Chloe Zhao getting honest about the less than spectacular reviews and reactions about Eternals, which debuted just last year for Marvel.

Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Lin-Manuel Miranda will serve as co-chairs of the Met Gala, returning to its traditional berth on the first Monday in May. The May 2 evening is actually the second star-studded gala after the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute was split during the pandemic.  It celebrates "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," the second part of a major two-part exhibition at the museum exploring the roots of American fashion.

No matter what your thoughts are on the content of the Marvel Studios film, “Eternals,” you can’t deny that the reviews were abysmal (a rarity for a MCU film or TV show) and fans were not pleased with the end result, either (proven by the low box office). This is especially disappointing when you consider that Oscar-winning filmmaker, Chloe Zhao, was at the helm of the film, which also sported an incredible all-star cast.

The Clydesdale horse is back in Budweiser‘s return to the Super Bowl!

Zack Sharf Seth Rogen is baffled by Hollywood’s need to have people care about the Academy Awards. Rogen, speaking to Insider to promote his new Super Bowl commercial with Paul Rudd, came to the conclusion that “maybe people just don’t care” about the Oscars anymore, and Hollywood should stop making it a priority to ensure they do.“I don’t get why movie people care so much if other people care what awards we give ourselves,” Rogen said. “To me, maybe people just don’t care.

Super Bowl LVI, set for February 13 at LA’s SoFi Stadium, will have a decidedly different feel than last year’s edition.

Salma Hayek becomes a Greek goddess for the upcoming BMW ad set to premiere during the Super Bowl LVI. Hayek, who is portraying Hera, will star next to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ralf Moller.“I am very excited that my first @BMWUSA ad is for their first-ever electric iX. Check it out on 2.13.22,” the Mexican actress wrote on Instagram, alongside the official poster of the campaing.

Super Bowl LVI ad takes the reins on all of our emotions.Titled “A Clydesdale’s Journey,” it’s the minute-long story of a wounded horse who finds the will to run in a tale more hard-hitting than a 12-pack of the brand’s lagers.Directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao of “Nomadland,” the horse is shown enduring a painful fall into barbed wire along with the crushing sadness the hurt equine felt while confined to its stable, unable to run.After what appeared to be a long and hard winter, the horse — with motivation from Budweiser’s iconic retriever dog — manages a heartfelt recovery to a slowed-down tune of the “Star-Spangled Banner” as its owners look on in awe as the Clydesdale takes off at full speed through their ranch.“This Super Bowl we have one message for America: In the home of the brave, down never means out,” the beer brand captioned the commercial.The inspirational tale that follows one of the brand’s beloved Clydesdales is meant to be a metaphor for what the nation has been enduring, said Daniel Blake, Budweiser’s vice president of marketing.“The Clydesdales are, for many people, a symbol of America, a symbol of hope, of strength, of resilience,” Blake told USA TODAY Sports of the “comeback story.”The move to pull on the nation’s heartstrings comes after Budweiser opted to not run any ads during last year’s Super Bowl, instead putting the money toward vaccine education.“For us to come back, with a symbol of America but also a story of injury, the road to recovery and ultimately, this triumph, I think is a really important message for the country to hear right now and one that really, only Budweiser can tell in this way,” Blake added, predicting the spot will hit people “kind of deep in their core.”The moving

“Eternals” feels completely different from every other Marvel Studios release, and much of that has to do with writer-director Chloé Zhao’s unique approach to the material – largely skipping green screen sets in favor of natural locations, favoring outdoor lighting, and a generally more philosophical approach to the material and characters that is mostly missing from other Marvel Studios productions. Watch any five minutes of the movie, and you can tell how unique it is – both in the Marvel Studios ecosystem and in big budget filmmaking in general.And this approach can be felt in the visual effects as well, which somehow have an earthier texture too.

The National Society of Film Critics voting for the best films of 2021 is underway today.

In a year where Chloe Zhao won the Best Director Oscar for “Nomadland” and went on to release one of the biggest box office successes of 2021 with Marvel Studios’ “Eternals,” it appears the year, as a whole, was fairly disappointing when it comes to the gender gap in filmmaking. After 2020 saw reasonable gains in parity amongst female and male filmmakers, 2021 has taken a step back, according to a new survey.

As we close out 2021, it’s interesting to think that perhaps the most anticipated Marvel Studios film of the year turned out to be the most disappointing. And that film is “Eternals.” With an incredible cast and an Oscar-winning director in Chloe Zhao, many expected “Eternals” to be a new, daring take on the MCU.

Rebecca Davis editorChinese viewers may not get a chance to catch the Chloe Zhao-helmed Marvel movie “Eternals” in theaters due to China’s thorny relationship with the director, but the film’s meshing of Eastern and Western ideas has nonetheless appealed to some Chinese viewers.Many reviewers on the Douban social media platform who have seen the film — presumably through illicit means — have commented on how excited they are to identify with what they feel are Chinese elements buried within the typical Marvel superhero showmanship.
