New “Us” Theory Gives Us A Shocking Discovery!

Jordan Peele’s “Us” took the world by storm last weekend and sparked some new fan theories regarding the tethered and the meaning behind the film. This fan theory comes from a Reddit user who made some interesting observations about one of the film’s characters Jason Wilson. reddit user /r/FanTheories said this “I believe the summer before the movie takes place, the boy (Jason) and his ‘tethered’ also switched places. At the end of the film, he has realized that his mother, at one point has also switched bodies. She gives him a look almost like ‘I also know what you know’. Then he puts on his mask as a symbol of the masks they will now wear for the rest of their lives.” This could explain why Jason couldn’t do the magic trick. He should have known how to do it. Other Reddit users pointed out that during the beach scene Jason wasn’t building sand castles, he was digging tunnels in the sand. This could link the character to the tethered subterranean home. Also, Pluto is the only membe...

Angelina Jolie In Talks With Marvel For A Role In The Eternals Film

According to reports from THR , Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie known for her role as Laura Croft in Tomb Raider (2001, Salt 2010 and Disney’s Maleficent (2014) is in talks with Marvel Studios to be cast for a role in the upcoming film “The Eternals” The Eternals is supposed to take place billions of years before anything occurs in the MCU, and the film will be directed by Chloe Zhao. The film will be based on the Jack Kirby created title about superpowered and near-immortal beings known as the Eternals and the Deviants that were created by the cosmic beings called Celestials. It is still unclear who Jolie will play, and since we know how Marvel Studios works, we probably wont know who Jolie will be portraying until the film is ready to be released. Angelina is also working on other Disney projects like Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and the animated live action hybrid, “The One and Only Ivan” which she is also credited as a producer.

According to Fox News Jussie Smollett’s Charges were dropped. It was announced today by the court to not proceed with prosecution, however Jussie is expected to give a statement later this evening. Jussie plead “Not Guilty” to 16 counts of disorderly conduct that came from the incident in which he claimed that two men beat him and in the street and that the attack was a hate crime.

Jussie’s attorney Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes said in a statement that “Smollett’s record has been wiped clean” Representetives from Fox including producers, and the Cook County prosecutors did not comment.

Shazam! – Movie Review

Shazam is the DECU’s newest addition to the franchise. Zachary Levi plays a superhero named Shazam, however, he’s a kid who stumbles into an underground cave where he finds an ancient wizard who needs to pass his powers of the Greek Gods to him. The storyline is predictable at baseline, then the kid gets summoned by a wizard, the wizard gives him powers, but the kids are still a kid even though he looks like a full grown man. The foster child storyline was heartfelt at warm, gave the film a different pace and feeling. We get to see why the bad guy is a bad guy thanks to a generous chunk of the movie set aside for small character development. Mark Strong’s character (Dr. Thaddeus Sivana) for lack of better words wasn’t strong enough for me in his film. I felt his portrayal of Dr. Thaddeus could have been better. He was definitely evil and corrupted by greed and jealousy but he didn’t feed off of those emotions enough. I would have liked to see more from this character instead of his p...

“Us” – Movie Review

This Jordan Peele film took the world by storm this weekend, selling out theaters acrross the states. This is Jordans follow up to his movie “Get Out”. The movie follows a family on vacation, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, and Evan Alex. Everything seems fine until the family is visited by people who strangely resemble them. The family does everything they can to avoid being killed by these doublegangers. The story jumps back and forward through time giving us back story on Lupita’s characters (Adelaide Wilson and Red). Who when she was just a little girl was traumatized when she saw a girl who looked exactly like her. The theme of the film was easy to follow, although it was a bit confusing at first, this is because when watching the film, you may try to over analyze things you notice while at the same time miss what’s right in front of you. The film is more thriller than horror, however, it is very gory with buckets of bloodshed throughout the film up until ...

Baltimore Mayor Pugh Under Fire

Mayor of Baltimore Catherine Pugh resigned from her position on the board of directors at University of Maryland Medical System after coming under fire for failing to fully disclose the $500,000 business relationship she has with the system. UMMS brought $100,000 in copies of her self-published book series, “Healthy Holly” According to The Baltimore Sun, Catherine Pugh’s campaign finance records show that Healthy Holly LLC gave a $5,000 check to Pugh’s Campaign in November 2015. The company contributed to Carter’s campaign last June and to Olszewski’s in August. It also gave $40 to the B.E.S.T. Democratic Club PAC in 2016.

Netflix “Bird Box” Could Be Getting A Sequal

The writer of the book “Bird Box” that was made into a Netflix film staring Sanda Bullock last year could be getting a sequel. Author Josh Malerman spoke to Esquire to offer some details about the upcoming book titled “Malorie”. “In the time between  Bird Box  coming out and the time since I’ve been writing  Malorie , I’ve been asked a ton of times: people want to know what happened with Boy and Girl. But as much as I care about Boy and Girl, this isn’t their story. The  Bird Box  world is Malorie’s story, and I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to get to know her even better.” ~ Malerman said. The ending of “Bird Box” is different from the movie. While the conclusion of the film was a little more hopeful than in the book the director of “Bird Box” continues to defend making that choice. This means that if a sequel is done, it could be a little different than Malerman’s new novel. Since “Bird Box” was so popular when it was released a sequel wouldn’...

