No more cheese, bean and peanut butter burritos before bedtime 😳😉😏

Underpants seizure raid? (Hey, that would be a good name for a band!)

We watched it last night. It becomes significantly more interesting in the second half, when they return from space after failing to "negotiate" with Galactus (a dumb idea), and then must confront a loaded (Biblical!) morel dilemma.

Galactus himself was spot-on (which one couldn't say about RISE OF THE SURFER, obv) and the kaiju action at the end was delicious.

But the Surfer FX, oddly, look no more advanced or convincing than they did in 2006! I guess they blew the budget on Galactus and were forced to load up old CD-ROM CGI from 19 years ago...

Pascal and V. Kirby were good; J. Quinn often seems like a weaker Johnny than he actually is because the Chris Evans Torch was pitch-perfect. The Thing is simply all wrong, though - objectively. Ben Grimm is one of the most clear and iconic characters in Marvel comics... he's Ralph Kramden, w/ the grandeur turned up to 11, plus a deep tragic underlayer. Moss-Bachrach plays Grimm likes he's just on 'ludes all the time: not even Tragic, just medically subdued.

Two very dumb things about the film: 1.) Women who are 8-9 months pregnant aren't even allowed to fly on planes, let alone into space.  :lookingup: 2.) Whatever other criticisms one might level at the acting, the real clincher was the resolutely dry eyes during the climactic (apparent) death scene. We got a spouse, a sibling, and a best friend with a pulse-less body for sixty seconds, not a single tear can be mustered by the actors and their director?  :bluesad:

Good point, Jim. I've played at least two indie horror games where old episodes of "Popeye" are playing on TVs as the player character explores a spooky house. Probably the same episodes that were on cheap VHS tapes near the check-out aisles of my local Woolworths when I was a child.......
