Just asking, because that movie was F'king awesome and without any close seconds, even including Joker, Deadpool, OG Batman and Superman is by far my favorite Comic book flick of all time. I'm thrilled that I somehow managed to still be able to see it in that little theater I love going to and didn't see it for my first time on my TV.
Well done, Sony.
I appreciate you really sticking the landing and not screwing it all up.

if you're looking for a movie with a plot/actual story line...this ain't the flick..
I'm NEVER going into a superhero movie looking for a plot or story line. With rare exception they're all the same boring, stupid formula. Hollywood isn't looking to break any new ground when they churn these things out because of how huge the budgets are. Play it safe. Give the masses the same crap over and over and over again and hope that this year isn't the year that they finally say enough is enough.

more like an effort to put as many old faces as possible into one movie..
Sure. That's exactly what it was. Incidentally, some of my favorite episodes of the 90's version of The Outer Limits were the ones that tied a bunch of seemingly unrelated episodes together too. Especially the one where the guy was trying to talk to the President of the US about all of the alien invasions that had been happening and it turned out some of the people on the committee that were going to decide if the President should be informed and voted it down were themselves some of the aliens that he was talking about. I really loved how one of them said to the others something along the lines of "we don't have to worry about these ones and those ones, but yeah... that one is going to be a problem we have to take care of".

and I was honest to God waiting for one of the spideys to look at the others and say the immortal chick flick line "you complete me"....
They kind of did do that...
There was a Wayne's World reference in there I think went over most people's heads. When Garfield says to McGuire and Holland "I love you guys" and McGuire just says "Thank you".

this movie will never make my rewatch list... in fact it left such a lousy taste in my mouth that I have to go back and watch the first Holland , which they really got so very right...just to get my head back into what spider man could be.
Except for Deadpool (and possibly Joker if I'm ever in the mood to put myself through that one again)... and maybe Mystery Men after all of these years have gone by, I don't think I'll ever watch a Super Hero movie more than once, and most of them I never intend to watch in the first place. I pretty much hate the genre as much as I do Horror flicks, with only a few rare ones that I enjoy.
But I really loved how they ended this Spiderman. They had a Magician at their disposal. They could have Deus Ex Machina'd the whole thing and brought Aunt May back to life, and restored everyone's memory and gave it a nice happy Hollywood ending and I would have vomited in my throat.
To me, the best thing about this movie wasn't the Nostaligia (which they did do extremely well, IMO). But it was the potential for future Spiderman movies with Holland, assuming they make them. We get to see what we didn't get to see at the end of the TV show Chuck. We get to see Peter Parker make MJ fall in love with him all over again. (I didn't feel it was really earned that first time, TBH).
And Peter just moving into that dingy apartment building, all on his own with nothing but his self-tailored Spiderman suit jumping out the window to just go

I found the full episode on YouTube. Great episode from a great Sci-Fi series.
Probably wouldn't mean much if you didn't watch most of the episodes referenced in it though.

I've watched it 87 times so far, but have yet to get to the end (grin)
Pun?
Ehhh... Come on man. Took me a second too, but it's obviously about Live, Die, Repeat.
He's clearly watched it, and he's clearly a fan.

I do want to see Rigged, the documentary about Zuckerbucks stealing the Election. A production of Citizens United.

The big question about Lightyear is who is sticking it in who's butt for kids to see.
The second biggest question is has Disney tarnished their brand so badly that they will have their first Toy Story flop.
The third biggest question is will Disney learn from their mistakes when it doesn't meet expectations.

Quote:Expectations, 6ix? This is NOT Toy Story 5. Disney will be fine. The trailer for Lightyear hints that the scriptwriter saw Planet of the Apes. Buzz Lightyear travels at hyperspeed, left only 4 minutes ago, but returns 62 years, 7 months into the future. Things have changed for the worst, but it is not intelligent apes causing problems. Unlike Charlton Heston, who could not save the planet because he got beat up by gorillas, Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear is gonna kick James Brolin's giant robot butt.

There are always expectations.
Disney hasn't met them with most of their recent flicks, especially the Marvel trash they've been putting out.
Let's see how badly they want to stop losing money. If they put any Leftist agenda shit in there you can bet that they're going to have their first Toy Story branded loser on their hands.

Disney’s decision to oppose Florida’s “don’t say gay” law is all about appealing to Disney’s consumers. Republicans who most yearn to make America “great” again — aging, rural, white men — are at the bottom of the consumer totem pole and lack the financial clout to swing the free market. Conservatives just can’t handle the fact that their political ideology is toxic to people who buy tickets for Disney World and Disney movies.
Fox News agitator Laura Ingraham had previously warned that if companies like Disney didn’t “stay in their lane” — focusing on maximizing profit, but shutting up about politics — “everything will be on the table” if Republicans return to power in November, including “your copyright and trademark protection, your special status within certain states, and even your corporate structure itself.” GOP Senator Marsha Blackburn denounced Disney’s criticism as “how the woke left extremists are using corporations to push their agenda.”
Here’s the irony, though: While Disney controls municipal functions in Reedy Creek, its special tax district, it also foots the bill — for the fire department, sewer treatment, and so on. The elimination of that special status thus will save Disney $163 million annually, passing on $1 billion in debt to taxpayers in Orange and Osceola counties and forcing massive local tax hikes. So what in the name of Adam Smith’s invisible hand is going on here?

I have money. Not to spend on that though.
Why don't you post more links of your pirated Firefly stuff, you piece of shit?

No it's not. It's pissing off the people who used to pay to see Disney.
Look at their stock prices.
Democrats and Leftists are done, buddy. Expect the new Bob to be fired from his position at Disney and a huge change in the corporate structure to occur over the next year. Disney is tired of losing money, pandering to a woke Titter mob that doesn't bring them any cash.
I didn't bother reading the rest of your bullshit, as per usual.
We'll see the box office results of this woke dumpster fire and I'll give you my I Told You Sos then.
You've accumulated quite a collection of them so far, haven't you?
