AKA the good, the bad, and the ugly
The good?
Phil Spiderman, Far From Home.
I had forgotten they even made this. I went in with no knowledge of nor
expectations.
There was a *lot* of stuff early on I didn't care for. They of course had to
deal with all this 'blip' crap from the Thanos snap. Even though I've seen
the other movies, I couldn't follow what they were going for here, or who was
alive and who was dead. One of Peter's classmates is 5 years older now? Why
the Hell is he in high school? Did he vanish and just come back aged?
Shouldn't it be illegal for him to be hitting on 15 year old girls? This is a
creepy as Clone Jack in Stargate going back to high school.
Apparently Stark, Widow, and Cap are dead. Stark I get; I forget what's up
with Widow, but why is Cap dead? Why does the public know this?
How come Peter and MJ are thinking about maybe going out some time? Weren't
they dating 6 years ago in Homecoming?
I found the casting annoying. It's like they intentionally miscast everybody.
Zendaya was already in place (and very very good here). But why is Betty
Brant blonde? And Flash Thompson ... damn, there's nothing left of him but
the name.
But then Happy shows up! He's been one of the best things about the MCU since
Iron Man 1! I'm not sure how he had an affair with May without Peter noticing
... and Robert Downey Jr! Who also lusted after May. And traditionally the
only woman for Happy was the always annoying Gwyneth Paltry ... but anything
that gives Marisa Tomei more screen time is fine by me.
So the high school is sending a dozen students on a European vacation (you'd
think a world that was all but destroyed and then had it's population double
overnight would still be picking up the pieces, but hey). Still none of this
stuff gels until the moment Peter inherits Stark's glasses, and wa-hooo we're
off to the races!
Almost.
What the Hell is up with Mysterio? He's always been a bad guy. Now he's a
multiverse hero? And none of this Elemental stuff makes any sense, even for a
comic book movie. But there's Nick Fury! And the chick from Stumptown! And
they're always great.
But it plods some, and after they kill Sutur, I really thought it was over
and ... it's only half way! And it's all a mind fuck! And the rest of it is
really really good!!!
And then after almost too much non stop action, it really is over.
But it's not! And there's another mind fuck!
I'm exhausted at this point. Thank God for the credits.
But wait! There's more!!!!!
And it's the State Farm guy!?!?!? Holy crap!
And at first I did *not* like the end of the movie at all, but then I
realized how totally true to the comics it was.
And I realized my face hurt from smiling.
Wildly uneven. Definitely worth sitting all the way through. No way in Hell
I'd watch it in 3D, it was almost too much in 2D.
Thumbs way up. Not the best Marvel MCU movie but probably in the top half
dozen, likely higher.

that true of ANY place they rent? And why don't they just ask Selleck's
opinion on it?

Howard Hughes 1943 western THE OUTLAW.
I had never seen this, although I certainly knew a lot about it.
This is absolutely dreadful.
It's about the homosexual three way between Doc Holiday, Billy the Kid, and
Pat Garrett, as well as the evil woman Billy loves.
No. Really. I'm not making that up. I'm not kidding. I'm not exaggerating.
There's a lot of woman hating in this too. Actual dialog:
“It does no good to kill a woman. They are all alike. There is nothing they
won’t do for you… Or to you.”
Russell rides a mechanical horse in front of a blurry back projection of
people riding real horses in front of the rock Kirk fought the Gorn on
And stands by a fake saguaro cactus while saying they’re at Fort Sumner New
Mexico
Then Pat Garrett murders Doc Holiday, and buries him in a grave marked Billy
the Kid (with the wrong date) and Billy rides off with the woman he hates.
All this happens maybe 6 months before the gunfight at the OK Corral, and
almost a decade before Doc really died
Both the Billy and the girl 'actors' had never been on screen before, and it
shows.
Here's my theory: This was shot as a melodrama, and was so completely
unwatchable they tried to turn it into a comedy in the editing room, right
down to putting wacky music stings to punctuate dramatic dialog. Right down
to the classic 'wah wah wah'
I mean, there's close ups of people ears being blown off, with funny music
It plays like Monty Python does Sam Peckinpah.

