lol Spider-Man

this is still the silliest movie (next to Spider-Man 3)

Spider-Man 3 is so hilarious.

It really is. I love all the ~deep conversations~ in it. Oh and Bruce Campbell is just awesome, but you already knew that.

Ya'll know I love the Spider-Man series.

But Peter's aunt/grandmother person/whoever is SO LAME AND HORRIBLE AND GAHHHHH.

Hey. Guess what movie is ridiculous.

Spider-Man 3.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be. I mean, movies don't get that...wow...without some intent to be so, right?

Awesome EW list.

23 Stars on Screen as Themselves.

Also, Iron Man? Over $100 million and the second-best non-sequel opening ever? YES. YES. YES. You better watch out, Spider-Man, you may have a competitor for my superhero movie obsession ;) (it's doubtful it'll surpass it. My love for the Spider-Man series is strange and immense.)

You know who's amazing?

JK Simmons. JK Simmons is amazing.

Spider-Man 2 is perfect.

Suck it, every other action movie.

Can I have a failure, please?

So now they're calling Evan Almighty a failure? Yeah, I see where they're coming from. It was ridiculously expensive. Spider-Man 3 and Pirates 3 and Shrek 3 all opened with obscene amounts of money and Evan Almighty didn't. But if $32 million is a failure...may I please have a failure?

Oh crap!

Also, a very happy birthday to that king of juicy B-movie horror and Spider-Man alike, Bruce Campbell. Oh, and he's hot as anything in this picture. Looks kinda like the boyf. Okay, fine, I'll be quiet now.

haha!

Pirates 3 wasn't able to beat Spidey 3's record. I thought it would, but I'm so thrilled it didn't. Let me reiterate: haha!

ooh look a review

So, yeah, Spider-Man 3. I was expecting it to be horrendous, it really wasn't. I mean, it's nowhere near the greatness of the first two, but it's not bad. The critics are right, though: it is overplotted. Sandman could have been totally removed and the Venom story, which is far more interesting, expanded. That's the movie's main problem (that, and I hate how they felt the need to "rewrite" the first one, you know what I'm talking about if you saw this movie)... I was kind of like "um, so why is the Sandman here other than to show off the amazing special effects?" I also felt like Gwen Stacy could have been removed but at least I saw her purpose. Speaking of which: Bryce Dallas Howard is horrible. The makeup/hair department washes her out and then her performance is so bland, it makes Kristen Dunst's look fantastic (though it's the best she's been in a Spider-Man movie yet). Bryce, you can act! I saw it in The Village! C'mon!

I don't feel like the movie lost its heart or that the script was particularly bad. I mean, the Spider-Man series has always been kinda wacky. Nobody said anything with the whole Hal Sparks cameo in Spider-Man 2 but you put "Saturday Night Fever" in your movie and suddenly you're a freak. This is Sam Raimi we're talking about, people. Yeah, the script does have some really wonky lines, but Spider-Man always has. I don't know, I'm a bad reviewer and it's kind of shaken my faith in my taste in movies that I thought this was, well, not great, but far from horrible. It's good enough. During summer movie season, I'll take what I can get. And, let's face it. It's going to be better than Pirates of the Carribbean 3: At Series' End, Thank God. B/B- (Spider-Man is a highish B+, Spider-Man 2 is an A- or maybe even an A)

from IMDb...

George Lucas has joined the major newspaper critics in their negative appraisal of Spider-Man 3. In an interview with FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman, Lucas said, "It's a silly movie. ... There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?" Over the weekend, Spider-Man 3 surged ahead of Lucas's Star Wars episode Revenge of the Sith to take the record for the biggest weekend box-office record. Star Wars was also criticized as being "silly," Lucas noted. "But it wasn't."


Uh...yeah. Spider-Man 3's problem is that it has TOO MUCH story. But more importantly, No matter how bad Spider-Man 3 may be, none of the most recent three Star Wars movies are fit to kiss its ass. And great defense of Star Wars there, Lucas (no, he doesn't go on to elaborate).

I love the boyf.

This post is in honor of him, because yup, I love the boyf...even though he doesn't know about this blog (I know, I know. Our relationship sounds oh so very healthy. But I'd rather have it be online people only...you know? Whatever).

Oh, and I did indeed see Spider-Man 3 today!!! Woot!!! Details/a review to come!!

also really cute

and another reason I really really really want to see Spider-Man 3. C'mon!

Have I ever mentioned that I secretly love In Good Company, because I shamelessly (...) do.

ARGH.

I can't see Spider-Man 3 tomorrow!! So upset. :( And yes, the only movie from 2007 that I have seen is still Epic Movie. Jesus Christ, where do people find the time to see like 3 movies a day?

happy birthday to the divisive ones.

First, Kirsten Dunst. Um...I actually really like her. I'm a big fan of her work in Interview with a Vampire, The Virgin Suicides, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Bring It On, crazy/beautiful, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and of course, last year's Marie-Antoinette (though she doesn't even make my top 10 for actress, that's more a comment on how strong the year is). Yeah, she can be really bad too (Elizabethtown) or really bland (the Spider-Man films...OMG Spider-Man 3 this weekend!!!! Maybe I'll actually see it!!!), but I don't hate her at all. Except she's a dumb slut that dumped Jake Gyllenhaal...

Person #2: Lars von Trier. Meh. Dogville was so awesome though

what the HELL

i don't even have words for this. some things don't exactly scream "musical!" spider-man is one of them.
