COMIC BOOK REFERENCES & EASTER EGGS - Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
For me personally, while Spider-Man: Far From Home is a great film, it was made even better by the many Easter eggs and comic book references Jon Watts crammed into it—especially the really obscure ones! The following is a guide to all the ones I’ve spotted along with any deviations from the source material (I will update this as more come to light). Note that owing to the convoluted and complex nature of comic books, I’ve tried to include only the most essential information regarding a character’s history and backstories.
In the comics, Aunt May has worked for F.E.A.S.T. (Food, Emergency Aid, Shelter, and Training), an organization that helps the homeless. This is alluded to in the film, with her cinematic counterpart working at a Salvation Army homeless shelter.
A poster featuring Crusher Hogan and advertising a $100 prize can be seen in the kitchen of the homeless shelter. Crusher Hogan is the wrestler Peter Parker beats in Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962), with $100 being the amount he earns for doing so. And while partially obscured, another name that’s listed could be Bone Saw McGraw, the wrestler Peter fights in the 2002 film Spider-Man.
A Piazza New York Mets flag can be seen in Peter’s room (it was also there in Spider-Man: Homecoming), indicating that he’s a fan, something he has in common with his comic book counterpart. This is revealed in Peter Parker: Spider-Man #33 (2001) in which we find out that Uncle Ben often took a young Peter to see the baseball team play.
The suitcase Peter uses bears the initials BFP, referring to Benjamin Parker (his middle name has yet to be canonically revealed), Peter’s uncle.
Ned Leeds and Betty Brant become a couple in the film. In the comics, Ned and Betty also dated each other before marrying in The Amazing Spider-Man #156 (1976). Note that the MCU version of Ned isn’t necessarily meant to be based on Ned Leeds, merely taking his name while being modeled after Ganke.
Two new characters at Peter’s school are derived from the comics. In both media, Mr Del (spelt “Dell” in the film) is a teacher at Peter’s school (he’s specifically a science teacher in the comic books). The cinematic version of Brad Davis competes with Peter for MJ’s attention. In the source material, he was a quarterback at Empire State University who went out on a date with MJ.
Far From Home sees Mysterio pretending to be a hero and tricking the public into believing Spider-Man is a criminal, which is essentially the story told in his debut issue—The Amazing Spider-Man #13 (1964). In the comics, Quentin Beck/Mysterio was a movie special effects artist and stuntman who sought a quick path to fame by trying to frame and kill Spider-Man. Though he doesn’t posses any powers, Beck’s costume contains various weaponry he can employ in combat. Parts of his suit can emit a smokescreen and hallucinogenic gas, which he often uses in tandem with his hologram projectors to disorient his foes. The crystal ball-esque helmet he dons—that he can see out of, but others can’t see into—contains a sonar device that allows him to “see” through the smoke around him. His gloves can dispel a web-dissolving acid, while his cape would electrically shock anyone who touched it.
In the film, Quentin Beck says he’s from Earth 833, while Peter’s reality is Earth Dimension 616. This follows the multiverse naming convention used in the comics. The mainstream Marvel Universe is known as Earth-616, Earth-833 is where Billy Braddock/Spider-UK comes from, while the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been designated Earth-199999. For those curious, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy takes place in Earth-96283, while Marc Webb’s two Spidey films are set in Earth-120703.
Though not a direct adaption of anything from the source material, the stealth suit Nick Fury gives Peter in the movie was inspired by two costumes from the comics: the black costume worn by Spider-Man Noir and the stealth costume (which has a camouflage mode) Peter develops early on in the “Big Time” (The Amazing Spider-Man #648-656, 2010-11) story arc.
In the comics, the Elementals are a group of beings that hail from another universe, each of who can control one of the elements. Hellfire has mastery over flames, Hydron can command water, Magnum is able to manipulate earth, and Zephyr has power over air. For the film, however, director Jon Watts decided to amalgamate the concept of the Elementals with some of Spidey’s classic foes.
The MCU earth Elemental takes some inspiration from Sandman. Flint Marko, having escaped from prison, hides on a beach where nuclear tests are conducted. After a nuclear explosion, he finds his body has taken on the properties of sand.
The water Elemental is based on Hydro-Man. During a battle between Spider-Man and Namor on board the U.S.S. Bulldog, crewman Morris “Morrie” Bench was knocked overboard, falling into the water just as an experimental generator was being tested. The energy from the device combined with underwater volcanic gases granted him the ability to turn his body into water. In the film, Hydro-Man’s origin story from the comics is cited by Flash as a possible explanation for the existence of the water Elemental.
The lava Elemental resembles Molten Man. Mark Raxton’s skin turned to metal after he’s covered with a liquid metal alloy that was created from substances found inside a meteor. He finds that he now has super strength, possesses skin that is highly resistant to injury, and is also able to generate intense heat, giving his body a molten form.
The air Elemental, meanwhile, could be based on Cyclone. Andre Gerard was an engineer who invented a weapon known as the Cyclone. With NATO not wanting to use his creation, he instead incorporated the technology into a suit that could create high-speed winds around him.
Despite the film not featuring direct adaptations of Sandman, Hydro-Man, Molten Man, and Cyclone, the debut issues of each character are referenced in Far From Home. When Fury and Maria Hill are shooting the earth Elemental the numbers 462 can be seen as part of a car’s number plate (The Amazing Spider-Man #4, 1963; Sandman’s first appearance), Fury’s car in Prague bears the number plate “ASM 28965” (The Amazing Spider-Man #28, 1965, which was published in September; Molten Man’s first appearance), an overturned car on Tower Bridge has “TASM 143” as its plate (The Amazing Spider-Man #143, 1975; Cyclone’s first appearance), and though not in the final cut of film—but present in the trailers—“Asm 212” can be seen on a boat in Venice (The Amazing Spider-Man #212, 1981; Hydro-Man’s first appearance).
