OT: Movies/TV Shows

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

That Blackberry film is great -- almost every scene bristles with energy and comedy. Matt Johnson is my favourite director from English Canada.

Though, be advised that a lot of the facts get obliterated for the sake of dramatic tropes.

Does it explore why Jim Balsillie couldn't get an NHL franchise?

And credit to Matt Johnson, he invited an ex employee who trashed the trailer to provide DVD commentary explaining all the inacuracies.

For like non spidey nerds too?

Def more for the nerds. But still entertaining with a great art style.

 

[CH1]

I loved the first Spideverse — saw it twice.

The only other spidey movie that comes close is the one made ages ago when Dr Octopus was the villain

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, that one was probably the best of them, but they’re all trash for the most part. They never got the casting of Peter right either. I don’t think any of the three is a good choice for Peter.

Needs to be white, eh?

The tom holland ones are great.

 

[Montana]

Yeah, you can’t get better casting than Holland in the first Spider-man….that was pitch perfect.

Alfred Molina

Yeah, not like Maguire, Garfield and Holland.

Too much a baby boy.

The tom holland ones are great.

They’re okay. Compared to the prior ones, they’re great, but not anything special on their own that will stand the test of time.

Would be nice if they’d go a bit more adult with Peter and the story.

agreed...he's fucking stuck in high school

 

[LeafOfFaith]

agreed...he's fucking stuck in high school

Yup. And the next iteration will probably start all over there against.

Let’s see a Spidey who’s in his 30s and doesn’t have to account for his whereabouts on a class trip.

Do comic book characters usually age much?

Do comic book characters usually age much?

Sorta. Like Dick Grayson went from kid Robin to adult Nightwing without Bruce seemingly aging any. So they’ll age them independently of others. I mean, Spidey is far removed from high school and was sort of well into adulthood with marriage back in the 80s, but they’ve basically regressed him back to just out of college age these days.

Posting just because she's still the hottest of all time.

Isn’t it baby cartoon shit? More adult for whom?

That’s what we call, timeless beauty.

Well, he asked, so I thought I’d give him the lowdown. Maybe he’s coming around, ready to expand beyond his view that Groot is the most relatable comic character.
