Loki is now D.B. Cooper Apparently

New DVD release,
Marvel’s God of Mischief appears to tied to the legendary skyjacker in the trailer for his new Disney+ series. At 7:59 pm last night, a frantic text arrived. “LOKI IS D.B. Cooper?,” it asked incredulously. That the mysterious message arrived from my friend Brian, the world’s biggest Predator fan and a manager at my local comic shop, indicated that big happenings were afoot in the Marvel Television Universe (yeah, the MTU is now, especially after yesterday, a thing). You see, he knew that D.B. Cooper is an obsession of mine, one that I’ve written about on this very site before.…

The Mystery of D.B. Cooper

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
The Mystery of D.B. Cooper brings to life the stories of four individuals fervently believed by their family and friends to be “D.B. Cooper,” the mystery man who hijacked a 727 flying out of Seattle, traded the passengers’ lives for $200,000 and four parachutes, lept from the jet over some of Washington state’s roughest terrain, and was never heard from again. Almost 50 years later, the case continues to confound the FBI and inspire wild speculation as it remains the only unsolved airplane hijacking in United States history.‌ The film draws from a combination of recreated and archival footage, as…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
On Nov. 24, 1971, night before Thanksgiving, a man identified as Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 flight bound for Seattle.

Scott Cooper and Guillermo del Toro Want to Make Edgar Allan Poe Movie

New DVD release, , , , ,
The current pandemic has brought many industries to a standstill, moviemaking included. Scott Cooper might tell you as much considering he has several projects on the backburner—two nondescript movies with Christian Bale and another with Elisabeth Moss—yet he isn’t sure which will get made next in the current climate. Even his last movie, horror-thriller Antlers, was supposed to be released already. Yet it was while talking about that latest one, alongside producer Guillermo del Toro, during a virtual Comic-Con@Home panel that Cooper revealed his dream project: a movie about young Edgar Allan Poe’s time at West Point. To be clear,…
