That seems to be the overriding sentiment throughout Cap’m Marvel. Everybody in the film seems to be having fun.

Then last night I had a dream that Samuel L. Jackson was going to be staying with us while he was in the area promoting Snakes on a Plane (in the dream Carrie, Mike, Susan, my folks, and I all lived in the house in Kent in which I grew up).
