Yeah I haven’t seen Morbius either, but I have a suspicion that most critics (Film Twitter ones especially) have already had their pitchforks ready, and that this probably deserves a Tomatometer rating closer to 30% than to 16%.

Zero money, have enough scene points for a freebie movie. Some MCU completism too (all technically MCU multiverse canon), I’ve read more than few spider-Man / Morbius funnybooks/cartoons to see the adaptation. It’s barely an hour 45 minutes etc. Lots of reasons!

DONT YOU TALK ABOUT HENNY!

The Spider-Man issues without the CCA were from 1968 — the Very Special Issue nature of it was a big part of why they got away with it. Morbius’ introduction was in 1971, soon after a slight liberalisation of the Comics Code that made restrained use of horror elements permissible where they wouldn’t have been before.

Basically, yeah. The old Code guidelines were very strict but allowed loopholes for adaptations of “classic literature” that would violate the rules if they were original comics. The code didn’t even allow the word “zombie” to be used until 1989, so Marvel used “zuvembie” for two decades.

It was.

“The worst being Sigourney Weaver not winning for either [Alien] or [Aliens] (especially the latter IMO).”

SS did a heckuva job with West Side Story so this news is disappointing

wasn’t that a star is born?

So...

In it, Superman decides he’s gotten too big and popular and wants to return to being a smaller, less well known superhero for fear of being seen as a sell out. This he accomplishes after a tumultuous defeat at the hands of the evil villain Ticketmaster.

I hope someone can write a Superman script while listening to Pearl Jam. Just to see where things go

Considering Angelyne is the apotheosis of “famous for being famous,” the person who bought a billboard to simply advertise for themselves as an entity...I’m not sure having her on as executive producer bodes well for the truthiness or incisiveness of this series. 

“hey Vazquez have you ever been mistaken for a man?”

Ripley wasn’t the typical final girl, she was written as a man initially but someone suggested that it’d be interesting to have a woman in the role and Scott liked the idea and ran with it.

Where does he get those wonderful TOYS?

Can we all agree Danny Elfman's scores are by far the best in either Batman series? That is some incredible music.

I'm quite fond of "Never rub another man's rhubarb".
