Aunt May isn’t Peter’s mother’s anything. May was married to Ben Parker, whose brother was Peter’s father.

Marisa Tomei was actually the first Aunt May that made sense on any kind of reasonable timeline. She was always depicted as 80-something, which makes no sense that she would be the aunt of a teenager. She’d be a grand-Aunt or great-grand-aunt the way she was always depicted in the comics. Marisa Tomei is a very hot…

yeah when i go to the grocery store and pick a certain kind of milk i’m not ‘boycotting’ the other ones. 

Emmy Rossum being cast as Tom Holland’s mom in The Crowded Room, despite a less-than-ten-year age gap between the two.

I wouldn’t call it that, but it looked like something I could skip altogether. The first one was okish, but it was absolutely nothing special.

Amazing how we all just accepted for so long that there was apparently something like a 30 year age gap between Ben and Richard Parker.

She’s in her 50s, you know. An entirely appropriate age for the aunt of a high schooler.

Reasonably competent and entertaining, but not really doing anything to advance the form or make any kind of thoughtful statement. Which describes most movies, I suppose.

I mean... Fury of the Gods wasn’t garbage, but okay.

Having seen this trailer without prior consent or preparation (at a screening of The Big Lebowski of all things), I can confirm there are at least two other... well, ‘jokes’ might be putting it a bit strong, ‘humour-related audience-response-generating nodes’ might be a more accurate term for this particular paradigm:

Right. Michelle’s character was supposed to be 16 or whatever, not 22. So if was playing her actual age of 37, she would have been 21 when she gave birth. That means her character was actually a few years younger than her real life age.

Better or worse than a 22 year old high schooler?

fans on X were quick to point out that the character Shelby was supposed to have served as a surrogate for Rachel’s dads when she was a teenager

Yeah, it’s almost like the disparity between the presentation and the content itself is amusing. Weird.

It was also in development hell for 10 years and I’m guessing they couldn’t Zaslav it for the tax breaks.

I had seen a bunch of billboards and video ads on mute for Strays, and I had absolutely zero idea that it was for adults. I totally assumed it was ‘Homeward Bound’ for the new millennium.

I am going to predict 90% of the alleged jokes in this movie:

This was probably the last weekend that Elemental and Indiana Jones are going to be in the theaters. I figure they will be available to rent and buy digitally in the next two to three weeks.

Yeah, it’s going to be a while before another movie has a $50m opening weekend. Next weekend Blue Beetle opens, but I have a feeling that it will be lucky to bring in $30m based on presales.  Since the studios moved so many release dates, it gets really thin after that.

Nah, Hollywood is nothing if not efficient at copying success. Next year will see a flood of MAGA-friendly movies ending with an impassioned plea to buy more tickets now or the evil commie pedos will win.
