McCarter must have slipped something in Rabin’s jellybeans to stop him writing this.

....maybe, like, some offense to Reid McCarter? Not a lot.

I mean, Albini loves the studio, and it’s easy to imagine the ‘mats being bored as fuck and unwilling to be actual professionals.

He has spoken for decades how he gets paid a flat fee to record as an engineer and thinks it’s criminal that “Producers” get a percentage of an album in perpetuity. I respect the hell out of him for that stance. 

Fuck, man...this is just a plain ol’ wholesome story!

Yeah. That’s where we are now. 

...a non-judgmental, inclusive community for people on the fringe, built on a beautiful communion they call ‘family.’

...uh huh...keep going...

With that (flawed) logic, Miguel has not been born yet when Miles and Gwen are teenagers and get their powers. And when Miguel becomes Spider-Man in 2099, Miles and Gwen are long-dead.

“Securing, in the process, a lock on its title as one of the maybe two best Spider-Man movies, period”

As much as I love Spider Man 2 (and I have such clear memories of calling a friend’s radio show immediately after coming out of the theater because I was so excited I had to talk to SOMEBODY), there is simply no comparison.

I looooove the stylized design of 2099 Spidey and how his whole world looked different. If we spend these two movies hopping through different dimensions and they manage to give a different look to every world and Spider-person I might re-watch these even more than the first Spider-verse.

Philosopher means exactly the same thing in British English as American English. We refer to Plato and Nietzsche as philosophers too, and philosopher hasn’t had anything to do with magic for hundreds of years.

The word “philosopher” in American English simply has a COMPLETELY different definition that in no way invokes wizardry or mysticism.
