Spider-Man 3 anticipation begins...now

"How'd your hair get so red, anyway?"

Re: the dancing sequence:

Did no one else notice how it kept flipping back and forth between the way Peter thought women were reacting to him (*swoon*) and the way they were REALLY reacting to him ("Who is this nerdy dancing cunt? lol")?

Yeah, I thought that was the best part of the movie.

There were people in the theatre with me who were obviously SQUIRMING at cheesy jazz PP... and I'm thinking, jesus people, he's SUPPOSED to look like a douche.

even a cursory reading of Foucault should have told us that

This has had generally bad reviews in the UK. I didn't really understand why, or at least, looking back, I can't understand why there was so much gushing over Spider-Man 2 compared with this.

Yes, it was too long, sagged in the midddle, and things like the butler revelation were lazy, but it was so likable. Maybe I've just been watching 24 too much, but to have some kind of optimistically liberal, New Testament Christian superhero morality tale was quite refreshing, even if Sandman's whole motivation was a bit all over the place.

Neither Tobey Maguire or Kirsten Dunst seem to be able to do crying very well, and the series never manages really get emotional depth out of their darker times.

i just really appreciated the fact that sam raimi decided to make the venom story just a really weird, convoluted cocaine metaphor.

After I saw it, I tentatively mentioned this to my cinemagoing companion, apologising if it was a really obvious thing that everyone had been saying, but umm.. yeah. I totally read it that way and I'd be surprised (but sort of pleased, in some kind of life having a deeper pattern behind it kind of way) if it wasn't intentional.

I certainly noticed the mixed response, but I put it down to different people having different reactions to coke-esque confidence, but yeah, you're probably right in your reading.

I saw it more like...the ones that were reacting badly to him were just too far away to get a whiff of his spidey pheromones!

An interesting take!

BTWFWIW, for my money Tobey + EVIL floppy hair = hotter, but then I fancy annoying coked-up girls.

(not exclusively)

Like anyone cares.

hahahahahahahahaha oh georgie porgie

whaddaprick. is this because ILM didn't do the effects?

heh never mind, now i see why:

"Lucas, who was behind the smash-hit Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, said he was not impressed by the new sequel, which surged ahead of the director's 2005 film Revenge of the Sith to take the record for the biggest weekend box-office record."

talk about the nerd pot calling the nerd kettle black!

Sith did not have musical jazz interludes. This is why it sucked.

Plus, the scene where we first see Sandman >>>>>>> anything in the Star Wars prequels OR any of the Spidey movies.

where is the where do i shot web image?

everyone in the theater laughed at the crying on the bridge scene.
