If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think the animation in this one is even better than the first one.

Overheard in the theater last night during the end credits "Real talk man, that was the most beautiful motion picture I have ever seen" and I cannot disagree! Just visually stunning in every goddamn frame.

And it looks like part 2 is shaping up to be [minor spoilers] basically a love letter to fix-it fic? Which I approve of in EVERY WAY.

I want this franchise to go on until they literally run out of prepositions. (Beneath the Spiderverse. Around the Spiderverse. Above the Spiderverse. Etc.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Across the Spider-Verse is the second recent movie where the multiverse is in danger because of a bagel. (I laughed so hard at the reveal that Spot was Bagel Scientist.) Not a trend I expected.

OMG Steph, how did I not pick up on that I love it even more now.

There’s a movie poster for the movie All of it Always All Over the Place (with a bagel) in the background over The Spot’s apartment.

Hmm, I'm seriously considering extending my James Gunn embargo to GotG3 and just jumping to this as my next one to see. Zero ambivalence or worry about how much I'll enjoy it.

It was so good.

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.

Just got back from Across the Spider-verse and absolutely loved it. I still haven't seen any of the Venom movies so I had to look up the cameo from those. I was honestly surprised at the number of live-action universe references there were. I was also very happy to see my favorite Spider-man cartoon Spectacular Spider-Man get some love, too.

omg I loved how unimpressed Mrs. Chen is with the whole thing. She's seen Venom eat people before. The multiverse is nothing to her.

The Venom movies are hilarious, btw.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's where she's from! I knew I'd seen her somewhere. Anyway, I went to Across the Spider-verse yesterday, and I loved it. I went with two friends who were equally impressed. The animation was just jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
