In the wake of the Brisbane International Film Festival I was also fortunate enough to review the latest Marvel blockbuster over at Indooroopilly cinemas on Monday the 1st of November, 2021.
Eternals became a little infamous for its muted critical reaction in comparison to other film from the franchise. I found it a film not without some merits but ultimately I too shared a frustration at what may have been and was not.

Of note to Beetley Pete maybe that the cast includes the talented actress Salma Hayek.
Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. Having started in 1993 they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They still publish magazines in print for Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland every month.

You were right to steer me to Salma. But as much as I could watch her read the News on TV, I won’t be watching this. It is not ‘Frida’, that’s for sure.
Thanks for comparing it to Lawrence of Arabia. These CGI-obsessed, flavour of the month modern film-makers should be compelled to watch all of David Lean’s films on repeat, before they are even allowed to get behind a camera.
(I did read the review, by the way. Well done, and HURRAH!)
Best wishes my friend, Pete.
