So apparently, they've done a movie about the song "I Can Only Imagine."

They made a movie about a song.

I guess I'm a hypocrite . . . I actually forgot I did a webcomic about a song years ago. . . .

It's amazing to see Black Panther be the 1st Marvel film to stay at #1 for the 4th week in a row and take home over a billion dollars in the domestic market alone.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief as Sherlock Gnomes failed to top Gnomeo & Juliet's opening, ranking at 4th place overall. Pacific Rim 2 was the film to beat Black Panther, killing off its reign after 5 weekends in a row.

Ready Player One topped Easter weekend (fitting since it's a movie about an Easter egg hunt), while Tyler Perry's Acrimony (a non-Madea movie from him for a change) was 2nd place, with Black Panther rounding out the 3rd.

Last week's number 1 hit Pacific Rim Uprising fell to 5th this week, while Sherlock Gnomes dropped from 4th to 6th.

This . . . is the first time that I heard of READY PLAYER ONE. . . .

I'm going to read the book before I watch the Speilberg movie. I've heard the book is really good.

Speaking of Spielberg, he's apparently wanting to reboot Indiana Jones, but gender-swapping the character to female and renaming her Indiana Joan.
