[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
And Claire Daines.
Also true.
Spiderman (don't remember which one) had that kind of stuff and it had lines like "I've always been standing in your doorway" which I'm still rolling my eyes over.
I also didn't think Spidey 3 was as abominable as purported (although some particular scenes were indeed quite WTF), but it definitely wasn't as good as the first two.
You know, I actually told somebody Spidey 3 was pretty good. Then I saw this Youtube: [link] . I nearly cried. (Bonus: VIOLETS DAD!)
aurelia,
fwiw, I disliked T3 more than Spidey 3 - and I didn't like Spidey 3. P-C and Tiggy seemed to like T3, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I didn't think there was any reason for me to see that movie except that it was on AMC. Clearly I'm a crank about it. :-)
I didn't see Spidey 3 and based on that clip, I'm really not interested. I think since Spidey 2 and Fantastic Four 1 (there's some time I'll never get back) I've avoided summer blockbusters that don't involve pirates in eyeliner.
Julie Christie gave a nice shout-out to the writers at the SAGs.
I'm thinking that a teenager raised by Sarah Connor and possessing physical proof of killer robots from the future out to get him would manifest teenage foolishness via paranoid overreaction rather than staggering naiveté.

That is one of the aforementioned scenes, yes.

You didn't like Spidey 2 ?! I loved that more than the first one.
I think it was Spidey 2 that had the "standing in your doorway" line. I liked this actor [link] and the effects were sometimes cool, but I need story and characters that interest me.
I would have loved for something more to have happened in Spidey 2. He starts of being broke and loveless and in an untenable position wrt to integrating superheroing in his life.
He ends it with one more demand on his time than he started out with.
