The plot: Miles Morales juggles puberty and being a Spider-Man whilst Kingpin uses a super collider which transports others from the Spiderverse into his dimension.


Random observations:

Of all the alternate universe versions of Spider-Man, Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham appeared in print first and Peni Parker was the last to make her debut.

  • Spider-Ham was first introduced in "Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham" (November 1983)
  • Spider-Man 2099 made his official debut in "Spider-Man 2099" #1 (March 1992)
  • Spider-Man Noir first appeared in "Spider-Man: Noir #1" (February 2009)
  • The Miles Morales version of Spider-Man's first appearance was in "Ultimate Fallout" #4 (August 2011)
  • The Spider-Gwen version of Spider-Woman made her debut in "Edge of Spider-Verse" #2 (September 2014)
  • Peni Parker and SP//dr first appeared in "Edge of Spider-Verse" #5 (October 2014)

I was lucky enough to get to see this in the theater with my dad. You can pretty well immediately see that the animation style is like nothing before ever attempted.

One of the things the filmmaker did to make this movie look so unique was to not "correct" motion blur, something unheard of at the time.

 Black Christmas (2006) RELEASED December 25, 2006  + 3 more RUNTIME 1 h  35 m DIRECTOR Glen Morgan WRITERS Glen Morgan   (screenplay) ,  Roy Moore   (author) COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English STUDIOS Dimension Films ,  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ,  2929 Productions ,  Corus Entertainment ,  Movie Central ,  Hard Eight Pictures GENRES Horror ,  Thriller ,  Holiday ,  Mystery This holiday season, the slay ride begins. An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one. Streaming on Hulu So I just watched the original Black Christmas for the first time a couple days ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. One thing that made Bob Clark's version better is that the low budget aspect of it actually contributed to the creepiness and horror. This version looks better in a lot of ways, but the polish detracts from the gritty horror that helped the 1974 version succeed better at the goal it se

Cry of the Werewolf (1944) RELEASED August 17, 1944 RUNTIME 63 mins  DIRECTOR Henry Levin  WRITERS Charles O'Neal (screenplay), Griffin Jay (screenplay)  STARS Nina Foch, Stephen Crane, Osa Massen COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English  STUDIO Columbia Pictures GENRES Horror Streaming on: YouTube The plot: A young Romani woman turns into a wolf because that's the coolest fucking way to destroy your enemies. Random observations:  There aren't enough female werewolf movies Come on, Hollywood! (Or Pittsburgh!) The ones that we have are great, but they don't come out often enough. #gimmemoregingersnaps This film marks the first appearance of a female as a werewolf in a talkie! WTG, Nina Foch! (You might remember her from An American in Paris.) The setting is in New Orleans, Louisiana but is very recognizable as a Hollywood backlot.  Twice-married-to Lana Turner leading man Stephen Crane is really the only actual terrible thing about this movie. It often feels like he's
