Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell is #ThePenguin.
The new Max Original Series from Matt Reeves and the next chapter in @TheBatman saga is now in production. Coming in 2024 to Max.
Max have been doing a lot of these teasers for things only happening in a year’s time as part of the rebranded Max unveiling - it’s daft. But Colin Farrell’s transformation in this is insane in the “that’s amazing!” way, so worth a quick share now.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Series 2)
Paramount+ | June 15
Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One explore new worlds around the galaxy on the U.S.S. Enterprise. A prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, the show follows the crew of the USS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike.
Glad it’s back. A decent throwaway, escapist, bit of the Star Trek Expanded Universe that doesn’t take itself too seriously. And a trailer that uses The Postal Service’s Such Great Heights is an automatic plus in my book too.

I honestly enjoy it much more than the rest of the current showings. Picard is trying to hard, and Discovery lost the plot with time travel - why do all shows that starts time travel always fail?

Because most people (even the ones we think are idiots) have a mind that cannot quite reconcile the paradoxical nature of time travel. This causes a sense of anxiety that breaks the suspension of disbelief and ultimately makes us switch off anything that uses time travel.
Personally, even when the rationale behind it becomes plausible (multiple time streams), it still runs into my commonsense and I get switched off.
Just a theory.
