#Big Ass Spider

[scribblegoblin]

God continually sends me great beasts (big fucking spiders) of which I shall continue to overcome with willpower and pacifism (getting my dad to put them in a cup).

What a beautiful day to watch "Big Ass Spider" with your bestie and drink rosehip tea (yes, it's because of you Rose <3 It's a really good tea).

@goldyluna and I are going to make a review later, lol

Unraveling the Laughter: Exploring the Unexpected Brilliance of BIG ASS SPIDER!

The 2013 film BIG ASS SPIDER! initially faced skepticism and low expectations, typical of many SyFy Channel productions. However, behind its bold title and seemingly campy premise lies a hidden gem that surprises and entertains in unexpected ways. Upon its release on DVD and Blu-ray, BIG ASS SPIDER! was met with doubt and hesitation from potential viewers. The SyFy Channel’s reputation for…

Fuck Miguel because HES actually the first anomaly. He abused his power/ability to travel between universes to take the place of someone else. Had he not done that, that universe and everything in it would still be around. But Miles? Miles ACCIDENTALLY got bit by spider that wasn't where it was supposed to be. How tf was he supposed to know that?

MORE NAMES TO KNOW

Tina Bell: frontwoman of the band Bam Bam, often called the Godmother of grunge because of its influence. Racism within the scene has led to her influence being pretty extensively erased but her bandmate and lifelong friend Scotty Buttocks has been working hard to counteract that by doing press and preserving their music here. Kurt fucking Cobain was their roadie

Betty Davis: 70s funk rock legend who just recently passed away. Incredibly unique performer that was way ahead of her time. Not to be confused with Bette Davis.

Sistah Grrrl Riots: A black punk collective put together in response to alienation and racism in the 90s punk and riot grrrl scenes. Organized by legends Tamar-Kali Brown, Honeychild Coleman, Maya Glick, and Simi Stone. You can read more about sistah grrrl in this article.

Ronnie Spector: Frontwoman of the Ronettes and rock n roll pioneer. Black girl groups were a huge influence on the sound of Rock n Roll as we know it from The Beatles to Led Zepplin to the Rolling Stones. She recently passed but her autobiography came out last year and it's worth the read.

BIG ASS SPIDER definitely has some jokes that don't fly as well nowadays but honestly? I fucking love that movie 10/10 would recommend.

So Plex has a Free Movie section, which they occasionally organize by topical categories and today it's got a section called "EARTH DAY: NATURE'S PAYBACK" which, maybe slightly missing the point, but it's got some of the wildest movie titles and posters under it, including:

CROCZILLA

QUEEN CRAB (Poster looks like those 'Time For Crab" paintings, but grittier and with exploding helicopters)

JURASSIC SHARK

OUIJA SHARK

VIRUS SHARK

HOUSE SHARK (Apparently, a shark that eats houses and not a shark you keep in your home, like a housecat. Sad.)

SHARK ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND

500 MPH STORM

LAVALANTULA

BIG ASS SPIDER (the poster indicates that a Generic Royalty- Free Cityscape is on fire, and that there is a very large spider. However, the flames obscure the actual size of it's ass.)

CAMEL SPIDERS (This one was a disappointment because the font originally made it look like the title was GAMER SPIDERS, an obectively better movie in all respects.

TAIL STING (about scorpions, and to the producer's credit, a perfectly adequate descriptor of the main problem with having scoripions in your immediate proximity.

SPIDERS

SPIDERS 2

Oh no wait. The scroll indicates the full title is:

SPIDERS 2: BREEDING GROUND

Which is a bold directorial choice that I am assuming is a touching romance set against a fraught political backdrop and an insightful examination of the nature of humanity and montrousness, like The Shape Of Water.

