📽️ Watched Notting Hill.
As cute as it was when it was released. We were all so much younger in 1999, weren’t we? Hugh Bonneville is extra young here, all black hair and awkwardness. A far cry from the Earl of Grantham and Mr. Brown!
🎥 Watched Home Again.

📽️ Watched Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Oh my goodness did I enjoy this one. Spidey has been my second favorite superhero since I started reading comics (Kitty Pryde being my first) because he’s nerdy and quippy. This movie did a great job of capturing his essential kid-ness. There were some really beautiful examples of what in my as-yet-unpublished Buffy podcast I call “The Spider-Man Problem” (and Sailor Moon did this in between Spidey and Buffy): the problem of having great power and thus great responsibility while also trying to live a normal teen life. This movie does a nice job of showing how Peter Parker is able to eventually strike a balance, but only after many initial mishaps. (He tends to err on the side of prioritizing being a hero over being a teen, while Buffy often goes the other way. I could talk forever about how each of them is a better whatever they prefer because they are also the other thing.)
Highly recommend, though not as stand-alone from other MCU films as I would like.
