Finally saw Spider-Man! God, flashbacks to high school, gah.
The credits scenes were great, and Chris Evans looked like he was having a great deal of trouble not laughing, and I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
What a great way of showing the trials of a baby superhero. And nice tie-in with Winter Soldier.
But I'm a shallow Tony Stark fan and Tony and Pepper are still together!!!! And that was surely Dummy picking up things he shouldn't!
And hijacking a plane of Stark goodies makes a great deal of sense.
Oh, the bored teachers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Saw Colossal, as it just came out on iTunes. I meant to catch it in a theater but missed it. Anyway, I loved it. It's a comedy that's not really about a giant monster trashing Seoul, Korea, although that happens. It's more about alcoholism, toxic masculinity, and male entitlement. Very original and fun.

Heh. Hearing about the spoilerfont is what made me decide not to drive to a neighboring city where it was playing in theaters.

Yeah, it's a comedy, but the spoilerfont stuff makes the funny go and the creepiness arrive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Saw an early screening of Atomic Blonde last night. Short version, if you want to see Charlize Theron beating people up while wearing sleek clothes and high heels, you will not be disappointed.
Long version: Fun, but not brilliant. Theron is great, and the film definitely commits to the late 80s Communist vibe. But as silly as this sounds, the plot is over-complicated, and nothing particularly unexpected happens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, but Dana, I could not believe the people in my theater toward the end (not the final end, but what I thought was going to be the end! The scene in the hotel, I think) who were like, "Wait, is she...?!?!" Which I thought was obvious by that point.