PIRANHA

MEGAPIRANHA

PIRANHACONDA

SHARKENSTEIN

SWAMP SHARK

SHARKS OF THE CORN

BEN (This movie intrigues me because the poster consists entirely of a fairly normal looking black fancy rat in some sort of Tron-inspired landscape. I have no idea what happening but I hope Mr. Benjamin Rat has a fun adventure in cyberspace.)

SNOWMAGGEDON

CHRISTMAS TWISTER

SAN ANDREAS QUAKE (good to see the return of the Disaster Movie, but also, as a former californian that lived almost directly on top of the San Andreas Fault? You could also call this movie "Teusday")

KILLER MERMAID

SERIAL KILLER SASQUATCH

MOSQUITO MAN (when you can't afford Mothman)

DINOCROC VERSUS MEGAGATOR

And of course, BEAR

I like how Dan made fun of Phil for wanting attention as if he wasn't fully prepared to throw hands with whatever was under that desk.

I think after her time at the spider society gwen can be very creepy at times, but like doesn't realize it or register it well.

Like she's gwen stacy. The cursed lover. The doomed girl. She is the face of thousands of corpses. The face of thousands of what ifs. A bittersweet dream. A constant longing.

Most of the time when people look at her they don't see her they see someone else. Her simply existing turns the entire society into a haunted house. She's a ghost, she's better off invisible and while I don't think it's intentional she gets pushed to the side a lot by most people I think Miguel, Jess and Peter might be the exception in this concept but even then its gets complicated due to her connection with Miles and eventually this kinda starts rubbing off in an unsettling way.

Gwen is implied to be very high ranking in the society. Jess calls her "her star pupil" and Lyla warned Gwen about the spot before Hobie and Pavitr. And Miguel's "You knew better, Gwen !" She justs seems to be a part of Miguel's gang of higher ups with Peter B and Jess and all that and considering the fact that she's been there for just a few months that's saying something.

I think Gwen took a lot of training and missions to prove herself, and maybe Miguel sent her on more missions to distract her from Miles and stuff. Hell he might have trained her along with Jessica at times which considering how stern they can be I wouldn't be suprised if this rubbed off on gwen who didn't really have anyone else besides Peter and Hobie. Like she has been Spider Woman more than gwen stacy at this point.

Speaking of Spider Woman, I think it's a good time to bring up how gwen's mental state gets fucked up around her identity as a superhero and how it plays into my idea of her being creepy thing. Because like Spider Woman is litteraly considered a murderer in her dimension and isn't very liked. And while yes its true that in most universes Spider Man has its haters. It's way worse in Gwen's dimension like in the comics she gets shocked when people thank her kinda bad. She has supporters but sadly the people who call her a monster are the most vocal. Like even her dad saw Spider Woman that way and even after finding out who she was still pulled a gun at her face so yeah.

Gwen already blames herself for Peter's death and general public opinion doesn't really help with leaving that guilt behind. She internalizes those things. So I think that do her deep internal feelings Gwen might be at times more ruthless and violent than your typical spider hero which can already be shocking especially in contrast to how graceful she can be as spider woman . I don't think she wants to be. But i think its just the internal intrusive thought "No matter what I do I am a monster why pull back ?" And with her whole canon event I think she might be prone to being reckless and throwing herself at danger and being the one to make the biggest sacrifice because hey she is already fated to die.

So yeah I think that at times when the stakes are high Gwen is one of the scariest spiders when she snaps. Like the treatment she received and internalized kinda jumps out and its not pretty at all. And even just in context of her not being in a mission i still think she can be cryptid looking because she kinda acts like she's invisible and just avoids being noticed due to all the peters around.

Like just imagine her beat up with a broken mask and all you see are her cold eyes and its weird because its almost like you have a dead person staring at you and in some ways that's exactly what it is. Or her accidentally scaring people because she's so quiet that they don't see her coming.

Just her looking like a dead girl walking and yeah maybe in a way she is but...it just looks to real and unsettling.

One last thing about this, Miles notices and hates every second of it. In fact I think all of her close friends hate it.
