Current Mood: 'Frothing-at-the-mouth-Fanboy' ^_^
Well that last post certainly was depressing! :P
but this is much better! Cause I just saw SPIDER-MAN 2!
:D :D :D :D
*runs around in circles doing happy dance*
Very cool. ANd Im a picky person. I mean, as always there are a few slight plot holes, but its excusable! i mean, its a comic right? No one ever asks what the vine is attatched to in Tarzan right? right! so there! ^_^
By the way, just a note for Michelle/The Don/Mikey! :D If you are depressed by the Hollywood love in Pearl Harbour (See her post 'Bah Humbug' silly Blogger having difficulties. cant link to individual post! :P) then see the Hollywood love in Spider-Man 2! its pretty touching! :) but i guess it is dodgy in a way because... *zips lips* ok.. wont say anything till later! :D See the Movie! :D
lol. Im always amused by the comments of the uninitiated in the surrounding cinema. ah, the public at large who have no idea about the comics. I mean, someone was actually surprised that the movie hinted at a third one. i bet they said the same thing at the end of X-Men 2. THese movies were always designed as Trilogies.
I guess its a good thing and a bad thing that non comic fans see these movies and suddenly gain an interest. The bad thing is that when they come into the comic store they will have absolutely no idea whatsoever about the actual comics, and will get all confused when we have to explain the difference between "Amazing Spider-Man" "Peter Parker: Spider Man", "Ultimate Spider-Man", "Marvel Age: Spider-Man", "Spider-Man Unlimited", "Web of Spider-Man"... and other titles all linked into the Web-slingers mythos. And after this is explained theyll inevitably ask "so which one is the original." and "Do you have issue number one?"
THEN we get into the discussion about how issue 1 isnt actually the first issue (no!) and there are different series (What?) and that Spider-Man actually made his Debut in Amazing Fantasy 15 (huh?) which is now worth over 10,000 dollars US. (But surely comics cant be worth that much!)
to quote Star Wars or even the Matrix, because thats more recent everyone will remember this quote: "It is Inevitable".
Wow. what a fanboy rant that was! oh well... but wait, theres more! :D
Anyone who is still missing out on the movie, look away now! go on! Ill give you a few seconds.

Ok. So my beef with the plot? nothing major. I liked the cameos of Ted Raimi! (Remember Joxer the Mighty off Xena? He's brother of the Director, Sam Raimi! [Remember Evil Dead 1 and 2? not so much the others! :D]) And Stan "The Man" Lee got two cameos that i picked. one of them he says something! :D 'Watch out!' heh heh. And various writers and artists of spider-man... Loved the suit in the elevator scene... perfect comic timing. ^_^
So after those digressions, my beef is they are leading into the next movie, promoting the villians as either "Hobgoblin" or "The Lizard". Presumably both, because Doctor Conners has always been a grey character, not exactly evil, but able to be USED for evil... which I can see good ol Harry doing as Hobgoblin. But I hope that instead of the Hobgoblin suit they actually twist his appearence, as they should have done with the Green Goblin.
Instead of these villains, i think the next one would totally blow everything else away if the main enemy was VENOM! how sweet would that be? i mean, i dont know anybody who doesnt like Vicious Homicidal Alien Symbiots that Pose as Spider-Man Uniforms! :)
but Eddie Brock hasnt been introduced.
OH! LOVE the scene with JJJ (J. Jonah Jameson, his editor in Chief) where Doctor Strange is mentioned.. and he said 'already taken'! w00t! As a fanboy I demand an appearence of said good doctor!
So, um... okay, my train of thought just departed. I may have to see that movie again!... and again. and then maybe one more time! For work research of course! I mean, I cant really go into work without fully knowing every nuance of the movie can I?
Till Galactus switches to the Atkins, Diet.. Make Mine Marvel! :D