Speaking of number plates, the one on the car Fury drives in Berlin is “MTU 83779,” a reference to Marvel Team-Up #83 published in July 1979. The issue sees Spider-Man and Nick Fury team up against Silver Samurai and Boomerang. In addition to being Cyclone’s debut issue, The Amazing Spider-Man #143 (1975) is also the issue in which Peter and MJ first kiss—hence the “TASM 143” number plate appearing on screen when Peter and MJ kiss in the film. The number plate on Aunt May’s car, unchanged from Homecoming, is “AMF 1562,” a nod to Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962). And lastly, in the post-credits scene we see the number plate of Talos’ car: “HNM 62011.” This is a reference to Hawkeye & Mockingbird #6 (2011) in which a Skrull impersonating Nick Fury is discovered.
This cinematic incarnation of MJ reveals to Peter that she knows he’s Spider-Man, with her comic book counterpart having done the same in The Amazing Spider-Man #257 (1984).
While the zombie Iron Man we see in the film was merely an illusion, there actually does exist a zombie Iron Man in the comics. This version of the character hails from Earth-2149 where all the Marvel heroes have been turned into zombies.
Though it is a newspaper in the mainstream comic continuity, The Daily Bugle is a news website in the film. Both iterations, though, have an anti-Spider-Man slant. In the Ultimate Universe, however, the publication did go digital-only, doing so in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #11 (2010). The website in the issue is dailybugle.com; in the film it’s thedailybugle.net.
In the comics, J. Jonah Jameson is the executive editor and publisher of The Daily Bugle. What’s significant about the MCU incarnation of the character is that he’s played by J. K. Simmons, who portrayed the character in Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy!
Spider-Man’s identity has been revealed in the comics—accidentally or otherwise—to members of the public several times. The MCU has Mysterio do this, but in Civil War #2 (2006) Peter himself willingly does so at a news conference as a way of showing his support of the Superhuman Registration Act.
And while not exactly a reference to the comic books themselves, in Venice the students stay at Hotel DeMatteis, a nod to J. M. DeMatteis who has written many Spider-Man comics. Additional shout-outs to Spidey writers come in the form of signs that can be seen in the city: Calle Bendiso (Brian Michael Bendis), Calle Slotto (Dan Slott), Calle Sterno (Roger Stern), Calle Michelinio (David Michelinie), and Calle G. Convayo (Gerry Conway).
In terms of references to the wider MCU, the biggest would have to be Tony Stark’s death, which occurred at the end of Avengers: Endgame. Pictures of him, along with Captain America, Black Widow, and Vision can be seen as part of the in memoriam video a student at Midtown School of Science & Technology creates. The disappearance and return of half the universe’s population is referred to as “the blip.” Happy Hogan hands May a large cheque for the homeless shelter signed by Pepper Potts. Videos about the Snap, Wakanda, Hydra, Einstein Rosen Bridges (featuring Erik Selvig), and Iron Man can be seen as part of the in-flight entertainment. Various other heroes are also named-dropped: Thor (who’s offworld), Doctor Strange (who’s unavailable to help Fury), and Captain Marvel (Fury tells Peter to not invoke her name). We find out that Quentin Beck was the one who invented B.A.R.F., and was present backstage at MIT during Stark’s demonstration of it in Captain America: Civil War. William—who we first met in Iron Man—has joined Beck in his revenge against Stark. At one point, Fury mentions the presence of Kree sleeper cells, and that this information was top secret. And in the post-credits scene we find out that Talos and his wife, Soren, have been impersonating Fury and Maria Hill respectively during the course of the film.

� TV SERIES A television show (often simply TV show) is any content produced for broadcast via over-the-air, satellite, cable, or internet and typically viewed on a television set, excluding breaking news, advertisements, or trailers that are typically placed between shows. Television shows are most often scheduled well ahead of time and appear on electronic guides or other TV listings. A television show might also be called a television program (British English: programme), especially if it lacks a narrative structure. A television series is usually released in episodes that follow a narrative, and are usually divided into seasons (US and Canada) or series (UK) — yearly or semiannual sets of new episodes. A show with a limited number of episodes may be called a miniseries, serial, or limited series. A one-time show may be called a “special”. A television film (“made-for-TV movie” or “television movie”) is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video. Television shows can be viewed as they are broadcast in real time (live), be recorded on home video or a digital video recorder for later viewing, or be viewed on demand via a set-top box or streamed over the internet. 📺 HISTORY TV SERIES The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1930s. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 1936 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The 1916 World Series inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 1918, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “Mr Television” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 1, 1951 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. The first national color broadcast (the 1951 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 1, 1951. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 1962, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season. 📺 Formats and Genres See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional series). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game shows.[citation needed] A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode, it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 1980s, many series feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television series to have this kind of dramatic structure,[1][better source needed] while the later series Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intended five-season run.[citation needed] In 2012, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[5] Some also noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 2012, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television. 📺 Thanks for watching Find all the movies that you can stream online, including those that were screened this week.

