Don Caballero always had my favorite absurd song titles:

Nah, you gotta get that sweet SEO from each headline to drive web traffic and inflate ad impressions. You know, journalism!

Nice to see the world of hip-hop (err, flute jazz) adopting the absurd post-rock song titles of the 90s. 

Sadly, there are no Cinemarks within 100 miles of [the place where I live] and all the second run cheapo theaters have closed down. 

Or maybe, the studio needs to back off a bit, worry less about the whole interconnected nature of the universe where every movie is a commercial for the next movie, and get back to making solid, standalone character pieces that draw on great comic book storylines.

Stop rubbing it in! Having a theater across the street would be magical enough, but a theater with a $5 day? Bananas.

Something had to have the worst opening in the franchise at some point, so maybe Marvel can look at this as a “rip the band-aid off” moment and not a “the sky is falling moment.”

Less musical numbers, more scenes where people singing makes sense. It’s science fiction, and it’s weird, but you’ve gotta work hard not to love this movie (if you ever get around to seeing it, anyway.)

Reviews are widely available. RT’s summary consensus chunk says, “Funny, refreshingly brief, and elevated by the chemistry of its three leads, The Marvels is easy to enjoy in the moment despite its cluttered story and jumbled tonal shifts.” Having seen the movie, this is accurate. 

Yeah, I was being hyperbolic. Death is obviously an overstatement, but, you know, the internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

There’s also the whole “Barbenheimer” meme, where every media outlet in the nation talking relentlessly about how many people were planning to see both movies in the theater. Seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer was essentially the Ice Bucket Challenge of cinema.

That’s the real shame, is that you haven’t. This is the most refreshing comic book movie in recent history. Everyone in the theater was laughing, shouting, having a blast. It’s the most fun I’ve had in ANY movie in years. Shame that superhero fatigue (yes, it’s a real thing) MCU burnout, post-COVID movie theater…

100%. Box office grosses are down across the board, with a handful of exceptions. This is just the continuing death of people seeing movies at the theater. 

I don’t know, I feel like I’ve been seeing ads all over the place for weeks.

Seems kinda normal for American film makers working with American producers to produce a movie about Americans. But I would love to watch a movie about all of the things you mention. 

As someone who’s seen wrestling in a used appliance store, a granite showroom, and more than one livestock action hall, yeah, an old furniture show room sounds about right.

Orrrrrr is it possible that this was an ad that they made especially for Monday Night Football, one that would appeal to a broader audience who might not have kept up with the MCU post Endgame?

The rare listicle that I don’t really have a quibble with except MAAAAYBE Joplin’s “Bobby McGee,” a song I wish had never been recorded, and that I would be thrilled to never hear again.

I’ll just add to the obligatory litany of “But what about”s by adding that Siouxsie & The Banshee’s “Dear Prudence” and pretty much…

That “most” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Daredevil and Jessica Jones came out swinging, but fell flat in their second seasons. Luke Cage barely made it half-way through the first season before getting soggy, and Iron Fist just fizzled on the launch pad.

Nic Cage becoming a meme has been frustrating for me, too. There’s a small but persistent contingent of “fans” that you’ll find in most any screening of Pig or Mandy just snickering every time he opens his mouth. It’s a bummer.
