Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending and the post-credits scenes, for “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” currently playing in theaters.
While improvising in a meticulously crafted Marvel movie — full of CGI, green screens and elaborate costumes — seems nearly impossible, Paul Rudd and Jonathan Majors did just that “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” According to editors Adam Gerstel and Laura Jennings, Rudd, who plays Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and Majors, who plays the MCU’s new Thanos-sized villain Kang the Conquerer, especially exercised their improv muscles during two similar scenes — one which features a multiplied Ant-Man and another, an army of Kangs.
Gerstel says the scene where Lang replicates and faces hoards of his multiple selves was a technical shoot that required the entire sequence to be pre-visualized to understand the story. The concept was to “showcase Paul’s comedic talents and riff off of that,” wondering...

This post contains spoilers for "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania."
The bulk of Peyton Reed's new film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" -- the 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- takes place in a microscopic fantasy dimension called the Quantum Realm. Said realm is populated by all manner of strange species and non-humanoid creatures who, in true MCU fashion, speak in a flip, jokey jargon now very familiar to the franchise's many fans. Despite being impossibly small, the Quantum Realm possesses common Earth-like gravity, and perhaps galling breathable oxygen. Reed's first "Ant-Man" film from 2015 very clearly noted that its title hero must wear a helmet when he shrinks or grows, as his lungs would not be able to absorb air molecules of a different size. If one can shrink so small that one can ride on top of an oxygen atom, one cannot very well breathe it.

New York, Feb 27 (Ians) Researchers have discovered a slimy strategy used by bacteria to defeat antibiotics and other drugs used to combat infections afflicting people with cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits a person's ability to breathe over time.
A common strain of bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often thrives in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis, as well as in wounds from burns or diabetic ulcers.
Once a P. aeruginosa infection is established, it can be incredibly difficult to cure, despite repeated courses of antibiotics, said the researchers, including Laura Jennings, from the University of Montana.
The research, published in the journal Cell Reports, showed that the stubborn germs living in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients create a self-produced carbohydrate slime.
And this slime makes the bacteria more resistant to the antibiotics prescribed by doctors, as well as drugs that reduce the thickness of mucus.

Exclusive: Iconic Talent Agency, which specializes in repping craft talent in film and TV, has taken the wraps off Iconic Editorial, a new subsidiary that will provide the company’s roster of editors access to commercial and branded entertainment projects.
The idea came from Ita founder and ex-wme partner Devin Mann amid the current coronvirus pandemic, which saw commercial opportunities grow via remote workflows, and his clients — including Oscar winner Tom Cross, Oscar nominee Joe Walker and Jinmo Yang (Parasite) — eager for work in the space within their own confines.
“Our Iconic Editorial editors are a huge asset to advertising agencies because our editors are trained in narrative and have decades of experience producing genre-bending projects that accentuate exceptional storytelling,” said Heinrich Meyer, who will serve as Iconic Editorial’s managing director. “By bringing in these world-class artists, ad...

The question of the existence of a soul has been one of the prevailing interests of modern science-fiction cinema. Films like Ex Machina, Her, Upstream Color, and now Luke Scott’s debut, Morgan, have have all prodded at the subject, keeping pace with societal paranoia about the obsolescence of humanity. This is far from a new idea. After all, the director’s own father, Ridley Scott, was exploring the Turing test more than three decades ago. But Morgan is worthy of conversation not for its achievements, but rather the way its failures and generalities characterize how far the genre has come.
Artificial intelligence is no longer the final frontier and Seth W. Owen’s script doesn’t just recognize that A.I’s are being made, it talks about previous models that didn’t live up to expectations. Modern sci-fi has moved past the point of pure invention to a goal of exceptionalism.

They've done what they've had to do to survive on AMC's The Walking Dead, brining hope and despair to palpable life on the small screen with gritty realism every week. Covered in grime, splattered in blood, and trudging down the sun-baked backroads and brush-bordered trails this season, the stellar cast and crew of The Walking Dead have paid their dues and then some, and now they're getting a tip of the cap in return with seven nominations for the 41st Annual Saturn Awards.
Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Emily Kinney, Melissa McBride, Chandler Riggs, and Andrew J. West have all earned nominations, with the TV series itself receiving one as well. Also recognized in this year's nominations is Scream Factory's Nightbreed: The Director's Cut Blu-ray, NBC's Hannibal TV series, Only Lovers Left Alive, and many more.

The regional critics groups have begun dishing out kudos, starting today with the Boston Online Film Critics Association. And happily, we're kicking things off with an outside-the-box choice that hopefully sets the stage for this wide open season. Note to critics groups: it's Ok to be this adventurous. Though of course, it helps when your group is smaller. That lends itself to quirky, more individualistic choices. The Boston online crowd has sprung for "Snowpiercer" as the year's best film, also handing Tilda Swinton the supporting actress prize for her performance therein. "Birdman" took the most honors with Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Edward Norton) and Best Ensemble. Also making a nice showing was John Michael McDonagh's "Calvary." Check out the full list of winners below, and remember to keep track of it all at The Circuit.

Correction & Apology: I had originally stated these were the winners for the Boston Society of Film Critics, a group with a long fascinating history. Unfortunately, as is all too common these days these prizes are from an upstart critics group from the same city, the Boston Online Film Critics Association*.
The young Bofca (now in its third year) seem to have issued some sort of challenge to the far more famous Bsfc. The Bsfc has had a place of honor in critics circles in that, for many years of their history, they seemed less interested in the Oscar race than actually offering an opinion on the best of a given film year which is, we unfortunately need reminding, the entire purpose of critical year-end prizes. In recent years their choices have seemed as Oscar driven as 90% of the critics groups that exist today. So perhaps the younger organization will remind...
