I can totally imagine them slipping that into the movie, perhaps on meeting Dr Strange...

1. The Lego Batman Movie

I agree, especially given the most recent Marvel production was specifically about the value of nuance and understanding, and the destructiveness of heavy handed military absolutism. It feels like Sam Wilson would have talked Mark Ruffalo down to this new position, which is considered and responsible.

I don’t think 80 Days is that bad. It’s not deep, but it’s a lot of fun and a great way to introduce Jackie Chan to little kids who can’t read subtitles. On the pantheon of US Jackie films, I’d put it below Shanghai Noon/Knights and Rush Hour 1, but ahead of the all the rest.

As neither of us have seen it, I’m not prepared to double down on the quality gamble - though I think it’s looking positive. But I’d be willing to bet real money that it isn’t pro-right wing/Republican based on Watchmen (which definitely was very good, and good satire) alone.

Given the writers, I think you may be off the mark in your supposition of what’s going on. It’s very possible for good satire to take aim at both sides.

I’m just imagining that ‘police cats’ is how Jason Schwartzman refers to all police officers.

Or when anyone has any kind of a drink.

Wow - there aren’t many days in which you watch six films and can legitimately say that Deep Blue Sea was the best of them.

He’s got a few in the moral grey area. His character in The Longest Nite is pretty bad.

It’s a part of the British character, and all our best comedy is a mix of self-assessing and self-mocking.

I think Peter has a scholarship to the school - in Homecoming Vulture says it’s a fast track (or something similar) and that the kids will be set for life. I imagine that he was paying for Liz to be there, and Flash’s family is almost certainly paying for his space.

So maybe his scholarship covers the trips too?

You have Uncle Ben. That has happened to the MCU Peter. It’s a great story, but there’s two other Spider-Man films about it and it’s endlessly restated in the comics. Why do you want that story again?

Also, there’s more Peter/Tony interaction across Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War and Endgame than has ever been…

If you think Captain America being a Nazi (temporarily) was Marvel being edgy and cool, you’ve misread the story badly.

That’s a great comparison!

It’s on Channel 4's catch up service, the whole magic thing: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/friday-night-dinner

This is on my watch list, but has been bumped up considerably now I know Paul Ritter is in it. He’s best known in the UK as the dad in the great sitcom Friday Night Dinner, permanently taking off his shirt because he’s “bloody boiling” and frustratedly dropping his all-time-great catchphrase “SHIT ON IT!”

I don’t think it’s her bloodline so much as her upbringing. The whole show is a debunking of the idea that a bloodline guarantees anything, good or bad. Jon’s a Targaryen too, but he wasn’t brought up thinking he was destined to rule, that he held absolute power and that everything was his to take.

RDJr got a functional payrise for Spider-Man: Homecoming - less than 10 minutes of screentime, and it’s thought he earned $15m. IM3 got him $10m plus a percentage of profits (thought to be an additional $22m). (source: https://www.verdict.co.uk/how-much-has-robert-downey-jr-made-from-marvel/ )

Cubone is a Digimon stan? My world is crumbling.
