Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I'm seeing Spider-Man tonight,
Jealous! I'm not seeing it until Saturday.

God damn, how long is Doomsday going to be?
I heard the reveal that Dr. Doom is played by RDJ will take 152 minutes by itself.
And judging by the two-person Mjolnir authentication of Steve Rogers, I expect the movie to be 30% overstuffed and 70% fan service.

So not only 2hr 25min, there was a whole bunch of stuff in the trailers that didn’t make it into the film!
Good movie, though!

Dang, the movie has barely been out for 24 hours and the internet (including Apple News updates on my phone) is trying to spoil me about it. Calm your ass down, internet. (My brother saw it last night and said it's obvious who Sadie Sink* plays,** but it's still nice to not definitively know going in to the movie.)
*I'm not even sure who Sadie Sink the actress is, and now I can't look her up, because everything will be "Sadie Sink, the new Squirrel Girl [or whatever] in the latest Spider-Man movie..." Like I legitimately can't think of who she is, what she looks like, or what other stuff she's been in.
**So I would say it's not that obvious who she plays. At least, not to me. Though I would give a bajillion dollars for it to be Squirrel Girl.

I learned today she apparently has red hair?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
She was Max on Stranger Things.

Okay, I didn't watch that but definitely know who that is from gifs galore.

Oh, right. I looked her up at some point, even, but did not keep the name in my memory for long. I will take this opportunity to watch the Spiderman trailer (so behind on my pop culture, sigh)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Spider-man 4: Spider-menopause was very good, even if it was at least 30 minutes too long. The post credits scene is totally skippable for someone like me who is, at best, a casual / occasional MCU enjoyer. (I get that it's a hint to something but I don't know enough to care about what it specifically is.)
