That's why a tall guy can never play Wolverine.

Meh. I don't really care how roles are cast so long as the actor performs their role well. I was just stating what the fanboys were complaining about back when Jack Reacher was first released. And I actually have no idea how tall Hugh Jackman is.

6'3"
Wolverine is 5'3"
Hence, Hugh Jackman must have been a lousy Wolverine.
I know that's not YOUR argument, but that was certainly AN argument when he was cast

Yup, keep stroking at it, because I'm really making the argument.

Beneath The Leaves:
Four small-town boys are kidnapped by James Whitley, a warm-eyed psychopath. His grotesque pursuit to reunite orphaned children with their deceased birth parents is halted when the boys escape and he is arrested. Fifteen years later Whitley flees during a prison fire and decides to see his mission through.
This was okay. I checked it out because it had Paul and Mira Sorvino, whom I both like (especially Paul, what a great character actor). A few twists, some nice drama. I can't say it's great, but it is better than good.

Mary Poppins Returns:
What a simply delightful movie. Charming. No snark. After the initial few minutes of set-up, I dunno if anyone could have wiped the small smile from my face the entire rest of the movie. It was a perma-grin, if one were to exaggerate. I haven't seen the first one since I was a little tyke, yet some memories of that one came flooding back (probably the cause of my love of penguins, in hindsight). HIGHLY recommend.

I was wishing Julie Andrews had an uncredited cameo (my hope was the birdwomen), but c'est le Disney

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Whoa. Like 99.5/100. I suppose they probably could have shaded a scene better or something. But everything else was perfectly crafted. This was substance with impeccable style.
Not just the best comic movie ever made, but this was one of my favorite movies.

Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies
That would have been nice, although Lansbury was a perfect cameo. She did fit the part. I guess, where would Julie fit in? A shopkeeper or some passer-by? Cameo like that, don't waste it. So maybe addition by subtraction?

Mrs. Solo informed me Julie Andrews was offered a cameo and she turned it down suggesting it was Emily Blunt’s time. Interesting.
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I’m not a huge fan of the original which feels like it’s 3 hours long...

For a second I thought you meant Carrie Fisher and I was super impressed that you were talking to the dead... 
I haven't seen the new Mary Poppins yet - though I love Lin-Manuel. I'm so far behind on watching movies that I want to see...

Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies
That was along my thinking. If it's a cameo, make it count or bow out. Julie bowed out, and given her rep, she made the right decision. I don't see where she would fit.....
