I realize I'm in the minority, but I really didn't care much at all for the new Spiderman movie, and I'm grateful I didn't pay for it (the theater just opened a few weeks ago in my neighborhood, and my date managed to score free tickets for herself and a plus one). As a fanboy, while I didn't appreciate the treatment of the Punisher (the only Marvel character I've ever cared enough about to read the comics), my main gripe was the sense that the movie was teaching the audience some rotten lessons. Without spoiling anything, it's considered by many that the Punisher's ruthless way of dealing with irredeemably evil people is "problematic." Okay, fair enough. But the movie expects us to sympathize with a villain who sadistically violated the autonomy of thousands of innocent people just for laughs, and hurt (or worse) even more for absolutely no reason, yet we're to think of them as simply "misunderstood"...? Gimme a freakin' break. I was pleased to hear that a few of the cultural commentators for whom I'll tune in on YT seem to be in agreement (nice to not be totally alone), and it makes me glad I wasn't any more emotionally involved: sounds as though this one managed to undo all the heroic sacrifices Spidey made in the last movie (didn't see any of them), so it could've been worse on a personal level. |

In an attempt to bring some balance to The Force, I'll contribute a positive review/recommendation for the last thing I saw in theaters before that one: a Thai production called GOHAN. It's a simple story of a stray dog, and follows his life from puppy to elderly dog and the people who cared for him along the way. Fair warning to dog people (such as myself), you'll want to bring your own supply of tissues and keep them handy.[MILD SPOILER] I was so happy that when the credits started rolling, the old boy was still alive and happy. I went in fully prepared for yet another OLD YELLER/WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS-style ending. [END MILD SPOILER] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upaQ2e1KHKU |

It certainly had its share of sad moments, but a lot of the tears are happy ones. Without spoiling anything, as far as I'm aware, no other movie has ever tried to show us what it is old dogs see when they're dreaming. 😭
