Between Bells

In Entertainment: Dec. 7

look right over here. That's pretty much the list of everything we're obsessed with the things we're obsessed with and the critics are obsessed with are the first reactions to James Cameron's highly anticipated sequel avatar, the Way of Water and we need to talk about it following last night's world premiere in London. Critics took to social media to share their thoughts calling the movie everything from bigger, better and more emotional than the original. Quote, James Cameron once again shows filmmakers how it's done. One critic tweeting it's over well maybe too overwhelming. Sometimes I'd miss plot points because I'm staring at a pandora fish in the way of water hits theaters december the 16th. I mean that's incredible to already think that the sequel is better than the original all these years later. My favorite review though by the way was People magazine. That said my best advice go to the bathroom before because the movie over three hours long camera said, if you miss it, you'll see it the next time. This is one of those movies you need to see multiple times and I'm glad people are having good reviews because this is one of the most expensive movies ever estimated at around 250 million. They're not even telling us they're like it's a lot. There's a lot. I still wonder if it's gonna pack the theaters like it did last time. I mean we're in a different world and when the original came out the first one, the first avatar, still the highest grossing film ever in the world will it get to at least over a billion. You would have to hope so, given how expensive this potentially was about 237 million to make so well and this is why James Cameron is basically said if it doesn't become like the top five highest grossing film ever, how do you even break even from this film? Because it's so expensive. All right, well you know what, it's Wednesday. So let's talk Wednesday. Just two weeks after hitting netflix. The Adams family spinoff starring Jenna. Ortega, who is amazing, has already become a streaming giant. That's right. It's become the streaming giant's third most popular english language series of all time. And since its premiere, the show has been viewed a total of get this seven hun 52.5 hours. That is a lot of tv time. Well, Wednesday is on track to pass Stranger Things season four and Dhamar and its 1st 28 days. Ortega has gained over 10 million instagram followers in just two weeks. One of them. Hello, can I be get that many? I want to be in the game for a while. She's been in you. She's a child actor. But this is obviously the show that put her on the map. I love her on Wednesday. I binged that show in a matter of days. She's fantastic. It's also good to sort of have something that's a little bit more family friendly game or Jeffrey Dahmer that does Well, I don't know about family friendly, I haven't let my kids watch the parent. The other thing that's sort of interesting here is how it got to netflix. This was a show amazon passed on, which is even more incredible, tim Burton project. Exactly, amazon passed on this show, so netflix getting the benefit of something like this, probably kicking themselves right now. And Trevor Noah said to host this, the final episode of the daily show on thursday after the comedian takes his final bow, Comedy Central will welcome a star studded lineup of guest host to take his place, we're talking Chelsea handler, cal penn al Franken sarah Silverman, Hassan Minaj will all get their shot behind the desk as well. Leslie jones won the sights and Marlon wayans. I like when people do this, when, when they kind of let some of the best comedians, people out there and everybody I mentioned these people are smart, you have to be so for the daily show quick you need to be on top of current events. Siri agrees with, you know, she's like, hey, I got to answer for you because I'm curious on who they're gonna pick or if they're gonna pick multiple people, I think they should do multiple panelists or rotating a matter of months, I think for months they should keep rotating look and then there are some individuals in there, Roy Wood Jr being one of them in particular and also part of the daily show franchise who also maybe potentially are going to be in the running here. So this is gonna give them an an audience audience an idea of maybe who they could potentially pick on something like this. I'm with you, I like a lot of these names. I think the one, I think it's gonna be really funny. Leslie jones after starring together in 1994 is comedy. Airheads. Remember that one, Adam Sandler and Brendan fraser, reuniting 28 years later for variety's actors on actors series. During the interview, Sandler revealed he had to go above and beyond to make sure that the Airheads director casted Brendan fraser in this film, look at this, Michael Lehman was very against you. I eventually went to his house like 4:00 AM, woke him up and he's like who are you? I said, never mind that, but just know that Adam Sandler Ain't gonna be in their heads unless old Frasier is in it. Adam Sandler goes on to basically say, I made you made you who you are today. That was one of his first movies. He was in Encino man, You might remember that one a long time ago, but then this was basically sort of his real breakout role. Yeah, and look at him now, I mean everyone loves a comeback, He's in well that's why he still looks a little healthy because he played this overweight man and they're getting rave reviews for this