Spiderman 3: Emo edition
(SPOILER ALERT FOR ENTIRE MOVIE)
SOOOOO.... illithid and I just got back from the midnight showing of Spiderman 3. Anyone else make their way to see it?
My thoughts:
The theme song for the movie could definitely be "Crawling" by Linkin Park. Joking aside, the birth of Sandman was just beautiful. That was easily my favorite part of the movie.
And, random citizens have an annoying habit of standing UNDERNEATH epic battle scenes.
Any other thoughts?

On to the movie. I don't like how they made Peter's symbiote a costume instead of a symbiote. It took away from the invasiveness of his condition. Also, I didn't care for the humorous treatment of the symbiote taking over. It took away from the horror of the situation, I think.
Was it really necessary to have Spider-Man swing in front of a GIGANTIC American flag? Patriotism wasn't even a theme in the movie. And since when did Spider-Man become a national hero? I don't think superheroes should ever strictly ally themselves with a specific country. Many problems are global.
I like what they did with Venom. Looked cool, sounded cool. A few small things I didn't like, but nothing major. He was fierce like Venom was meant to be fierce. And I agree with Serephel, birth of the Sandman was awesome.
At least Venom was cool. But Brock was a little bitch.
Also, wtf sand DNA?
I agree. WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU TWO MOVIES AGO WHEN THIS KNOWLEDGE WOULD HAVE HELPED
If this movie was a porno, that would have been the money shot.
I heard Topher Grace had to eat a lot of candy for his role.
The movie seemed to be on a downward spiral. I mean, it was ok in the beginning, but it just got progressively worse, since the ending annoyed the crap out of me. I mean, seriously, "I'm Sandman, I'm going away forever now." So many little things bugged the crap out of me, and it's the kind of movie where you want to let every little thing slide, because you think there'll be a moment of pure awesomeness at the end which'll let it all go. But, I found myself saying "Aww, don't do that, that's stupid" more often than not at the major parts. They left out a lot of the cool stuff the black suit could do. Instead of showing off everything cool about it, and how it progressively turned him into a badguy, they just threw it in there, and said "Oh, he's bad now."
It was a real dissapointment, but, luckily, I didn't pay for my ticket. So it's all good on my part.
Also, J.J. is funnay.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. I think I was still reeling from the awesomeness of French Bruce Campbell.
I was rereading Maximum Carnage. This particular panel stuck out to me and I wanted to share it.
Vemon and Carnage look so totally badass the way he draws them.
And not cast skinny ass Topher Grace as Eddie Brock. If they had cast, say, Gilbert Gottfried as Venom, then Venom would have been unarguably the BEST villain ever.
Basically I knew the movie was going to be bad, but that 70's funk-emo patrol had me rolling in the aisles. And when Mary-Jane was dumping him on that bridge, I nearly died. The boy couldn't fake cry if his life depended on it: He was all "This scene must end now, before I damage my future acting career any more".
Plus the casting of the weedy dude from that 70's show as Brock was a baffling decision, I mean he has plenty of spite etc to feed off, but the symbiote can only enhance a person's strength so much, some of it would have to be theirs.
The butler helped promote the theory that all butlers are evil though. "I've known how your father died all along, now that you've trashed your friendships, your life in general and your face I will reveal that fact".
