Random Thoughts After Seeing Spiderman 3
We never find out what The Sandman’s daughter’s illness is. I like to think it’s chickenpox, and The Sandman is just a very over-protective father. “I killed him because he got in between me and the calamine lotion my daughter needed to live!” That would be dope.

Butler wins points by waiting until many, many tragedies have befallen Harry before letting him know he knew everything and that the Goblin was responsible for his own death and that Harry should just let it go.
Way to be timely with that hot info, Alfred.
Wish Spiderman had died and Harry had lived. Harry seemed a lot more interesting. I’d go see a New Goblin movie. Spidey 4… meh… dunno.
Hey look, it’s Disco Stu^H^H^H Peter! Someone described it as “Night at the Roxbury 2″, and I wish I had. Soooooo silly.
Combovers? Evil. Rugby shirts? Kinda evil, but in a nice way.
Eddie Brock should get a job with Reuters.
The film is extra? Cameras use film? Hello, 21st century…

Yeah. I just left a very scathing review of it on my blog. Lets just say it was severely disappointing for this Marvel fanboi.
Also, when did the Green Goblin turn into a space ninja?

The Butler scene was simply too much. Don’t they have people who go over scripts for this sort of plot-hole-you-can-drive-a-goddamned-battleship-through flaw? (Answer yes, but you don’t make friends in Hollywood with red ink “wtf were you thinking?” corrections on their scripts.)
I heard 2 pre-teen girls on the way out of the theater calling him “Emo Parker.” Sort of an apt description of the movie in general. Hopeless, filled with incomprehensible angst, and emotionally confused.
Also, wrt to you-know-who’s cameo appearance (I won’t spoil it), is it just me or if someone uttered those lines to you on the street, would you be totally fucking creeped out too? I really think the next logical step in that scene is that you pass out and wake up in the middle of Saw IV.

You-know-who’s cameo reminded me of his cameo on The Simpsons, where he rams The Thing into a batmobile and tries to change into the Hulk.
Also, flipped up collar = evil. That was my favorite.

Okay. No one else I saw this with thought the butler was as much an affront as I did. Whew. I’m not infrakingsane. I guess the thing that irked me most about that dude (Paul Ott D’Vice is the character’s name, I’m pretty sure) was that is is SUCH a trademark of horrible, horrible movie making. Not only was it bare exposition, but it was also utter horse shit. How can you tell it was cuts from his own flyer thing? And, assuming you could be certain that was the murder weapon, how can you tell Peter didn’t go nuts and use it as a weapon or whatever. Or pin it under something and bash Daddy against it a bunch until he stopped breathing.
I can enjoy a movie despite my nerdy fanboy bitching (and I will bitch), but I can’t do that and forgive horrible movie making.
On a lighter note: I have no idea that the people of New York had so much use for sand that they keep beaches and beaches of it around for convenience.
