I had remembered going to the show for the first one with mom’s a while back in MI (one of her favorite things to do over the years) when she was 75 and me 40, and the fam owned the Laserdisc of Natural Born Killers, (had no idea what a red carnage was or even remembering much of any of the 1st film or why Larry F. Oscar-pants c. ‘96 would be involved in a comic book dork movie) w/ the Pioneer Player being in the super-custom finished basement on the estate hooked up to the big screen from the 1980's, like 377 lbs., AND an Eminem theme song that I recall hearing 1-3 times over the past few years to scoot? ‘Sew’, I thought, "Cali SSI six ninety & change just dropped, why the Hell knot?"

Venom: Let There Be Carnage review – sufficient superhero sequel

Tom Hardy returns as journalist Eddie Brock and the alien who shares his body, played for daft laughs by director Andy Serkis

This low-stakes sequel sees the return of Tom Hardy’s Venom, a cheeky, gravel-voiced alien “symbiote”, and Eddie Brock (also played by Hardy), the human journalist he shares a body with. The plot revolves around serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson), the subject of one of Brock’s articles. Kasady is infected with his own symbiote, Carnage. Angry, red and tentacled, they rampage San Francisco looking for Kasady’s mutant ex-girlfriend, Frances (Naomie Harris, fun but underused), who has a scream that topples cars. In an improvement on the film’s predecessor, director Andy Serkis dispenses with detailed explanations and instead amps up the humor, leaning into the goofy, flirtatious dynamic between Venom and Brock.
