Speaking of awful looking movies, that Gucci movie has one of the worst trailers ever. It’s been on a million times and I have no idea what it’s about except Lady Gaga’s bad acting and Adam Driver chewing the scenery.

It's based a really interesting true story

The trailer doesnt help with knowing that though, you need to know the story to have a chance of catching it in the trailer

That’s what makes it so bewildering. It’s like they’re advertising it the italian version of that crappy JLaw movie about the QVC lady. In reality it’s got a ton of potential.

My guess is the movie will have an emphasis on mood and style and will be an over the top campy take on the story.

The trailer worked for me TBH but I’m also somewhat familiar with the story.

I tend to like Adam Driver's work so I'll probably watch that Gucci movie, even if the trailer doesn't sell it much for me.

I love Ridley Scott, he got me to appreciate Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, I'll trust that he knows what he's doing.

8 episode mini-series. Same writer as The Wrestler and The Founder (and Turbo...). Same Director as I, Tonya, Cruella and Lars and the Real Girl. The cast is solid so it might be alright. Definitely a weird topic to focus on.

A subway tunnel is one of the more realistic things he swings through. There's a consistent roof to anchor onto. The whole swinging through downtown thing is harder to fathom. There's just always a convenient building overhang or light post available, so that he can swing at break neck speed through the entire city? Who's picking up all those window cleaning bills? No one has ever followed him to see where he's going after he reverts back to Parker? In the world of cameras?

What happens when he goes to the suburbs? Does he just walk awkwardly along the sidewalk?

RE: no way home

You just know Tobey and Andrew are showing up.

There's a TV spot with Strange, Doc Ock and Holland chatting about how Otto knows Peter Parker but Holland isn't him leading into what is likely a discussion about the Raimi-verse.

Just so obvious now. And I'm pissing myself in excitement to see the three gens of webslingers unite in the MCU.

The suburbs are definitely an underrated Spidey villain.

But with the height of the subway tunnel he would be loading up on webs every swing.

He could mitigate that somewhat by using the trough where the trains runs through....but yeah...pretty impractical mode of transportation in almost every situation.
