Do you enjoy music?

I do, but I don't get to spend as much time listening as I might like.

You?

Lately I have been trying to move away from soundtrack and instrumental to more lyrical artists.

I think the last soundtrack I bought was Guardian's of the Galaxy for my kid

Did you know each soundtrack of batman begins is named after a genus of bats?

That's really cool!

I had the original Batman soundtrack years ago, but none of the more recent ones.

I guess Steven Spielberg played the clarinet himself on the Jaws soundtrack.

I sure do enjoy it when directors play a direct part in their creations

lol yeah.

Everybody says the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack is great, but I haven't heard it.

I think George Clooney is on it.

So is their any musicians you follow?

No but my son is a huge fan of rap.

I think he bought a Drake album recently.

Drakes song Hotline Bling is sampled from the 1972 song Why We Can't Live Together.

Everything old is new again!

Ah Drake is a recognized choice.

Surprisingly he gain initial fame for being a actor on Degrassi rather than as a musician.

Wow I didn't know that!

Weird that he was on a show about a high school, since he didn't graduate until he was 25 years old!

I guess he was a perfect fit since he was in high school during the show?

I guess so.

His 4th album, Views, broke a lot of records, like it was in the top 100 for 13 nonconsecutive weeks.

I guess he wasn't hurt by finishing school so late!

Well now that he is so successful he is spending it on some odd things, like first edition children's books

Oh yes, I heard he bought copies of Charlotte's Web and Winnie the Pooh in the UK.

In any case, how about kanye west?

He seems like kind of a weird guy to me.

He says AIDS is a man-made conspiracy disease.

I hope he doesn't think vaccines cause autism

Oh god I hope not!

There are people who will listen because he's a celebrity.

*shakes head and rolls eyes* I hear his music is good though.

I have to admit I haven't checked it out.

I usually listen to what musicians say for music and what doctors say for medicine.

I don't trust most musicians to tell me how to treat my body.

In any case, I had a wonderful time chatting with you and I personally think his music is great, though some of his though aren't as much

Cool.
Nice to talk to you!

Have a nice day.


Hi do you like astronomy?

its very interesting, but this is the first time I have read about the ganymede being so large

That would be Jupiter's moon?

I wonder if Jupiter is one of the five planets visible to the naked eye.

I would guess from it size it is

The planet Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise and has no seasons.

That seems boring.

uranus also has a strange rotation, it rolls around rather than spinning

That is unique.

I think Mars sounds like a weird planet.

It is called Red Planet and named for the Roman god of war.

yes it says because of the iron oxide

Mars is also considered a terrestrial planet and the fourth planet from the Sun.

Must be hot there.

but it has polar icecaps like us

True and valleys and deserts so maybe it is pretty diverse.

It is the second smallest planet in the Solar System.

i did not know wifi was a byproduct from astronomy

That is pretty neat.

I didn't either.

The town of Saadat Shahr in Iran is called the astronomy town and even bought an observatory.

On special occasions they turn off all lights to improve the view of the night sky.

I wonder what would people would say if we did that to an american town

People would probably like it.

Did you know Mercury was the smallest planet?

yes I did,

Would you be interested in the mars colonization project planned for 2023?

I guess it will be a reality tv show.

it would be cool, I did not know plants like Lichen could live there already.

Yeah I think it sounds cool as well.

It would take 2 or 3 days to get there under constant 1g acceleration.

That's a bit long!

it seems long

Well it's been nice chatting.

Maybe I'll see you on that trip to Mars.

LOL!

one day bye

Have a nice day.


Good evening!

Are you into astronomy?

Did you know that Venus has no seasons because it doesn't tilt?

I enjoy learning about it.
That is interesting about Venus.
Our solar system is pretty vast

It is!

Did you know that there is a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mph in 2000 degree Fahrenheit weather?

It sounds fascinating.

Wow!

It also sounds dangerous!

How about the fact that all of the planets would fit between the earth and our moon?

Yes!

Fascinating.

And precursors to life have been discovered in a planetary system about 455 light years away.

I wonder how they determined that?

That seems like a microscopic issue rather than a telescopic one.

Yes, I would like to know.

I've been reading about observational versus theoretical astronomy, but I don't know what research methods would have been used to detect the building blocks of life so far away.

Can you imagine how complex the orbit would be for that planet that orbits four stars?

I haven't heard of that planet!
What is it called?

That was all I read about it.

However, the math that describes orbiting one star is complex enough.

That math would be crazy.

Yes!

Did you know that planets were redefined in 2006 by the Astronomical Union?

It's been controversial.

The definition is based on where an object orbits and disregards its mass.

I suppose that is why Pluto was downgraded.

I wonder how the Chinese are controlling their rover on the dark side of the moon right now.

Yes, I wonder.

Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta were also once considered planets and then downgraded.

Mankind has studied astronomy for a long time.

Even the Vatican has an observatory for studying it.

Yes!
And the ancient Babylonians too!

Harlow Shapley, a noted astronomer decided to study it because it was the first subject in the course catalog at college.

Strange world we live in.

Yes, and a byproduct of astronomical research led to the development of wifi.

Had you heard that?

No.

But I am old enough to remember Teflon being a byproduct of space exploration by the USA.

Fascinating!

I was not aware of that.

Did you know that sounds are higher pitched on Mars because of atmospheric differences?

No.

But it makes sense.

Sound is different in water here on earth.

I also read of a town in Iran that is so much into astronomy that they shut the lights down on occasion to improve the view of the night sky.

Wow!
That would be a fun place to visit.
Well, it's been good talking to you!
Have a wonderful evening!


Deadpool 2 is a great movie!!
!

I agree.
Ryan reynolds is so fun in it

He, is I think he nailed the role and well the movie has a pretty good cast as well

yeah.

did you know deadpool described himself as ryan reynolds with a shar-pei, before ryan was even cast?

Really?

that is an interesting fact, another cool fact is that the video game cost more to make than the movie

wow.

apparently the voice of the mystery villain is ryan as well

You know Deadpool is the highest grossing r rated film to have a different director than Cameron or Lucas!

I did not know that, quite something.

speaking of superheroes, do you like Marvel Comics?

I do, some of my favorite heroes are from the Marvel Comics universe, I sure love the movies

did you know they offered the right to sony for all superheroes and they only bought sony?

I heard they bough Spiderman and I used to like the old Spiderman movies with Toby Maguire as the star, he was a good Spiderman

yeah I will agree with that, for sure.

they should have bought the rest when they had a chance

I agree, considering now they are worth billions, that sure was a poor investment decision, the X-Men are also pretty good, I like them

did you know marvel successfully argues in court that mutants in x-men are not humans?

I didnt and did winning that argument helped them in any way?

yeah it did actually, they paid the lower rate on toys

Oh I see Im guessing that made them millions then, Wonder Woman is also a great film, have you watched that one

Yeah I have I really loved it and looking forward to the second one.

You?

I did, I thought it was a decent film and will watch the second one for sure, it generated a lot of money

yeah it is the highest grossing superhero origin movie

and also highest grossing WWI movie, I guess Wonder Woman has a lot of fans.


Hi.

Do you like superheroes?

I really like Wonder Woman and the film they made based off of her in 2017.

Some of them.

I haven't seen Wonder Woman yet.

I guess I should, it is the top grossing movie for WW I movie.

It was really good and the lead actress Gal Gadot did a fantastic job.

It could be because she served two years as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces.

That would be good prep.

She didn't even realize she was auditioning for that part!

I love to hear stuff like that!

I like how far Wonder Woman's character has come.

When she first appeared in 1941 the group made her their secretary.

It was good for women too.

2017 was the 1st year since 1958 that the top 3 highest grossing movies were female led.

That is so cool.

Comic book movies are really successful but I guess it wasn't always that way.

In 1998 Marvel offered Sony almost all of its characters for 25 million but they rejected because they only wanted Spiderman for 10 million.

It seems like they have really taken off lately.

Marvel created a character named Blue Ear for a 4-year-old boy that had hearing problems.

That was cool.

That is so kind.

And it started because he did not want to wear his hearing aids and told his mother "Super heroes don't wear hearing aids" so marvel created one.

Very cool.

Did you know there is one character owned by both Marvel and DC that is designed to keep the companies' universes separate?

Leave it up to big business to find a way to keep their investment safe.

It is interesting that Disney does not own the rights to big marvel characters East of the Mississippi due to contract with Universal Studios.

I guess one would need to be a lawyer to understand the Mississippi thing.

Did you like either of the Dead Pool movies.

Funny dark humor...

I only saw the first one not the second but I think I should.

It is the highest grossing R rated film not directed by James Cameron or George Lucas.

I guess it cost more to make the video game than the 1st movie.

SW development is expensive!

What is nice is even though it is competition for directors like James Cameron, he read the script and championed the film to Fox executives.

Good for him.

It is true that people get used to one particular actor doing superheroes.

I can't imagine anyone but Reynolds doing Deadpool...

What is odd is that the comic book series in 2004 had Deadpool describe himself as "Ryan Reynolds crossed with a shar pei" so Ryan Reynolds believed he was destined for the role.

It seems that is true.
He has that personality.
Downey is another one for Iron Man.

I think the same thing about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but the director knew him as musical theater Australian unknown actor.

Interesting.

I guess the case could be made for Gal Gadot for Wonder Woman.

Some people are just born to play the role.

Well thank you for chatting.

I learned a lot of new and fun information today.


Hello have you seen deadpool 2?

I haven't seen it yet, did you?

I am a pretty big fan of the Marvel Comics Universe though.

Yeah I have seen it ,  it was really good and funny.

How was Ryan Reynolds?

He's carved out a pretty iconic role for himself as Deadpool and was great in the first one.

Oh yeah,  for sure,  he was perfect for this role.

Did you know in the 2004 comic Deadpool describes himself as a " Ryan reynolds with a shar-pei"  which lead Ryan to believe he was destined for the role lol

No, that's awesome though.

Did you know James Cameron and David Fincher were involved in pushing for Deadpool 2 to be made.

Two pretty big names right there.

wow that is awesome.

Thats pretty funny that the Deadpool videogame cost more to make than the movie.

lol I never played the game.

Are you a fan of any the other Marvel characters/movies?

Stan Lee's estate must have been very valuable.

Yeah I love all of them,  I guess if id have to pick,  I really like Thor,  Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers.

How about u?

I'm a big fan of Thor.

I thought Ragnorak was the best Marvel movie.

Chris Hemsworth is awesome as Thor.

They probably couldn't have picked anyone better.

