/Film Batwoman series in development at CW. It's another one of those Berlanti superhero shows. I enjoyed The Flash for a time but I really wish if we're going to have this many shows that there would be some differentiation of producing teams so that there wouldn't be so much homogeny with point of view.

TIFF pays tribute to Bollywood superstar Sridevi who died last week at only 54. Interesting piece about the struggle to convey her importance to international audiences who don't have the context for it -- and the difficulty of trying to explain it through comparable Hollywood stars. (Note: I fundamentally disagree with the characterization that Meryl Streep wasn't mainstream popular until 2006. Meryl Streep was in massive hits in the first decade of her career. It was only the 20 years between Out of Africa (her last "blockbuster" success from the early part of her career) and Devil Wears Prada (the blockbuster that won her a whole new legion of fans) that convinced her that she was previously only "the most acclaimed actress" rather than a "movie star" proper.
Oh and here's the new teaser poster to Aquaman in case you missed it.
