I'm with Hec in preferring the sequel. Only slightly. And with Emmett in my love of rootbeer. Personally, I think there's a distinction between gentle mockery and trash talk, but my least favorite thing Wives say about Husbands is "It's like having another child." Yeah, sign me up. But weirdly, they are the type to pimp marriage hardest...what is *that*? Although after last night's "Rescue Me" my least favorite is Janet saying she was glad Connor died before he could become like Tommy. Ouch

Because it IS.

Emmett is only wacky in the "he's so right" way.

Insanity! I usually like Willem Dafoe but he was way too broad as the Goblin. Compare and contrast with Molina's soulful Doc Ock.

Also t sniff the Spidey-Jesus imagery of 2 was way more compelling than Unca Ben's death scene. Also much better special effects in 2.

To the credit column of Spidey 1 goes the instantly iconic upside-down kiss in the rain, and the scene of Peter figuring out how to make his web shoot. (Which had Emmett waggling his fingers like heavy metal devil horns for fifteen minutes and giggling.)

I don't know - this kind of pings me oddly because during some of the really worst stretches between my parents, this could easily have been my mother.

This is my mother. And if he won't leave her, then she's never going to change.

Has bought that t-shirt on a number of occasions

What Hec Said. (except I didn't *know* that Emmett would do that, it doesn't surprise somebody who used to keep Han Solo in her fridge sometimes.We froze him a lot.)

Someone make me go do my homework.

I don't wanna!

Wait, we all know that tag will never close.

Spidey 2 is better than Spidey 1.

Polter-Cow has spoken.

Although after last night's "Rescue Me" my least favorite is

Oh yeah, that was harsh. Especially since Tommy's...memfault - does Dean Winters play his brother or his cousin (and did you notice he's now in the main credits)? - who she's shacking up with now ain't much better a potential role model.

It's only when you were much, much closer to the situation that it became apparent what was really going on, and how much of the provocation was both unseen and totally deliberate.

See, that's the thing. At first I was like, You married these guys! Don't you like them at all?! And then I began to hear more and more about what their husbands would "let" them do, and how they'd asked their husbands to "babysit" HIS OWN kids, etc.

At the same time, I think real husband abuse is often something not taken seriously, maybe because it's more often verbal/emotional.

Insanity! I usually like Willem Dafoe but he was way too broad as the Goblin. Compare and contrast with Molina's soulful Doc Ock.

Maybe. I could be liking Spidey I more simply because I've seen it so many more times than II.

Polter-Cow is wise.

I thought both Spiderman movies were kinda silly and boring. However, I have absolutely zero emotional investment in Spiderman, so I kinda expected to be meh about the movies.
