NIGHT GALLERY---Syfy revival of the Rod Serling horror anthology tv series is underway. Jeff Davis (CRIMINAL MINDS, TEEN WOLF) is the creator. The original series ran on NBC from 1969-1973.
ACADEMY AWARDS--shortly after being announced as the host for the next Academy Awards presentation, Kevin Hart said he will not apologize for past anti-gay jokes and will not host the ceremony, “I just got a call from the Academy and that call basically said, ‘Kevin, apologize for your tweets of old or we’re going to have to move on and find another host.’ I’m talking about the tweets from 2009 and 2010. I chose to pass on the apology. The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times. This is not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed it. I’ve spoken on it. I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it. I’m not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I’ve moved on and I’m in a completely different place in my life.”
STAR WARS---Constance Wu (CRAZY RICH ASIANS) turned down an informal request from Felicity Jones (ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY) to join the STAR WARS universe, "I want to take roles that challenge me in different ways every year. I'm ready for something new, so thinking about that (signing on to the STAR WARS franchise) makes me feel like it's golden shackles."
However, Jones had no hesitations about returning to STAR WARS, "I loved playing that character so I actually, in an opposite way, I would really like to have more consistency and come back and bring Jyn back. I would actually like that for a couple of years."
LIMETOWN---Jessica Biel, Stanley Tucci and Marlee Matlin star in this Facebook tv series based on the podcast series about a journalist who investigates the disappearances of 300 people in a neuroscience facility in Tennessee.
NEW YORK UNDERCOVER---ABC is in the early stages of rebooting the cop series that ran on Fox from 1994-1998.
TRIVIA---today is the 77th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor as told in the movie TORA! TORA! TORA!
In the movie's famous line from the final scene, Admiral Isoroku Yamamto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, expressed regret for the attack, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
However, Yamamoto never said these words. Director Richard Fleischer said producer Elmo Williams found a similar line in Yamamoto's diary, but Williams said writer Larry Forrester found the quote in a letter Yamamoto sent to the Japanese Admiralty in 1943. The letter has never been found to confirm the quote.
In his book, THE RELUCTANT ADMIRAL, Hiroyuki Agawa, quoted from Yamamoto's letter of January 9, 1942, "A military man can scarcely pride himself on having 'smitten a sleeping enemy'; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack."

1. Marvel Cinematic Universe--$17. 4 billion
Deserves it. It's probably the most intelligently plotted franchise in history, even if there is an overall "Sameness" to the films. They are imitated, but nobody is actually learning the most important part of their plan, which is playing the long game. DC flails and Paramount never understood the long range planing aspect of it, which is why Star Trek never really caught hold.
2. Star Wars--$9.2 billion
After the last "Skywalker" film ends, I'll be surprised if it remains as successful as it is. The side films don't thrill and a new saga may or may not catch on. See next item:
3. Harry Potter/The Wizarding--$9.0 billion
Fantastic Beasts 2 isn't doing well at all. I haven't seen either film, as much as I enjoyed the Potterverse.
4. James Bond--$7.0 billion
Again, 007 needs a better plan at this point. It goes in fits and starts depending on the whim of the lead actor. It seems that every other Bond film kinda sucks...sort of like Star Trek.
5. Middle-Earth--$5.8 billion
After Return of the King, I checked out.
6. X-Men--$5.7 billion
A surprisingly high ranking, but I expect them to lose steam. The last film was awful.
7. Spider-Man--$5.6 billion
As much as ASM2 was kind of a clunker, I felt the Parker/Gwen story was amazing and really deserved a final film to tie up where Garfield's Parker was gonna go next. I loathed Homecoming.
8. The Fast and the Furious--$5.1 billion
I don't get it.
9. Batman--$4.9 billion
Are we counting from Keaton to Bale? Affleck never had his own film, as much as I wish he did. His Batman is perfect.
10.Jurassic Park--$4.9 billion
Meh.
VERY surprised Transformers isn't on this list.