Right!
Thor ragnarok was hilarious!
That was the best of the thors.

It's funny back in 1998 Sony could have bought all cinematic rights for Marvel for $25 million but they decided rejected the offer.

I bet they wish they didn't.

I know right,  this couldve been big awhile ago,  but I guess they only wanted spiderman.

Yeah, crazy.

Oops.

Did you know there's a character owned by both Marvel and DC?

No,  who is it?

It's this character called Access.

It's kind of weird, his sole purpose is to keep the Marvel and DC separate universe separate from each other.

Thats cool,  I wonder if they will make a movie about him,  since both DC and Marvel have a ton of movies and tv shows out now.

I don't think so.

Do you like any of the DC movies?

I heard Wonder Woman was good but didn't see it.

Yeah wonder woman was great,  I think the second one is coming out soon,  The newer supermans with Henry cavill are good,  I like the batman series too,  and the tv show the flash.

Arrow was good but hes so dark,  I only have room for one dark super hero and I like batman lol

Cool, how did you like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman?

She is awesome,  really great actress,  I liked her in fast n furious series.

She also served in the Isreali army.

well I believe everyone in Isreal has to serve its a law

I didn't even know she was in the Fast N Furious series.

I remember the classic Lynda Carter Wonder Woman too.

Do you?

No I don't think I ever watched the older wonder woman.

Yeah she plays Giselle in Fast N Furious.

I remember my parents used to have it on every once in a while, it was pretty good.

I should check out the new movie.

Can't believe Marvel started in 1939.

I know right,  its been awhile!
Its been fun chatting.


Hi, how are you?

Hello, doing great!
You?
Are you interested in astronomy?

Sure.
I don't know much about it.
What about you?

I'm impartial but I am surprised by a couple of facts in my reading, like when September ends, the planet is even brighter than in previous months.

People have been watching the skies forever.

Ancient Babylonians had a  were  able to track planets such as Jupiter with mathematical precision.

Nowadays we're pretty disconnected from the solar system.

Yes and without special equipment, only five planets in the solar system are visible to the naked eye.

The tech for viewing planets has had benefits in other areas.

A critical step in creation of wi-fi was a byproduct of research into improving astronomy

That information gained can also be compiled to produce sounds and songs that illustrate what space is like for visually impaired individuals, that's pretty neat!

Would you want to live on Mars?

A Mars colonization project is planned for 2023.

I'm not sure, but if I did, I don't think I want to be one of the first ones on there.

Do you?

And do you think colonization on Mars by 2023 is feasible?

No, not really.

Flying to mars under constant 1g accelaration  takes only 2 or 3 days.

But do we have tech like this?

I'm not sure and even if there is tech that is capable of that, do humans survive that at those speeds?

It'll be pretty neat to see the sunset on Mars though, because it is blue.

I guess that's because the atmosphere is different.

I don't know what kind of life it can support, but there is an atmosphere.

Yes, I think I'd like to visit the Saadat Shahr 'astronomy town' because the residents have a strong passion for stargazing, so that's what the small stargazing community is called.

I wonder if they'll find a planet that can support life.Astronomers have already detected building blocks of life in a planetary system 455 light-years from us.

I think we will or maybe the movie with Matt Damon really convinced me, I forgot what it was called.

I don't remember either.

I think that it's expensive and high risk.

Probably better to invest in better ways to live on this planet, the one we're designed for.

I agree but I must say that human perception of the planets have changed as scientific knowledge advanced.

I wonder how older generations of people feel about the solar system knowing what we know today.

They feel the way that the younger generations will in 40 years.

Astonished about how much has been learned and our tiny place in the universe.

I enjoyed chatting with you!

Yes, same here!
Have a great day!

Thanks!


hey there, do you like superhero movies?

Yes, I like superhero movies.
Do you?

Yes, I do.

Do you have a favorite publishing company that is in charge of superhero movies and such?

Yes, I do.

My favorite publishing company associated with superhero movies is Marvel.

What's your favorite publishing company?

Same here.
Do you have a favorite superhero?

Yes I do.

My favorite superhero is Batman.Who is your favorite superhero?

I am going to go with the classic I think, SUperman.

Apparently Spider-man is the only big superhero owned by Sony

I like Superman.

Yes, Spiderman is the only big superhero owned by Sony, in partnership with Marvel Studios.

Have you ever heard of the character Access

No, I haven't heard of Access.
What kind of superhero is that?

It is character whose main power is to keep marvel and dc separate from each other and is co-owned by both studios

Interesting!

I like the concept of that character.

Which studio do you prefer: Marvel or DC?

I am not sure, I do not pay much attention to studies as I do to the movies they make.

Marvel did create a special superhero for a little boy though

Which superhero did they create for the little boy?

It is called Blue Ear because the little boy was hard of hearing

That is heart-warming.

Did you know that Marvel claimed in court that since mutants aren't people, they should pay the lower rate on X-men toys.

Because they're not considered human, so they don't qualify as dolls.

THey must have had some really good lawyers.

Did you every watch wonder woman?

Yes, I have watched Wonder Woman.

Did you know Gal Gadot fought in the Israeli special forces?

I think that is why they hired her, she had the skills she thought she was testing for catwoman not wonder woman

I am surprised to hear that.

I thought auditions were more straightforward.

I imagine it was a surprise for her to find out the truth!

Yeah, well she did well.

GOod for her.

I mean wonder woman is the highest grossing superhero origin movie

Yes, it is.

That makes me happy.

I am glad Wonder Woman did so well in theaters.

Did you see the  movie?

I did it was so good.

And apparently it is also the highest grossing wwi movie too

Yes, it is.
That is good.
Well, it was nice talking with you!

Same here.
Have a good one.


Hello!
How are you?

I am good!
Currently fascinated about Mars.
What about you?

I'm good as well!
Mars is so crazy these days huh?

Yes!

Have you heard about the sounds on mars?

Don't they have a higher pitch than sounds on earth?

Yes, due to differences in atmosphere, sounds on mars have a higher pitch than they do on Earth.

That is so cool!

Can you believe how they are trying to fund a mars colonization project by 2023?

That is crazy.

Do you know how they are going to fund it?

By creating a reality tv show.
hmmm....

I wonder what that reality tv show will be about.

I love reality TV so I will probably watch it regardless.

Oh see, I'm the complete opposite on that one haha.

Do you know how long it would take to get to mars?

If you fly to mars under constant 1g acceleration it will only take 2 or 3 days.

I thought it took a lot longer.

Me too!

Movies make them seem longer, but they might be going much much slower for airtime lol.

That is true.

Have you heard about the lost satellite on mars?

Didn't Lockheed Martin lose on somehow?

Yes, locheed martin used the imperial system while nasa used the metric system.

Oh boy how funny!

Can you imagine if Earth had shard of glass that precipitated sideways at 4500 mph?

That would be terrifying.

Especially because they are in 2000 degree Fahrenheit weather.

We would probably have some great tans on that planet haha.

Very true.

I wonder how scientists even measured that.

Good question!

Anyways, had a great chat with you, have an awesome day!


Did you hear that Elmo is the only non-human to testify before the us congress?

I did hear that.

I also heard that are three subways to transpport staff between the capital and their offices.

Wow did you know that they have fantasy congress?

They aslo have a baseball game that dates back to 1909.

wow i never know that.
Are you a star wars fan?

I am a fan.
Are you?

Yes indeed George is a genius, don't you think?

I do, both creatively and financially!

The first one was in the 70's and it was the last three in the series that he released.

The first 8 films were nominated for academy awards and a combined box office of $8.5B!

Yeah and his name is still living on long after he's gone.

That what legacy is all about!

I read his ex-wife has done a lot for the movies too.

She even killed obi wan!

You got to feel me in on that one.

i liked the video games as well.

The new one aren't as good but still good enough, the movies i mean.

It was her idea to kill off obi wan, leia's incestual good luck kiss and make the trench run more tension filled.

wow now that's drama.

James earl jones spent 2.5 hours only recording all of darth vadors lines for 7,500.

If only he knew what that would do, he would have demanded more.

Or if he was paid by the hour, at least talk slower.

Right but i'n sure that was a lot of money back then.

Not if all 8 of them made $8.5B in total box office!

That's a small percent for a main character!

7.500 for two hours of work will work for me my friend, lol.

Astronauts in a space suit can not whistle.

Yes, I would definitely take it.
Why cant they whsitle?

I have know idea just a known fact.

Better question is why would they want to in that suit, lol.

apparently there is a water cloud in space that hold 100 trillion times the amount of water on earth.

There's a lot of questions there!
Maybe for our next chat.
Have a great day!


Hello.
Do you like information about space?

Absolutely!
What do you know about space?

I find it interesting that astronauts cannot whistle in a space suit.

That is interesting.

I wonder what prevents that from happening.

Me too.

They also touch helmets on space walks when they want to talk in private.

That's pretty neat.

So they just walk up to each other and bump helmets real quick?

Yes, I believe so.
Are you a star wars fan

I have actually only seen the first film but I am a huge fan of Carrie Fisher.

RIP.

I may have seen one a very long time ago.

Fox did not think it would succeed so they told George lucas if he directed it he would get all merchandising rights to himself.

He must have made a fortune.

Oh I actually knew that about the films!

He definitely made a fortune.

They thought that the entire franchise would never make any money - especially when it came to toys and such.

I bet they regret every bit of that LOL

Yes, and his wife Marcia was the reason they made all the good changes.

She even won an award for it.

Good changes in regards to what?

Well the good luck kiss with leia, obi wan dying

I have already forgotten about all of this.

Some things are really interesting.

I don't know why  I never watched more than the first one.

Did you know in 2013 it was dubbed in Navajo.

It was the first movie ever dubbed in the native american language

Wow.

Star Wars really is a historical movie in pop culture.

I had no idea they did that.

2013 was not very long ago either.

No and another cool thing is James Earl Jones only spent two and a half hours recording darth vaders lines.

Doesn't he do cell phone commercials too.

I am not sure what he does.

James Earl Jones was also Mufasa in the Lion King I think?

I think he will be in the remake too.

Cool.
Good chatting with you

Same to you!

Same here


Are you a Star Wars fan?

Yes I personally love Star Wars.

George Lucas is a visionary for creating it.

For sure, Stars Wars made him a billionaire!

No doubt.

The first eight films were nominated for Academy Awards and also commercially successful.

Wow, I think George Lucas' wife got an oscar for editing for the films

Yeah it sounds like she was the major reason for making changes to the original film.

