I'm stoned and watching the new Venom movie (I can't even remember if I've seen the second one) and man but Tom Hardy sure knows how to have fun in a role.

I'll be honest I don't have much idea what's going on but they're having fun in the Area 51 secret labs so I'm basically sold

Every time Venom folds back up behind Tom Hardy he is doing the physical comedy equivalent of an alien buttprobe joke with his expression. Bruce Campbell walked so that he could run

Chiwetel Ejiofor is in this movie trying to provide military seriousness energy and he's phoning it in so far, but admittedly that's a bit of a pointless task in a movie this silly. You're better than this Chiwetel but I know a man's gotta get paid

I didn't think much of the weird opposing alien monster design but it does eat people in a pretty cool way

I still can't figure out whether other people can hear Venom or not (I assume not but of course everyone pauses so that Venom can crack a joke). The jokes are bad enough that I can totally believe everyone is just ignoring him and hoping he'll go away.

seems a perfect opportunity to share this fan theory

This man compares the movie's Ratatouille and Venom: A member of another species with a love of good food meets a mess of a human who's down on his luck living in a terrible apartment. The creature can control the guy's actions, and though the man is unwilling at first, they learn to cooperate to stop an evil rich man trying to take them down. Hamish Steel opines: I bet if they made Ratatouille 2, it would be Ratatouille: International and they would have entered a cookery contest meeting chefs from around the world who all had different rats in their hats, like sushi rat and Guy Fieri rat and a Germany rat called Ratwurst. Ryan opines: This may be controversial to some of you, but Ratatouille would demolish Stuart Little in a fight and it wouldn't even be close.
