Currently watching: TAR, season finale! 
So I went to see Spiderman 3 yesterday. I tried to get into the 3 p.m. showing, but it was sold out. So was the 3:30 p.m. showing. And the 4 p.m. But I got into the 4:30 p.m. showing, and it was full. The theatre I was at has ...I don't even know how many auditoria it has, but the entire second floor, with at least 6 auditoria, were all showing Spidey 3.
Anyway, I got my Spidey popcorn, and my Spidey Coke, and let's not forget my Spidey cherry Nibs... and that all cost more than the ticket for the movie! Grr!
And I sat through the commericials and the promos and all. And then I sat through the movie.
Meh. It was okay. The action scenes were pretty good, but the rest of it... well, it really could have benefitted from some editing. I mean, really... there was a scene where MJ and what'shisface, James Franco, are in the kitchen at his place, and they're cooking, then they start dancing. And I was honestly thinking, "Man, this really should have been in the 'deleted scenes' section of the dvd!"
That's bad.
There's another part where MJ meets Peter on the bridge in the park. That scene had the guy beside me moaning and groaning. He had his sweatshirt pulled up half-way over his face, and was making little moany sounds during the scene. At the end of it, he said to his friends, "Man, that was some bad*** acting!" And he didn't mean bad*** in a good way. I started laughing my head off when he said that, 'cause I'd been thinking pretty much the same thing.
There's also just too much crying in the movie. And shoot me, but I just couldn't stop thinking of Eric Forman every time Eddie Brock/Venom was in a scene.
Overall, it was an okay movie, not worth the $20 that I spent for the ticket and snackies. If only I hadn't spent 12 bucks on pop/popcorn, maybe it would have been worth it!

I think that Raimi just tried to put too much into one movie. It was kind of all over the place, and then there'd be those pointless scenes as well, like the dancing in the kitchen one. It was just strange. If they'd stuck to more action, less crying, it would have been a much better movie.
Don't get me wrong, it was good. But unless you're a huge fan, I'd say wait for the dvd to hit the $10 bin.

Haha.
I ALWAYS spend more money on popcorn and coke and lollies than I do on the actual ticket.
It's a habit.
I haven't actually seen the movie, but I was thinking about the whole Eric Forman thing too.
Apparently, there is a lot of crying in he movie.
Who cries?

Peter Parker! He cries a few times. And it was just ~wimpy~. Cringe-worthy.

Who is Eric Forman?
Posted May 6, 2007 7:12 pm PT
Eric Forman was the lead character in That 70s Show (which I edit! ), and he got the role of Venom in Spidey3. I guess since I edit That 70s, maybe I've seen a little more Eric Forman than the average bear!

Those two scenes were pretty damn awful, I remember them now. I was groaning too, and looking at everyone around here. It was just so cringe-worthy. Venom was screwed up, I only liked his scream, but nothing else. But damn, they had Spidey coke, popcorn, and cheesy nibs! Talk about kickass product placement! LOL

I've never really understood the whole Spiderman phenomenon. Sure, they're fairly decent movies, but the amount of money they make is ridiculous. I can see how you would what with your Forman-Fandom, but I'm not sure how that many people think seeing a Spiderman movie on the first day is worth twenty dollars, waiting for a show time with available seats, and being in a packed theater. Now "Star Wars," that I get. 
I mean, how can you not wait in line a month for a Star Wars movie?

Sorry you didn't enjoy the movie more. I loved it personally. And yes, popcorn and snacks are WAY too expensive.
Posted May 7, 2007 10:22 am PT
Thanks for letting me know, Stig. So Spidey is not a choice on the big screen if you have cheap tickets and don't buy expensive snacks?
Posted May 7, 2007 9:56 pm PT
I hardly ever go to the movies because they turn out to be so expensive...not the tickets but who can go without buying some oh so buttery popcorn, and if then you got to have a coke and the little candy packages are staring up at you calling your name So I havent seen Spiderman yet but most of my friends said the same thing as you!

I'll wait for it to come to DVD. I hate spending so much for a mediocre movie. 
Posted May 8, 2007 7:02 pm PT
Yup. That settles it. Waiting for dvd.
