really did hit all the bases. The story was good, the acting was good (mostly), the casting was great. The action was good. Overall, the movie really captured the heart of the whole spider-man myth. Plus, e. and I saw it for free. We got to the theatre and the next four shows were sold out and we were talking about what to do and then this guy in front of us turned around and said, "You want to go see Spider-man? I have two extra tickets I got from COSI (local science museum) I can't get a refund for, and you're the first couple I've heard talking about seeing it." So, we scored. |
this spider-man should turn a profit. |

I saw it at the Metreon today, in SF. There is a huge inflatable Spider-Man perched on the side of the building that is just too cool to believe. I saw it on the big BIG screen, and got myself a center seat. The place was packed too. I really enjoyed it, wasn't dissapointed with any aspect of it at all, which really surprised me. It actually lived up to the hype. If I was the fat guy, I'd give it a thumbs up. Check it out. Only a Merchant/Ivory film addict wouldn't like it. |

what i understand they do is, one or two get a room across the street at the Roosevelt, and they rotate shifts. But still...don't they have jobs? |
swear, I'm the only person in the world who thinks it sucks and I'm sticking to it. Yes, Toby McGuire is a cutie pie. (I watched Cider House Rules like it was porn.) And he does a good job of playing the transformation and then not *really* transforming, but it's soooo full of cheeeeeeeeese. Yea Yea. I know the comic was cheesey too, and that's probably why the lousy acting...but it almost got to the point that all I could do was shake my head. The whole hospital scene with MJ? Horrible Horrible. That boy has great nipples tho. Mmmmhmmm. |
We're talking about geeks in a tech slump here, patrick. |
we went to a brand new theater in a town where the kids have too much money and total freedom and the adults know to stay away from the theater on a saturday night. i think we were the only people over 21. the lobby was crowded with kids, most of them on the phone, but my cousin had called ahead and we used the the auto ticket machine that no one else seemed to be interested in. [really i think the intention here was for them to spend the most time standing around possible for more exposure] up two escalators to the top lobby where we were told to find the end of the line. well, i tried. the line seemed to be a circle, we followed it and ended up at the front again where i said 'fuck it' and walked in. we sat in nice cushy gel seats. the arm-rests can be pushed up for better angles when making out. we saw spiderman. i was annoyed that he didn't make his own web-sling things and there were some glaring continuity issues. we laughed. afterward all these kids were waiting to use the one escalator to get back down. we were the only ones who used the stairs. |
