Spoiler alert!

Finally got around to watching Spiderman: Far From Home

Well, I watched parts of it, but got bored about 15 minutes in when I saw the twist coming, and basically decided to spend the rest of the movie checking my phone.

If you want a more even-handed review, I would suggest this one:

Every generation thinks that, yes. My comment is primarily directed at a new contributing factor though - voice recognition tech - that heavy reliance on may lead to increased illiteracy. Reality is, literacy is far better now than it was even in the 40's and 50's, but as its once again getting easier and easier to get by being completely illiterate, that could change. At any rate, it's more directed to post whoring.

Side note: El Camino. Overall loved it, felt satisfying.

Finally watched Avengers End-Game, and the (SPOILERSPOILERSMARVEL/GIRLPOWERSPOILER) scenes effectively ruined the entire movie for me, much as it would if God himself magically appeared, flicked his fingers, fixed everything, and the movie ended. [Don't worry, that part isn't a spoiler]

I thought it was sad but a well told story. Some parts of the movie were absolutely funny.

Been waiting to see that.

Interesting.

I LOL when the kid dropped that bazooka.

I have it on good authority that the new Midway movie is evidently worth watching.

I found it long and at times slow, but afterwards I felt like all the parts were a necessity for the complete story. An excellent recounting of history with some incredible effects.

Many critics panned Midway, but the viewing audience likes it. A pivotal battle for control of the Pacific.

My daughter wants to know if there has ever been a scary movie set in a single story home. I'm sure there has been, but I can't think of one.
