@WanderingBullet You may want to spoiler tag that â most people probably know Mysterio ends up being the bad buy but a lot of people donât. I didnât know he was going to be the villain until the reveal in the bar.
@FullbringIchigo Yeah, I see what your saying. When the hero becomes public enemy no. 1. It worked well in Dark Knight because Batman is a dark and mysterious character. Spidey is the âfriendly neighborhood webslingerâ who is a goofy teenager. So it will be interesting if they can pull it off. The post credits scene was awesome but itâs getting a little exhausting not knowing whatâs real, whatâs illusion anymore. That was my complaint about that
Ha ha ha Well Mysterio's my favourite spidey villain @Th3solution
I love that classic design with the fishbowl helmet And I quite like that compared to most the other villians he ONLY has illusions and special effects... and sometimes hypnosis then any super powers
I'll be skipping Spider-Man, I think. I'll catch it on video, or maybe see it on a slow weekend. This week, for me, is all about Midsommar. I really liked Hereditary, so I'm excited to see how this film turns out.
Today, though, is an American holiday, and there's only one film that's fit to watch on this exalted occasion: the classic 90's sci-fi/action film Independence Day.

@KALofKRYPTON It definitely looks like a properly scary reworking of The Wicker Man. While I like me some moody nighttime horror, daytime horror, properly composed, can also be quite compelling. And I really dig the discordant visual elements: sunshine, happy-looking Swedish people, flowers, and folkdances combined with apparently really brutal and disturbing violence and imagery.
@FullbringIchigo I've never seen the remake. I wonder if it was before or after the scene where they film a bear-suited Nicolas Cage comedically punching a woman in the face that they realized the whole "horror" part of their "horror movie" had kind of slipped away from them.
@Ralizah honestly it's worth one watch just to see how bad it really is

@FullbringIchigo@Ralizah@KALofKRYPTON It falls into the so bad its almost good to no this is really bad category. Funny for all the wrong reasons and has to go down as one of the worst remakes ever, and that is saying something.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Ralizah yeah there is something about a bad horror movie isn't there, something you just can't quite explain

@FullbringIchigo@KALofKRYPTON Honestly, at least The Wicker Man seems to be good for laughing at. Nicholas Cage is the Orson Welles of enjoyably bad acting. It's worthwhile in that regard.
Some movies are... just bad. Not so bad they're good. So bad they're just... really bad. Watch Krampus: The Reckoning, for example, and tell me honestly that any bit of that movie ever gave real joy to one person on this Earth.