The Shape of Water Q&A at AMC Lincoln Square
Went to see The Shape of Water on opening night at the AMC Lincoln Square, and was lucky enough to stick around for the Q&A afterwards with the Director Guillermo Del Toro, Doug Jones (the Asset/Amphibian Man), Octavia Spencer (Zelda Fuller), and Michael Stuhlbarg (Dr. Robert Hoffstetler). The Q&A was really enlightening and the moderator asked some great questions but sadly only one audience question was answered before they ran out of time. More about the film below:
The Film’s Genesis, Setting & Major Themes
The Shape of Water first came about when Guillermo watched The Creature From the Black Lagoon for the first time when he was six. There was a pivotal scene where he saw Julie Andrews’ character swimming underneath the sea creature, and Guillermo essentially shipped the pair and wanted them to end up together. Evidently when they didn’t, he was very salty about it hahaha.
So, Guillermo told himself “One day, I’ll fix it.” Granted, he joked that “It took me 46 years”, but better late than never he supposes.
When Guillermo started seriously working on the film idea, he had been trying it in different forms and ideas, but it wasn’t until 2011 where he had his real first breakthrough with the storyline, after sitting down for lunch with an author friend Daniel Kraus (who he also co-wrote the novel with). He told Kraus about his story featuring an amphibian man, and after bouncing back and forth with various ideas, they locked in on a specific idea of a janitor taking the amphibian man home as a plot point.
Guillermo stated: "This was the key and the way into the story, because if you go in with the government agent or the scientist, it's the same bullshit, but if you go through the service door with the cleaners and the janitors, that's already, politically, a very different statement."
For Guillermo, the film was: "always about giving a voice to the voiceless,” which is immediately noticeable by the fact in the trailer, the two most prominent voices, one who is the narrator and the other who is speaking on Elisa’s behalf, are Octavia Spencer and Richard Jenkins’ characters, a black woman and closeted gay man respectively, who traditionally would have had their voices silenced in this era.
The Shape of Water is set in 1962, a year that Guillermo acknowledges is a year often viewed with rose-colored lenses, in which conversations about a time period in which America was “great,” is commonly cited as the 1950s and 1960s.
However, Guillermo wanted to show that this was more of a “hollow pasture/green” in which this idea of America being “great” during the 1960s was really a hollow illusion, because “if you weren’t the right gender or race during this era, you were really on the other side of the fence.” He specifically cites that 1962 was really “the end of that dream when JFK is assassinated, the War in Vietnam escalates, and you have this negative space in wider society created by Madison Ave.”
Sally Hawkins’ Involvement
In 2011, Del Toro immediately sent a message to Sally Hawkins' agent letting her know that he was writing a movie for her, and the agent said “sure!” and that he’d let her know.
But it really wouldn’t be until 2013 where Hawkins got on board. Guillermo said that during the night of the Golden Globes afterparty(?), some friends called him up to get out of the house and mingle together.
Guillermo was initially reluctant to attend, preferring to watch the rest of Antique Roadshows instead (LOL) but was eventually dragged out....where he then promptly ordered 40 shots of tequila at the venue (Omfg Guillermo plz...)
Later when he was leaving, Guillermo spotted Sally Hawkins near the exit and allegedly ran up to shout at her “I’m writing a movie for you....where you fall in love with a fish!” Though, Sally was apparently a great sport about it and simply replied: “That’s great!”
Doug Jones’ Involvement and His Working Relationship with Del Toro
Jones discussed that this is his sixth film that he’s collaborated with Guillermo on, having also previously collaborated on the television show, The Strain, together. Guillermo first told Jones that he had a creature role for him, but presented it with a certain gravitas, specifically emphasizing that Jones would be the romantic lead.
Guillermo wanted Jones to channel something more "raw" and "animal," but "throw in a bit of matador with sexiness and leaning in with the pelvis." This was coupled along with the backstory that the Asset/Amphibian Man was "worshiped by the locals like a God in the Amazon."
So, Jones stated that it was important for the Asset/Amphibian Man to hold himself with a level of regalness and superhero-esque stance, since "the mystery was whether or not the Asset/Amphibian Man has powers."
But the Asset/Amphibian Man is important because “his presence is one in which he changes everyone around him.” Such as when he helps Hoffstelter in getting back his real name, Dimitri, back for the first time, or when he helps Zelda realize that her marriage is over.
Elisa’s relationship with the Asset/Amphibian Man also helps the audience realize that her “beauty is one that develops profoundly over the course of the film, yet at the same time, she’s an individual that could be sitting next to you on the bus.”
Jones notes that "the challenge was creating a love story between a creature and a young lady, and making it feasible and plausible."
Jones also stated that fine artist Mike Hill bought in a great artistry with the Asset/Amphibian Man’s character design to make him the "most beautiful, sexy, appealing monster that I have ever been in my entire life."
At this point, Octavia Spencer interjected to reiterative to the audience, "He had a great butt, guys." And everyone basically started howling in laughter, but in total, unanimous agreement lolol.
Working on a Guillermo Del Toro Set
The moderator pointed out that there’s usually not much CGI or anything of that nature. “These are practical sets with practical effects.”
Octavia stated that Guillermo “has a beautiful eye for detail, and the beauty you saw was what we felt.” When the pair met up for the first time to talk about the film, they bonded over their mutual love for antiques.
Octavia noted that the sets were” elaborate, but in a real person sort of way, very practical, in a way that you wanted to purchase things from it."
Michael noted: “Everything were there. Every track on the floor, no green screen at all. So instead of having something conjured in your mind of what you think something is about, you had it right in front of you. It’s very immediate and extraordinary. It was really quite extraordinary."
