Richard Linklater drops new anti-Cruz, pro-Whataburger ad
Sonny Carl Davis reprises cantankerous role as mouthy diner customer By Cary Darling Published 9:32 am CDT, Tuesday, October 16, 2018 Houston-born/Austin-based film director Richard Linklater made national headlines last week when he dropped an anti-Ted Cruz ad that mocked the senator's "tough as Texas" slogan. Now, he's made another one, featuring the same actor -- Sonny Carl Davis (from Linklater's movie "Bernie") -- in the same diner setting mouthing off about Republican Cruz who's running for re-election against Democratic El Paso congressman Beto O'Rourke. This time, in an ad that was released Monday on YouTube, he takes Cruz to task for having said he likes East Coast-based White Castle burgers while Davis claims true Texans would prefer Texas-based Whataburger. The Cruz campaign has called O'Rourke "a Triple Meat Whataburger liberal who is out of touch with Texas values."

Infinity Gauntlet Writer’s Unsure If Adam Warlock’s Still Coming To The MCU
x Seeing as he plays such a key role in the Infinity Stones saga in the comics, Marvel fans have been calling for Adam Warlock to feature in the MCU for years. While the Russo brothers prepared us to not expect him in Avengers: Infinty War, though, it looked like James Gunn had plans for him anyway as he was teased in the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. However, Gunn’s shocking dismissal from Guardians Vol. 3 means that we’re once again unsure as to whether the one known as Him will make his big screen debut anytime soon.
