I'm waiting for Hamlet to start and so far I'm the only one here. Better seats were reserved in the theater when I got my ticket. I plan on moving if they forget to show up.

This is the National Theatre Live production of Hamlet, with Benedict Cumberbatch, correct? I saw it a couple of years ago, and it was excellent.
I watched Support the Girls. Regina Hall was so great. I love characters who are competent. You root for her, not for her to win the lottery, get the guy, save the world, etc. Just to have some peace and quiet.
Though she's not Bond. I thought that was a clever way to switch over. I've been pretty bored with the Bond series for a while but Lynch was great in Captain Marvel (best part of the movie to me) and I'm looking forward to this new iteration.And the new 007 is Lashana Lynch.
Lashana Lynch will be first black woman to take over role of 007 in spy franchise — but not Bond
'It’s a popcorn-dropping moment,' said a movie insider. 'Bond is still Bond but he’s been replaced as 007 by this stunning woman'nationalpost.com
Hmmm that is a interesting way to change things around. I look forward to seeing it.And the new 007 is Lashana Lynch.

I coincidentally saw both Bohemian Rhapsody and Yesterday this week-end. I thought Yesterday was the better movie and really enjoyed it despite not being a Beatles fan. The whole premise just sounded tacky to me but it was well put together, had a surprisingly sweet storyline, and people did the right thing! I would watch that movie again and I hardly ever feel that way.
Bohemian Rhapsody was kind of a hot mess. But the music was good.
What I don't understand is how this can be a "live-action" version of The Lion King when it's all being done with CGI!
ETA and that Cats trailer was creepy.
Count me in as another one that’s skeptical about the Lion King remake.
I’m not a fan of most musicals anyway, but nothing would make me watch Cats again. My mom took me to watch it live when I was five years old. It gave me nightmares. (Yes, I’m aware that there are people here that will at me for this.)
Nah, Frozen 2 comes out in November and everyone will forget The Lion King remake happened.Also, I looked at the reviews for The Lion King and ouch! Some of them are scathing. That said, it'll make over a billion dollars and maybe it'll win a few Oscars because we're in 2019 and that's what we do now.
I didn't mind the Cats trailer, but damn! Jennifer Hudson absolutely murdered "Memory" (and not in a good way).
