mobius has a deeper story arc this season:
In the latest episode, X-5 (or Brad) strikes a nerve when asking Mobius why he’s not interested in his past. Mobius tells Loki that he likes his life at the TVA- that’s his purpose and he’s good at it (My Lokius heart also tells me that it’s because he likes being with Loki and doesn’t want to lose him if he goes back to his past life- yeah yeah, I’m delusional, I know…)
I may be looking to hard into this (I’m a writer and reader, over-analyzing is what I do) but what if there’s a reason Mobius prefers his life at the TVA? Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that his memories have been wiped, but what if there’s something deep within him (part of his subconscious perhaps) that’s telling him to avoid his past?
I looked into Mobius’ comic counterpart to see what I could learn about the character. There’s not much. He’s had interactions with the Fantastic Four and She-Hulk, but there aren’t any details on his past. However, there are a few things I found interesting:
We all know that Kang created the TVA, but could this imply that Mobius may have known Kang personally and chose to work with him? Let’s dive deeper:
Mobius is also known as Mr. Tesseract. Why? I have no idea. He doesn’t seem to have any relation with the Tesseract. (There are some VERY cool fanarts though, so check them out if you have time). However, there’s more:
There’s a Mr. Orobourous and a Mr. Paradox as well. We just met Orobourous (spelt as Ouroboros) in the first episode of season two. Also, connect the dots: Mr Paradox = General Dox? I may be looking too deep into this, but I feel like these three may be connected in some way.
While this still isn’t a lot of information, there’s still a chance that this alias has something to do with Mobius’ backstory in the show. So, here’s my theory:
What if Mobius, once known as Mr. Tesseract, worked closely with Kang? What if he helped build the TVA? There’s a possibility that he has powers he doesn’t know about (as well as O.B. and Dox) that helped structure the TVA. Mr. Tesseract may have powers similar to his namesake. Mobius balances the TVA’s power over space, Ouroboros (which, in definition, is a snake that represents infinity) balances the power over time, and Dox balances the power over reality.
So, why don’t they have their memories? I theorize that Mobius (and maybe the others) eventually realized that Kang was wrong. Maybe he attempted to overthrow him. In the end, Kang defeated him and took away his memories as punishment, making him forget about his powers. We also know that Mobius’ memories have been wiped more than once, so there’s a chance that Mobius’ powers (in theory) eventually resurface, causing Kang to repeat the process.
This may be just some wacko theory that I overanalyzed and spent too much time on (probably) but the idea excites me. If this is in anyway true, how will Mobius react? How will Loki react? How will this impact the course of the show?
I can’t wait to find out more. Again, Mobius may have just been some random jet ski enthusiast on the time line. But that’s the boring option. Marvel, please don’t be boring. (Marvel’s probably going to make it boring).
So, what are your theories?

Mission Impossible Rant ? Part 1
had a breakdown and watched all 7 (seven) Mission Impossible movies over the course of *checks watch* three days? Read more for an unhinged rant. Or scroll away. Don't care either way cause life is pointless etc etc
MI:1 - The beginning. The oldest of the bunch. And just like all elder siblings, this one's stoic as hell. Ethan Hunt is introduced to us as this charismatic, cocky agent, out for chaos. Movie looks like it's going to be yet another generic action thriller. Except- his entire team dies (Well, not all of them- more like most of them). Thus begins a noir drama of sorts and honestly? It still holds up. It is paced perfectly, has those late 90s over-the-top action sequences and is a good time all around.
2. MI:2- So, this is where it gets interesting. For some background trivia, let me tell you why this movie's existence is interesting as hell. Up until MI:2, Tom Cruise has never participated in a sequel. People were wondering if he ever would, and sure enough we soon got MI:2 . MI:2 can be best described as a Woo- fever dream of sorts. The only things I can remember now are Thandiwe Newton, pigeons (and doves?) and a cliff climbing. It is the weakest of the bunch in my opinion.
3. MI:3- Lack of critical reception to MI:2 led to a change in directors. Tom Cruise ends up watching Alias and falls deeply in love with JJ Abrahms. JJ has a whole new aesthetic for the franchise. And action!
