Zarban, I love this running /fickle joke you have going.
And I really like it at the moment. ![]()
I like the first two Spider-man movies, but I don't love them. The things you guys talked about, it being two cartoony, is why I liked it. Because my background of Spider-man comes from the saturday morning cartoon, light hearted and a little ridiculous. If Batman was treated like this, I would be yelling bloody murder. In my mind, Spider-man is for kids, light and easy to understand, cartoony, where Batman is for adults, dark, complicated, and gritty. I don't disagree with what you brought up, I guess I'm willing to accept it.
you guys are great btw, this movie just deserved a much better discussion about why it succeeds or fails than you guys gave it.
Just for future note: when a movie has a 90%+ on rotten tomatoes i dont care whether you agree or disagree but you really need to explore the reasons why that 90+ did like it and why they are wrong if that is your view point.
there are all kinds of movies that just dont work for me because i cant relate to the characters but even when that happens I can still generally critisise the movie objectively and say "well these lines and/or action do support the character/theme even though i can not relate to the character/characters". Just because i cant relate does not mean its bad. It just means i cant relate. If most of the actions are trying to serve the character (and in the case of this move) the theme of the movie at the same time, it is still a strong/good movie.
Mr. Pointy is the name of Buffy's stake. My name is taken from a Buffy quote.....
Mr. Pointy is my favourite too ![]()
Thanks guys, maybe I should quit while I'm ahead.
Edit: And I love that Oz quote Shifty.
<facepalm>. Ah, crap... I forgot ya was a Scot shifty! Sorry for the slight there.
Not at all, mate. Scot, Brit, it's all good. I put 'am' in italics after I realised my post originally looked like I was trying to correct you. Which wasn't my intention ![]()
And Mr. Pointy? I was just checking, always a pleasure to meet another Buffy fan ![]()
Just finished this commentary up, and I do have some things to say. A lot of times, it was mentioned that the commentators wanted a "grittier" Spiderman. There actually is one that exists, one that is anchored in a more "this universe" feel. And that's Spiderman Noir. Set in the '30s, it's a great read, with villains who are more grounded in reality (if I recall, the Green Goblin is actually a crazy, hump-backed circus freak) and things of that nature. I certainly recommend it; who knows, maybe that will be a good movie to make because, as was said earlier, it's the noir style movie and it's got a very gritty feel.
i went searching for the script for this and just found out that Mr. Sargant will be writing a polish of the new spidey reboot... That probably means the new flick is gonna suck...