Octavia Spencer on Zelda Fuller’s Characterization
Octavia stated that she's played several characters like Zelda in this era (1950s-1960s), but The Shape of Water was the first time where she felt that she played a character with agency.
She noted: "You know that I'm a black woman, and the history of our country in 1962, but Guillermo made it so I didn't have to play in those circumstances, and made it so I got to act as a regular woman who finally felt contemporary. I'm in a relationship that I don't feel appreciated in, and that's literally all I talk about.”
However, Octavia noted that her role as Zelda actally felt empowering and “I know that sounds crazy, but it did. But it did feel empowering for the first time where I didn't have to play my gender or my circumstances of my ethnicity in this particular role.”
Guillermo interjected at this point that these racial and gender dynamics do come into play with the tense confrontation scenes between Michael Shannon and Octavia Spencer’s characters (Zelda and Strickland) in the laboratory bathroom and later in Zelda’s house.
For Strickland and Zelda, in terms of black-and-white morality, Guillermo noted that they’re basically on complete opposite sides of the spectrum, and everyone else polarizes around this spectrum. Everyone changes around Strickland, and this was what Guillermo felt made him a particularly interesting character. He then joked that the scene featuring Strickland's meeting with General Hoyt is comparable to meetings he’s previously had with Hollywood studio executives early on in his career.
Michael Stuhlbarg on Dr. Robert Hoffstelter’s Characterization
The moderator pointed out that the second most compassionate character in the movie is probably Dr. Hoffstelter, a Russian agent and Soviet spy in the Cold War. He then asked Michael about what initial conversations he had with Guillermo about Hoffstelter. He responded that Guillermo is “one of the most remarkable, whirlwind aritsts that I’ve ever met.”
Michael noted that at the first day of shooting, Guillermo handed him, and most of the main cast, these “three to four page biographies about our characters. About how Hoffstelter was, what he'd been through to get him to that point in the start of the movie, what books he read, what food he loved, what food he had to learn to love in America, and so on. It was astounding and you can tell really how much Guillermo loved these characters to the core.”
Michael did his best to use as much of this character biography template as he could in the film, and Guillermo then interjected to reference the scene where Hoffstelter is ironing his own pants as an example.
Guillermo also encouraged Stuhlbarg to draw a lot on-set, and the drawings that you see of the Asset/Amphibian Man in the film are actually Stuhlbarg's own drawings that were used.
The Main Cast on Working with Sally Hawkins as a Scene Partner
Jones noted that “not having a verbal language was a challenge and a beauty all at the same time,” since “words can be so polluted but a touch or a look of an eye isn't. It's very pure, honest, and true." His mime background was one he found particularly helpful for this film.
For the dance number scene he had with Hawkins, Jones admitted that he’s not much of a dancer and he and Hawkins had only three weeks to prepare. Jones claimed that he was "Ginger Rogers, but with flippers," whereas Hawkins was meant to channel Fred Astaire.
But working with Sally was a delight, since “her soul is right here for you,” and the main cast had already built a strong mutual trust and bond by the time filming started.
Octavia described Sally as “painfully shy,” but once you get to know her, “she’s the funniest person and has a beautiful sense of humor. She’s one of the biggest artistic talents that I know.”
Octavia noted that along with Sally, pretty much with the main cast, “we all had to fall in love with one another, since you can't fake chemistry. What you see between all of us is real. A bond that happened naturally.” Octavia admitted that she feels very fortunate that “we are still this way to each other, even after shooting finished.”
In Octavia’s case, she and Sally really bonded when they took sign language classes together prior to filming, and that’s how they got to really know each other.
Guillermo Del Toro on Sally Hawkin’s Characterization of Elisa Esposito
It was revealed that Guillermo asked Sally to watch silent films to help prepare for the role of Elisa Esposito, particularly Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton films. When drafting the film, Guillermo knew for certain that he wanted Elisa to have a monologue and dance number.
Michael praised Sally’s talent for improvisation, citing the scenes where Elisa is mopping around, since “you know everything about Elisa, even when her back is turned.”
Guillermo particularly praised Sally during the powerful scene where Elisa initially enlists Richard Jenkins’ character (Giles)’s help to rescue the Asset/Amphibian Man. Essentially there is a “triple monologue” going on, where you see the words pretty much written over Elisa’s face, then you have the physical action of her signing the words to Richard, and then the epiphany seen on Richard’s face when he repeats Elisa’s words verbally for the audience.
The Most Compelling Part of the Story
The one audience question that was asked was in regards to the most compelling part of the movie for each panelist.
Michael Stuhlbarg stated that from the POV of his character, he noted that Hoffstelter “was a scientist first,” and subsequently had some divided loyalties that he really grapples with throughout the film. The character note from Guillermo that stuck out to Michael the most was that Hoffstelter was a character that wanted to die back home in Russia, not the US.
Michael was also just dazzled by the combination of different styles/genres in which Guillermo masterfully fuses magical realism, romance, and Cold War-style espionage thriller elements together, along with a homage to Old Hollywood musicals.
Octavia Spencer once again reiterated that the most compelling part of the film was being able to play a woman that had agency for the first time in this particular era. But when she also first met with Guillermo to talk about the film, she knew that “it was going to be a beautiful picture from the first page with Eliza sleeping underwater,” and she was very eager to see how Guillermo would execute this on-screen.
Octavia also called herself a “hopeless romantic” and “say what you will about the film,” but she loved the fact that Guillermo is saying that there’s still someone out there for everyone, with the romance at the very heart of the storyline.