I wonder if it was for the good or for the bad lol

Yes I would like to know that as well!

I think it's so cool that George Lucas was able to keep licensing and merchandising rights for them self.

It really paid off!

For sure, he would not be worth nearly as much as he is now.

Did you ever hear how much James Earl Jones was paid for his voice

I almost don't believe this number but he was only paid $7500, can you believe that?

I believe that, that would be like 3000 dollars per hour I bet lol.

I am hoping he made more after the first movie

Yeah I am sure he did.

In 2013 Star Wars was dubbed in Navajo making at the first major film to be dubbed in a Native American language.

That is awesome that they did that, but was there really that much of a demand for that?

Yeah I'm not sure it might just be more symbolic than anything.

But I love how the film is set in space.

It is such an interesting concept.

For sure, it was out of this world at the time, no pun intended lol.

Space is so mythical

Ha ha it really is.

I would really love to go to space.

But apparently astronauts in space suit cannot whistle, I wonder why?

I couldn't whistle and I wasn't even in space lol!

I wonder why too, maybe the no gravity makes it impossible

haha!

Yes perhaps.

If astronauts out on a spacewalk wanted to talk in private they would touch helmets.

Good to know.

Lol, that is awesome, secret code is the best!

It was so nice chatting with you!

Yes it is!

Astronauts even got free corvettes back in the day!

So nice talking with you too.

Bye!

I want a corvette, lol.
Have a great weekend!


Hi how are you today?

Hello - I am good.
How are you?

Great!

enjoying this snow day here in New jersey!

are you into politics at all?

Oh wow that's awesome.
It's just raining here.
I'm in Ohio.
I'm not huge into politics.
What about you?

Not really.

I did not know that Hilary was president of young republicans in college.

Makes sense though.

Oh wow I didn't know that either.

I do support Trump though.

I think he's a little hot headed, but doing good things so far.

I do not support him but I think he could be doing worse.

I think Kanye should run for president in the next election.

LOL - that would be funny to have Kanye run for president.

He's a huge trump supporter.

Did you know Kanye believes aids is a man made disease?

HAHA yea I saw that one time.

He says some really weird things at times.

He also once gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair during a concert.

I guess he has some good in him.

That's good.

I saw one time when he stole the mic from Taylor Swift.

It was a pretty low move of his.

Yea I think I remember that.
Poor Taylor swift.

Yea it was not a cool move to do.

I saw that rapper Big Sean had a GPA of 3.7 and turned down a scholarship in Michigan.

That is impressive.

I have been to a Big sean concert twice!

Oh wow that's cool.
How was the concert?

Great!

He is very talented!

Better than Kanye in my opinion.

Kanye once did a snl skit mocking himself for interrupting award shows!

I'm not a huge fan of Kanye music.

Me neither, his only song gold digger was in the top ten songs of all time.

I don't think I've heard that song before.

That was the only song I really ever liked from him.

It was good talking to you!


Did you know that Hillary Clinton was president of young republicans in college?

No, but I'm not surprised.

Apparently she adopts a southern drawl when campaigning in southern states.

That I did know.

What I didn't know was that Taylor Swift is taller than Kanye.

Kanye is an interesting character.

He believes that aids is a man made disease.

I know, I didn't know that Evel Knievel sued him though.

Do you know what he was sued for?

Damage to his reputation from "Touch the sky"

Kanye can be nice sometimes.

He once gave a mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert.

I head about that, I didn't know he was 41 though.

Well, he has accomplished a lot in those years, and has been responsible for cultural movements and progressions within hip hop.

I didn't know that he incorporated gospel in some of his songs.

That's cool.
I also like how eclectic his music is.

Yeah, I do too.
It is pretty interesting.

Do you like music in the minor key?

One of  Kanye's most successful songs, Gold Digger, is in the minor key.

I actually play a lot of music.

I heard that Kayne barely plays in minor keys, sort of surprising to me.

I kind of like how surpising Kanye can be.

Have you heard of dragon energy?

He's a lot more interesting, that's for sure.

Yeah, I am not really sure what dragon energy is but Kanye has been tweeting about it.

I'm not sure either, he should make a soft drink called that!

LOL

Well, that would be interesting but probably not surprising in the scope of what Kanye does, haha!


Hi, how are you?

Who would you vote for, Hillary or Kanye?

Kanye West for sure!
No more gold diggers.
What about you?

I would want them on the same ticket.

They could release duets and make a ton of cash.

I would love all the Kanye conspiracy theories when he's in office.

He believes that aids is a man-made disease.

I figure that he could go into the secret files and find out about Area 51 and the AIDS conspiracy.

The aliens brought AIDS.

Haha.

Do you remember him on TV during that Hurricane Katrina telethon years back?

Um not really.

Did he say some crazy stuff?

Did he say the govt caused the hurricane?

Oh yea.

He said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" on live tv.

Well, that would make sense from his point of view.

The hurricane devastated the place and there was little help.

True.

In hindsight, it actually doesn't sound crazy at all.

Do you remember when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift?

He busted on stage and grabbed the mic.
That was crazy.
Maybe he could be president one day?

I think you have to be slightly crazy to be president.

Like who actually wants to be president.

I think Kanye would want to have Trump as his running mate.

He could get rid of Mike Pence.
Trump and Kanye 2020?

Kanye and Trump, 2020.
Kanye don't play that.
He ain't VP.

Oh man.

I don't know if Trump would be down to be VP, especially after being the P. They might have a conflict.

Maybe Tump would do it if it meant he'd have more free time, maybe to play golf.

As much as Trump would like that it's bad for his brand.

He wants to make his brand name more valuable.

Most of net worth is attributed to the value of his name.

True.

He could put a TRUMP sign on the guest house and rent it out.

Anyway, great chat!

I think he would like to put a Trump sign everywhere.

Kanye might like it too, since he wears that hat everywhere.

Take care!

Have a fine night!

Thanks you too


Have you seen the black panther movie?

No I haven't.

I'm not a very big super-hero movie person.

Have you?

yeah, it was actually pretty good and apparently good enough for someone think that india could take lessons from it.

LOL

Yes, I tend to doubt the film makers were trying to remind Africa and India of their shared past.

hahahaaa.. you never know!

the inspirations has to come from somewhere!

I suppose.

I did think it was interesting Marvel Studios put up their characters as collateral.

If it hadn't been successful Merril Lynch might have been making these movies

True!

The Black panther is the richest super hero.

Is he?
Richer than Bruce Wayne?
Or is that a separate universe

it just says superhero... says tony stark is worth 100 million and black panther is 500 million.

Maybe they are talking about marvel

Maybe.

And Black Panther was the 18th Marvel universe film.

I guess most of them have escaped my notice

Maybe!

Would rather watch a disney movie or a marvel movie?

Umm, Disney I suppose.

But really I kind of tend to think of them all as kids movies anymore.

Just a sign of getting old I guess

oh that's so true!

you see frozen was the first disney film to be directed by women?

I did kind of like Frozen.

Sad that it took that long to get a female director.

well, i guess it's better late than never.

like early to the table is the toy industry taking advantage of putting toys out before a film is released

Well we've got to hook the little kids, parents are where the money is no?

yes they are!

Geez... wreck it ralph development started back in the 80s

I don't remember if I ever saw the original jungle book, but its very funny that the four vultures were supposed to be voiced by The Beatles

did not know that!
lion king was dubbed in zulu for africa

Interesting.

I'd love to hear "circle of life" sung in zulu

so would i... probably on youtube.. been a good chat, thanks!


What's up?

Have you seen Black Panther yet?

It was directed by Ryan Coogler who is pretty good

I did see the movie.
I'm a fan of Danai Gurira, she's great.
I though the movie was pretty good.

Yes, Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa was an excellent choice

I know, he was good too.

I thought it was funny how the women kind of took over the movie though.

They really stole the show.

I was impressed with the whole cast.

It was surprising how well the movie did at the box office.

One billion is nothing to sneeze at.

Incredible.

Yes I especially enjoyed Letitia Wright's performance

Didn't she play the tech genius sister?

Yeah, I thought her character was very likable and funny.

I enjoyed the wardrobe.

Their outfits were amazing and beautiful.

They really put a lot into it.

I thought the clothing seemed a little different from what I'm used to seeing.

Now I see the Indian influence.

Funny thing about Black Panther is the censored "praise hanuman!"

in the Indian version

Yes, I can understand why they were being so careful about it.

I thought it was funny how they thought the Indian people would be offended by the villain praising one of their deities but they felt the opposite way.

I guess it would be empowering to hear that.

That whole "black leopard" thing just sounds crazy.

I'm glad they didn't change the name.

Yea, the character was created before the black panther party was formed

Right, but I'm sure a lot of people don't know that and may have taken issue.

I never made the connection between the two myself.

What I find the most interesting about the story is that Black Panther is the richest superhero.

You have to have an incredible imagination to put all those details into a character like that.

The background information is fascinating.

Yep, Black Panther is the richest superhero, he has more money than Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark

Yeah, richer than just about anyone real or fictional I would guess.

I would have guessed Bruce Wayne was the richest superhero but I haven't really been into Marvel until recently.

I think it's nice how these young actors get to play superheros their parents grew up with.

I had no idea they used real historical information either.

The symbols and written script in the movie dated as far back as the fourth century!

Wow!

Yea, India and Africa have had a lot of cultural exchanges.

The Siddhis cane to India in ancient times

Both countries have very rich histories.

I can imagine what would have become of them if they hadn't been invaded and colonized.

Now both countries have major issues with poverty among other things.

They were incredibly talented and spiritual.

They are now but I just wonder how far they would have come without interference.

I never knew India ever had the number one economy in the world!

Not only did India have a great economy, they were also very knowledgeable  in mathematics, metallurgy, astronomy, medicine, navigation, water management, and textiles

It's not surprising that India still produces so many mathematicians, engineers, and doctors.

Centuries later those talents seem to be ingrained culturally.

It's amazing that they had such a large university so long ago.

The invasion in 1193 didn't stop their progress altogether.

That's what I can determination!

I found it fascinating how many cultures studied astronomy.

Not only did ancient Indians study it so did ancient Babylonians

The study of astronomy probably began when ancient cultures realized they could use it to navigate.

I didn't realize there were different branches of astronomy.

They probably began with observational astronomy and it developed into theoretical as time went on.

When they realized there was a lot more going on than just lights in the sky.

It's all fascinating but probably above my thinking.

All that math and theoretical stuff makes my head hurt.

