Didn't see Spidey 3. But an obscure gem for the oldies fans.

There's Always a Woman is a late '30s screwball comedy. Bill Reardon (Melvyn Douglas) is a private eye with little success. While he's busy getting his job back as an investigator with the D.A.'s office, his wife Sally (Joan Blondell) finds a client (Mary Astor). Both Bill and Sally end up investigating the murder that follows.

In other words, the plot is The Thin Man meets Adam's Rib. But it's a lot of fun, especially trying to figure out what Sally will do next. Plus, a lot of one-liners come out of the screwball assumption that marriages work a lot better when the spouses don't take each other too seriously. And Douglas and Blondell, while not Loy and Powell or Tracy and Hepburn, have enough chemistry to pull it off.

Saw Spidey 3 last night. Uh....yeah. I'm just going to pretend that the film snapped in the projector right before the Pete/Gwen jazz club scene and that I have no idea how the movie ended.

The success of Spider-Man 3 brought promises of additional episodes of Spidey and his enemies. "There'll be a fourth and a fifth and sixth and a seventh," Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal told Daily Variety. "As many stories as Peter Parker has to tell, we'll do sequels." Her colleague, Michael Lynton, told the BBC that there would be "as many as we can make good stories for. ... Everybody's been so busy trying to get this one out that that's been the focus. ... When everybody comes up for air, we can think about how to make the next one." Lynton added that, although the critics by and large drubbed the film, "the exit polls show that the audience really loved the movie, and that's what counts." Sony distribution chief Jeff Blake told the New York Times that the box-office count "justifies the expense of a franchise picture like this. And I think it's a great sign for the summer."

Ooh. I didn't know Chow Yun-Fat was slated to be in Pirates.

He's in all the trailers, brenda.

Which isn't me chiding you for not knowing--just indicating that it's not whitefontworthy.

Ah. I thought not, but wasn't one hundred percent.

Oooooh. Maybe in the 4th one, there'll be an extended dance scene, a la West Side Story. Maybe Spidey will even dance in costume!

Here's Spider-Man 4 for you, Tep.

P-C, you are an eeeeeevil, evil man.

Saw Spidey 3 tonight.

I agree with a lot of things said upthread, but I still found myself liking the damn film. Which, I don't know what that says about me. Probably that I'm just easy.

I do think that this was a damn WASTE of Topher Grace and Venom. But I kinda want to see Topher play a vampire now. Yowza .

See? Totally easy.
