Mermaid is gender neutral, bro.

Bro is also gender neutral.

Chris Hemsworth ‘Taking Time Off,’ Discovered Genetic Predisposition for Alzheimer’s Disease: ‘I’m Going to Just Simplify’

Chris Hemsworth told Vanity Fair that he is planning to take a good chunk of time off work once his press tour for the Disney+ series “Limitless” wraps. In the fifth episode of the series, Hemsworth meets with a doctor and it’s revealed that the “Thor” actor has a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s disease. As Vanity Fair reports: “His makeup includes two copies of the gene APOE4, one from his mother, the other from his father, which studies have linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Although Hemsworth said “it’s not like I’ve been handed my resignation,” the actor is now eight to 10 times more likely to develop the disease. Hemsworth’s grandfather is currently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Nyc pic looks like an old scifi novel cover, I dig it

[dodint]

Almost a Dark Tower cover, that.

Yes, good call dodint

Banshees of Inisherin is certainly an interesting one. It's easily Martin McDonagh's most restrained (and Irish) film he's made, something that results in his funniest film as well. It's a welcome change of pace after the relative bombast of Three Billboards and Seven Psychopaths. Some flicks you can watch, enjoy, and then they're mostly out of sight, out of mind (like the two ones I just mentioned), but I suspect Banshees will be marinating for quite some time

Well, maybe you need to go back to the Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too school

Indy in New York seems odd. Although this may finally lead to the Indy/Ghostbusters crossover.

Saw this last night. Funniest has to be relative here cause that was such a tragic story. I’d say despair was the strongest emotion overall. The dialogue did make me laugh a lot though and farrell was amazing.

Bodies Bodies Bodies is basically a (minor spoiler)

movie version of werewolf

. I enjoyed it and it makes me think we should get a new game going.

Yeah, that's a good distinction, funniest in that there were the most laughs to be had I'd say. If you subscribe to the notion of comedy being the result of tension and release, that would certainly explain it.

Sounds very Irish.

apparently Bob Iger is coming back as Disney CEO. Very interesting move

I haven’t cared about Disney in a while. Never gave a **** about about the Marvel movies, Star Wars has been dead since the prequels and their live action remakes are insulting to my intelligence

Pixar is the best portion of their company but I haven’t really liked any of their films since Coco. The original Disney animated films like Frozen, Moana and Encanto are solid but not amazing


Ultimately hopefully this will bring about some change to Disney but I’m not holding my breath

Hello Morkle.

Take it to the mouse lovers thread.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Take it to the mouse lovers thread.

are we sure that’s the Disney thread or…something else…

[NTP66]

Only one way to find out.

[nocera]

It's park talk. I feel like movie talk should probably be in the movie thread but what do I know?

[dodint]

More often than not every time he has 'news' it's posted in the wrong thread and has already been discussed in depth by people with longer attention spans than him.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

thankfully that’s the only thing that’s longer

Watched Willow last night, Disney put it out in 4k hdr which looked great. That movie is wonderful. Val Kilmer is so damn funny. Love everything about this flick, it goes pretty hard and it's funny watching some of the new fantasy stuff today and how much we lose on screen because of CGI.

[Dickie Dunn]

I love Willow. Really looking forward to the show.

[nocera]

I love Planes, Trains, and Automobiles so much.
