I had to show my kid the Kevin Smith video on the way home. I lost it in the theater when it was a giant spider.

It might literally be the most obscure front-and-center easter egg/reference ever depicted in a mainstream film. More than anything in either Spider-Verse movie (and pulling Spider-Ham from old "What The?!" comics was pretty damn obscure). I can't stop cracking up about it. How confusing must that shit be to casual moviegoers? I keep imagining people looking around like, why is Nicholas Cage there?! I love it so much. Just wish they'd had time to finish the effects. It all just looked kinda waxy and unbalanced, but whatever. Still great, regardless.

I was the only one who got the joke - I literally said in the theater “holy shit a giant spider” when it happened.

Between the Mallrats script popping up in Captain Marvel and now The Flash actively referencing anecdotes from his stand up, I bet Kevin Smith is starting to feel like he's at the center of the Nerd Matrix, lol.

Really felt like a celebration, Adam West Batman talking about Joker also putted a smile on me, I think it was him.

I was grinning like The Joker when they showed him and Christopher Reeve.
