NO I WANT ANSWERS ITS BEEN 13 YEARS

Shelby Oaks Had a good time seeing Chris Stuckmann’s directorial debut! It’s a horror film that isn’t doing anything particularly groundbreaking but what it does do, it does well. Definitely worth seeing in a theatre environment. No poster up though so I took a photo of the title card at the end!

The Spectacular Spider-Man First rewatch of what is still the best Spider-Man TV show. Both seasons nail so much of what makes this character great, from the quips to the action to the villains and more. It honours classic storylines while keeping them modern and fresh. It really is spectacular!

Get Out I think the last time I saw this was in theatres in 2017! Just as good now as ever. Peele’s writing is still so fresh and the film strikes a perfect balance between unsettling and comedic. Incredible performance from Daniel Kaluuya as well. It’s obvious why his career skyrocketed from here.

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

Marvel Zombies A cool continuation of the zombie episode from What If…?: Season 1. I enjoyed getting more time with characters like Ms. Marvel and Shang-Chi who have been criminally underused, but ultimately this just doesn’t feel that impactful or like it has anything to say. Fun for fans though.

Luke Cage: Season 1

One Battle After Another Excellent film with a particularly standout performance from Sean Penn. Saw this projected on 70mm film and it looked incredible throughout. I liked how there’s so much more going on in the background beyond the main plot, but that’s not this story. Makes it feel grounded.

KPop Demon Hunters Took me a while to watch this one and I ended up having a really good time with it! Great work by Sony Pictures Animation with similar levels of care as they put into Spider-Verse. The soundtrack and performances are great too! Definitely lives up to the hype.

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man: Season 1 After a few attempts, Disney has finally delivered a great Spider-Man show. This is the best Peter and his supporting cast of characters have been in a long time, and everyone is given good stories and motivations. They even often outshine Peter!

X-Men ‘97: Season 1 What a fantastic way to continue the original series with all the modern flair and maturity it deserves! Never could’ve imagined this hitting as hard as it does, and I was shocked by how visceral it could be. Rogue, Gambit, and Magneto were definitely the standouts this season!

Sinners Third time watching this film and first time at home via 4K Blu-ray. Still as amazing as the first time I watched it. The 70mm and IMAX film source creates a *gorgeous* viewing experience on my OLED TV. Definitely one I’ll be revisiting and would recommend as a must-buy for anyone!

Godzilla Minus One Never seen anything Godzilla before, nor was I very interested, but after hearing amazing things about Minus One for a couple years I decided to grab it on sale. Pleased to say it was great! Solid performances from likeable characters, and impressive VFX from a very small team.

Eyes of Wakanda A surprisingly interesting animated anthology! Episode 1 was good but didn’t blow me away, episode 2 was just okay, but episodes 3 and 4 were really cool and made this series worth the watch. Very beautiful art direction. I’d be down for more random animated projects like this!

Fant4stic I watched this once on a plane and thought the first half was a pretty good setup, but once they get their powers nothing interesting happens. I’m sorry to say that my opinion hasn’t changed. It just becomes incredibly boring and lacks any momentum. The movie ends and you feel nothing.

Fantastic Four I probably haven’t seen this movie in 15+ years, and I’m pleasantly surprised to say that I had a really good time with it. Is it great? No. Is the script weak? Yes. Is the score forgettable? Also yes. But the effects actually haven’t aged that bad and it’s just a lot of fun.

I get irrationally annoyed when I buy a digital game on switch and they do that virtual game card animation. It feels patronizing lmao

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Finally a genuinely good FF movie! The cast have great chemistry and were very well selected for their roles. The retro-future world is brilliantly designed, and the cosmic visuals were a really incredible sight to see. Giacchino absolutely cooked with the score too!

Ironheart This took a few episodes to get going but had me totally hooked for the latter two thirds of the show. Interesting exploration of grief. It caught me off guard how heavily it delves into magic as I expected more of a tech focus, but it leaves me very interested in what’s next for Riri.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story This was a really great peek into Christopher Reeve’s life, family, and impact. I’d highly recommend it to anybody. You go through the full range of emotions watching it!

Superman This movie was such a great time! The cast is perfect and really embodies their characters. The movie starts us in the middle of the action and doesn’t slow down. This feels like a fantastic setup for the new DCU and I can’t wait to see these characters again. James Gunn *gets* Superman!

I love him

Christopher Reeve Superman Review Thread (plus Returns)

X-Men: The Animated Series This show has always been a big blind spot for me in my Marvel fandom. Despite my continuing preference for Spider-Man: TAS, I really enjoyed watching all of these stories and gaining new appreciation for characters like Jubilee, Rogue, and Gambit. Now on to X-Men ‘97!

fun fact: only you get decide what matters to you I'll never understand why other people care so much what other people love or enjoy if it doesn't affect you my mother taught me years ago, mind your business and stop worrying about what other people do

Marvel’s The Defenders Saga - Review Thread

Doctor Who: Season Two, Episode 8 “The Reality War” I was surprisingly into this for the first half but it really fell apart with the typical RTD finale resolution bullshit. The way things wrapped up wasn’t satisfying and the end leaves me very concerned about creative decision making going forward

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.

The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 7 "Convergence" I’m thrilled they kept the cliffhanger almost exactly as it was in the game, including revealing what is to come next season. Ellie’s characterization is not where I’d like it to be but this was probably closest to how I’ve wanted her written in S2.

Doctor Who: Season Two, Episode 7 “Wish World” I’m not typically one to say this about a “Part 1” but I think my enjoyment of this episode entirely depends on how the second part ties everything together. There wasn’t much of a story here on its own and I’m not quite sure where it’s going either.

it’s really hard to think of a better individual game character design than Kirby

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning This movie rocks but it has issues. The first act is bad, and the returning villain from Dead Reckoning isn’t very well written in either movie. But the second and third acts are so tense, exciting, and legitimately awesome that the issues barely matter.

I'm gonna go back in time and kick whichever teacher first told students not to use Wikipedia straight in the ass.

Rogue One This movie never really worked for me in any of my three or so viewings over the last nine years. I could never get invested because I just couldn’t bring myself to care about the characters. But two seasons of Andor later, *I care now.* The movie finally clicked and I loved it.

The Last of Us: Season 2, Episode 6 "The Price" Loved the new flashback to young Joel but less of a fan of the other new flashbacks and changes to ones from the game. The porch scene in particular is arguably the most important moment in the game but combining it with other scenes makes it messier.

Doctor Who: Season Two, Episode 6 “The Interstellar Song Contest” Based on concept alone (Doctor Who does Eurovision) I had lower expectations for this but I’m really pleasantly surprised! Juno Dawson soars in her Who writing debut. Fantastic allegory that hits hard and genuinely got me emotional.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Andor: Season 2 This show is without question the best piece of Star Wars media. Episodes 7-9 of this season were particular highlights, but the whole thing is a phenomenal display of talent from actors, writers, directors, editors, and more. Everybody needs to watch this show, Star Wars fan or not