Using astronomy researchers were able to date events such as odysseus taking back the throne of Ithaca

I really enjoy historical information like that.

It's interesting that it was described in Homer's "The Odyssey".

Apparently it happened on April 16, 1178 b.c.

It's amazing that they can use astronomy to track dates and planets with mathematical precision!

It truly is


Did you see the movie Black Panther yet?

I haven't but I heard it was really good!

The character is the richest of all the superheros

I can't believe that the symbols and written script in the movie date back to the 4th century!

So cool.

It is!

Buts its a shame that many associate the character's name with the Black Panther party of the 60s

I thought it was very cool though that Chadwick was accepted into a summer theater program at oxford university and it was funded by Denzel Washington!

I thought the same thing, It is the coolest real life story to the movie.

Denzel once joke that he wanted Chadwick to repay the tuition since the movie was such a success.

Do you know what else is a success?
Astronomy.
Do you know anything about it?

Only thing I know about it is what Bill Nye taught me through the tv when I was a kid

Well it is super awesome!

It's a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena.

Astronomy is too complex for me.

I have more of a Walt Disney kind of mind.

lol

I love Disney!
What is your favorite movie?

Lion King

That was the first Disney film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release!

I am a huge collector of Disney toys.

I wish I could get some of the production samples from the toy companies

Yeah me too!
I love Frozen though.

Thats a good one too; its this generations lion king and a instant classic.

The song helped to catapult that movie too

Yes the soundtrack like many Disney movies helped enhance the film!

This was Disney's first movie with a woman director too.

That is so encouraging to hear.

I also can't believe that wreck-it-ralph production in the late 1980's

Thanks


Hi!

Would you like to come to my Black Panther Party?

I do not know.

Will there be snacks?

If I say Glory to Hanuman, will you think it rude?

BYO on snacks, but with $1 billion earned in global revenues, we have a nice budget for drinks.

Thats a fair amount of money for drinks.

Cheers.

Apparently, in India, the censures removed the saying Glory to Hanuman.

Well, I say since Hanuman is one of the most popular gods in India, a party would not be a party without 'em!

I have to confess, I have never seen the movie.

I know that Forest Whitaker was in it.

It was kind of funny to see him in Star Wars a few years ago.

The guy is like weeds.

His eyes do not point in the same direction.

Gives him a distinctive look.

I wonder if Denzel Washington ever helped him out like he did for Chad Boseman?

Denzel seems to have helped Chad a bit.

Was Chadwick also in star wars as a young Lando?

Now I am not sure if Marvel did the censorship  or if it was India.

Good question.

There is much mystery in the stars... We might have to muster all of our powers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to explain the origin of those stars...

A lot of interesting things came from studying the stars.

Ancient Babylonians were no slouches.

Bill Nye, the science guy and executive director of the planetary society would agree with you.

I occasionally look at the moon with a telescope.

I guess that is called observational astronomy.

It would be Theoretical if I thought about the moon from inside the house.

I see you a person of much depth and introspection.

You would do well in the Iranian town of Saadat Shahr.

That is if you came outside to do your star gazing...

Should I bring the telescope to your Black Panther Party?

That Iranian town sounds very relaxing.

Sure!

Forrest Gump is coming too, and he is bringing shrimp.

You may want to bone up on your command of Homer's The Odyssey.

No doubt the topic of using astronomy to triangulate the date of Odysseus's taking back of the throne of  Ithaca will be a hot topic.

I am sure it will.

If Carl Sagan shows up, Bill Nye might try and start something.

So, there is that.

Sagan talks a lot about those billions and billions of galaxies.

I mean, like, how much is there to say about the theoretical and observational basis that serve as the basis for ones analytical models of interplanetary bodies?

Some of us would like to talk about football...

I am not sure I would like to talk about football.

It is safer than politics though.

Most of the stars we see, they are already dead.

burned out long before their light ever reached us.

Navigating by a dead star is a lost art.

So true.

And most movie stars can be described the same way.

FYI.

Did I tell you to come dressed as any DIsney character?

Oh that makes it all the more fun.

I would like to be Ralph as in Wreck it..

That's a good one!
See you at the party friend!


did you see the Black Panther movie?

Yes and I loved did did you know it is the richest superhero?

Yes his net worth is $500 million in total

Yes even more than Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark

Yes.

Did you know the symbols in the movie dated back to 4th century

Yes they are from a script that is called nsobdi from present day Nigeria

Yeah pretty cool.

Did you know they censored the praise hanuman utterance?

Yes that was for the indian releases because they were afraid to insult them

Yeah.
Do you like fiction work?

I do.

Do you know who wrote the oldest example of a cyborg?

Yeah that was Edgar Allen Poe, what a guy

Yeah I know.
Even Caesar wrote fiction in his youth

Yes he wrote about Oedipus and Hercules

Yeah.

Did you know George Martin does not like fiction?

Yes he thinks it is a copyright infringement and a bad things for writers to take on

Yes interesting thought there though not sure I agree

Me either really.

Did you know a judge tried to ban a science fiction novel

Yes only because the character was black

Yeah that is so sad but I guess it was the 50s

True.

Did you know there is a page that lists characters based on their powers?

Yeah it is a wiki page with that list


Did you see the Black Panther movie that recently came out?

I did, I liked it a lot, I though it was a great movie with greece songs in it.

That is cool, I want to see it but haven't done so yet.

I heard it did really well too.

Its relatively a new movie, it came out on 2018 and its part of the Marvel Comics franchise.

Yeah and I heard in the Marvel world his is the riches superhero there is.

Yeah he is the owner of a whole city and his net worth is 5 times bigger than Tony Starks

Yeah that is crazy I know Tony has a ton of money!

Yeah, around 100 billion, mora than he can spend for sure and Bruce Wayne around 80 billion.

That is just way too much.

Did you know the character's name was briefly changed to black leopard?

I didnt know that!

Black Panther sounds a lot better though, the actor of the movie was sponsored by Denzel Washington, it seems like he couldnt afford going to acting school.

Yeah I think I read that somewhere about it, very interesting.

I think there will be more Black Panther films in the future based on how well it did.

Yeah hopefully there will, I loved the first movie, I want to see how things turn out after Infinity War, I was really happy when I first knew there was going to be a black panther movie, back in 2014

Yeah I don't think you are alone there.

I guess the symbols and written script in the movie were based on actual script dating back to the 4th century!

Thats really interesting, I might google it later, it would be crazy if Wakanda actually existed.

Yeah that would be, I think a college student did a project and made it out the Wakanda was.

Yeah I saw that video, it was really funny and the teacher actually believed it.

Yeah that was hilarious.

Speaking movies, are you a sci-fi movie fan?

I do like sci-fi movies, I love Star Wars and the Starship Troopes novel.

Yeah I always loved the Star Wars movies, I still have to see the last two that came out.

They are not as good as the old ones but still pretty decent movies, must watch if you have watched the others.


Hi!

Did you see the movie Black Panther?

I tried and could not finish it!

The throwback to the old "Black to the Future" phrase did not do it for me!

Lol yes I watched it I thought it was pretty good but I can see how you would think that.

It definitely dominated the pop culture scene and likely will continue to do so.

Yea, people loved it!

I wanted to give it a fair shot.

Maybe I will try and watch it again.

Marvel and Disney usually make good movies!

Yeah I agree.

The main actor Chadwick Boseman was invited to the summer theatre program at Oxford!

Wow!

I enjoy the Iron Man movies.

Crazy to think that Tony Stark and his 100 billion pales in comparison to black panther's 500(!)

billion!

Jeez that's a lot!

Dorothy Steel was a 91 year old actress who made her debut in Black Panther.

That is amazing!

I did not realize until recently Marvel was using the name black panther before the political party, the black panthers, existed.

Yeah I didn't know that either.

I wonder if Ryan Coogler, the director, ever though of giving it another title?

I am sure they weighed out the pros and cons.

I wonder where the black panther ranks on the wiki page that ranks fictional characters according to their abilities and power.

Yeah good question.

Marvel must have a lot of characters.

They once attempted to create their own independent studio.

I am surprised it did not work out.

It is good that a movie like black panther can become such a hit.

In the 1950s, a federal judge tried to actually ban a comic because it featured a black character.

Yeah how times have changed.

Fiction is definitely popular.

The worlds longest piece of fiction is 4 million words!

Crazy!

Fiction has always been important to the human race.

Even Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction!

Yeah that's a good point.

An ancient greek wrote a science-fiction story about aliens 1800 years ago!

That is amazing.

Even crazier than Edgar Allen Poe writing the oldest known example of cyborgs!

Yeah true.

Orson Scott is also popular as he won both the hugo and nebula awards for his books two years in a row!

Wow, good for him!

I have never really liked science fiction that much.

Interesting that Starship Troopers is recommended by three of the five US military branches!

Oh is it really?

Another good read may be Ride by Ray Bradburry because Epcot used it to make one of their rides!

Interesting, ill have to check it out!

I live in Florida so I go there a decent amount with my daughter.

It was nice speaking with you today!

Oh awesome!

Margaret Cavendish was a science fiction author and a proponent of women's rights!

Nice talking to you as well!

Good to know, thank you!
Take care!


Did you watch Ant-Man and the Wasp?

I have not seen it yet but I heard its a light comic book film that doesn't take itself seriously

Well its a great movie, I liked it , endearing and fun, some of the ratings are unfair but I believe its a good movie

Well it's been compared to Deadpool and Gurdian of the Galaxy which I liked and enjoy so I expect it's  a pretty funny movie

Yeah, all three great movies, you should really watch it if you liked Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy, I think Marvel Comics has done a great job with the movies

Yea and I really enjoy ant man's cast.
Paul Rudd is hilarious

He is hilarious, great actor, loved him since I watch him in the series Friends, and also Ryan Reynolds killed it with deadpool

Michael Pena as Luis is also hilarious, hope he is in Infinity War too

He is hilarious, I like when he tells stories, great touch to the movie

Yes the cast is awesome and Peyton Reed does a great job at directing it

I agree, he does a great job, you know that Ryan Reinolds is also the voice of the mystery villain of the movie

No, I had no clue, I will have to be on the lookout then

Deadpool described himself as Ryan Reinolds even before he was casted for the role, that was in 2004,

That's great casting.

It turns out James Cameron and David Fincher really like Deadpool's script

Its a nice script, in fact is the highest grossing r-rated film of all time that wasnt directed by either Cameron or Lucas

I never knew George Lucas directed a R rated movie, I will have to look that up

It seems that way, you know that the video game of the movie costed more than the movie itself!

