Just don't scew it up!

So, Spider-Man: Homecoming is really good, and everyone should go see it.

This isn't a review (too early for that, too many people haven't seen it) but more advice to Sony: DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

You've managed to ruin TWO Spider-Man universes with executive meddling. You finally got smart about this one and gave Marvel creative control. Now, for the love of The Watcher, DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

It's already hard to make a good movie. You don't need to make it harder by assuming you know how to do it, WHICH YOU DO NOT.

Remember this? Sam Raimi didn't want to do this. You meddled and this is what happened. And then you DIDN'T LEARN YOUR LESSON with the next sequel!

Sony. Bubalah. I am begging you. DON'T SCREW THIS UP. Let Marvel keep in the driver's seat. You'll make money. You'll win fans back. But most importantly, money. Money. Money. El dinero.

Marvel = Money. That's all you care about, right? So just sit back and let them handle this.

Please?

So, are we not talking about the Chitauri?

So, like, remember back in 2012 when aliens called Chitauri attacked New York?

As shown in this helpful documentary.

And remember how we all basically just rebuilt New York and got back to normal after yelling at the people who did it?

Again, helpful documentary here.

So...are we not talking about how aliens are real, and anyone who knows an abductee is getting the "I F*CKING TOLD YOU SO!" speech constantly?

Also, apparently Christopher Walken was wrong, and Whitley Striber isn't crazy.

Like...really? As a society we're ignoring that completely and just getting back to normal? Never mind that a guy who shilled for war bonds in WW2 somehow reappeared no older, or how a green giant is here, or how there may be actual magic, godlike people, we're just done talking about aliens?

Maybe I'm in the dark, but shouldn't there be all sorts of talk about this? Like, some cult that worships the aliens? Or a Million Mom's-style protest group boycotting anything that has aliens in it, because Jesus didn't ever talk about aliens, so they're all going to hell?

Poor bastards. They're going to lose like 3 rentals over this.

I live in Michigan, and we haven't had any aliens here that I know of, but still, this can't just be a New York issue. I haven't heard Colbert or anyone talking about it.

He'd rather promote new movies and political views. Typical.

I don't know...maybe everyone is just too busy trying to put Tony Stark in jail for making a killer robot.

Yet, they keep making documentaries about it.

If we've given up on talking about Aliens as a society, that's fine. Just someone tell me, okay?

Or at least tell Roland Emmerich.

Manic Tuesday

I'm gonna be honest with you: I didn't read enough of IT to make another post, nothing in the regular news grabbed my interest, and my oft-bemoaned river of movie news has become a trickle.

But I did just re-watch The Wolverine, and it's put me in an X-Men mood. Enjoy some internet silliness! Spoilers, probably, btw.

Nerd Meltdown

This has been a big week for me as a geek.

• I just supported the new Rifftrax 10 year anniversary Kickstarter/MST3K reunion show.

• New Captain America: Civil War trailer

 

• New international Ghostbusters trailer (that addresses some haters issues, but do they care, no, SCREW THOSE PEOPLE THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!).

•  THIS. This is the director of Ghostbusters.

 SO many of my favorite things all happening at once. I'm also having a good week at work, rehearsal for Damn Yankees is going well, and next week is my 2 year anniversary with Bahamute. We're going to Red Lobster. :D

Dinner and a show!

 It's been a good week. Just wanted to share my joy. :) Happy Friday!
