The plane sequence seemed to go all in on the psychedelia, which I liked a lot. It wasn't complex enough to be hard to follow, and we'd had a lot of very clean action sequences with Spidey, so I'm sure it was a deliberate stylistic switch up.

But the Liz in the movie is the Liz from the Lee/Ditko stories - popular, pretty, rich, smart and with a little reciprocal crush on Peter.

I would love this. Give him a henchman in Scorpion and I will buy my ticket this afternoon.

But Hamm should play Reed, right? Distracted patriarch, driven by doubt, full of crazy new ideas? Reed Richards is basically the stretchy Don Draper.

That's one big plus point for 'remixing' the characters a little - third time around on screen, things should be a little different. To be honest, I liked it much more in Homecoming than I did in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic.

I'm just here to say that your minor Betsy Brandt/Betty Brant mix up has made me realise that Betsy Brandt would make an awesome older Betty Brant.

And Winter Soldier with Batroc!

I really loved Wonder Woman but was frustrated that it didn't stick the landing. Dueling energy beams blasting back and forward is the kind of hackneyed super-hero nonsense that Marvel have learned to sidestep, but has effectively ended MoS, BvS and now WW. A shame.

I love all the odd numbered Final Destinations (3 is the best), but the beginning of 2 is really very good indeed. FD4 is bizarrely awful.

Who always pays his taxes? NOT BATMAN!

I've been seeing Kroll play awful people so well for years he just sort became The Douche in my head. Why was Poehler with a guy like that? Then on the recent Adam Buxton podcast, he came across as a completely lovely, sensitive, funny person, and I realized my error.

I agree - plus the loose Alien was probably more of a threat to the 2000 colonists if he wanted to tinker with his recipe a little.

I agree. It's good to be part of a world where (some) people are waking up to their own privileges and learned behaviours, but we're kidding ourselves if we don't think the kids of the year 2150 are going to look on our most woke ambassadors with anything more than the cold regard that progress brings. We have such a

Yes, the cadence and delivery are the same - that is literally the joke. Who do you think they are trying to appease?

She was nervous, she said so in one of the intelligible parts of the bit. The gag was that she was locked into the delivery patterns, cadence and fixed smile of the reporters even though she'd had a brainfail.

I think he did Scotty for his first line, but weirdly switched to Chekhov for the second line. I wonder if he switched roles at the last minute?

Famke Janssen?

It's only really the Russo Bros Cap films that have are monochromatic. Maybe Thor 2.

I haven't. I haven't watched a Jackie film since Chinese Zodiac, which was just terrible. I have Skiptrace on my Netflix queue but I can't muster up the guts to watch it.

It has a great cast, lovely premise, solid plot. I very much like Hard Rain.
