I had a nice birthday. While the number 48 does not hold any particular significance for me (and only has the factors of four twos and a three), it still felt like a milestone. Perhaps this is because I thought of myself as being 47 for nearly two years. Perhaps I just like the combination of six times eight. Whatever the reason, it feels good to be 48.
My annual movie marathon was of the Spider-Man movies; although we stopped short of watching Far from Home. Perhaps we can revisit the last two Avengers movies and then watch it to put Tom Holland's Spider-Man in proper perspective. I'm still glad that Katrina pushed me to watch Homecoming so we could end the marathon on a high note. That second Amazing Spider-Man is quite depressing (and probably why that series came to an end).
Still, I liked both of the Amazing Spider-Man movies more on this viewing than I had before, especially the first one. I think that this was only my second time watching either of them, and I'm glad that I liked them more on this viewing. The same is true for the first Spider-Man movie. I have always liked it, but I liked it even more than I remembered liking it before. Sadly, I liked Spider-Man 2 (with Doc Ock) less than I remember liking it; in the past, it had been my favorite Spider-Man movie, but I find it harder to watch every time--probably because it makes me dislike MJ so much by the end. Meanwhile, Spider-Man 3 is still absolute trash. The only thing I appreciated was just how many memes have been generated from this movie. I think that I can safely say that I will never willingly watch that movie again.
Now, I just need to go see No Way Home again.
