Yesterday, Frank Coniff, a.k.a. TVâs Frank, revealed a little-known event: the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema folks who are having those women-only screenings of Wonder Woman thatâs upsetting the snowflake boys so much, also held another such event. They did a screening of Baywatch â but just for those people who wanted to actually see Baywatch. I donât…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been very careful and deliberate as it introduces mass audiences to over 75 years of comic book continuity and conventions. Wisely, we had a handful of super-heroes before we had a team and after some hints about outer space, we had a specific look with Guardians of the Galaxy. Sooner…