That's crazy but I bet it isn't more expensive than Infinity War.

Infinity War was the first film completely shot with Imax digital cameras

Wow, I bet that will start a trend, more movies wil be filmed that way,

Hopefully, The Avengers do have a big influence like when the increased shawarma sales

That is a really cool fact, I guess its because of the ending scene of the movie, all heroes are in a shawarma place


Good morning!
Are you a fan of comic books?

I do like superheros but I cant say ive read many comic books.

I'm the same way.
Did you like the Deadpool movie?

I did!

He is my favorite superhero.

Its crazy that the video game cost more to make than the movie

It is.

I wonder if the video game ended up making more than the move?

In a 2004 comic book, Deadpool described himself as "Ryan Reynolds crossed with a shar-pei" which led Reynolds to believe he was destined to play the role.

He was certainly perfect for it.

He is likely the reason it was the highest grossing film not directed by Cameron or Lucas.

I agree.

Did you know that the voice of the mystery villain is also Ryan Reynolds?

I didn't.
I thought I recognized something there.
That explains it.
Did you see Infinity War?

I did!

It was the first film ever to be shot entirely with digital imax cameras.

Wow.

That is neat.

I missed it in theaters.

I heard it caused a notable increase in shawama sales.

Interesting.

I thought it was neat that in the movie the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy worked together to stop Thanos from amassing the all-powerful Infinity Stones.

The ending killed me.

The voice actor who played Jarvis (who also played in the Iron Man series) never was actually seen in the film.

I never noticed that.

Me neither

Did you know that the waitress Captain America saved is the voice behind Gretchen in Recess?

That is where I recognize that voice from.

How neat.

The oringinal hulk, Lou Ferrigno has voiced the hulk for decades.

Wow!
I didn't know he was still doing it.
Did you like the Ant Man and the Wasp?

I didnt see it.
Want to though

I enjoyed it.

It's good for a few laughs.

It only received a rating of 2.5 stars though.

really, i heard good things about it.

I didn't think it deserved that low of a rating.

It was nice chatting with you this morning.

Hope you have a good day!


Do you enjoy superhero movies?

Yea, I haven't caught Ant-Man and the wasp yet, I hear it's pretty funny and doesn't take itself seriously

Well marvel does a good job of injecting humor into its superhero movies and to me this is a plus

Yea, I'm interested to see how Lang and Luis running a security firm turns out, they were both great in the first ant-man

I mean scott lang has finished his house arrest so it seem like he is in for an adventure

Yea, I heard Paul Rudd wrote the script so it shouldn't dissapoint

Have you watched any other superhero films?

Yea I've seen most of the marvel movies, it's crazy how big and successful they've gotten since Disney purchased them in 2009

Did you enjoy deadpool 2?

Yea I found it pretty funny, I'm amazed that the Deadpool videogame cost more to make than the movie

Well it was the highest grossing r rated film of all time.

Of course not directed by cameron or lucas

That's strange, I didn't know George Lucas even directed an R rated movie or it was one of the highest grossing ones with that rating

Then did you enjoy infinity war?

yea I saw it a couple weeks after it was released 2018

It is funny how avengers caused a notable increase in shawarma sales

Yea I can see how Shawarma sales increased, I've never heard of it before the Avengers came out

True I only tried it once and it was decent, but not too memorable otherwise.

In any case it was a good movie and the first to entirely be shot with digital imax cameras

Yea, too bad jarvis' voice actor has never seen any of the Iron Man or Avengers movies

That is a shame.

If I voiced something in a movie, I would want to see my efforts

Yea, I wonder if Lou Ferrigno watched any of the movies where he voiced the Hulk

I mean considering he voiced the character for decades I certainly hope so.

In any case, it was a pleasure to talk to you about superhero movies.


So do you like Shakespeare?

I read that they coined or popularized many of the phrases we use today.

this is true.

He wrote many plays and was very popular.

Some of the phrases include "Good riddance, in my heart of hearts, laughing stock, and wild goose chase.

Those are all classics.
Did you know he died in 1616.

No I did not.

I read however that Pocahontas and him were both alive at the same time and died only a year apart.

Thats interesting.
Wonder if they ever met each other.

That would have been an interesting meet up.

I saw that Shakespeare invented the names Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia

thats ool.

My daughters name is Olivia and my sisters name is jessica.

Thanks shakespeare

I also just read that Polish composer Tchaikowsky donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company

Guess he wants it to be used in a play or something.

Yes He was hoping it would be used as a prop for The Skull of Yorick

I guess that would be one way to live on.

It actually ended up being used in a series of performances of Hamlet at the Courtyard Theater

I think hamlet is the more popular of the two anyways.

Yes, I'm sure.

They say that his works take on a different meaning when performed with an era-appropriate accent

I ould see that.

Play it for the time when he wrote it nd it makes more sense.

Makes sense to me.

So off subject but what do you think about the piano.

It was invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around 1700

I kind of wish I could play it.

Me too!

This is interesting on April 18, 1930 the BBC decided that there was no news worth reporting so they broadcast piano music instead

How many people never listened to that station again after that.

Lol.

yes, exactly it was an interesting choice.


Have you seen the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp?

I heard it was rated 2.5 stars

I have not actually.
did you?
are they any good?

I didn't see it.

I think that there are better movies out there like Deadpool which was so good!

I like deadpool too, ryan reynolds is so good in that

He is.

I am not sure how I feel about Paul Rudd as Ant man.

He just doesn't seem like a superhero to me.

Yeah that is interesting.

did you know deadpool described himself as ryan reynold crossed with a shar-pei?

No I had not heard that.

Did you know that the Deadpool video game cost more to make than the movie?

Crazy!

that is crazy.

yeah, and that was before ryan was even cast

Are you into comics?

I forgot that Disney acquired Marvel in 2009.

It seems like Disney has a piece of everything@!

they sure do.

apparently the voice of the mystery villain deadpool is ryan himself

I heard that.

Surprising.

One thing is that Disney doesn't own the rights to the "big" chararcters like avengers, x-men, spider-man due to a contract that Marvel signed with Universal Studios.

wow, that is amazing.

did you know sony had the chance to buy all the superero rights from marvel and passed on it?

Wasn't it something to do with them only wanting rights to Spiderman, thinking that movie audiences just cared about Spiderman.

That was a mistake.

yeah they got spiderman only for $10 million

Marvel also created a superhero called Blue Ear who wore hearing aids for a 4 year old boy who didn't like wearing his hearing aids.

He had told his mom that superheros don't wear hearing aids.

Well so Marvel created one!

Pretty cool.

that is so heart-warming.
good for them.
have you heard of Access?

No, what is it?

a superhero that keeps the universes of marvel and dc separate

Oh, for a second there I thought you meant to type the Avengers.

Who I have heard of.

I mean who doesn't like a movie with Robert Downey Jr., Chris Helmsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Cumberbatch?

yeah that is a great movie for sure.

it was the first movie to be shot with digital imax cameras entirely

I love digital imax movies.

Well It was nice talking to you.

Hope you get to see a good superhero movie soon.

This has made me want to go to the movies.

Same here, have a good one.


How's it going, have you read any Shakespeare?

It's kinda strange that no one know the exact date of his birth

hi how are you?

i wonder how good the birth records were back in those days.

Not too good, the best record they have for Shakespeare is his baptism in 1564

He lived a full life.

I wonder how many hours a day he wrote.

He was the most prolific writer ever, i imagine.

Yea Shakespeare did right a lot, 39 plays and 154 sonnets

Man, that is a lot of play writing.
two or three a year, i guess.
actors must have loved him.
steady work!

You know Shakespeare was an actor for a few years, I never knew that

I did not know that, but it makes sense.

i guess his experience shaped his thinking as a playwrite.

Yea, I never knew he had 3 children either and married a lady name Anne Hathaway, I wonder if the kids inherited anything after he passed

That is unlikely.
boy, that would be tough to be his kid.
a long shadow the father would cast.

Yea, Shakespeare did coin popular phrases like "good riddance" and "laughing stock"

And i bet audiences immediately understood the meaning of those phrases.

He could have gotten rich today coining slogans for advertising.

LOL

Shakespeare could of also trademark the names he invented like Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia

Those are classic names, and very popular in England.

I guess that those characters had distinct personalities as well.

Yea, it's crazy how Shakespeares writing takes on different meaning depending on the era-appropriate accent is used

I cant even imagine how many accents would be involved.

bewildering.

I guess that's the good thing about playing a piano, no accents.

Crazy it was invented all the way back in 1700

The piano has developed so much over the years.

a wonderful instrument.

universal.

Yea, it's pretty cool the same piano was used to record "Hey Jude" and "Bohemian Rhapsody"

I bet there is some magic in those keys.

Anyway, great chat!

You too, have a good one


Hello, how are you.
Are you a movie fan?
Have you seen Deadpool 2?

I watch movie once in a while.
YOu?

I am a huge movie/Marvel fan.

In Deadpool 2, there is a scene where Deadpool kills Ryan Reynolds (who plays Deadpool).

I have not watched the movie.

But I know that the deadpool videogame cost more to make than the deadpool the movie

Oh my god, Really???

That is crazy.

Deadpool has made more money than any other R rated movie, not directed by James Cameron or George Lucas.

I am a fan of George Lucas, and this fact really adds to my surprising

James Cameron who is friends with Tim Miller, who directed Deadpool, read the script and helped push the film on Fox executives.

Btw, do you know that the voice of the mystery villain in deadpool 2 is Ryan Reynolds

I had saw that somewhere.

Man, Sony screwed up big time.

In 1998, marvel offered the cinematic rights of almost all of its characters to sony for a mere $25 million.

sony rejected the offer, and only purchased the rights to spiderman for $10 million believing that movie audiences would only care about him.WHAT A MISTAKE

I concur.

I do not know what really happened to Sony.

Their business and reputation is almost gone on the market

Access is a character owned by Marvel and DC.

The characters sole purpose is to keep Marvel and DC universes seperate.

LOL

I know, it is hilarious.

By any chance, have you watched Avengers:  Infinity War.

It was very good

I have seen it like 10 times.

This is funny!

Marvel had a court battle and successfully argued that toys" instead of the higher rate for dolls because they are not human.

Wow, you watched it 10 times.

You must like it a lot.

Did you know that the Avengers:  infinity war is the first fim ever to be shot entirely with digital imax cameras

I think I read that somewhere.

I read a very good story awhile back.

Marvel made up a superhero called Blue Ear solely for a 4 year old boy who didn't like wearing his hearing aids

I think this fact is very believable.
And it is a cute story also.