Doug Jones loved the classic message of the underdog wins in the end with unsuspecting triumph. He particularly related to his character, the Asset/Amphibian Man, because there were times growing up as a gawky, long-limbed teenager where he felt like the “monster” in the room, and “is love out there for me?” was a question that he always asked himself. So, the message of “finding the beauty of the monster within you,” was one that was compelling to him.
Guillermo Del Toro had a sweet moment where he admitted that the most compelling part was that ‘you guys [the audience] showed up.”
Guillermo said that filmmakers often have to trust their instincts and one of the most valuable pieces of advice he got once from a former screenwriting teacher was: “Don’t make the movies you need, make the movies that need you to exist.”
Followed by a sobering moment where Guillermo confessed that as a filmmaker: “it’ll take three to four years of your life and you end up sacrificing a lot of your social and family life for an IMBd entry or a single slot on Netflix. So, making a movie is like “being part of an accident in slow motion,” in which filmmakers are never entirely sure about audience reception. But seeing the full house and the generous reception that he got after the opening night screening is what basically makes all the personal sacrifices, time, and effort all worth it in the end for Guillermo as a filmmaker.
#the shape of water#guillermo del toro#the shape of water q&a#sally hawkins#octavia spencer#doug jones#michael stuhlbarg#also at one point guillermo goes off topic to rant about how much he hates beauty and the beast#and 'fuck that stockholm shit' or something that like lolol#and octavia spencer makes eye contact with that person in the audience#and was like 'gurl tell your husband where ya at now and turn off the phone'#i do have video proof of octavia spencer reassuring us that amphibian man has a great butt in the movie#lmaooo#i'll try to see if i can compress the video i took#i got about half of the q&a before i ran out of storage noOoooo#and then somebody's phone went off#i'm still not over guillermo admitting to ordering 40 shots of tequila one time#like guillermo plz lol#celeb encounter series

� TV SERIES A television show (often simply TV show) is any content produced for broadcast via over-the-air, satellite, cable, or internet and typically viewed on a television set, excluding breaking news, advertisements, or trailers that are typically placed between shows. Television shows are most often scheduled well ahead of time and appear on electronic guides or other TV listings. A television show might also be called a television program (British English: programme), especially if it lacks a narrative structure. A television series is usually released in episodes that follow a narrative, and are usually divided into seasons (US and Canada) or series (UK) — yearly or semiannual sets of new episodes. A show with a limited number of episodes may be called a miniseries, serial, or limited series. A one-time show may be called a “special”. A television film (“made-for-TV movie” or “television movie”) is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video. Television shows can be viewed as they are broadcast in real time (live), be recorded on home video or a digital video recorder for later viewing, or be viewed on demand via a set-top box or streamed over the internet. 📺 HISTORY TV SERIES The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1930s. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 1936 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The 1916 World Series inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 1918, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “Mr Television” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 1, 1951 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. The first national color broadcast (the 1951 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 1, 1951. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 1962, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season. 📺 Formats and Genres See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional series). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game shows.[citation needed] A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode, it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 1980s, many series feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television series to have this kind of dramatic structure,[1][better source needed] while the later series Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intended five-season run.[citation needed] In 2012, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[5] Some also noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 2012, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television. 📺 Thanks for watching Find all the movies that you can stream online, including those that were screened this week. If you are wondering what you can watch on this website, then you should know that it covers genres that include crime, Science, Fi-Fi, action, romance, thriller, Comedy, drama and Anime Movie.

Marvel’s Avengers Characters: Every Playable Hero in the Game
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take center stage in Marvel’s Avengers, the new loot-based action-adventure game from Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics and publisher Square Enix. The game gives fans control of several of Marvel’s greatest heroes as they take on an evil tech corporation known as Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM), which has supplanted superheroes with its own robot army. Disbanded after a terrible disaster that claimed the life of Captain America, the heroes have to find a way to come together again to take down this new threat to the world and bring back the age of heroes to the Marvel universe.
Marvel’s Avengers features a diverse cast of heroes and villains, including cult-favorite baddie George Tarleton, better known as the superhuman and ugly force of nature MODOK. During your adventure, you’ll also meet former Ant-Man Hank Pym, have a run in with the Abomination, take on Taskmaster, get interviewed by Marvel’s top TV reporter Phil Sheldon, team up with SHIELD commander Maria Hill, and foil Monica Rappaccini’s evil experiments with terrigen gas and gamma radiation.
This big cast of characters — yes, Nick Fury is here, too! — makes Crystal Dynamics’ version of the Marvel universe feel complete and lived in. It’s clear that there’s a lot of history between these characters, as showcased by the game’s prelude tie-in comics, and it’s fun to watch all of these Marvel characters interact with each other throughout the story campaign.
With quite a few playable characters to choose from at launch, here’s a rundown of the game’s heroes, a little bit about their backstory in the game’s universe, and the sorts of powers and abilities you can expect from them:
Iron Man
First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #39 (1963)
If you enjoy zipping around the sky, high above the action, to rain down hell on your enemies, then Iron Man will definitely be your favorite character in this game. Equipped with a combination of long-range and close-range attacks, Iron Man provides a pretty balanced combat experience as long as you’re able to figure out the flying mechanics. You’ll definitely spend more time up in the air as this hero than any other.
If you’ve read the comics or watched the movies, you know that Tony Stark is a fast-talking and cocky tech mogul who always comes armed with a funny quip as well as a few explosives. But when his tech and weapons fall into the wrong hands at the start of the game, Tony decides to retreat from the world in shame, giving up his life as Iron Man.
