This Mother's Day, I Got a Present
May. 13th, 2007 11:28 pmMom decided we should all see Spider-Man 3 together! :) Granted, this turned my plans for the day topsy-turvy (no writing, and I only have the
eurekasims Emma update instead of both that and a
revison_doc update), but hey, getting out to the movies was worth it.
Thoughts:
-->When Peter is popular, Peter becomes an idiot. Seriously, he does.
-->Ael, you're right -- Peter Parker just cannot be badass. A JACKass, yes. . . . I was sniggering wildly through that part of the movie.
-->Gwen Stacey -- why? I understand her role in the movie, but it was small enough that it didn't actually have to be Gwen, I don't think. *shrug*
-->Stan Lee's cameo -- fricking hilarious. :p
-->Sandman -- I still don't quite agree with the logic of making HIM Uncle Ben's killer. But he had some amazing special effects, and he kicked some nice ass.
-->Venom -- Love that suit. I love the way it crawls around like a spider itself, loved Venom's look, love the whole thing. He would have been perfect if they'd just remembered the tongue. And if he'd been in a little more of the movie. (No, not Eddie, VENOM.)
*pause*
And they never called him by name either! WTF? (And speaking of names, in regards to the actor -- who names their kid Topher?)
-->Harry -- I'll sum that up this way. Moose, you are going to love AND hate what they do to Harry. Me, I'm just wondering how he survived a certain bit.
-->Ending: CHEEEEEESSSSEEEE
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience (even if I DID have to get up during one of the slow MJ/Peter sequences and rush to the toilet). I'd rank it below the first two Spideys, but above X-3. If only because more actually HAPPENED in this one. At least "Badass"Peter did stuff, as oppossed to BadassJean mostly just staring into space.
Okay, gonna try to at least get a little more done on the DVD cut of "Ich Liebe Dich." I also want to reread some fanfic -- my own "BTTX-2: Time of the Spider" and KS's "The Space Zombie From Planet Vulcan" -- specifically that scene where Marty gets stuck in the radiation suit. Because, suddenly, I REALLY get it. (You should have seen the size of the soda I got at the theater -- AND IT WAS A SMALL!) Also must explore Futurepedia -- why did no one tell me about it?!