That made me like Marvel even better.

I also think it's funny that Shawarma sales went up after the Avengers movie

Do you think it was a coincidence or were they somehow related

It was all due to the show.

The actor who voices Jarvis Has never actually been seen in the films.

Got it.

Also, did you know that Deadpool described himself as "ryan reynolds crossed with a shar-pei in a 2004 comic book series,which led to the fact that reynold believed he was destined for the role

Well, it has been great chatting.
Merry Christmas.


Did you study Shakespeare in school?

No, I did no.
Did you?

I remember Romeo and Juliet plays.

He actually invented the names, Jessica, Miranda, and Olivia.

That's cool!

Yeah, did you ever watch the movie Pocahontas?

Sure did.

I read they were both alive at the same time and died within a year of each other.

Yeah, I found that out recently.

I never knew Pocahontas was a real person.

Really?

Yeah, I had no idea.

I'm not sure who this is but, a polish composer Andre Tchaikowsky donated his skull to Shakespeare.

Andre hoped he would use it as a prop.

It got used in a series of performances of Hamlet at the Courtyard Theatre.

Well, that is awesome, I guess he did get what he wanted.

I guess?

They say Shakespeare's works take on a different meaning when performed with an era appropriate accent instead of a modern one.

I think I'd like to watch and listen to one.

I would too.
I wonder if he could play piano?

He may have, he seemed very talented.
Can you play piano?

Not at all, I liked to think I could as a child though.

Can you?

Actually, I trained for 13 years and I'm pretty good at it.

I read somewhere that the BBC decided that there was no news worth reporting on April 18.1930, so they played piano music instead.

I wish America's media would take that cue some days.

Oh wow, that is awesome.

I believe I read this somewhere.

A group of climbers, climbed the tallest mountain in Britain and there was a piano on the top!

I wonder how it got there?
Very interesting.

I have no idea, do you think it worked still?

Probably not, pianos are very fickle instruments.

Lol

I'm sure you know who Freddie Mercury is.

He used the same piano as Paul Mccartney to record bohemian rhapsody.

That's cool.

Well, it's been nice chatting, I have to go now.

I'll talk to you later, friend.


Are you a fan of any forms of art?

Yes!

I enjoy art in the form of music.

I especially enjoy the tune of the piano.

What about you?

I love piano music, and music in general.

I actually played piano when I was a kid.

Do you play any instruments?

Oh wow, what age did you start and do you still play?

No I do not play any instruments, I wished I played the guitar.

I started when I was six and played until I was seventeen, but then we moved and I had to give up my piano.

Haven't played since, sadly, but I loved it.

Maybe you should try guitar!

Oh no!

That's terrible!

Piano sounds are beautiful, what made you start learning the instrument?

I have given the guitar a few tries, but without the foundation of music, it is so difficult to play.

I admire those self-taught people.

It was actually my mom's idea - she wanted us all to learn an instrument, so she bought us a piano and some books and taught us at home.

I know what you mean about not having a foundation of music.

I felt so clumsy and clueless starting out.

Wow!

I really want my kids to play an instrument and would love them to learn the piano, were you apprehensive to it at first?

I don't want to force my kids but when I hear about the statistics of the benefits classical music, I really want my kids to learn it.

It wasn't really intimidating since I started so young.

It was just another thing to learn, like math or English, and it was fun too.

What kid doesn't like making noise?

It also helped that my mom let me play on my own in between instructional periods.

Great insight!

That's very true, what scares me is asking these kids to sit and focus their attention on it.

Thanks for the info!

I can't believe that there is a piano at the top of Britain's highest mountain!

Would the keys still function if it snowed?

As long as the piano stays closed so snow doesn't clog the chords inside, it probably would play just fine.

Unless it's an electric piano.

Then I think snow might cause some electrical issues!

Oh wow!

That's super neat.

Do you enjoy poetry?

So many people speculated about Shakespeare's sexuality, whatever it was, he wrote some great pieces.

I love poetry.

I've read some of Shakespeare's sonnets (and his plays!

), and they have such creative, lyrical beauty.

I didn't know there was speculation about his sexuality, just that he was married to Anne Hathaway.

I wondered if the celebrity Anne Hathaway's name is inspired from that.

I had no idea Pocahontas and Shakespeare were alive at the same time!

They would've seemed to live in different eras to me.

Pocahontas and Shakespeare being contemporaries is surprising to think about.

I had the same surprised reaction to finding out Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr. were born in the same year.

Yeah!

What?!

That's crazy!

Is there a particular piece of work you enjoy of Shakespeare's?

My favorite play of his is Hamlet, with Macbeth a close runner-up.

I can't say I have a favorite sonnet, though.

Each has its unique appeal.

Do you have a favorite?

Yeah, those are really good ones.

I don't typically have a favorite but enjoyed each one of them.

I also find it interesting that he invented the names Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia, those are really common names nowadays!

Olivia is one of the names my brother and his wife are considering using for their new baby if it ends up being a girl.

I'll have to tell my brother he has Shakespeare to thank!

That's wonderful!

All the Olivia's I have known in my life are stunning and gorgeous!

It really matches the name!

What type of name is in the name bank if it is a boy?

My brother wants to name it after him, but my sister-in-law prefers Jackson.

I like her idea better!


Hi

Hi!

How are you?

Have you seen the new Deadpool sequel yet?

I hear its amazing.

No I haven't been able to see it yet.

The first one was great, but I haven't been able to see the second yet.

I'm not usually so into super hero stuff.

But there are so many great movies coming out, I can't help It.

Have you seen Infinity War?

Its the first film to ever be shot entirely with imax cameras!

I haven't yet.

I bet that's pretty intense.

There are a ton of actors in it; almost too much to follow.

I guess that's why they needed the Imax cameras, huh?

I guess so, I guess the voice actor that plays Iron Man has never ever seen the movies.

Actually, the character Jarvis hasn't been in the films.

But that's a bit of a fib because Jarvis becomes Vision and is played by the same actor, Paul Bettany

That's interesting, thanks for clearing that up.

Did you know that Disney isn't allowed to show big marvel characters east of the Mississippi due to a contract they signed?

It's kind of funny how the ownership of the Marvel properties works.

Sony still owns Spiderman so he only shows up if Sony let's Disney have him.

This is why his appearances in Iron Man and Avengers are really short.

That's so weird.

They created a character called Blue Ear for a little boy who was afraid to wear his hearing aids and told his mom "But Super heroes don't wear hearing aids."

So Marvel made one that did.

So sweet.

Yeah, overall they really care about their fans.

And there are a lot of them at this point.

Did you know there are over 19 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

And more every year!

I had no idea.

I didn't even realize there were so many characters until not too long ago.

I didn't watch or read comic books when I was a kid, so I was only familiar with Superman and Batman.

I had never heard of Deadpool, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, or any of those guys.

I bet Sony wishes they had taken Marvel up on their offer to buy them out for 25 million.

I think SOny thought people would only care about Spiderman.

I think at the time, they were right.

the mcu didn't really take off until Iron Man in 2008.

Still, I bet someone at Sony got yelled at for that one.

What's the deal with that character Access?

I head that he is owned by both companies and his job is solely to make sure that the two companies' universes separate?

I don't know, but its too bad we couldn't see a DC/Marvel cross over.

Superman meets the Avengers?

Sign me up.

I bet that would be fun.

My husband and son would love it if they did that.

I guess Marvel argued successfully in court that mutants were not people, and so they got to pay the lower rate on X-Men toys instead of the higher rate for dolls.

SO much interesting trivia.

That's kind of ironic considering much of the X-Men story is about how mutants are the same as humans and deserve equality.

Ha, that is ironic.

I was thinking that that might send a weird message to their child fans.

I think people overthink what children might think.

However, I think there are certain characters that just are not for kids.

Like Deadpool.

The merc with a mouth.

It was really a good thing they rate it R.

That's what husband said.

I guess the first one was the highest grossing R rated feature of all time after The Passion of the Christ.

My husband said it definitely wasn't a kids movie.

I heard 2 takes it even further with the crudeness.

I enjoyed the first one, it definitely didn't hold back, but it also didn't feel forced.

Just felt like this is the character and this is the life he leads which is full of sex, violence, and swearing.

I used to think that kind of thing was funny, but now that I'm getting older it seems very distasteful to me.

I guess I probably just don't want my kid saying stuff like that.

I thought SuperHeroes were supposed to be for kids.

Although, I guess maybe the movies are for the people that USED to be kids.

Maybe that is the appeal of someone like Deadpool.

He's a superhero, but he's not for kids.

They are probably trying to capture a whole new audience that doesn't include kids.

That makes more sense.

Kids don't have any money, you have to get the parents roped back in if you want them to buy the kids all the expensive toys and movies and stuff.

Unless they're mutant toys, because those are cheaper.

They also have been doing on so long that they have a nice audience of young adults who grew up with all the Marvel movies that they can now afford to buy a lot of useless "toys" themselves.

Yup.

My husband has a bigger collection of SUperhero stuff than he probably ever did when he was a kid.

They must make SO much off of merchandise alone.

Their licensing department really went crazy.

But people buy it so maybe not.

I read the Avengers caused a notable increase in Shawarma sales, why would that be, do you know?

I think they make a big point of eating it at some point.

It really shows how big of an impact the MCU has, huh?

It really does, lol

I don't think you get to be almost 20 films strong and not have at least some influence on society.

No, I don't suppose you do.

People are so into the shows and movies they watch these days.

Its kind of crazy.


Hello, do you watch marvel movies?

I do.

I've pretty much seen them all and I consider myself a fan.

You?

I have watched most of them.
Which one is your favorite?

I would have to say Thor.

I think they cast it perfectly with Chris Hemsworth too.

What's your favorite?

I also enjoy thor altough I really did like infinity war.

Did you know that Ant man made his debut before spiderman, thor and even hulk?

I've heard that.

Did you see Ant Man - interesting to see Paul Rudd as a super hero lol

Agreed.

The infinity gauntlet was originally on thor's left hand in the comics but was originally right handed.

Did you see the first Infinity Wars movie?

I have, I really enjoyed it.

It was nice to see all of the marvel characters come together.

Have you?

I did.

Since half of them disappeared, how do you think it's going to end?

I have a feeling Ant-Man is involved.

Yeah, ant man was shown with a machine in the trailer.

I believe that they are going to travel back in time to fix their mistakes.

That would be pretty cool.

I wonder if Captain Marvel will figure in.

