My favorite spider man was Into the Spiderverse and i was hoping it'd get a cameo but no dice

At first I was like ‘wait we’ve redone Spider-Man three times in what feels like 5 years, do they really have to do Dr. Octopus again?’ But then I thought it looked like Alfred Molina and it was
So actually I’m pretty intrigued. I loved OG Raimi Spidermen 1.1 and 1.2.

This was really fun. I hope it wasn't spoiled for you. I managed to go in aloof. If, like me you were frustrated by reboots and hated watching Uncle Ben become Kenny from South Park-- 'Oh no, they killed Uncle Ben!', then it will be cathartic.

I think I complain about being sick of comic book movies on most of the 1100+ pages of this thread. But this was fresh. And also tied in my favorite of all of them--the Raimi Spidermen.

Yeah. I agree. I figured I’d like it because the idea is just too good, but it surpassed expectations. One critic I follow said it reminded him of the optimism in og Superman and the Raimi Spidey movies and I think that’s true.

Looking forward to the Spider verse sequel too though. I’m sick of the amount of superhero movies but individually they can still pull it off.

I remember him playing young Hannibal in that odd one-off movie Hannibal Rising and then disappearing until I heard he was going to be in Moon Knight. Damn shame.

I finally watched Matrix: Resurrections. I need to watch it again to fully take it in, but it was certainly creative.

On the downside, the Merovingian should not have been utilized. His participation was 100% unnecessary. Unless they are setting him up to return in another edition, which doesn't make much sense, the movie is the same with or without him.

im honestly surprised they didn't just name it Matrix: Rebooted

In personal news, I now own these:

Streets of Fire is hot nonsense, but looks great and Willem Dafoe and the lead actor have a sledgehammer fight. It’s tremendous.

Thief is, of course, the original great Michael Mann crime movie.

There’s this Twitter thread going around about 80s movies looking great and having wet streets and it reminded me I should finally get these two since they’re never on streaming when I want to watch them.
