He/Him. Optimist in bleak midwinter.

Obviously things worked out, but Spider-Man is one of the strongest superhero brands in the world, so it's surprising they didn't push for the imax screens in the opening weekend. Still, an excuse to go see that NYC B-Roll compilation on a huge screen. I ain't mad.

SM3 and ASM2, the most controversial Spideys, each did massive box office. The lowest earners were incredible animated films, which still did great and changed animation. BND’s success is a poor gauge for the health of the MCU. Spidey is huge. But I DO truly hope Doomsday pulls off a miracle.

I wanted my retirement home to be filled with people who remember TGIF, embarrasing AIM chats, and those guys in school who wouldn’t stop quoting Austin Powers in class. Now I’m worried everyone’s going to chatbot themselves into early dementia and I’m going to have to invent one-player pickleball.

I guess I don’t NEED a giant Enterprise bridge diorama in my house… not sure where I’d put it. But gosh darn it I want to see one up close.

🖖 BREAKING - Nacelle Toys Unveil #StarTrek "Build-A-Bridge" Playset at #SDCC 2026! Announced earlier this year, the prototype is now on display at the event. The bridge is designed to pair with Nacelle’s 1/10 scale Star Trek action figures! 👀 See it at Booth 2547!

I remember a local theater jumping the gun and selling Force Awakens tickets months early. Well, the theater had been renovated and had two fewer rows on premiere night, so my seats no longer existed. My party ended up in folding chairs. So no, I will NOT be buying my Doomsday tickets today.

Man. Nolan was all “go woke go… make a damn good movie.” Which is fun because rage bait youtubers NEED to look as foolish as they are. But man… the number of TV commercials mixed in with the movie trailers was out of hand for IMAX. It was nearly 40 minutes before the movie started.

I was with my youngest niece tonight and I think she spent maybe 20 minutes away from her tablet. So I owe Toy Story 5 an apology. It’s realistic, it turns out. Also realized my first niece shares a name with my sister’s old Cabbage Patch doll, so even that plot point is kinda real.
