I saw Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse yesterday

and it was SO GOOD

The animation was great, the soundtrack was great, the Spidey-People were great, there was no shoehorned-in romance, I only had to cover my ears because of secondhand embarassment once for like a minute which is not ideal but was better than that MLP movie which admittedly was also great...

In glowfic parlance, which I will absolutely use because glowfic is great and its conceit of "multiple versions of people get together and Do Stuff In The Multiverse" is fantastic, there were four definite alts (Peter Parker and Peter B. Parker, "Spider-Man" 1 and 2; Peter Parker, "Spider-Man Noir"; Peter Parker, "Gwen's dead best friend"); two possible additional alts (Peter Porker, "Spider-Ham"; Peni Parker, "Mecha-piloting anime girl Spidey"); and a couple circumstance alts (Gwen Stacy, "Spider-Woman"; Miles Morales, "Spider-Man"), though Miles is an interesting case. Also some more alt stuff which is spoilery, sOOOOOOO.....!

( Le movie spoilers here )

Basically: Really Good Movie. You Should Give It A Watch Unless You Have Epilepsy In Which Case Sorry About All These Seizure-Trigger Movies I Guess (or unless you don't like rompy superhero movies in which case... sure but I don't get you). 6/5 Spiders. I Think I Might Buy Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider Issues Now.

-stage whisper- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm reading the Ontario Driver's Handbook online right now, because the test for getting your G1 learner's permit is just an eye test and written exam and then it's legal for me to get behind the wheel and have mom baby me through learning the ropes, but aaaaaaaaaa cars are only somewhat smaller than a adult Triceratops and might be hollow but are still a couple tons of metal going decently fast and I do not know if I can be trusted to not panic behind the wheel of a large moving vehicle

but like

gonna try

already have a key to the car, I got that just so I can get into the car without asking for a key

and it's just a written test, I know road signs by osmosis and really just need to bone up on specific rules and regulations around driving

it'd be interesting to know if the eye test would come back "you don't technically need glasses to drive", but I wouldn't get behind the wheel without my glasses unless I absolutely had to just because blurry vision is distracting oh hey cat (there's a cat on my lap and arm now)

anyway aaaaaaaaa
