Last night was a long-overdue quarantine watch party for Venom. I’ve mentioned Venom before, but these are my viewing notes for the movie.
Side Note: The first time I saw Tom Hardy was in Star Trek: Nemesis, which is a guilty pleasure of mine. So yeah, I know, <slow-witted voice>”But Star Trek Nemesis sucks, man!”</slow-witted voice> Regardless, Hardy showed me something in that movie.
Second Side Note: The “technical difficulties” to which I refer below are just commercial breaks I can’t fast forward. Even though I’m on commercial free Hulu, I still get commercials when streaming from an established network like FX. The commercial breaks are five minutes long, and I’m trying to keep up with the other attendees at the quarantine watch party. Sort of ruined it for me.
Outside of combat, what superhero (in the movies) rides a motorcycle? I can’t think of any. Does it have to do with the fact that Venom is an anti-hero? Directors and screenwriters make these choices intentionally.
“Heights aren’t really my thing.” Foreshadowing.
It’s funny how the ambushing journalist is presented as the good guy despite us not really knowing how much of a bad guy the mark is.
“What you did got me fired.” No, what *you* did got you fired and should get you disbarred.
Killing all of those people at the market seemed unnecessary.
Due to technical difficulties, there’s a gap in my viewing here. You’re welcome.
“This is First Contact.”
Nice special effects on the “possession.”

Now that the symbiote is inside him, Eddie is superhuman, yet he doesn’t seem to be asking himself why. I guess he’s more concerned with the bullets that are flying by his head. You’d think he’d have some time while hanging out in that tree.
I’ve been that thirsty before.
When the voices in your head say, “Do not open the door,” you … call a shrink.
Technical difficulties. Dammit. Way too many commercials.
“My legs are broken and now they’re not. What’s happening?” Has Eddie never seen an action movie before?
Awww, what a cute kid … WTF?!
Even more “technical difficulties.”
I can’t wait to see Venom face Spidey.
There’s a lot more character development in this movie than I appreciated the first time around.
Bye bye, puppy.
I really wish the villain didn’t always have the same powers as the (anti-)hero. It’s trite at this point.
Freaking technical difficulties.
This has to be the weirdest fight scene I’ve ever seen. Sure, the special effects are great, but this is just weird. But I like it.
Superhero movies have no concern for the economic damage the characters cause. 🙂
Damn, that was one hell of a Stan Lee cameo.
Tater tots? Who does Venom think he is? Napoleon Dynamite?
If I had a voice in my head, I wonder if I could suppress my instinct to reply out loud. Of course, I hope I never find out.
Carnage is coming.
And that’s a wrap on the quarantine watch party.
