They're doing a Venom sequel? They're going to make poor Tom Hardy be in another one?

They're also doing another movie in that universe, a Morbius the Living Vampire film starring Jared Leto. It's actually been done since 2019, was supposed to release last year, but now they're waiting until after Venom 2 because they think Venom 2 will be a bigger deal. Also they're fliming a TV series set in the same universe starring Silk later this year.
The first movie did an absurd 856 million dollars at the box office on a 100 million dollar budget, so yeah, they're gonna shit out as much of it as they can.

I would really like to know the demographics of people who saw it. I am going to talk out of my ass and guess its largest market are tweens. My 12 year old students here liked it when it came out. "Aaron, do you like Venom?" Yeah kid, I did, once.

I saw it.
I see all the Marvel Movies in the theater.
It’s disposable entertainment, like video games. I’d love for them to release more comic films that were, well, good. But until then I’ll enjoy my trash films.

Pretty sure I saw Venom on a plane. Being held hostage 30,000 feet in the air was about the only way it was gonna happen. Venom (and all of its stupid knockoffs) has always been a garbage character but if it means Tom Hardy is flush and can do whatever he wants, I don't mind. Give the kids and the Chinese their 90s edgelord Spiderman.

Gays and lesbians. Seriously. There's apparently a pretty overt dom/sub allegory throughout the movie, and once word got out, all they gays went on a gay parade to watch the gay Spider-Man movie. My question is why they didn't get a real gay guy and a real extra terrestrial dom to play those roles.

I'll keep workin' at it.
Although honestly, Kid's response was more meaningful than useless internet points.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part
Brilliant sequel that continues the story of the first film (Duplo invasion!) and reaches a very satisfying and heartfelt conclusion. LEGO silliness aside (a starship crewed by velociraptors!), it's really a story about a little sister just wanting her older brother to love and play with her (I've got three younger sisters, so, that speaks to me). Wonderful LEGO designs throughout (man, I want the sets based on this film now). Batman even finds love. Lots of fun cameos and inside jokes. End credits and soundtrack are awesome and the making-of bonus featurette was cool too. 10/10 bricks.

It will probably be Taiso writing an unhinged rant about Conan x Gundam, or how Robotech from the 1980s was the closest representation of human freedom.
