'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Review: Spidey's European Vacation - ScreenCrush
The following review contains no spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home. It does spoil the hell out of Avengers: Endgame, though, so be aware of that.
Spider-Man: Far From Home is best viewed as the dessert at the end of an elaborate and overindulgent tasting menu. You’ve already eaten six courses, you’re totally stuffed and in no mood for more food, and then they bring out the cookie sampler with eight different kinds of homemade sweets and of course you eat it and you’re even more full than before but it was worth it because the cookie sampler is amazing.
That’s Far From Home. Just two months after Avengers: Endgame — literally the biggest superhero movie ever created — I’m not sure anyone is dying for another Marvel movie already. But the one that Marvel (and Sony, who holds the big-screen rights to Spidey and co-produces his movies) have produced is light and frothy and sweet. It’s a lovely capper on the 23-course meal that has been the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date.
It’s also significantly smaller than Avengers: Endgame, with Spider-Man (Tom Holland) heading out of his friendly neighborhood with just a few sidekicks and friends. It may be called Far From Home, but metaphorically at least, the film doesn’t stray too far from the tried-and-true Spidey formula, with Peter Parker torn between the stuff he wants to do and the stuff he needs to do as a result of his great powers and responsibilities.
In the aftermath of Endgame and the death of Tony Stark and several other Avengers, Peter’s greatest responsibility is picking up the superhero slack around New York City. At the end of the last Spidey movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter rejected an offer to join the Avengers and instead decided to remain a small-time hero (and full-time teenager) for a little while longer). With Tony Stark gone, Peter may not have a choice in the matter, particularly when super-spy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) needs help on a particularly dangerous mission.
Peter tries to duck Fury by taking a summer vacation to Europe with classmates Ned (Jacob Batalon), Betty (Angourie Rice), and MJ (Zendaya) — who he’s crushing on big time. But Fury follows Peter to Venice, and drags him into his quest to stop a bunch of monsters called “The Elementals” with the help of a hero from an alternate reality named Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Peter keeps trying to beg off so he can spend time with MJ.
Although a lot of the key supporting characters have all changed, Far From Home continues exploring the same ideas and themes as Spider-Man: Homecoming — namely a young man struggling to figure out the “right way” to become an adult, as laid out to him by a variety of male role models. In Homecoming, Peter was caught between Tony Stark and Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes, two different examples of what can happen to a man driven to succeed in business. In Far From Home, Peter gets bounced between Fury’s grow-the-eff-up attitude and Mysterio’s far more supportive approach. (He’s also got Tony’s best friend Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) who’s still around to help Spidey and maybe spark a romance with Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May.) Director Jon Watts enjoys upending audience’s expectations; just because a character looks like the right role model doesn’t necessarily mean that they are. In the Spider-Verse, as in life, adults are so often disappoint us.
Watts and screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers keep most of this stuff subtextual as Peter and his buddies bounce around Europe — Venice to Prague to Berlin to London — getting into one scrape after another. There is a decided (and somewhat disappointing) lack of web-swinging; Spider-Man’s powers aren’t necessarily ideal, from a cinematic action perspective, for a place like Venice. But Far From Home might be the funniest Spider-Man film to date, and it builds nicely, culminating in a sustained, intense setpiece on and around London’s Tower Bridge — followed by what has to be the best post-credits scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Thanos first popped his ugly purple mug out at the end of The Avengers.
I wouldn’t necessarily say Holland is the best Peter Parker, or Zendaya is the best MJ. But together they might be the best lead couple in the series. With wholesome, wide-eyed Holland and smirking, deadpan Zendaya, they make a perfect opposites-attract couple, and even though the Elementals and Mysterio takes up a lot of screentime, the movie never forgets Peter and MJ’s relationship. The two stars get several outstanding scenes together. (So do Favreau and Holland, who make another appealing onscreen combo. Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May needs more scenes in the next movie, though.)
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s Spider-Man comics often pitted their young, idealistic hero against cynical, greedy adults. Many of Spidey’s villains can be seen as cautionary tales for Peter Parker — like Spidey, most got their powers in science experiments gone wrong; like Peter, most were brilliant scientists. If Peter strayed down the wrong path, he could wind up like Doctor Octopus or the Green Goblin. These stories were thinly-veiled fables about coming of age, enlivened with plenty of action, romance, and gorgeous artwork.
Watts and his team faced a tough task with this movie, following two gigantic Avengers and the dimension-jumping Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Their smart solution was to tell a classical story in that Lee/Ditko mold. While no one says “with great power comes great responsibility,” this is about as faithful an adaptation of those old Amazing Spider-Man fables as has been brought to the screen so far. And it sets the stage perfectly, with a shocking cliffhanger, for whatever Marvel has in store for us next.

