I've said this before but I LOVE it when I randomly I can put a movie on a date from yeeeeeeeeeears ago because of some random picture or email that I falling on the same day.

Anyway, I was on a flight out of a Zurich layover after spending the whole night in the airport, except the baggage doors on the plane were malfunctioning and wouldn't close, so I started and finished this movie before we even left…

Wait why is this so good

(Oh yeah, because it's Tom Holland's Peter Parker.)

I have seen this before, but not in years; I'm surprised at how delightful this is. This slice-of-life diorama gives us a handful of moments that perfectly summarize what makes Peter Parker such a special human.

Edit after rewatching Far From Home: I'd consider this short legit required viewing for FFH. It's got maybe the most overt acknowledgement of Peter's financial woes since he told Tony…

YOOOOOOO! I'M THE ONE WHO GOT THIS ON HERE!

LETTERBOXD NEVER REPLIED TO MY EMAIL BUT THEY REPLIED TO MY HEART <3

(Seriously the earliest activity goes back to a few days/weeks after I sent them THIS EMAIL asking them to add this! SOMETHING ABOUT AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. IS ON LETTERBOXD AND I HELPED MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

With this addition, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has ed The Ultimate MCU Watch Guide!

The above was written before I'd even watched the series,…

And with that, I've now seen every piece of canon material in the MCU! (That's referring to the undebatable stuff. I haven't watched Agent Carter, but that's just "probably canon".) Unless someone wants to check if I've seen something really obscure.

Anyway, since Disney won't put this on Disney+ and it's the hardest one to find online, check out the link in The Ultimate MCU Watch Order to watch it if you've never seen it. (Edit: Now they have and…

Is the plot pretty forgettable (and occasionally offensive)? Yeah. Is Max Dillon's character an embarrassment? Yeah. Is the Green Goblin a joke in of design and screen time? Yeah.

But MOTHER HUBBARD, the REAL lightning flying across the screen in this movie is the dazzling romance between Gwen and Peter. Andrew and Emma's performances sing with ion, and Gwen's death hits so much more than anything else in the movie could measure up to (which is both praise and…

This is MY nostalgic Spider-Man franchise.

Things this movie did better than any previous Spider-Man movie:
- Having authentic, exciting chemistry between your two romantic leads
- All the webswinging
- Visual effects in general
- The Spider-Man of it all

I don't think between the Raimi and Webb movies that one's take on Peter is better than the other, but they both have their stronger points. I like the idea of a more troubled Peter; I think they actually…

What the heck? The way people talked about this movie, I thought the difference between this and the first two was equivalent to the OT and PT. But I really, really enjoyed this!

Sure, it has its flaws, and I'll get them out of the way as quick as I can. MJ continues being not all that likeable to me, keeping secrets from Peter just like she hated him doing to her and kissing Harry at least partly out of…

Oh boy, yeah.

So this was pretty great. Not perfect by any means, but great.

I loved that we spent more time with the characters and world around Peter. The scenes with Aunt May were a delight in a way that she didn't have the chance to be in Spider-Man, and J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson has quite possibly the highest entertainment-value-to-screen-time ratio ever.

Though I can't point out any specific moments that lulled to me, the film felt…