Iron Man is voiced by Nolan North.
Thor
First Appearance: Journey into Mystery #83 (1962)
Thor is definitely more of a melee character, wreaking havoc on any AIM soldiers that dare get in his way. Armed with the powerful Mjolnir, Thor’s every move packs a punch and feels weighty. The god of thunder’s elemental powers also deliver devastating AoE damage. He’s definitely a character you’ll choose when you want to get into the baddies’ faces.
The god of thunder is also much more regal than the rest of the heroes and carries himself as true Asgardian royalty. That said, he’s still a fish out of water on Earth, which leads to some pretty funny situations in the game.
Thor is voiced by Travis Willingham.
Captain America
First Appearance: Captain America Comics #1 (1941)
Cap is the ultimate hero: brave, strong, kind, and always willing to put the lives of others over his own. He’s the leader of the Avengers for a reason and he inspires the rest of the characters to do their absolute for those they protect. So when Captain America tragically dies during a terrorist attack executed by Taskmaster, it’s not surprising that the superhero team falls apart. Without the world’s greatest hero, what hope does the planet have?
A scrappy brawler who uses punches and kicks to break through the enemy line, Captain America’s melee gameplay is complemented by his shield, which can auto-target baddies and take them out in one throw.
Captain America is voiced by Jeff Schine.
Black Widow
First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #52 (1964)
A gritty spy who isn’t exactly friendly but also has a heart of gold, Black Widow is your go-to hero for mid-range attacks as well as a nice mix of gravity-defying martial arts kicks. She packs dual pistols that do quite a bit of damage, especially after she levels them up with special status effects. Black Widow also has a very cool trick up her sleeve: an ability that grants her and the rest of the team invisibility for a short amount of time, perfect for when you’re surrounded by enemies and want to make quick work of them.
Black Widow is voiced by Laura Bailey.
Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel
First Appearance: Captain Marvel #14 (2013)
Avengers superfan Kamala Khan is the heart of the game’s story. After the terrorist attack unleashes the terrigen mist on the citizens of San Francisco, Kamala is forever altered, transformed into an Inhuman with incredible shape-shifting powers. But when AIM declares war on the Inhumans they believe to be a threat to the planet, Kamala is forced to keep her powers a secret — until one day she decides that Tarleton and his tech corporation must be stopped. Her plan? Reassemble the Avengers.
Kamala truly plays unlike any of the other heroes, her stretchy powers providing perhaps the most fun you’ll have in the game. Swinging around with her stretchy arms never gets old and her embiggening ultimate ability is the perfect way to turn the tide of any fight. She’s honestly the best.
Kamala Khan is voiced by Sandra Saad.
Hulk
First Appearance: The Incredible Hulk #1 (1962)
No one smashes things like the Hulk. Using this hero’s special rage meter in a fight means very bad news for the bad guys, as he punches and stomps his way through the ranks of AIM cannon fodder. Hulk can grab enemies, swing them around, or use their fragile bodies to hit other bad guys with. Best of all, you can pretty much wreck whole environments with the Hulk, who rarely holds back his strength. You’ll also do a fair amount of platforming as the big guy, which is unexpected but works well enough.
Like in the recent MCU movies, Bruce Banner feels very conflicted about the Hulk at the start of the game. He doesn’t really want to turn into the Hulk anymore but increasingly finds himself in situations that require him to go green. Together with Kamala, the two make a pretty charming duo early on in the story, as they try to solve the mystery behind Cap’s death.
The Hulk is voiced by Darin De Paul and Troy Baker (as Bruce Banner).
Coming Soon
The following characters are scheduled to be released some time after the game launches as DLC:
Kate Bishop/Hawkeye
First Appearance: Young Avengers #1 (2005)
Kate Bishop, the third Hawkeye in the comics, is working with SHIELD and is on a mission to find Clint Barton, the first Hawkeye, who has been captured by AIM. Initially a member of Marvel’s teenage superhero team, Young Avengers, Kate has joined the main Avengers team on several occasions in the comics.
Kate will be the first post-launch hero to join the roster, bringing new story missions, gear, and abilities with her.
Clint Barton/Hawkeye
First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #57 (1964)
The original Hawkeye will follow Kate. The announcement trailer for Kate Bishop also revealed that Clint has cut some sort of deal with AIM and seems to be working with the tech corporation. Of course, it’s likely that not all things are as they seem.
Spider-Man
First Appearance: Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962)
Spider-Man will swing his way to Marvel’s Avengers in 2021, and it’s no surprise that many fans are already anxious to play as the friendly neighborhood webslinger. There’s just one catch: not every one with a copy of Marvel’s Avengers will get the chance to play as Spider-Man.
As revealed in August, Square Enix is releasing Spider-Man as an exclusive character for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. This means that Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Stadia players won’t be able to play as Spider-Man at all when he finally launches. The good news is that PlayStation users will get the Spider-Man Marvel’s Avengers DLC at no additional cost to them.
Black Panther
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #52 (1966)
Crystal Dynamics teased a future Black Panther DLC that could bring T’Challa to the game at a later date. It seems that the studio originally planned to announce the character right before launch but it decided to delay the reveal out of respect for Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther star who sadly passed away in late August.

