I read a wire service article the other day, as "Fantastic Four: First Steps" opened, claiming that this was the 4th feature film adaptation of the Marvel franchise. Technically, this is true, but four isn't the right number.
People forget that independent filmmaker Roger Corman had the first crack at Marvel's First Family, all the way back in 1994. The movie was never released in theatres, but was eventually a DTV release, aired on cable, etc., and likely traded among collectors at conventions.
No, to the mainstream media, the FF movie series began in 2005, with the first of Fox's three adaptations, though I wouldn't put it past a cabler like, say for example, Syfy, to have the 1994 movie in their library to use when needed. That's just how it works.

As baseball's trade deadline ended at 6 pm (ET) on Thursday, both the Mets & Yankees continued to make moves.
The Yankees, like the Mets, strengthened their bullpen, adding closers David Bednar (Pittsburgh) and Camilo Doval (San Francisco) to back up Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. The Mets also traded minor leaguers to Baltimore for outfielder Cedric Mullins, while the Yanks dealt infielder Oswald Peraza to the Los Angeles Angels. Peraza had, in the team's view, become expendable after the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon from Colorado and ex-Met Amed Rosario from Washington last week.
During Thursday's rain delayed matinee vs. Tampa Bay, the Bombers picked up Jose Caballero from the Rays....
In other trade news, Carlos Correa is returning to Houston after 3 1/2 seasons with Minnesota. Looks like they're going to try Correa at another position, since Jeremy Pena is the current Astros' shortstop.

Trey Lance, who bombed out in San Francisco & Dallas, has landed in Los Angeles with the Chargers as the backup to Justin Herbert. Lance led the Chargers to a win over Detroit Thursday in the Hall of Fame game.

Brain dead traitor Tulsi Gabbard, now the "Director of National Intelligence" under Donnie Diapers, went on Glenn Beck's show Thursday, and lied her face off, falsely claiming that Democrats are leaving X (nee Twitter), proving their guilt over whatever she thinks they did.
Democracy Watch co-host Marc Elias ended his account with the platform, and former Secretary of State John Kerry took his account private. That doesn't mean they did anything wrong, but because Trump is obsessed with scapegoating Democrats for no other reason than to avoid accepting responsibility for his own foibles, and continuing to distract the public from the Jeffrey Epstein mess, you have drones like Gabbard selling out their brains with garbage like this.
How 'bout doing us all a favor, Tulsi? Apologize for your lies, and start telling the truth!
