I saw the Spiderman film over the weekend. After all the incredible reviews, I thought it was fine. pretty solid. Quite a downgrade from the first.
It's strange, the first one was like a breath of fresh air compared to the marvel slop being served up and then this one walks right into the trap that marvel did. Everything has got to be bigger, got to be more. Gotta have more spidermen. More parts. More comedy. More action. More references. More meta. It was just just excessive and the fine tonal balance of the first was completely lost.
Even the animation seemed to veer from "this is the right shot for the scene and it happens to be stunning" to "you are the victim in a deranged animator bukkake" more often than not.
As with avengers its good enough that I won't mind watching the next part but I doubt I would want to see it again

Using up my annual leave. Watched Treasure of Sierra Madre this afternoon. Stood up and pointed at the screen when John Huston appears.
Looking to see what double bill I can go to tomorrow: Jules et Jim et Thelma et Louise it looks like (fuck Three Colours Red). I remember Jules et Jim being mid when I watched it a few years ago. Á propos du cocu

I think Spiderverse kept enough of its heart and kept Miles at the heart so that the bigger, more bombastic stuff wasn’t out of step with the rest of it.
By Laboured Go To PostI hated the movie but there were a few moments (Momoaents?) like this from him that did make me laugh.

I’m in.
Just saw Thelma and Louise, for the first time.
Love from Ireland.
I respect women so much it's unreal
Surprised at how funny it was and that it was definitely a #crowdpleaser

By s y Go To PostI thought avatar 3 was already done?They finished filming the motion capture, but that’s only the start.
Watched Shiva Baby on the recommendation of wooden. Was good (and only 75 minutes long! :o ) but who leaves their phone unlocked ever, mama mia. Speaking of phones, I might have spent half of the film on mine reading google looking up all these jewish terms. Please do not besmirch hot blonde cuckold as a 'shiksa princess', old lady.
Packed house on a $6 Tuesday. Btw, with a $5 coupon the ticket still comes to $2.89 for Transformers
This new Transformers is completely inoffensive. Definitely rushed through the Peru section of the story. Also has a crazy ending, that's pretty bold.
Watch it if you can for a low price.

Finally saw Beau.
First half I thought was great, I really loved it. Very Twin Peaks The Return. Perfect blend of comedy and nightmarish anxiety porn.
Second half Was a bit of a mess to be honest, but I did really enjoy the last 45 mins or so.
It almost feels episodic in nature rather than a straight up film. Like 4 or 5 episodes of something that were stitched together with some working much better than others. Overall though, I liked it a fair bit. Glad films like this are being made, though I doubt Ari gets a bigger budget for a good while. He's 3/3 though.
Gave it 4 on Letterboxd, though Sy liking it so much probably means it's more like a 2...which I'm sure it is for the majority of people that have seen it.

Why are we giving nerds access to the press junket what the fuck are these questions from these nerd goblins
Imagine being in your eighties and having to waste the precious time you've got left with that shit.
