I went to see Across the Spider-Verse on Sunday, and then, I went to see it again on Tuesday. This is the most visually imaginative movie I've ever seen. They could have just done what they did in the first one again and been amazing, but they went above and beyond and I'm in awe of what they've done.

I forgot to bump the thread for that so I can't complain about nobody using it

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One)
So it's the sequel to Enter The Spider-Verse but it's "part one" because I guess they cut this movie in two like some kind of Spider-Hobbit. Hailee Steinfeld is literally everywhere, possibly in your bread bin.

I saw it a while back and enjoyed it.
They never say who the bad guys were either in the first movie.
Did they say whatever happened to Maverick's love interest from the original film?

Mirah
I love you
I watched City of Joy staring Patrick Swayze the other night. Wow, intense movie. Probably the reason for my strange dream.
Tonight I watched Happiness for Beginners. It was about a group of people that go hiking together. I actually kind of liked it Especially since that cute guy from Yellowstone was in it.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) - I was going to watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife but when I played it on Netflix the picture was weird and distorted. I don't think it's supposed to look like that as I gave up and watched this. Possibly a lateral move. The thing people liked about the first movie was Eddie and Venom's comical relationship, with Tom Hardy doing a very funny Venom Voice (there was also this thing where people really stretched it and tried to act like it was all a GAY LOVE STORY which I didn't buy at all, which this movie tries to say was an actual thing but only in one uncommital scene which is forgotten after it happens, ANYWAY.) They certainly double down on that here and Hardy can still do a funny Venom Voice and is quite good at physical comedy. But there's not really much else here, like a story or anything. It's basically 85 minutes long if you cut the credits and I'm not saying a Venom movie needs to be 2 hours+ but this is so weirdly paced and edited seems to leave key information out. Like the initial relationship between Eddie and Kletus (Woody Harrleson, somewhat underwhelming) takes up about three minutes and I guess that's the whole first act of the movie. Eddie and Venom break up - in an admittedly funny scene - for reasons I can't really understand. Then it's just a few more moving around of characters until we're in the final act and the big fight. There's a bit where Cletus suddenly says "you didn't tell my side of the story!" to Eddie and I was like "What? That was a thing?" Then right before he dies he tells Eddie "I just wanted to be your friend!" and that DEFINITELY wasn't part of the movie before then. So I assume a lot was cut out because the studio didn't think anyone would want to watch more than 85 minutes of Venom. One way it does improve on the original is that the big CGI fight looks a lot better than the hard to follow final fight of that one, and there's some fun action moments in there. But man this just feels like half a movie, if that.
There's some asshole cop who gets a load of screentime and I can only assume it's because he's the villain in the next movie because otherwise it's weird!
Woody Harrleson is 16 years older than Naomie Harris but they were supposed to the same age as kids in the children's home?
There's a mid credit scene that really wants you to think Venom is going to fight Tom Holland's Spider-Man, which is hilariously resolved without them even meeting in the mid credits scene of a different movie. What was the point?

I literally started thinking "wait, is this the one with the pointless MIchaal Keaton cameo?" at one point (it's the one with the pointless Tom Holland cameo!)

How can I ever watch a movie again with so many tv shows.

I'd also like to know that. My plans to catch up on summer movies during my 1.5 week vacation were thwarted by all my cable and streaming shows and too much cigar/weed smoking and socializing.
