This week, we all brought Morbius back to cinemas through the power of memes. Brought it back, but did not actually watch it, with Morbius bombing for the second time this year as scientists discovered that ironically memeing on a movie’s ridiculousness is not the way audiences demonstrate their willingness to pack screens to the rafters. Before all this though, I was a ground floor Morb. Though not the ultimate originator of Doctor Michael Morbius’ iconic catchphrase It’s Morbin’ Time, I did go to see Morbius on the very first Thursday it opened, and now it feels as if I own a piece of cinematic history.