The entire ending of MI:2 is forgotten. No, seriously, this one begins with Ethan's engagement party to a random girl. He has taken a step back from spying, and is just chilling about- mostly teaching the craft to other agents. Keri Russel is one such agent, and when she gets kidnapped, Hunt springs into action. Russel is killed (wasted Keri Russel imo- go watch The Americans) , Hunt gets married, his wife gets kidnapped and nearly killed- this one's a doozy. Philip Seymour Hoffmann (RIP) is exemplary as a villain though.
Another highlight is Benjamin "Benji" Dunn. More on this later.
4. MI- Ghost Protocol- Keeping in with the let's- get- a- new-director- tradition, this one has Brad Bird at its helm. Bird hasn't directed any live action movies at this point, but he does have more than a decade's experience with animated material (The Incredibles, Ratatouille).
Honestly, this is my absolute favourite of the bunch. This film has everything- the iconic Burg Khalifa sequence, great dialogue, AMAZING pacing. The supporting cast have this incredible chemistry with each other. And this one has humour too! (most of the credit due to Benji, played by Simon Pegg).
Absolutely everything goes wrong in this movie and that's why it slaps. The tension is palpable in almost all scene. This movie is the one that revitalizes the franchise. It only gets better from here.

Dune (1984)
This is my father's favorite movie. Every time I walk into my parents' house, I see the Baron floating around laughing maniacally. I have never watched it in its entirety, and with the new ones out, I wanted to watch this before I moved on to Dune: Part One.
I spent an hour of the film being SO confused about what was happening and why. But about an hour in (I know, that's a long time), I realized how super into it I was, and the more I started to understand what was up, the more I enjoyed it. Ultimately, a really good film, and I hope I enjoy the new one as much as I liked this one!
And I can't express enough how much I love the pug that made it through the whole damn film.

Loki Season 2: Who Plays X-5?
"Loki" Season 2 brings everyone's favorite god of mischief back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but he's not alone. Marvel Studios' first foray into a multi-season show introduces plenty of new characters, like O.B. (Ke Huy Quan), General Dox (Kate Dickie), and X-5 (Rafael Casal), a Time Variance Authority (TVA) agent with quite the disdain for Mobius (Owen Wilson) and his love of Jet Skis.
Although "Loki" Season 2 is Casal's most mainstream project to date, the actor has had enough appearances in his relatively young career to leave viewers wondering where they've seen him before. In 2018, he starred in the critically acclaimed movie "Blindspotting," writing and acting alongside longtime friend Daveed Diggs to bring the culture and reality of Oakland, California, to life on-screen. Casal also starred in, produced, and served as showrunner for Starz's spin-off sequel series of the same name.
Additionally, the actor was part of the ensemble cast of "Bad Education," playing Kyle Contreras alongside Hugh Jackman, Ray Romano, and Allison Janney in HBO's award-winning television movie on America's largest public school embezzlement case. He also appeared on the 2019 revival of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" as the main villain, Mr. Tophat, and played John Cook on Showtime's "The Good Lord Bird" miniseries.
"Loki" Season 2, Episode 1 introduces X-5 as a seemingly strict TVA agent who delivers Mobius and B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) to the TVA's judges' council. Based on the Season 2 trailer, fans can expect to see more of Rafael Casal, who seems to be going by the alias Brad Wolfe outside of the TVA. However, you won't catch the actor revealing much about his character anytime soon.
"I cannot even confirm or deny this," Casal joked in April in response to Screen Rant Plus interviewer Tatiana Hullender's comment that he's "Loki" Season 2. "But that's a cool show, and if I was on it, it would be so awesome. I'll bet Tom Hiddleston is the best, I think Owen Wilson seems like a really awesome guy, and that all that cast and crew, I'll bet, are fantastic to work with. And so I'm really excited to see what Season 2 has because I'm a fan."
While Casal found a fun way to adhere to any NDAs he may or may not have with Marvel Studios, "Loki" Season 2, Episode 1 officially confirms his MCU debut as X-5, and based on his scenes, it's evident he had a great time filming alongside Hiddleston and Wilson.

Legends of the Dark Knight (vol. 1) #140: Terror, part 4: Horror House
Read Date: January 25, 2023
Cover Date: April 2001
● Writer: Doug Moench ● Penciler: Paul Gulacy ● Inker: Jimmy Palmiotti ● Colorist: James Sinclair ● Letterer: Kurt Hathaway ● Editor: Andrew Hefler ◦ Harvey Richards ●
**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers
Reactions As I Read:
● Batman regains consciousness to Catwoman on top of him, playing with his mask; he grabs her hand before she gets any ideas about removing it
● interesting perspective--looking up Catwoman's nostrils…
● is Hugo Strange dead? I honestly don't know enough about the character to hazard a guess. But it's a comic book. People rarely stay dead.
