Into the Spider-verse is such a good movie.

It is.  Best Spider-Man movies by far

So I wanted to buy Tron Legacy 4kHDR.  It's not for sale in Canada. 

Yeah cause you better buy the 3D bluray instead.

Nah no way.


First was great. Second was meh.

Watched part of the bad Ghibli movie. 

Earwig and the Witch is very bad. It reminds me of Monster House, but it's worse in a lot of regards. 

And the lip sync is so terrible.

Oh but monster house wasn't that bad imo.

Like I'm not defending it. I just put all those type of movies in the same bin.

When I was watching Spiderman Spiderverse, I found myself thinking about Superman.

When you watch Spiderman, you really feel like the responsibility to do good is weighing them down. They have struggles. Miles and Peter both are so burdened by doing the right thing.

When you watch Batman, it's a little bit different. He also feels the responsibility to do good, but it feels like he just has to do it. It doesn't feel like it's weighing him down the way it does for Spiderman. 

The Superman movies both feel different from that.

Christopher Reeve feels too suave as Superman. He doesn't feel like he's "trying to do the right thing." He is just doing and succeeding at the right thing, because he's that super. 

David Corenswet feels different. There are things that he struggles with in the movie, but when it comes to helping people, it feels like he's borderline excited to do what he thinks is the right thing. Its a weird juxtaposition against the Christopher Reeve Superman. It's like he's less super confident than Reeve, but he more than makes up for it in other ways.

I found it so delightful.

There are better movies, better Super hero movies. But I just find it so delightful. And I would love to watch more things with characters like that.

Cool difference.

Yeah spiderman is always about the burden. With great power comes great responsibility.

Meanwhile batman is more about the vigilante fantasy. With great power comes great ability.

It's really funny when you look at how some specific movies or shows were made, and there are a bunch of great movies where it feels like a complete accident that they turned out so good.  


The Emperor's New Groove started out as a completely different movie, and it was a big disaster, practically making it up as they went. They didn't have a script made up for the movie. One of the people talked about going back and making a transcript for the movie after it was finished, because the archival team asked for the script and they didn't have one. 


And it turned out great.

Don't trust this guy!!

Should have trusted him!

Weapons was meh. Although all the freaking ads on HBO sure didn't help. Literally had a 1 minute 30 second ad every ~9 minutes for the last half.

Boom! I think it was made worse that everyone hyped it up like it was one of the greatest horror movies.

I had way too high of expectations, I think

I also watched The Long Walk last night.Pretty suspenseful. I've never read the Stephen king novel so I don't know how it compares, but it was pretty good. All the actors were really great

Also I don't think I'd recommend the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. It was a decent campy thriller but some questionable choices were made on how the characters acted and the ending