What do you think?

Possibly.

I have recently watched that movie as well, a great addition to the marvel universe.

Oh really already?

That just came out Friday right?!

I haven't had the chance yet but want to.

Yeah, I booked some tickets and went to watch it yesterday.

Don't worry, I will not spoil anything.

Haha okay.

You can spoil one thing though, were any other characters from the Marvel Universe in it?

Well, I do not have the exact number but there were at least two.

Which two?
!

Iron man (briefly) and hulk

That's awesome.

I can't wait to see it.

Crazy how Disney owns Marvel Entertainment now.

Except in theme parks lol

Haha, yep.
Anyways, thank  you for your time!
It was nice chatting with you!

Thank you as well.
Have a great night!

You too!


Hi!

Are you current with all the marvel movies?

Some of them.

I loved Thor Ragnarok and Black Panther, but some of them are a little dull.

What about you?

I am way behind.

I haven't even seen Iron Man 2 yet, although I did watch the first thor movie...

I am interested in watching them, but once yo fall behind, the numbers mount quickly!

And they're all connected!

I read an article pointing out the plot points that culminated in Avengers: Infinity War and it  blew my mind.

That one has quite a cast of impressive actors.

I'd never imagined Idris Elba and Paul Bettany in superhero movies, but the MCU is a whole different beast.

I would agree totally.

There have been like 19 MCU movies in the last ten years... That's two per year!

I have friends that have watched them all.

I can't imagine having the time to do that!

The fact that they're now releasing them so quickly and close together really keeps the excitement up.

The last 3 movies that came out did better than previous titles,  and I wonder if they're going to keep doing that- just to keep ticket sales booming.

As long as there are sure-fire $ to be made, Hollywood will invest.

And with the noticeable trend that pushing through one great story after another yields steady revenues, I think I will stay far behind...

Do watch Thor: Ragnarok.

It's so much fun.

It's a different tone than most super hero movies, because the director, Taika Waititi let the cast improvise.

It's very loose and enormously fun.

That sounds great!

Was Ragnorok the second or third in the Thor series?

It was the second.

I think.

I might be wrong, but it's definitely the most memorable one for me.

I do enjoy Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

Can you imagine if he would have been cast as Thor?

I can't get my head around that.

After  watching the first thor ovie (2011) I cannot imagine Loki and Thor any different than who played them.

What else can you tell me about this?about

Well, in thinking about it, Ragnarok was the third movie in the Thor series.

I had forgotten the second one entirely!

Hiddleston put on 50 pounds of muscle to play Thor, and I would like to see what that looks like on him.

Apparently he screen tested, so it's got to be on the internet somewhere!

Really?
What is the Infinity Gauntlet?

It's the glove-like thing that Thanos collects the infinity stones into.

The stones are hidden all around the universe and once he has them, he can wreak havoc on mankind.

They're sort of hidden in all of the MCU movies, in one way or another.

Bizarre, but interesting!

I remember watching all the X-men movies, and really connecting with the humanity of the mutant characters.

Is then shocked me when I learned that Marvel successfully argued in court that mutants are not people in order to reduce cost of producing X-men toys.

Seems ironic!

Right?!

It's kind of anti-Xmen, because they are people!

I'd love to have a great X Men movie sometime.

I'd love it if they were added to the MCU, because there are some excellent Xmen characters.

It's weird that in Orlando, there are lots of Marvel characters at Disney World, but some of them are only at Universal Studios.

Yeah, strange to have "rights" to imaginary figures... Maybe that is one reason why SOny balked at the chance to buy cinematic rights to most of the Marvel characters for a mere $25 mil.

They have to be kicking themselves!

And then they spent $10 million only on Spiderman?!

There are such good stories to be told that are already written in the comics!

Yeah.

So many characters and so many stories, it is not surprising that the Marvel and DC created a character, Access, that straddles the two reality to help them to keep track of and keep separate the two universes.

If they need help keeping this stuff straight, I have't got a chance!

I remember when he was created- they did a crossover between Marvel and DC.

It was a clever idea.

I know I'd watch a movie about BlueEar, the superhero who wears hearing aids.

Yeah.

I would even watch a movie about Jarvis!

You know, the actor who voiced the Jarvis role in Iron Man and Infinity Wars has never seen the films.

Maybe I can get him to take me and we can catch up on these films together?

Nice chatting with you!


Hi, have you seen the movie "Black Panther, If yes, did you like it?

I did enjoy the film, although not as much as Avengers: Infinity War with its record breaking opening.

I didn't like it as much either, do you know how Black Panther is partly responsible for success of Avengers: Infinity War?

Hard to say for sure, but opening 10 weeks prior may have helped the big film's succeed.

Did you know Avengers: Infinity War made more money than Star Wars?

I heard that!
$250 million is a lot of money!

Yes, have you seen Iron Man, if yes did you like it?

Yes.

Even after ten years it holds up quite well!

That's true, I even like the actor in Iron Man as much as the movie itself.

He is one of my favorite actor.

Do you know the name of the company that published Iron Man comics?

No, I am not sure, do you know or have any idea?

I knew the artist I think, because I like drawing cartoons.

I believe it was Marvel Comics Group, since they talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Do you have a favorite comic hero, if yes, who is your favorite?

I like the X-men because they are mutants, not people.

I like X-men also with so many different powers, but my favorite is The Incredible Hulk.

Did you know Ant man came before Thor, Hulk and Spider-man!

What do you mean, that Ant man made more money?

I saw Ant man I like it.

I was surprise at first, but the movie was really good.

No, the character was created before the others.

Interesting given the role of Thor in the Avengers.

Oh really, I didn't know that.
I need to follow comics more closely.

Everyone should!

The avengers movie even resulted in an increase in shawarma sales due to the brief scene!

Back to Black Panther, I was really surprised the many awards this movie won.

Surely something no one would have seen when Marvel started in 1939!

That's true, did you know in 1961 the Fantastic four was created?

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko were geniuses in their own way!

Thanks for the chat.


Have you seen Thor?

hi how are you?
i have not seen thor?

I've seen it.

The first one is good, the second one, not so much.

I dont really like the superhero films.

too many explosions, too many battle scenes.

it gets old.

Yeah, they get old really quick.

I'm in the same camp.

I did like how the Batmans with Bale were done though.

What about you?

I did like Bale's batman.

and i also like Spider-man 2. more story, less CG stuff.

Yeah, they were good.

I think it is mostly the Marvel films that are getting old.

Yeah, i think that a bunch are slated to come out over the next few years.

I will take a pass.

Me too.
I got tired after Ironman 2.

I think that the storylines get played out and there isnt enough to keep it going.

they use sfx to pad out the plot.

Exactly.

They also need to stop remaking old films.

Yeah, that is a tired way to fill up a slate.

i did like the remake of a star is born, but usually i dont like remakes.

Interesting.

I didn't see that one.

The remake of Total Recall was so terrible.

LOL

Total Recall?
why would you remake that?
Also robocop.
no need for a remake.

They put Collin Farrel in it.
It was freaking terrible.
Same with the Robocop remake.

I guess if they make enough money on it, it is worth it.

there is also the aftermarket, the streaming, the TV viewing.

Oy.

Yeah, that is true.

It seems like Marvel is the worst at it though.

Marvel was bought by disney, i believe.

they are milking for everything they can.

kids will watch anything it seems.

Yeah, that they will.
My nephew watches Peppa the Pig.
Mindless nonsense.
LOL.
Well nice chatting with you!

Yes, i enjoyed chatting!
Time to watch mindless nonsense.

Take it easy!


Hello do you like Black Panther?

Great movie.
Saw it twice in theatres.
It made a whole bunch of money

Nice,  yes I recently watched it again since I found it on netflix,  great movie.

Did you know Black Panther is the wealthiest super hero?

Well he does lead Wakanda, which is rich as could be, so it makes sense

Yeah he owns a country lol

There are lots of rich marvel comics characters though.

Iron man has a lot of money, and the X-men live in a mansion.

Yeah thats true.

Looks like a lot of them just inherited the money

And now the actors that play the characters are getting rich.

Marvel movies make serious box office cash

I know right.
Have you seen infinity war?

I have.
It was also great.
Josh Brolin did a great job as Thanos.

Yeah he does a good bad guy you want to hate lol I think the next one comes out next month

I know.

It is hard to believe marvel almost sold the movie rights to all its characters back in the 1990s.

Yeah I know right.

Did you know the avengers caused a spike in shawarma sales lol

I remember seeing avengers and wanting to try shawarma afterwards.

Still haven't tried it

Me either lol the guy who voiced Jarvis has never seen any of the movies lol

He does not need to watch the movies to cash the check I guess

true,  yeah hes on vacation when they are in theatres lol

I think my favorite Marvel film was Thor Ragnarok.

It was very fun and improvised.

That movie was freaking hilarious!

i think it was definitely the best out of the thor series!

I still really like the first avengers movie out of all the marvel ones,  thor ragnarok is my second favorite,  I think ant man would be my third.

I do like that they are able to have a good amount of comedy in those films.

Tom Hiddleston does a great Loki

He is so perfect for that role.

To think he auditioned for Thors role first.

Yeah, he put on 50 pounds of muscle for nothing.

Been good chatting with you


Are you into the marvel comics

I love them yeah, my favorite hero is Iron Man do you have a favorite one?

Iron man for sure.

Growing up he was awesome then watching the first movie really set the tone.

Yeah Robert Downey Jr, was the man for the role, he really made the franchise popular, he's a great actor.

for sure.

I like marvel, they even create superheros for a kid who was deaf, blue ear

Havent heard of that hero before but its a great thing to do, helping a kid and his family out like that.

I agree.

did you hear in 1998 marvel offered the rights to its characters for movies and they declined

Who declined them?

I bet they are regretting that decision big time by now each hero is worth hundreds of millions.

Sony did for 25 million dollars.

They could have made so much money!

I think Black Panther alone made 1 billion dollars

Yeah and then theres also Thor that movie made a lot of money as well.

Do you like Tom Hiddleston, the actor that playes the role of Loki?

Yea he was good.

I didn't like the first 2 thors, but ragnorak was awesome!

Do you like him

I liked them all but I agree Ragnarok is the best so fast, so funny I like how the Hulk was in it as well.

For sure, that what one of my favorite parts lol.

Did you know ant man made his debut before the big characters did

I didnt know that Ant Man is another great hero, did you watch Infinity War?

I loved that movie, crazy what happened at the end.

Do you think they will all come back in End Game?