● Ah, "Absonus" is Latin for Strange. That was the alias Strange used at Arkham Asylum.
● ooo, Batman almost let slip to Gordon that "the alley" has significance to him. Heh, and Gordon actually saw Batman leave this time.
● love that car
● yes, yes, solemn vow. we know. move on.
● huh. interesting that in his talk at his parents' grave, Bruce admits that even now he feels lost. he's usually a paragon of confidence, so it's nice when a little vulnerability creeps in like this
● Alfred 💜
● cut to a woman waking up on a wooden floor (probably at the old mansion). there's a man near her, unconscious.
● woman's name is Charlene Connors, and the guy is Brad Simmons. they're surprised to see each other, but they know each other because they went to high school together
● yikes!
● that's fear toxin spewing from the eyes of a portrait hanging in the mansion
● ah, Jonathan Crane went to high school with them, too. they bullied him.
● (don't be a bully, kids, or the Scarecrow might get you!)
● cut to GCPD. Gordon is in his office with Batman. Beheading victim in the alley was Jason Bludhorn, also one of Crane's bullies
● on the roof, they alter the Bat Signal so that it summons Catwoman
● Catwoman gives info to Batman to help him try to find Scarecrow
● what she tells him doesn't actually help him… at least until she reveals she left a tracking device at the mansion
● back to Brad and Charlene, who are not having a swell time
● Batman arrives to the mansion… and Scarecrow knew about Catwoman's tracking device all along
● Batman enters, and bars drop down to cover the windows and doors
● Scarecrow doesn't use gas because he knows about Batman's nose filters, so he uses a dart… that gets Batman right in the face 😂
● 👏👏👏
Synopsis:
In the alley where his parents got killed, Batman lies on his back after Catwoman nearly knocked him out. Lasciviously, Catwoman sits on top of Batman and tells him that she had no choice to help Scarecrow but she is not Batman's enemy. Before she swings away, Catwoman also briefly mentions that Hugo Strange is dead.
Batman immediately meets with Captain Gordon who confirms that it was Hugo Strange who got Scarecrow out of Arkham Asylum. Batman wants to Gordon to contact him when he knows the identity of the young man whom Scarecrow decapitated.
After visiting the grave of his parents, Bruce Wayne orders Alfred to use more of his money to fund the Wayne Foundation which is helping crime victims.
Meanwhile, Charlene Connors and Brad Simmons both find themselves trapped in the house Scarecrow is using as a hideout. Both have been classmates of Jonathan Crane and have taunted him during his years in high-school. Now Scarecrow uses his fear toxin against them to finally get revenge.
Gordon tells Batman that Scarecrow's victim was connected to Crane's past and two other persons fitting this criteria have been abducted last night. To prevent another murder, Batman needs the help of Catwoman. Reluctantly, Gordon uses the Bat-Signal to contact her. Catwoman confesses that Scarecrow blackmailed her after discovering her secret identity. Batman offers a truce between them and because Catwoman left a tracer she is able to tell him where to find Scarecrow. But Crane did find the tracer and is already waiting for Batman to arrive. As soon as Batman enters the house, Scarecrow seals all exits and then he pierces Batman with a dart which probably is poisoned …

You know, while I think the recent Super Mario Bros movie is an excellent representation of the franchise despite the complaints I have. It’s a nice film. Yet before seeing it...and a month ago I think I thought of this or two months ago...it sounds strange. I feel like wanting to make my own strange “Darker” or interpretation of Mario which sounds strange. Mainly concerning the original Donkey Kong arcade game because I love that game. Again, just for the fun of it and...it’s amusing to think about.
But alias...this video gave me I guess what I kind of wanted.
Also, yes, I am aware of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie. I have seen it years ago; I didn’t hate it. But I want to rewatch it sometime. It’s weird I’m talking about this. But it’s strangely fun to think about. Maybe I’m obsessed with how Brad Peyton took the direction of that Rampage movie. And then you have parodies like Mario Warfare (A classic) and the recent SNL parody of Mario Kart.