Dog The Bounty Hunter Reveals Beth Chapman’s Final Words As He Fights Back Tears - Hollywood Life
In an interview conducted just hours after Beth Chapman’s tragic death, her husband, Dog The Bounty hunter, reveals the 51-year-old’s final words.
Dog The Bounty Hunter was by Beth Chapman’s side during the final moments of her life, and he opened up about their last conversation before she was placed in a medically-induced coma and eventual death. “When she had an attack, I didn’t know anything to do but to say, ‘In Jesus name,’ and hold her. And when I said, ‘In Jesus name,’ she said, ‘Say it again, say it again,” Dog explained to reporters, while fighting back tears. “And then she told the girls and everybody with her mouth — she came out of it a couple times — and said, ‘I love you. Are you guys alright? Don’t worry.’ But she never accepted [death].”
Seven months into her second bout with cancer, Beth was rushed to the hospital in Hawaii on June 22 after complaining of pain. She reportedly got extremely agitated once in the ICU, which is why doctors had to place her in the medically-induced coma. Four days later, she tragically passed away in the hospital on June 26. “Her way was to live,” Dog said. “She wanted to live so bad and she fought so long. She liked life, but she wanted to show people how to beat it and what to do when it got to her. It’s one of the last thing she said: ‘This is a test of faith.’ She had faith, and that was it. There’s things you go through when you’re doing, you go through all these steps. The last step when you’re dying is to accept it, and she said to me the other day, ‘That last step, I ain’t taking.'”
Beth first fought throat cancer in 2017, but after a successful operation and follow-up treatment, she achieved remission. One year later, though, in Nov. 2018, the cancer returned. Beth had another surgery, and tried chemotherapy, but did not like the effects of the drug. She made the conscious decision to stop chemo and use alternative treatments to help fight the disease. Unfortunately, she succumbed to the cancer months later.
“It’s just incredible when you walk alone in the bedroom and she was JUST there two days ago,” Dog recalled. “I hope to God there is a God. I have tried to be godly. I’ve trained myself [to think], ‘What would Jesus do?’ And I hope I’m not just talking to myself. I hope there is a God, and if there is, I’m gonna see my honey again.”
Even though Beth had been sick for months, and Dog admitted that they “knew this day would come,” he still said it was “very unexpected” because of how fast it happened. He also revealed that the family is planning services in Hawaii, where Beth spent the last several months of her life, as well as Colorado, where her family lives. He promised to keep the public updated on any further information regarding dates and times.

Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth Taped New Show Days Before Hospitalization - TMZ
EXCLUSIVE
Beth Chapman was taping alongside Duane "Dog" Chapman almost until her last day, but there's some unfinished work to be done ... and now it's in Dog's hands to decide how their project will end.
Their new show, "Dog's Most Wanted," had been shooting for several months, and they were coming to a close last weekend ... according to production sources. As you know, Beth suffered a choking emergency Saturday at their home in Hawaii and was placed in a medically-induced coma.
Although they were mid-production, we're told cameras were NOT rolling at that time.
Beth -- who was just as involved with the show as Dog -- was still scheduled to shoot for the series' final episodes.
Obviously, production came to a halt with Beth's hospitalization, and her death now means some big decisions have to be made about how to end the season. We're told it's possible producers will use the material they have in the can to put together an ending -- or shooting could resume after Dog and his family have time to cope with their matriarch's passing.
"Dog's Most Wanted" profiled both the family's bounty hunting business and also shed light on Beth's cancer battle. We're told it will ultimately be Dog's decision on whether there's enough raw footage to end the series, and also tell Beth's story.
As we first reported, doctors decided placing Beth in a coma would give her the best shot at surviving -- but she never recovered and died Wednesday morning.
Beth was 51.

Max Wright, who played Willie Tanner on TV's 'ALF', dies at 75 - USA TODAY
Max Wright, who played Willie Tanner, the father figure to an alien in TV's "ALF," has died at 75.
Wright was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1995 but had been in remission for years, according to TMZ, which broke the news of his death. Wright's family confirmed the news to the outlet, and to The Hollywood Reporter.
Wright starred in the beloved NBC sitcom "ALF" (an acronym standing for Alien Life Form) for four years from 1986 to 1990, playing the shortwave radio enthusiast who accidentally attracted the alien (voiced by the show's creator, Paul Fusco) to Earth.
Tanner brought the party-animal ALF into his own family, and played the patriarchal straight-man to the alien's antics.
"RIP Max Wright," tweeted Seth MacFarlane. "A hilarious and talented actor. Sad news to hear of his passing. Who will keep ALF in check now?"
The veteran actor had a long résumé in other venues, appearing in television shows like the short-lived comedy "Buffalo Bill," "Cheers," "Misfits of Science" and a recurring role in "Norm."
His film credits included "All That Jazz," "Reds," "The Sting II," "Soul Man" and "The Shadow."
The Broadway performer was nominated for a Tony Award for best actor in 1998 for his role as Pavel Lebedev in “Ivanov.”
He was married to Linda Ybarrondo from 1965 until her death in 2017 from breast cancer. They had two children together.
Michu Meszaros, a 3-foot, former circus performer who played ALF in the early years of the show, died after suffering complications from a stroke in 2016.

Stormi and True are home on the range!
The cute cousins took a trip to a farm on Tuesday, spending time together while observing some of the various animals, like chickens and horses.
Stormi, 16 months, was dressed casually in a blue T-shirt with a cloud print that read “Wish You Were Here” on the back, black capri leggings and sneakers. True, 14 months, sported a pretty plaid dress, matching blush cardigan and sparkly, silver jelly sandals.
At one point, the two toddlers shared a heartwarming bonding moment, with Stormi reaching over to give her younger cousin a sweet hug.
“My heart,” Kylie, 21, wrote over the top of the adorably affectionate clip.

In general, the Kardashian-Jenner cousins couldn’t be closer. Earlier this month, Khloé, 34, shared two sweet photos of baby true with her 2½-year-old cousin Dream Renée, the daughter of Rob Kardashian.
In the first image, Dream wrapped her arms around True and smiled up at her as True happily looked down, rocking a Fendi T-shirt and black sneakers.
The second snapshot showed Dream, wearing a lavender onesie, planting a big kiss on her younger cousin’s mouth.
“BFF Cousins,” Khloé captioned the adorable photographs — and proud grandma Kris Jenner couldn’t get enough, commenting, “This is EVERYTHING ❤️.”

Khloé’s post featuring True and Dream came days after Kylie shared an adorable slideshow of photos starring True and Stormi with their cousin Chicago, the 17-month-old younger daughter of Kim Kardashian West.
In the sweet shots, the little girls — who were all born within a three-month span last year — could be seen pulling completely straight faces while holding baby sharks.
“The Triplets,” Kylie captioned her Instagram post while Kardashian West, 38, cleverly wrote alongside the same image in her own post, “A True Chicago Stormi.”