Carlisle Events’ 2019 Lakeland Winter AutoFest for Corvettes
Here is some good news for Corvette fans. If you live in the South or travel there to avoid harsh winters, Carlisle Events added the Winter AutoFest to their schedule. Many Corvette activities are embedded into this show’s schedule. It takes place at the Sun ’n Fun Expo Campus in Lakeland, Florida. It is a perfect place to park your Corvette and enjoy the many activities the show has to offer. This is the same company that presents the highly successful Corvettes at Carlisle show in Pennsylvania. The friendly and well-trained staff works hard to make your visit pleasant and enjoyable. Here is a little background about this unique company and how they expanded to Florida.
It began when Chip Miller and Bill Miller became friends in the early ’70s. The thing about their friendship is they shared the same last name, but were not related. Their business relationship grew over the years because they shared a passion for classic cars. They held their first automotive event at the Carlisle Fairgrounds (Pennsylvania) in 1974, and it was a rousing success. They began adding shows to their schedule and experienced rapid growth.
Chip and Bill created Carlisle Events in order to effectively manage this growth. Their next major decision was to create a permanent home for the company. In 1981, they purchased the 82-acre Carlisle Fairground site and made it the company’s headquarters. This purchase allowed them to make the Fairgrounds a more compatible location for their automotive events. During the ’80s and ’90s, the company continued to expand their schedule.
In 2013, Carlisle Events introduced itself to the Florida market by hosting events in Zephyrhills. Now, with Florida’s rapid growth, the company moved to the larger Sun ’n Fun complex in Lakeland, Florida. This year’s Lakeland Winter AutoFest was held on February 22-24, 2019, and was packed with Corvettes and visitors.
The 41st NCRS Winter Regional Meet was part of the Winter AutoFest activities and certified NCRS judges judged 42 Corvettes. A large hanger was used by the experts the judging. A total of 4,500 points are available for judges to award a Corvette. Ninety-four percent (4,230) of those points are the minimum required to qualify for a Top Flight certificate. Of the 42 Corvettes judged, 17 received Top Flight certificates. For owners who didn’t reach their goal they now have a good guideline on what needs correcting. People attending the show were welcome to visit the NCRS building, and many did. It was a great opportunity to closely inspect these factory-correct, historic Corvettes. In addition to the NCRS event, the show featured a Corvette Fun Field, Corvette Celebrity Judging, vendor displays and seven Corvette related seminars. There was a food midway, automotive flea market and a for sale car corral where buyers could purchase their perfect Corvette. The National Corvette Museum sold $10 raffle tickets for the opportunity to win a 2019 Corvette. The Winter AutoFest will return to Lakeland February 21-23, 2020. To get the latest show information visit www.carlisleevents.com.
Co-founder Chip Miller passed away in 2004. His son Lance Miller became co-owner and works with co-founder/co-owner Bill Miller Jr. to manage the company. Lance wants to continue his dad’s “Life is Good” mentality and legacy as the 21st century rolls forward. What started as a pair of automotive flea markets in the mid to late ’70s has spawned specialty show after specialty show. Their 2019 schedule includes 10 automotive events (including one in Lakeland) and four Carlisle Auctions (including one in Lakeland). The company has evolved from “cars in a field” to destination activities for individuals and families from around the world. Annually, more than half a million guests visit shows promoted by Carlisle Events. We encourage you to visit one of their Corvette shows in Pennsylvania or Florida … you will not be disappointed. Vette
This 1976 Corvette is shown entering the Lakeland Winter AutoFest entrance as it passes by a vintage World War II C-47 cargo plane. The plane serves as a gate guardian for the Sun ’n Fun Expo Campus at the Lakeland airport.
GM stylist and NCM Hall of Fame inductee Randy Wittine designed the paint scheme on this 1998 Indianapolis Pace Car. Fred Richards was awarded an NCRS Performance Verification award for his pace car.
Only 199 Corvettes were ordered in 1963 with the Z06 performance option. This Sebring Silver example owned by Ted Freund is one of them and was awarded Top Flight certification.
Jose Jorge Valencia received a Top Flight award for his Silver Pearl with red stinger 1967 427 coupe.
The Lakeland Sun ’n Fun airport provides ample parking for the many Corvettes that visited the event this year.
Roger and Connie Lester have traveled the around the U.S. in their 1962 Corvette. The custom trailer provides plenty of extra room for their luggage.
The Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction was a popular stop for buyers and spectators. Lots of interesting cars and trucks crossed the block throughout the weekend, and many found new homes.
James Davis brought his Harvest Gold V-8–powered 1955 Corvette to the 41st NCRS Winter Regional Meet. James received a Sportsman award for displaying his classic.
Tom DeBold’s fuel-injected 1960 roadster received a Stock Blue Ribbon after it was entered in the Concours Stock category.
The Corvette vs. Cobra War seminar discussed how each brand battled each other. Two cars were available for inspection. They were the Fabulous Restorations Owens/Corning L88 Corvette replica and Dr. Gingold’s 1965 427-cid Cobra.
Forty-two Corvettes were brought to the 41st NCRS Winter Regional Meet to get judged for coveted awards. John Secchiano’s 1967 427 coupe was awarded Top Flight.
NCRS judges inspect John Landis’ 1965 L78 396/425hp Corvette. John’s Corvette earned Top Flight.
The L78 396/425hp big-block in John Landis’ Corvette has been restored to look like it did when it left the St. Louis assembly plant in 1965.
James Henry purchased this one-owner 1967 coupe in 2010. It was damaged in a flood and did not run. James repaired it and has driven it around the country. He was presented with a Sportsman award.
The ’67 Corvette has amassed 245,000 miles since it was built. The unrestored original interior has held up surprisingly well.