✼ ʾ 𝑎𝑐𝑡. 𝒊𝒊 , the story so far .
travis was born to a third generation farm rancher and a hair stylist , in hinesville , georgia . the buckley house was one full of music and laughter . a family that genuinely loved the company of one another . from a young age travis took a particular liking to the record player in the family room , playing music whenever he could get away with it . before his little sister could so much as walk he was teaching her the words to all the best country songs from the 80s , even as a child he thought music was the best form of bonding . it wasn’t long before he started singing in the church choir , his own little escape from the mundane work that came with going to school or helping out around the ranch whenever his father needed an extra hand .
most people like him never even so much as left their small town but at a young age his parents knew travis’ life called for so much more than taking over the ranch , he wasn’t meant to be hidden away in some small town in georgia . he was a dreamer with enough talent to actually do something more with his life . over the radio one morning the family learned of auditions for young actors that were going on in savannah , georgia . the way his eyes lit up , said it all to his parents . that weekend they packed up their pick up truck and headed to the city . he didn’t get the part he went for , his parents ready to give him words of encouragement but travis didn’t need them claiming on his own “ i’ll get the next one “ . something of a promise to himself . now back home in hineville , he had something new to be passionate about and it didn’t take long for him to start trying out for local plays ( most of which were done through the church they attended ) . he was getting lead parts within a couple years of doing it , the next time an audition came around he knew he’d be ready for it . his confidence and hard work was rewarded at thirteen when he booked his first gig . a recurring character on a tv show shooting in atlanta . his mom , being his biggest supporter played taxi driver regularly for him . three hour drives filled with the two of them going over his lines and when he finally felt comfortable with them the two turned up the radio and revisited his first love , music .
the door was now open for him and he started booking more and more roles . during dry spells he would spend his nights at karaoke spots , never really losing his love for music . everything changed when he got the role of j.d in thelma and louise , it was his big breakout role and it seemed everything he’d worked for had finally come to a head . all eyes were on him . a few more movies later and reality struck he couldn’t continue on this career path and live in hineville so he made the big leap and moved to hollywood . admittedly he was like a fish out of water and without his family around he began to slip into the uglier parts of the industry . a once sheltered country boy had turned into a man controlled solely by his vices . it was after the premiere for inglorious bastards that travis seemingly disappeared . neither his friends nor his agents knew were he’d gone . hollywood’s heart throb had gone missing , without a word .
he’d decided at the night of the premiere that with the help of his family he would check into a rehab facility in georgia . at the time he was ready to wipe his hands clean of acting and hollywood as a whole . he just wanted to feel like himself again , truthfully . after a little over a month he was released from the inpatient facility and bought a house as close to his father’s ranch as he could . it was ironic , growing up he never wanted to be hidden away in the state he grew up in and now here he was doing just that . it was a couple years of playing the part of a rancher when some of his childhood friends came up with a plan to get him out of his hiding . what was only meant to be a boys trip to nashville turned into travis meeting country singer luke bryan , who he would later write a catalog of songs for .
once again , travis decided to take a leap and moved to nashville in late 2012 . he performed at local bars for a few months before he was approached by a music executive , it wasn’t much longer before he was signed a record label and working on what would be his debut album . the media fell into a frenzie , naturally . magazines all over the country talking about how the heartthrob had thrown away his scripts for a guitar . he didn’t pay the media much mind though , deciding to leave that to his team . if he had made anything clear it was that he didn’t care about the fame that came knocking at his door at such a young age , he just wanted to do something meaningful .
in 2014 , he released his self - titled debut album and a year later won the acm new artist of the year award . he was steam rolling forward with music , with no intentions to ever look back on his acting days . that was until he met his current girlfriend , an actress shooting a film in nashville at the time . he fell for her fast and hard and before he knew it the distance was something of a swear word . it was just a year in and she approached him with an opportunity to get back into acting . he’d convinced himself for years he wanted nothing to do with acting ever again , it had turned him into a shell of himself but she was quick to remind him that he was a different person now and far to talented to never pick up a script ever again . with her support he returned to the big screen as tyler durden in fight club . throughout filming he refound his love for being in front the camera and with every award or accolade that came afterwards he was quick to fit the one person he owed the resurgence of his acting career to into his speech , his girlfriend .
in the last few years he’d made the permanent decision to move back to california . at first a test for himself , but it quickly just became clear living in los angles made his busy schedule much easier .
