You know, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse might not suck.

The animation style has bugged me throughout, but either I’m getting used to it or else it’s smoother in the more recent clips.  I am also becoming more and more reassured by the presence of Spider-Ham.  Spider-Ham makes it more likely that the whole thing is, well, a comic book movie.  I could be down for that.

PS: The Rotten Tomatoes review score is interesting, but ultimately meaningless without fan reaction to judge them against.  And, to be honest: I’ve been seeing more and more reviews that want to review the movie that ‘needs’ to exist (for one cause or another), and not the movie that’s right there in front of the reviewer.  Not that fan reactions are perfect, either.  But if the reviewers and the fans both like something that’s usually diagnostic.

Hold up: this is a *Guy Ritchie*-directed live-action Aladdin?

Apparently.  …Oh.  Well.  That is, well, somewhat unexpected.  Guy Ritchie is a director who makes films that appeal to me, if apparently not that many other people these days;  I had a lot of fun at The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and King Arthur.

So, I dunno.  Maybe there’ll be a gun battle or two?  I’d pay good money to have this flick suddenly shift to a modern-day street score with a snap of the genie’s fingers.  Oh my God, but that would actually be amazingly good.  I’m now almost mad that they’re not going to do that, in fact.  At least it wouldn’t be boring.

So, it’s gonna be called Men In Black International.

It has some promise to it.

So, is Nick Cage doing ‘The Colour Out of Space,’ or not?

I saw it referenced in Facebook, but when I looked around for the original story it had been deleted.  Which is weird, because if the story had turned out to be false, why not just update it?  And, for the record: if there’s anybody who can play somebody slowly going nuts from being in contact with an alien colour… out of space… it’s Nick Cage.  I’d watch it, I surely would.

I wonder when the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer gets leaked?

Sony showed the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer at Brazil’s Comic Con, and is reportedly not going to release it generally for another ten days.  …Now, generally the MCU has been extremely good at squashing premature leaks before they can even start.  But that’s Disney.  They have a fearsome reputation in that regard.  Sony… does not.

Although, to be fair; you’re more likely to see leaked footage from the convention than a hacked and downloaded trailer.
