Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse (2023) Made Me Love Movies Again

After the Flash (2023) stole my pancreas in the night, Spider-Man All Over the Bloody Place undertook emergency surgery and replaced it for me.

I watched these movies back to back in the cinema like an absolute lunatic, and good lord the contrast was really visible. How to actually make a multiverse movie (Spider-Man) Vs how to break into Dan's house and steal his pancreas (The Floosh).

Spider-Man nails the balance of wow look at all these universe's and oh but let's tell a story that human beings can actually relate to. Gwen's relationship with her father and Miles' relationship with his parents really hits home that sense we all get between wanting to go and be our own people whilst also respecting and being there for the parental figures that love and raise us. Ultimately, Miles thinks he is choosing his father's life over everything, and still can't bear the idea of letting him die. Even if it is a "canon event".

Which is clearly nonsense by the way, Miguel O'Hara is doing a big lie! Because Miles' universe that he stole the spider from is still clearly kicking around! You did a lie! You son of a bitch!

The cameos in this film are so well done and so funny, Peter "Parked Car" made me laugh out loud. It was great to see MCU and Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield kicking around too. It makes sense, it does it right, it's everything the Flash isn't it. And it didn't steal my pancreas.

I kind of don't want to spoil things too much, but it's a great movie and I don't have lots to say other than it's a 9/10. I can't wait for part 2!

So what the hell should I talk about?

Wellll....

All this multiverse stuff has got me thinking, what multiverse concept is best? In the sense of, if it's real, what version do I want?

The Flash version says everything past and present changes multiverse to multiverse, so nothing is locked in place.

No Way Home says there's almost like roles to be filled, Spider-Man exists but is wildly different, but he always has to exist.

The Spider Verse movies say the multiverse has significant changes between universes, but every individual has certain "canon events" that make them who they are, and these events HAVE to happen.

Everything Everywhere All at Once says every version of us is created by significant life choices, but happiness fluctuates greatly, and what really matters is personal fulfillment over success.

Personally, I hope it's the Spider-Verse. Every individual has certain things that are meant to happen that make us, well, us. I'm not Dan if my mam doesn't send me to school with a block of cheese one day. I cease to be me. Or maybe I just like mini cheddars a bit more. Who's to say?

ALL THE MOVIES I SAW AND FORGOT TO REVIEW

Me when I should be writing reviews^ Alright I got a bit lazy and stopped writing reviews but I kinda wanna pick this up as it was a bit of a laugh and I’m still of to the cinema big time and seeing stuff so I’m gonna do a speed run reviewing all the stuff I’ve seen (that I can remember). Oppenheimer (2023) IT WAS LIT! He blew up a big bomb but then felt really bad about it. But I’m raging because beforehand people said you would see his dick and we didn’t see Oppenheimers dick. We did see some boobs and bums but I was promised his dick. 9/10. Barbie (2023) I sang I’m just Ken in the shower for a week. It was funny, well performed and well written. There was one rant that didn’t really land at one point, and there was no need for Will Ferrells character to exist in this movie. 8/10. Haunted Mansion (2023) Utterly forgettable, why didn’t you release this in October? 2/10. A Haunting in Venice (2023) I poo’d my pants! It was much better than someone’s bloody died on the Nile. I had fun a...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Lokimania

I called this review Lokimania which I now realise may be misleading, given the distinct lack of Loki, but you needed reminding to watch Loki, or at least refresh your little mind. This movie was the definition of MID in my opinion, more like bloody Ant Mid: QuantumMIDia. There was a couple of decent moments, one joke I enjoyed was at the end, but for the most part this movie is weirdly light on jokes. Oh I'm just gonna spoil this by the way, it's like a 6/10, it's just a movie. LITTLE ANT SPOILERS AHEAD Alright so Modok was weird right? With his little bum and massive head? I don't think I liked it! But I think that was the point? I dunno, that all was weird and his death was weird. Oh the one joke I liked was at the end when he was having this realisation like "wait is all this terrible stuff gonna happen... Nah it'll be fine". That was a good joke I liked it. I am being so lazy with this review but the movie was lazy too, it was just a movie, like it ...

69 (2023)

Ok so disclaimer I watched this on a plane lol. But I promise I was locked in! Gave it my full attention and didn't let my opinion be affected by the actual human shit that was my in-flight meal. Okay so bloody ages ago, an alien humanoid species (just humans tbh) do some travelling about and Adam Driver is one of them but then oh no they got asteroided out of space and crash land on earth but Christ on a bike it's during dinosaur times. It was really nice to watch a film about dinosaurs without Jurassic being in the title, I'm gonna start there. Adam Driver and a young girl (not his daughter) are the only survivors. His real daughter is dead, which is sad. It's also sad that Adam Driver is a bit stressed in this film for all of it, bloody dinosaurs all over the place, pricks. The young girl is annoying but real young girls are annoying so I guess that's a good acting job? She also doesn't speak English, so has a hard time communicating with ol' Adam. Adam...
