Venom Looks Good But Doesn't Feel Good

Mixed feelings for Sony's new Venom

So I couldn't help myself. I have been telling myself not to watch anything new for the new Venom movie, but, of course, I cave in and watch the latest trailer anyways. For those who don't really know what this is about, allow me to help. Venom is a movie about a journalist, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who tries to uncover the truth behind Life Foundation but comes into contact with an alien life form called a symbiote. This ultimately grants him amazing powers as long as he shares his body with the symbiote.

Not that a trailer could really give away much about an entire movie *cough cough* this new Venom trailer gives me a little more hope for it. Personally, I never was really convinced from the first few trailers that this movie will be great. Yeah…I think the way Venom looks is freaking amazing and leagues better than what we saw in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. It truly baffles me how they let that series go from amazing in "Spider-Man 2" too embarrassing in "Spider-Man 3", but that's for another time. I think I should note that my opinions on this Venom are purely from a movie standpoint, and my knowledge of Venom, as a character, is limited to what he did with Spider-Man. But even if that were the case, I don't know if Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is supposed to sound the way he does in this movie. I love Tom Hardy as an actor, but I don't know about this one. But honestly, it's just that his portrayal of Eddie Brock isn't matching up to what I have always imagined Eddie Brock to be like. The weird part is that I think he fits the looks of Eddie Brock very well. It's just the way he speaks that just seems to bother me, but, again, I'm only limited to what the trailer has shown. Maybe the movie will convince me otherwise. At the very least, Venom sounds great. You can tell a majority of the focus went into perfecting Venom, and they do an excellent job with it from what I can see, and he is definitely the biggest component that I can't wait to see. Hope this one does well!

Venom release everywhere October 5, 2018. It's directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less, Gangster Squad) and stars Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, The Peaky Blinders, Mad Max), Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman, Blue Valentine, Shutter Island) Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers, White Men Can't Jump, True Detective), and Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Jason Bourne, The Night Of).

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
