#Ebenezer may not reinvent A Christmas Carol, but it’s a faithful, atmospheric, and beautifully shot adaptation anchored by a phenomenal lead performance. Johnny Depp is the perfect Scroorge, up there with Alaistair Sim and Michael Caine. Ti West leans into his horror roots with plenty of spooky, Gothic moments and imagery. Tramell Tillman is an absolute scene-stealer as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Overall, a brilliant version of a timeless story that marks the return of a genuine movie star in resounding fashion #EbenezerMovie

Well, color me pleasantly surprised! #Ebenezer is a wickedly fun holiday treat and strong comeback vehicle for its star. Depp is a fiendish delight as Scrooge, delivering a lively performance that thankfully balances the goofy charm and emotional gravitas that has been sorely missed. West’s horror sensibilities and visual panache give the film an immersive gothic look and feel as he’s able to balance the macabre thrills with the heart of Dickens’ beloved tale as he sprinkles in some refreshing new layers to deepen Ebenezer’s journey. Simply put, it’s great to see Depp back on the big screen. Full review soon!

#Ebenezer is a dark, magical, and deeply moving retelling that hits every emotion. Johnny Depp is outstanding as Ebenezer Scrooge ! Deliciously unpleasant, heartbreaking, and completely captivating.
No matter how many times you’ve seen this story, Ti West adds surprising new layers you won’t fully remember. You’ll laugh, smile, cry, and jump out of your seat. West also edited the film flawlessly, keeping the pacing razor-sharp from start to finish. A must-see holiday ghost story. Bah humbug? Not this time. 🎄👻 #EbenezerMovie @ebenezermovie

This is what DC Comics was always about. Hope, inspiration, uplifting ASPIRATIONAL characters and stories. We will see what he does, of course. But, so far, he seems to get it.

People laughing at this… but the fact of the matter is this mentality is what helped build the MCU in the juggernaut it is.
These should be four-quadrant family films… with edge.
One of my concerns about the DCU is the 4/6 released projects being Hard-R.
This recent interview with Jeremy Latcham probably makes it pretty clear why this change happened and what we might expect for the future of the #DCU.

This isn't a bad thing in any way, shape, or form. I'm no prude, but after suffering through Peacemaker's superfluous orgy scene, Clayface's lame gore, and Lanterns' pointless F-bombs, I'm all for a DCU that everyone can enjoy.

This mindset is missing from mainstream comics and comic movies for a long time … it’s why they suddenly stopped resonating with people and became CG slop

'The Rings of Power' co-showrunner JD Payne on Season 3
"Without spoiling everything I would say for fans of Lord of the Rings, for fans of Tolkien's literature this season has four or five major tent pole iconic moments from the lore that you've been waiting to see on screen."

Took my 90 year old Mom to the movie Jimmy. The Jimmy Stewart film! Highly recommend! Stewart unlike 99.9% of today’s Hollywood actors was a true American patriot! Risking his life for our freedom! Suffering PTSD while filming Its a Wonderful Life! Must see!!!

This is REALLY worth watching. Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes & more sharing stories about Patrick Stewart

If you a millenial who loved The Next Generation and miss Patrick Stewart, I highly recommend watching Picard season 3.
I saw it years ago and it's the proper ending this crew deserves. Very grateful to @TerryMatalas and folks for making it.
You don't need to watch season 1 and 2, just go straight to season 3.

This was the moment I had dream of, the moment I had feared. Patrick Stewart walking onto the bridge of the USS Enterprise that I had recreated. Would he hate it would he love it. What would this moment feel like. For months we agonized over every detail, then the moment came and he walked onto the bridge and moved to the chair that had helped define his career and he sat down. I clicked the shot as that smile fell over his face. This is how I will remember him. Such an honor to have had the opportunity to work with such an extraordinary individual. He will be greatly missed.

If you haven't had the chance. Listen to his autobiography on audiobook as he narrates it himself. I listened to it on one long roadtrip during a very challenging time and it's truly a gift.

Today, more than ever before, I have to say how glad I am that we got season 3 of #StarTrekPicard, getting my favourite crew back together, just like in the beginning, and helping to overcome the trauma caused by Data's death in "Star Trek: Nemesis". I'm happy this was all resolved!🖖