Crisis Outreach and Things You Need To Know About Psychiatric Services In Baltimore Maryland

Mental health awareness is very important in America. On average a single hospital can see over 20+ mental health cases per day, sometimes more. The problem with that is most general hospitals don’t offer full psychiatric services or treatment, at least not the kind you could get at a full mental health hospital. There are a lot of people who don’t know how to get help. People call mental health hospitals but do not know exactly what to ask for or what they need. This leads to them getting the wrong information. Here is what you need to know about getting a child or adult into the hospital for psychiatric services. Adolescents/ Children Children or teens have biological (mom and dad) or legal guardians until they turn 18 years old. This means that the guardian can have them seen by a psychiatrist rather the child wants to or not. Now the child must be expressing thoughts to harm themselves or others or has had a significant change in behavior such as being withdrawn or having depr...

Image
Looks like second chances are possible. James Gunn, the writer of the soon to be shot movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has reportedly been rehired. According to Deadline the director of the previous two Marvel films, and also executive produced Avengers Infinity War has been rehired by Disney.

The tweets were already discussed when he was put on blast years ago, still Disney hired Gunn to work on movies for them. When the tweets resurfaced last summer Disney decided to fire Gunn saying that “His actions were indefensible” Now not even a year later Gunn is returning to Marvel to direct the third installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn met with Gunn on several occasions to discuss the situation. Horn was persuaded by Gunn’s public apology and his handling of the situation after...

Winston Duke Just Spoiled a Major Character Return For Avengers Endgame

This morning on Live Kelly and Ryan, Winston Duke who is on press tour to talk about his upcoming Jordan Peele film “US” was asked about the Black Panther sequal. Ofcourse he couldent say anything but we all know that a Black Panther 2 is in the works. It was not mentioned at all about his own return however during the chat with Kelly and Ryan, Winston did spoil his return to the upcoming film Avengers: Endgame, sayin “If you need a fresh M’Baku fix check thout Infinity War 2 when that comes out” M’Baku wasn’t dusted during the decimation so its safe to say that probably during the early moments of Endgame we will see M’Baku and Okoye deal with the aftermath of the devistating events that followed the Thanos snap.

Does Marvel Studios Has Some Explaining To Do?

Image
The second theatrical trailer for Avengers Endgame surprised us this morning, and while the internet and twitter were buzzing some people noticed something wrong with the Avengers Endgame theatrical poster. While it seems like everyone who wasn’t dusted is accounted for, including the General of the Dora Milaje Okoye. Danai Gurira’s name is missing from the credits in the poster. Many people took to Twitter to express their anger, including BET. The massively epic movie is allegedly 3 hours long, with so much to cover, several story arcs will come to an end. Okoye’s part in the film may be small, which is probably why she’s not mentioned in the credits. Marvel Studios may as well set this one right and add her name to the poster before more people get upset. What did you think of the trailer? Did you know that Okoye was going to be featured in the film? Follow and Tweet us @BloggsGq

Facebook Including Other Associated Apps Are Experiencing Outages

You may have noticed today if you tried to open your facebook page or Instagram that the apps aren’t loading or are having issues. It seems that the server that runs Facebook and its associated applications like Instagram are having data issues. According to THR, Facebook is aware of the outages and are working to restore them.

Some users saw a message that said “Facebook was down for required maintenance” Some services have been restored for some users however others are still reporting problems. As of 9:30 pm on the east coast, users are still reporting that Instagram is not loading. This type of outage looks like a ransom hack that is done by hackers who are requesting money in exchange to restore services. Facebook used its Twitter account to say that Facebook...

Multiple Gay Nightclubs Closing in Baltimore and DC

The first night club to close on the 1000 block of North Charles St was iconic club The Hippo three years ago. According to a post by Ed Gunts (Baltimore Fishbowl) the owner of Grand Central across the street is also closing its doors. The new owners will be converting the space into a retail and office building. The previous owner Don Davis decided to retire, and move out of state. Don had sold the property to buyers Jon Pannoni and George Watson (Landmark Partners LLC), with Marc Hayes continuing to manage the night club until Jon and George was ready to start construction. Davis says there is less of a market for gay nightclubs and bars in todays times. Gay people are more welcome in more places than before. In recent years Grand Central has become more of an “Alternative” club rather than a gay club. “The social climate has changed a lot since the 1980’s , everyone is welcome everywhere, so the need for a specific gay establishment is not necessary any longer.” Don Said. The s...

My Thoughts On “Anthem” By BioWare, Don’t Waste Your Money Just Yet

Ever since Mass Effect, BioWare has proven to its followers that they will continue to produce some of the best games. The Mass Effect trilogy was amazing, both gameplay and story. Then there was Andromeda, and although it was a move in the right direction, it seemed to fall for numerous reasons. So now we have “Anthem” a completely new adventure from BioWare. The game itself looked amazing when we saw it at E3 years ago. Now that we have it, it’s not living up to the expectations. My first disappointments came from the inability to fully customize your character. The character customization in the Mass Effect was very detailed, but for some reason, BioWare decided to leave out a large chunk of customization controls in Anthem. Game navigation is poor although the game sends you straight into a starter mission, once you get to the actual game you’re kind of left feeling lost. There’s no system in place that will help you find your way to important missions, another issue I would wa...
