The Nimona movie, which was deep into production and scheduled to be released in 2022, has been canned by Disney, and the studio has been shut down: [link]
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

God damn it. I was so excited about a Nimona movie.

Oh, woes. That's disappointing.

Oh, that's super disappointing. I wonder if they'd be willing to sell off the Nimona IP so that someone else could finish it or something? Probably not, but what a shame; the comic was so charming.

So I watched Space Sweepers on Netflix last night, and if you want Firefly but with an Asian cast and no weird slut-shaming, and in actual Korean (as well as English and French), and with an adorable moppet, this is your jam. There is a bit of confusion about one plot element that might have been me missing a couple lines of dialogue, but it's a very fun action-adventure involving space stations and corporate skullduggery at an interplanetary level.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Oh, Ken loved that movie!

I'm finally getting back to my Century+ project after a one-year hiatus. (Well, a one-year hiatus in blogging, as I've been watching many of these films over the course of that year. But the delay meant that it took me somewhat longer to compose my thoughts as I ended up rewatching a bunch before writing these up.)

In any case, going forward, I hope to stay on track with my initial plan of writing up one decade a month, so look for my post on the 1920s at the end of this month or the beginning of next.
For the 1910s, I think Judex (1916) would be of particular interest to the Buffistas.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I saw The Cameraman’s Revenge, which you embedded in your post. A very clever film! I only hope the filmmakers were wise enough not to try to repeat their success in dead-insect animation.

Honestly not sure if this belongs here or in Infinite Chrises, but I finally saw Knives Out and the sweater! I was so distracted by how big Chris Evans arms are. Too big for the character/sweater.
