TET: The Extraterrestrial Thread

fiber, it is good for you.

Oh, go eat a newspaper. It's basically the same thing.

I remember it as being OK, but nothing special. But since it was 15 or 20 years ago, there's no telling how accurate that memory is, or even if the food they serve now is the same as the food they served back then.

Great progress has been made in the field of food technology. Did you know that it is totally legitimate in the States to use processed wood pulp as an ingredient in food products? It's true!

I did know that. Stuff like that is probably why over-processed food doesn't keep you full like it should and I feel crappy if I eat it too much.

[The Holy Therns]

I hated this movie. I hated this movie. I hated this movie.

I've endured many bad films, whether they're "so bad it's good" (Such as 2000's Dungeons & Dragons, featuring Academy-Award Winner Jeremy Irons as an overacting archmage.), merely mediocre (Such as 2016's La La Land, featuring Emma Stone as a wannabe actress and Ryan Gosling as a smug piano-playing turnip.), or so fundamentally awful that they make you feel unbridled rage (Such as 2007's Taking Five, featuring two actresses that no one cares about playing utter psychopaths, and a boy band you've never heard of playing a boy band with no charisma that everyone loves for some reason.). This... cinematic thing, on the other hand, defies comprehension.

That thing is, of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming. A film which everyone else seems to like, but that makes me frustrated and angry beyond any reasonable measure.

It should have worked, the key word being should, but the film made me cringe from how terrible the end result was. Or, at least, the parts I saw. You see, I managed to endure the mental anguish of the film's first act. However, I eventually reached my breaking point; I couldn't endure any more of this abomination, and so I quietly walked out of the theater in a state of utter mental disgust. Unlike my normal reviews, where I summarize the film with a rating score, I won't do that. All I can say is... NO.

Verdict: Don't see this film. Don't let your friends or family see it, either.

In other words, how's everyone?

Why?

C'mon, a little pulp doesn't hurt. I should know, I read Barsoom.

In other news, how's everyone?

If everybody else loves it and you don't, perhaps you have the bad opinion. It was a great movie.

In other words, how's everyone?

Why?

The pacing was off, the acting was cringe inducing, the writing wasn't good, the cinematography was... okay, I guess, the editing needed major improvements, the opening was somewhat confusing, about half of the characters were insufferable, the "humor" if you can call it that, wasn't funny, and the film was somehow worse than The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

At least all that cellulose is not bad for you. It's not good either, by the way. It has no nutritional value to speak of, it's literally filler. Ok, there's the fiber issue, but that's about the only positive thing that can be said about it.

Uhm, cellulose is a major component in all green plants.

indeed, and is generally consdiered indigestable. As the article points out, its wood pulp that is the issue including in aunt jemima syrup

Well, that's what happens when you eat fake syrup.

Yeah, that's one of the few things on that list that I actually eat. They're not as good as real waffles, but they're just soooooo much less messy to make.

Well, someone must be eating that stuff or they wouldn't keep making it.

I blame Kannap

It was an amazing movie. Literally the best spiderman we've seen in film so far. Toby Mcguire's character trashed the spiderman concept and Andrew Garfield's character was a decent attempt to erase that.

Uhm, cellulose is a major component in all green plants.

Yeah, but the trick here is that many of the trees that were traditionally grown and harvested for the paper industry are now processed as an ingredient for food products. Apparently wood cellulose can actually replace the feel and sensation of fat in edibles, which does seem to be a significant advantage.

[Kannap]

Well, someone must be eating that stuff or they wouldn't keep making it.

I blame Kannap

I didn't see a single thing on that list that I eat.

Maybe Swag is one of those people who actually liked the latest Fantastic Four movie, or even all the Fantastic Four movies! Fox desperately tries to avoid the return of those fictional characters to Disney/Marvel, so they are planning a Doctor Doom movie in order to keep the rights. Somewhere in the coming centuries Fox shall be able to make a halfway decent Fantastic Four movie and actually make a bit of a profit for once!
