So I did the Full Old Man thing yesterday. Went to see a movie and was one of three people at in the theater, then walked around the mall for an hour, then spent five hours playing pinball. Came in third and got some nice prizes, because it was the largest crowd we’ve ever had for a pin tournament. It was hosted by Steel Valley Brew Works (and yes, I’ve already told them that they should not be using http. Habit dies hard) and the owner also started a great local coffee place, Stonefruit Coffee.
The movie. I really, really liked it. They say it’s a fanboy movie. OK, name me the MCU movie that isn’t a fanboy movie. I mean, seriously, they’re all based on half century old comics. It’s like saying Get Back is a fanboy movie. Well… yeah. Of course it is.
I’m still traumatized by TAS 121-122. I was 17, and really into that era of Marvel comics, and… they killed Gwen? So when MJ falls, I stopped breathing for a good 30 seconds. I am a movie cryer, and as I get further into Old Manhood it’s getting worse. This one, I’m glad the theater was empty.
Great movie. No, you don’t need to have watched all of the previous ones to enjoy, though I did watch Far From Home before I went.
I went and saw it with James and Ted. You’re always welcome to come with us. We usually hit the openers and I have a thing about reserving the best seats. Yeah I thought it was fantastic. I watched Venom 2 prior and that was a letdown. Going into this I had high expectations and they were fulfilled. Now I just need a proper Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four movie that pays me fan service.