It's a plot point. Ned *says* Brad came back 5 years hunkier and is unfair
competition for MJ.

I didn't even know Mysterio was in it. Seriously, I was barely even aware
this movie existed. It was totally off my radar.

Who wasn't? I noticed it more with Maria Hill.
I forgot to mention my favorite part: Happy's happiness watching Peter build
his new suit, using the music from Iron Man 1.

commercials. They all showed Furry introducing him to Peter, and him
saying he's from an alternate universe. 99.99999% of the people in the
audience walked in *waiting* for him to go evil!!!!
explains why Furry and Hill were acting weird.
I won't spoil it. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it now... :-)

Then why is Brad possibly still in their high school class? Did he fail every
year of the last 5? He still should be in jail for hitting on teenage girls.
Never saw an ad or a trailer. I was thrilled what a good job they did on
Mysterio's outfit.
Yes, saw that too. I had assumed Fury and Maria were LMDs. I didn't guess
this. They did a great job on it too. Fury's keeping them from becoming prime
rib.

they clearly say, "Our classmates who didn't blip had grown 5 years
older." They show a picture of him as a young kid in a basketball
outfit then him wearing the same outfit but older. Yeah, it doesn't
make much sense. It could be one of those things they just hoped the
audience wouldn't think about it. I know his potentially being in the
same school for 5 years never crossed my mind until you pointed it out.
I guess it could be a combined Junior High and High School. I know on
Degrassi the kids would always start out in Junior High School then
right when it was time to graduate the school would suddenly become a
high school. Regardless, the point of that scene was just to acclimate
the 2 or 3 people in the audience who hadn't seen the two Avengers
movies that 5 years went by and some kids aged while others didn't.
Actually, now that I think about it a little, they said everyone had to
repeat the whole year over. Assuming it's a 4 year High school the math
does sort of work out. You just have to assume he wasn't actually in
the school with them the year they blipped, but now he is actually a
classmate who didn't blip 5 years ago.

Yes, an apartment that would cost $5000/month min. in Manhattan for $1100/month. So, they moved to one that was perpetually rent-controlled (because screwing a landlord out of money is better than if one offers it to you??!) for about the same.

Well, half the year. They left mid term came back mid term (I guess exactly 5
years passed) and Betty was mad that they had to start the year from day one.
But THAT makes no sense either. If they'd been gone 4.5 or 5.5 years they'd
have to start over at the beginning, but exactly 5? They'd have had to wait
half a year to get back around to the start of a year. But this is a summer
trip, and they've been back 8 months ... so let's assume they vanished, say,
January and came back 4.5 years later in September, and had to repeat
sophomore year for 8 months and now it's summer ... man, that's a mess.
I did like the woman who took advantage of the blip to fake her own death. :D

The only way it makes sense if he was 5 years behind them when the blip
happened. And that as a 10 year old he was on their radar for some reason.
And that still doesn't make sense. :D Unless MJ was babysitting him. I mean,
we can make up some incredibly complicated fanwank to try and excuse it but
it still doesn't work.
BTW, for those unfamiliar with the comics, Brad (who is not in the comics as
far as I know) is the Flash Thompson character from the comics, physically
and personality wise. I don't know what they think they accomplished by
having the Flash character and the Flash name in there but switching them
between actors.

I'd have gone to Dad, asked if there was *any* way this was okay. Maybe $2500
would have done it. I certainly wouldn't have thought about it without
informing him.
But then I'd have told him about the rent control too. Because that's gonna
bite you in the ass sooner rather than later.

working out of the same station house? On different shifts? They'd have been

same old for as long. First season was really different, completely pro
police without entirely coming off as propaganda, just an interesting
look at a post 9/11 surveillance society. That stuff almost entirely
went away.

they did still the single stupidest thing I've seen. They have crummy
surveillance cam video of a shooting, with the shooter off screen. Esposito