and he's saying he's potentially an Oscar finalist for that movie. But I mean going back to Airheads, I forgot he was in that and then I looked at photos, I was like wow Brendan fraser was he was he was yes Brendan fraser back in this film. I mean you have to be honest, I really want to watch, I was thinking the same thing. Honestly. Well the fans have spoken the 2022 People's Choice awards were handed out on Tuesday night. Ryan Reynolds was on with the people's icon award. Lizzo was named the people's champion the about damn time Singer BTS and Taylor Swift were among the top winners. Tara Swift took home. Female artist of 2022 music video of 2022 an album of 2022. She cleaned up Selena Gomez one comedy tv star for only murders in the building and Elizabeth Olsen, one action actor of the year for her role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness of course she played wanda and was amazing. So kudos to all the winners. I love every single one, I agree with every single winner. They're the ones that I thought were really interesting drama film of the year went to Don't worry darling, which was interesting, but I was gonna say was the drama that was off screen as to why they made it because people who were clearly involved in that. The other thing, I love the reality contestant of the year went to Selma Blair who I didn't even win Dancing with the stars, but because her dancing with M. S. Captivated all of us. She got that award by the way to quote the great Valerie cherish from the comeback. It's from the people so it matters. Yes, absolutely. Time now to head to the trailer park where we give you your first look at the newest shows and movies and Kendra is getting pushed to her breaking point by her abusive boyfriend in the new trailer for her thriller Alice Darling, I lied to him, he has every right to be angry, lied about what about being here? That's my girl, you didn't know you were coming. I'm sure Alice will explain it of Nathan Alice darling hits theaters january 20th I don't think, I think people sleep on anna Kendrick like she is such a great actress and she can do like I always saw her in comedic roles and then when I started seeing her in drama like she's really yeah right time ago she also said that she had had abusive relationships in the past as well. So doing this role really helped her sort of go through that door. It's cathartic, I was gonna say I was gonna be popular for a lot of people because there's so many people that are in that situation you may be able to relate to this point. Meanwhile after Harley Quinn and poison Ivy quickly became comic fans favorite it couple in the HBO max animated series, Harley Quinn fans are now wondering when the romance might make it to the big screen and one powerful voice in particular is now on board. That's Margot Robbie who portrayed Harley Quinn in three different movies, she revealed the comic book dot com that she's been a longtime supporter of the romance and she says she spent years trying to get the supervillains and sometimes anti heroes to hook up in a feature film that we remember, The great poison ivy was played by UMA thurman in one of the lowest rated batman's ever. People do not like that, that one by the way, is with mr freeze played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is so funny. Yeah, yeah, that's when Clooney with batman um but then it gets to another question, who would then play this poison ivy? You know that that that could you have anya taylor joy, could you have, did you have you know somebody else in there? Okay, take that. Alright well here's a sentence that wasn't on our 2022 bingo cards, marvel characters but make them Wes Anderson. Okay, yes, that's right because the Russo brothers, the director's behind some of marvel's biggest projects like Avengers infinity war and Endgame took to instagram to share a I generated photos of marvel heroes generated to look like they are straight out of a Wes Anderson film, the Russo Brothers riding, where can we watch this really, where can we watch it? Bill Murray like and and you know all these other people that are all those West Anderson, everybody's doing these ai character. I am so over this a I think it is one everybody is going to have to pay for this thing which is also crazy for it for him. There's a lot of money. He told me he was like, I never paid more than a dollar for an app but getting paid $4 for this thing and I love that happening the picture I saw pictures, they look great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you look great, very chiseled now on your mark, get set. Race to the big board Kenny smith sent us colleagues Shaquille O'neal flying into a giant christmas tree on the TNT set. We can't get over this hilarious moment, take a look for yourself. Don't cheat. That was you know, just a normal night for the fellas. Okay, so pre pandemic Shaquille O'neal just come to chatter a lot as you remember and we know this, but I don't think people, unless you see him in person realize how big he is. I come up to his hips like the fact that he fell six ft three right. Kill O'neill was at least another three ft. That means that christmas tree is at least 400ft like insane to think about because it had to eat all of shock in that process and it did, and Kenny wasn't even a fast runner, but Kenny didn't even help him. He was just like he kept going by the way. This is also why I've been clamoring for producers to put a tree in this studio. Just put Shannon in that as well.
