Sony is sending Into the Spider-Verse out on a concert tour where an orchestra will be playing Daniel Pemberton's score live accompanying the film. There will also be a live DJ and turntables. I think this is just so cool and I hope they eventually do the same thing with Across the...

What if you tried to show her some of it in 2D? (I assume the 3D Blu also includes a 2D disc.) I know it's not your preferred format, but perhaps it would seem less frenetic and jerky if it's flat?

So whoever put the sign out doesn't follow the Oscars and should have looked it up to see which one they should display.

That's certainly interesting. Is that something you actually saw in a store you went to, or did you find the photo online somewhere? There was not an equivilant sign at the Best Buy that I went to last night. How long ago would that sign have to have been printed up and sent to the store in...

It's way too early to know for sure what Disney is going to do with Endgame's Blu-ray release, as the film hasn't even premiered yet and they won't announce the disc until after that. However, Disney seems to be moving away from 3D support. I could be wrong because I don't want 3D personally...

There was already Best Animated Short before animation got a feature category. Why shouldn't there be both? I think it is entirely reasonable to honor animation in its own category. Everyone in the Academy is eligible to vote on the winner whether they've seen the films or not, which is how...

The only two times ever that Pixar has been nominated and lost were 2001-2 (when Shrek beat Monsters, Inc.) and 2006-7 (when Happy Feet beat Cars.) Every other time, Pixar has either been nominated and won, or not been nominated at all (Cars 2, Monsters University, Finding Dory.) I fully...

Thank you for sharing that information, @Josh Dial. That makes sense...although, in the movie, how much does Miles know about his uncle's past? He seems genuine when he asks his father "What's wrong with Uncle Aaron?", and But the explanation of his parents' motives definitely works.

I should have been more clear. Of course his family is relevant to the storytelling. But they didn't make the issue of his parents being married or not relevant to the storytelling. They were a tight-knit family unit, but the film itself didn't make an issue of whether or not they were...

Why? I get that Peter Parker has the same initial letter for the first and last name, but Gwen Stacy is Spider-Woman in this film, and G and S aren't the same letter.

Sure. But, speaking strictly in-narrative here, the movie doesn't particularly give me the impression that they care what other people think about their marital status, since the filmmakers didn't make it relevant to the storytelling.

Yes, it's unusual. Does his mom wear a wedding ring in the movie? (I saw it opening weekend and wasn't looking for one so I don't remember.) But I don't think it's a problem. Maybe they aren't married. If they aren't, that's fine. I don't see that as a negative necessarily. (Comic book...

This is a real-world answer, not an in-story answer. But... This character was created to be diverse. The name "Morales" is distinctly Latino/Hispanic, so anytime the character is discussed, it announces that part of his heritage in a way that wouldn't be obvious if his name was "Davis,"...

[Disney nerd] Toy Story was actually not released until 1995. The Lion King was 1994. [/Disney nerd] Sorry, I just had to point this out. That being said, your larger point still stands. It is definitely refreshing to see a studio take a big swing on something like this that looks different...

Even if you had done that, I've spent too much lately to get it right now, which always happens around the fourth quarter when there are so many new releases. But I'll probably get it next year at some point. In the meantime I imagine the DVDs will look pretty good upscaled on my Blu player.

Honestly, seeing this film really made me want to pull out the Raimi trilogy again, which I haven't seen in quite a while. I have the DVDs (including both the theatrical and extended cuts of Spider-Man 2, which is one of the rare titles I loved enough at the time double-dipped on), but I don't...

I saw this yesterday and liked it much more than I would have expected, but didn't love it. I didn't connect to the Spider-People emotionally as thoroughly as I have in the past with the other Spider-Man films centered around Peter. Miles' arc was great, and the others had good moments but...

Sidebar, but did they actually NOT have a trailer or for Far From Home on the front of it? If no, that to me is just a bizarre waste of built-in advertising potential to the exact same audience.

I thought it was a cool idea, but I remember thinking it was overused by the time we got to the end of it. But I also haven't seen it since the theatrical release, so I really don't remember enough to specifically argue one way or the other. I did like the film very much. Except that movies...

You know what else was supposed to look like a comic book with panels and such? Ang Lee's Hulk. That didn't work either. I haven't seen Spider-Verse yet, but this is starting to sound like a questionable choice. I plan to see it Sunday, so I'll judge it then, but yeah, that doesn't sound...

I haven't seen it yet (and when I do go I'll see it in 2D, as I can't see 3D regardless.) However, there is this one negative review that complains about it looking bad: More at the link. https://rogersmovienation.com/2018/12/09/movie-review-spider-man-into-the-spiderverse/ Does that sound...

Probably because it's easier to say that to the one customer who complains about it than admitting they have a problem they need to fix. :P

I'm all right with that, because we'll get good superhero films when we get them. For every great film like X2, First Class or Logan that Fox made, there was a Fantastic Four movie or The Last Stand or Origins Wolverine. The X-Men characters may appear less often under Marvel, but I suspect...

I was wondering if anyone here made it to the sneak previews, which I felt were oddly under-reported. I only found out about it last night almost by accident while browsing showtimes looking for something else. It was playing near-ish to me, but farther out than I would normally go, so I...
