Paul Rudd must have a painting in an attic somewhere.

Golly, yes!

So I saw AM&tW last night, and I enjoyed it, but I have to ask: What the hell was that with Michelle Pfeiffer's false eyelashes and perfect smoky eye? I was entirely distracted by that the entire time she was on the screen. After all, she was lost in an alien dimension for a quarter-century: did she have a spare makeup kit with her when she went missing, and just saved it for when she knew the rescue was coming?

Nice to see Dutch as well-- I don't think I knew Hannah-John Kamen was in this.

After we saw it last night, I told Paul that she clearly had been shopping at Quantum Sephora.

I think Paul Rudd basically looks his age? I mean, he looks good! He's aged well! But he doesn't actually look like he's in his 20s or 30s--he looks like a dude in his 40s (I mean, okay, he probably looks like he's in his mid-40s rather than late, but hey!).

He and Paul McGann and Keanu Reeves do need to share some of that fine wine aging with the rest of us, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think it's the hairline. He's just been lucky enough there that he seems young looking. He does have lines on the forehead and around the eyes that are completely age appropriate.

And also his shirtless form is very much that of a pleasantly wiry middle-aged dude.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahaha, Quantum Sephora is perfect.

I really liked AM&W even if the comic-book science makes my head hurt. The humor and pacing and overall breeziness of the Ant-Manverse agrees with me.

I loved AM&W! Such a fun romp, and we laughed out loud on multiple occasions.

I saw it with my Mom Sunday afternoon, and she was wondering why I burst into laughter as soon as the interrogator busted out the truth serum to get info out of Luis!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OK, have finally finished JJ2. Oh my poor girl. I would like season 3 to be all puppies and rainbows, please. That's likely, right?

Don't give a duck about Trish right now. I could eventually, but right now I don't. Really like the blazer she was wearing in her last scene, though.

Malcolm and Oscar had best not disappoint. I'm heavily invested in the both of them being decent humans.

On to Luke Cage. And Antman & Wasp. And AoS. I think that's all I'm behind? MCU is hard to keep up with.

Right, Cloak & Dagger. And Runaways? Damn, so much.

This is why I don't read comics, it's too overwhelming.

Damn, Luke Cage season 2 was really good but that last episode was super unsettling.
