This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Question on the Dr. Strange end of things, because I don't remember enough about the Dr. Strange movie:

In Dr. Strange, Stephen had a much harder time learning to make portals than Ned did, so yes, Ned’s probably got magical ability.

Another question:

In my screening, the audience cheered at all the same moments.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

In my screening,

Nice. That made my nerd heart so happy.

Completely unrelated: I’ve been looking at press junkets for Far From Home, and now I can’t stop thinking that the design of Liv Octavius in Spider-Verse was based on Amy Pascal.

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

I am stoically not highlighting y'all's whitefont while I try to decide when I can get to a theater...

Liv Octavius

No shade to Alfred Molina, but she was the best Doc Ock.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Liv Octavius

She really was.

With Kathryn Hahn voicing her, how could she not be?

Spider-Man: So, it wouldn’t have fit tonally, but after the news broke that Peter is Spider-Man and also a murderer, I really wanted a quick cut to Bucky and Sam sitting on a couch drinking beer and watching the news and reacting like, “Yeah, we knew that kid was a dick.”

Okay, AND (when all y'all see Spider-Man, come back here and validate me): I do NOT remember Andrew Garfield being *that* hot when he was in his own Spider-Man movies, but DAMN. The dude can get it.

I saw it this afternoon and for me it's the best MCU movie since The Avengers. It was so good I forgot how creepy I find Tobey Maguire for the full run time. Just aces all the way around.
