I’m genuinely in awe of Paul Verhoeven’s ability to make people lose their goddamn minds over his films and how he’s been able to do this for almost 50 years.

The paranoia about spoilers surrounding comic book/fanboy movies is hilarious because nothing of consequence ever happens in any of them.

I am an “Emily in Paris” defender, but whoever came up with the tagline “She’s back for amour and coming in haute”… Coco Chanel called and she wanted to tell you to take one thing off. pic.twitter.com/Amy8p04iHU

I understand the thirst for Mike Faist as Riff, especially because he's charismatic as hell, but JFC David Alvarez as Bernardo 🥵 pic.twitter.com/WQGGK0jUgy

DURING A DISCUSSION OF MOVIE LENGTH...
Absolutely one mark in BELFAST’s favor is just when you think “I know it’s early, but a good movie would end on this shot”…. it does!

What haunts me is that I am just not smart enough for so many people to be this much stupider than I am.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is easily the BIGGEST film this weekend to shut the fuck up about and stop spoiling because it's been out for five minutes. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shut the fuck up about it. See it on the biggest screen possible and shut the fuck up about it!

Those last Spider-Man-related tweets were funny, but it truly was a balm to this movie-loving soul to be in a theater with those kinds of (similar) reactions. Overblown perhaps? Sure, but gosh darn.
Those are the reasons why I love going to the movies. Just for that atmosphere and noise. I hadn't felt something like that since Avengers: Endgame during the portals scene. The way the theater just went loud and everyone was popping out of their chairs. Girls and boys screaming over Spider-Man and everyone screaming for another hero and another and another. Women and girls screaming over "don't worry, she's got help". That is cinema.
