That movie is still happening? I thought WB scrapped it in their attempt to **** everything that has come after The Dark Knight Rises.

This is pretty cool; the first 10 years of Marvel Studios:

Any reason that some of the X-Men cast isn't in that photo? Awesome, either way.

X-Men is still Sony, IIRC.

[NTP66]

Ahh, crap, I forgot. I'll just Photoshop Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart into it myself.

Fake News. No Edward Norton.

[NTP66]

Meh.

Good catch. I guess they try to pretend that movie never happened.

[DigitalGypsy66]

People were griping that the Marvel TV properties weren't invited.

[nocera]

The Marvel TV properties are garbage.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Pretty much. Although, I would like to see Daredevil, Spiderman, and Punisher together on the big screen.

I love Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. *shrugs*

If they included all Marvel characters minus only Iron Fist, I'd still totally be okay with it.

Watched "A Futile and Stupid Gesture" on Netflix.
Not bad.

Finally got around to watching Homecoming. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Keaton was awesome as the villain... which is typically the weak point of the Marvel movies.

Had a legit Oh **** moment when...

Peter showed up at Liz's house and Keaton answered the door.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Fun movie.

Been putting it off for a while but I watched that last hunger games movie. Man, that was rough. I think once Phillip Seymour Hoffman died and they realized nobody was going to like it, they just gave up on trying to tell a cohesive story. It was really bad - even compared to the others. Or maybe the source material was the problem. That book was a chore.

[NTP66]

The book was significantly better. There was one too many movies in the series.

I'm not sure how I went this long without any knowledge of this movie, but Walk Hard is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. So good.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Rewatched Miracle with the kids (their first viewing). Good stuff.

Next up is Remember the Titans.

The Rookie is underrated, if you're looking for the feel-good baseball movie next.

I guess it's still a thing to laugh at excessive food allergy accommodations, but I wouldn't get used to it. Every time a kid dies, we're getting closer to a very drastic sea change with how we approach food + kids.

This snippet isn't even that crazy. There was a situation in the news recently where a kid was bullied this way. Some other kids slipped something into her lunch that they knew she was allergic to. Don't think she died but it was close.

It's going to be an increasingly taboo subject to joke around about. I think it's a good thing. But of course I'm biased since my daughter's life is on the line.