I think they will, at least Spiderman since theres another movie planed for this same year.

Do you know who Jarvis is?

I know Jarvis, I think he was played by Paul Bettany

Yeah well Paul Bettany has never seen the films, how crazy is that, he's a big icon of the saga and hasnt bothered to watch his own work in action.

wow, how do you not see yourself lol.

I would watch a movie I was in like 100 times!

Doesn't he play Vision in infinity war also?

He does play vision yeah and I would watch it as well specially if it was a great series like the Avengers, those movies will be popular years to come.

right!
It was so nice chatting with you.
Enjoy your night!


Have you watched Avengers Infinity War?

No, is it any good?

I haven't watched it either but I heard it is a really good one.

The female characters have developed in this movie as well.

Interesting, who is the voice actor?

I'm not really sure but there are fight scenes where there are women characters only.

Seems different than other Marvel stuff.

Yeah, seems pretty cool.
have you seen the film Thor?

I think I have, a long time ago.

Thor got stripped of his powers, and Thr had to prove he was working.

Yeah, I saw it.

I thought it was ok. Did you know the spaceships were named after classic australian holden cars?

Sorry, meant worthy, not working.

Guess I'm more tired than I thought.

I liked Ant Man.

Apparently Ant Man made his Marvel debut before Thor and some other characers.

Ant Man is interesting.
Did you like Thor 2?

I don't think I knew there was a Thor 2.

These movies come out faster than I can keep up with them.

Yeah, they come out a lot.
Pretty crazy huh?
I saw it, not as good as the first one.

Tom Hidleston was screen tested for the role of Thor.

He gained 50 pounds of muscle for the role.

But they decided he would be better for Loki in Avengers.

Interesting.

What about the incredible hulk, did you see that one?

I can't remember, was there a movie?

I feel like I used to watch a Hulk series when I was a kid.

yeah, I used to too.

I saw the one with Edward Norton, horrid.

I want to see Infinity War because it was the first film to be shot entirely with digital imax cameras.

Wow, that would be pretty cool.

Do you have to see it in an imax though?

Hmm, not sure about that.

I haven't even watched Avengers Age of Ultron.

Lou Ferrino who played hulk in the 1970s series, had voiced the character up till that movie.

Yes, I remember Lou Ferringo.

Apparently Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel Comics.

And Sony turned down an offer to buy the characters.

I'm in the mood to watch a movie now.

Catch you later!


Do you like comic books like Thor or the Avengers?

I'm not big on comic books but I like Marvel movies though.

Did you know that in 1998 Marvel offered film rights to Sony for almost its entirely library but Sony only took Spider-Man thinking that it'd be the only character audiences would like?

Pretty short-sighted of Sony.

It's great the Marvel created a superhero named Blue Ear to help a child get used to hearing aids.

I want a movie about Access - that superhero is meant just to keep DC & Marvel Universes separate!

Is that superhero a lawyer?

Did you know Ant Man made his marvel debut before Spiderman, Hulk, Thor and Iron-man?

No way.

Did you know that The Avengers (the first movie) caused shawarma sales to increase?

No, I didn't.

Did you know Hugin and Munin, Odin's ravens, appear during Thor and Loki's argument on the mountain?

I didn't even know they had names.

As a film buff though it's neat to know that Infinity War was the first film ever to be shot entirely with digital IMAX Camras.

Interesting.

Also interesting: the voice actor who played Jarvis in Iron Man and the Avengers never actually has seen the films?

Well the waitress Captain America saves in Avengers 1 voiced Gretchen in the cartoon Recess.

Did you grow up with that show as a kid?

Nope.

Did you know 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron was the 19th film in the MCU?

I've lost count at this point.

I do know that Thor Ragnarok's dialogue was 80% improvised.

That's commendable.

I wonder how many takes that took.

I didn't know DC and Marvel co-owned "Access"

Like I said, I'd love a movie about him but given the rivalry between DC and Marvel I'm not so sure that will happen.

Yeah.

I didn't realize Paramount distributed films produced by Marvel Studios.

Paramount stopped distribution when Disney acquired Marvel in 2009.

Disney bought Paramount out.

Disney has really changed through the years.

I wonder what Walt would think?

I wonder what the founders of Marvel would think for that matter.

They started in 1939 as Timely Publications.

Wow, that's a long time ago.

I don't think it was until 1961 they became known as Marvel Comics.

I used to like the Fantastic 4 when I was a kid.

I guess those superheros were created by many people (e.g., Jack Kirby and Stan Lee).

I'll leave you with this: Lou Ferrigno, who played the hulk in the original 1970s series, still voices the character today!

Good for him!

That's a long time.

Thanks for the chat, you were excellent!


Avengers Infinity War was a great movie, I really loved that film

Yes, Lou Ferrigno has been voicing the hulk for decades.

Do you like Marvel Comics?

I love Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios is leaving a legacy behing, great villains such as Thanos and great heros like Steve Rogers, Stark

I know, Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment.

But, Disney does not own rights to Big, X-men, Spider-man.

Yeah i guess those characters are too expensive to buy but I think eventually they will buy the whole franchise

Probably, Its interesting the voice actor who played Jarvis in Iron Man series and Avengers has not seen the films.

Thats funny just like how The Avengers caused an increase in shawarma sales.

I really want to see the Movie, "Blue Ear"  A 4 year old that had earring issues.

I did hear about that I think that is great that Marvel created a hero just to help out that kid and his mom, maybe Blue Ear can be in a Thor movie

That would be great!

I know, so cute, the boy told his mom, "superheroes don't wear hearing aids."

Yeah it is cure so do you also like Thor, have you seen his films?

Yes, I do!

I didn't know Ant man made his debut before Spider-man, Hulk Thor and Iron-man.

Really?

I guess Ant Man wasnt popular back then,  I love Loki, his a great villain/hero/trickmaster

Agree, Wow, Tom Hiddeston gain 50 pounds of muscle for the film.

I think he nailed the role of Loki, he was considered for the role of Thor at first, did you watch Thor Ragnarok?

Yeah, interesting about the infinity gauntlet during the movie being right-handed, in the comics its left-handed.

That is funny,, the film had a great director, Thor was directed by Kenneth Branagh, I think he made a great job directing the film

I do too!
Thor had so many good actors in it.
Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorites.

Anthony Hopkins was Odin right?

too bad he died in one of the movies, I thiink it was the Ragnarok film

Sony rejected the 25 million offer for Marvels cinematic rights in 1998.

Good chat!

I bet they are regretting that decision by now,


The movie Thor was very good.

Did you know that Tom Hiddleston tried out for the role of Thor?

I didn't know that until I read the information about the movie just now.

It's very interesting though!

I try to imagine him as Thor.
I guess it could work.
Have you seen the movie?

Yes, I have seen the movie.
but I could not imagine him as Thor.
I like him much better as Loki.
Have you seen the movie?

I have and i agree.

He makes a very good Loki.

Did you know some of the dialogue was improvised?

I did not know that until I read the facts.

I like that they did that, because I like when the real actors are more involved with a movie.

But they did mess up with the infinity gauntlet being right handed instead of left handed.

I can't remember what that is.

The infinity gauntlet was what Thanos wore on his hand in the movie.

Like a golden glove.

Do you like Marvel or DC better?

I like Marvel better.

I have seen one or two of the Avengers movies.

Iron Man is great!

You?

Oh yes, Marvel is much better!

I love all the Marvel characters and their stories.

I've seen pretty much all the Marvel movies.

My all time favorite is Thor though!

I didn't know that Disney cannot show the the big marvel characters in their parks.

Did you?

Not until now.

It seems like an odd contract to sign that they can't show them east of the Mississippi.

Yes, very weird.

I'm surprised they haven't paid enough money to Marvel to be allowed to show the big Marvel characters.

What is more surprising is the fact that the cinema rejected the offer of marvel's characters except for spider man.

Guess they didn't know how much a hit all the marvel stories would be.

True.

I bet they are kicking themselves now!

Did you know about the character, Access?

I never heard of that before!

Yes, for sure kicking themselves now.

A lot of money lost on that decision.

No, I haven't heard of Access either.

I want to learn more though for sure!

Isn't it neat that Marvel made a superhero for a boy who had to wear hearing aids?

That's so cool of Marvel.

It is and it gives me more respect for Stan Lee which probably had a hand in it.

I would like to know, though, how Marvel was able to argue that x-men are not human?

Yes, for sure!

They are mostly human but just with mutant genes.

Guess since they are different they found a loophole to avoid paying the higher rates

Who knew there was a loophole for fictional characters!

Haha, for sure!

I guess people can become very creative when it comes to different ways avoiding to pay more money.

I think it's so cool that Avengers infinity war was shot entirely with digital imax cameras.

So cool!

That is cool!

It was the first one ever to be shot that way too!

Yes, that is true!

Makes me wonder if future Marvel movies will be shot with entirely with digital imax cameras now since that one did so well.

They probably will.


Did you ever read comics?

I have read some.

Mostly online.

I was never a Marvel fan until the movies came out though.

Unless it was someone big like Spiderman.

It amazing how release times of movies can affect each other.

Spiderman is very popular.
The rights cost Sony $10 mill

They seem like a company who should make that much.

They created a superhero for a 4 year old boy, just so he would be more comfortable about his hearing aids.

Isn't that a great thing to do.
I love that.

It is, the hero's name was Blue Ear.

I wonder what his powers were?

Michael Jackson wanted to play Spiderman.

Michael seemed to want to be a lot of things.

Isn't that the truth.

He tried to buy Marvel in the 1990's, just so he could produce and star in Spiderman.

He was an add one.

At least Marvel is smart and it didn't happen.

They're really smart for trademarking "super-hero" and "super-villain."

He could have had some unusual moves.
LOL

The ability to moon walk!

Or to lean way back or forward.
LOL

Crazy.

Good thing they avoided him though, because they went on to make movies like Thor, Avengers, and Black Panther.

I drew a portrait of Thor even though I have never watched the movie.

It's a great movie, just like Infinity War.

Have you seen Infinity War?

No.

I usually watch comedy or romantic movies.

It was fantastic.

The end left you guessing though.

Some people say Infinity War owes part of it's success to Black Panther.

I will make a point of watching it soon.

Apparently, there is a correlation in the success of Marvel movies and how spaced out they are each release.

That's interesting.

That is interesting.
It was great chatting with you.
Hope you have a great day.

They tend to be more successful.
Well, at least have the same success.
It's been a pleasure chatting with you.
Have a fine day.

True, they build upon each other probably.