The L75 327/300hp engine is backed with a two-speed Powerglide transmission and factory air conditioning. This car is a true survivor.
Bill Miller Jr. (co-founder/co-owner of Carlisle Events) spent much of his time watching over the collector car auction. Bill did an excellent job directing sellers and buyers to the right auction spots.
Mark Wiley drove 450 miles to bring his rare (1 of 4 produced) 1954 to the NCRS Winter Regional Meet for judging. Mark’s beautiful Corvette was awarded Top Flight with “longest driven” noted on his certificate.
This I-6/150hp six-cylinder engine in Mark Wiley’s 1954 Corvette had no oil stains even after being driven 450 miles to the NCRS Winter Regional Meet.
The large food court was a popular place to visit so attendees could buy a cold drink, snack or lunch.
Lance Miller (co-owner Carlisle Events) spent the weekend hosting social media events about the Winter AutoFest. Lance is shown conducting a live podcast to provide up to the minute information for those attending the show.
The Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction was a popular stop for buyers and spectators. Lots of interesting cars and trucks crossed the block throughout the weekend and many found new homes.
This large automotive flea market provided attendees plenty of shopping space to locate hard-to-find parts.
Carl Everett put his big-block 1969 Corvette convertible through the “as manufactured” Performance Verification testing process. His car passed after it did not have a single failure.
Larry Sturm’s Bowling Green-assembled two-tone 1981 Corvette was presented in like-new condition. It was awarded a Top Flight at the NCRS Winter Regional Meet.
This bright-red 1989 convertible owned by Fred Jenkins received a Performance Verification Award.
Paul Schwack’s 1996 Commemorative Edition Corvette received the Hill Mark of Excellence Award. This award recognizes owners for the preservation of 1993-’02 Corvettes.
Carlisle Events provides very clear signage that easily directs incoming guests to their correct entrance.
Coffman Corvette received a Modified 427 award for this restomod 1965 Corvette convertible. It features many newer parts while retaining the look of a classic 1965 convertible.
The engine in the Coffman Corvette has a vintage-appearing fuel-injection unit that hides a newer technology LS Classics fuel-injection system. It is a very impressive presentation.

★ Salman Khan's 'Tubelight' Is A Film For Today: Producer Amar Butala !
Don Groves | May 29, 2017
Salman Khan’s Tubelight is set in 1962 during the Sino-Indian war but its producer is confident moviegoers in India and internationally will relate to the multiple issues and themes portrayed.
“Even though it is a period film Tubelight is as pertinent to the world we live in today- and the issues and conflicts we see around us,” Amar Butala, who produced the Kabir Khan-directed drama, told me this week.
“Kabir has made a fantastic film which tells the story of one man's belief in himself and his love for his family,” said Butala, who is chief operating officer of Salman Khan Films.
Launching on June 23 to cash in on the Eid vacation, the film follows Khan as Laxman, a simple-minded man-child who sets off to find his brother Bharat (Salman’s real life brother Sohail Khan).
Posted on YouTube on May 25, the trailer has had 12 million views, pointing to intense global interest in the drama which co-stars Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, Matin Rey Tangu, the late Om Puri and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. Shah Rukh Khan has a cameo.
At the trailer launch Salman was referring to Butala when he said his company’s CEO was feeling the pressure for the film to perform in the wake of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion, which has amassed a phenomenal 1,633 crore ($245.4 million) worldwide.
Butala hails Arka MediaWorks’ action drama fantasy as a game-changer for the Indian film industry, particularly as a dubbed release, observing, “If only we could increase the screen numbers in India to the kind of numbers Baahubali 2had (6,000), that might happen more often.”
Contrary to his boss Butala insists he feels no pressure, reasoning, “I don't think we can make films with the pressure of box office; that would mean constantly altering our script to match the ever changing audience preference. Our best bet instead is to make a good film and to have a larger control on the distribution and syndication of our films to maximise monetisation... which is what we are doing with Tubelight."
Budgeted at a reported 100 crore ($15 million), the production is already well into profit. NH Studioz acquired the Indian distribution rights for 132 crore ($19.8 million) and Sony Music paid 20 crore ($3 million) for the music rights. The soundtrack features five songs, all composed by Pritam. Star TV bought the satellite rights.
The number of screens in India is yet to be finalized but Butala said the release will the widest ever for Salman Khan. Yash Raj Films secured the overseas distribution rights, the first such collaboration between Aditya Chopra's production and distribution powerhouse and Khan.
Kabir and Salman are looking to repeat the runaway success of their 2015 blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan. "After Bajrangi Bhaijaan it was important to choose like-minded partners who are as enthusiastic to take Tubelight to newer audiences," he said. "Salman as an actor has a great relationship with YRF and as producers we have implicit faith in YRF and hope that this is the start of longer relationship between SKF and YRF."
Shah Rukh, whose character appears at a crucial time in the film, accepted the role as soon as he was approached and was, Butala said, "incredibly gracious."
The shoot took more than 100 days. Kabir collaborated with action directors Glenn Boswell (whose credits as stunt co-ordinator include Unbroken, The Hobbit trilogy and X Men Origins: Wolverine) and Aamar Shetty to recreate the war sequences shot in Ladakh. Another location was the town of Manali in the hills of Himachal Pradesh.
"Kabir loves to shoot his films in real locations and as producers we always support his vision," Amar said. The marketing campaign is based on 'fans first' concept which means tapping into Salman's huge fan base. So the teaser, trailer and songs were first shown to fans to give them a sense of ownership. The first song was launched in Dubai, a big market for his films.
