Which origin story is true to the comics?
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

if you are a FAN of the character, you will probably like film better than someone who is a fan.
Did you leave out a "not"? Or do you just mean if you are a great big oh-god-I-love-Spidey fan, versus just being a yeah-I-like-Spider-Man-stuff fan?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the latter. I meant "fan" with a big-F, vs. fan with a little-f.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just got back, and I completely disagree with le nubian. Well, except on Emma Stone, because, duh. I enjoyed the way they handled the origin story (yes, again), I was never bored, I thought Andrew Garfield was wonderful, and I laughed quite a bit, as did the rest of the theater.
I thought it was a great first Spidey movie, and I look forward to more. I have whitefonty thoughts, but I'll wait till other people see it. And by people I mean Steph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read a comment saying that it was better than Dark Knight, pure awesomeness...
But then he said there were two deal-breakers he could get past, and also that Tesla really created a Death Ray, so I'm not sure I can make head nor tail of his commentary.

We're skipping the 5:00 show in lieu of a nap (not a euphemism). I think we're going to a later show, though.

This is why I'm good skipping Magic Mike.
And it does make sense. I can't just focus on the top right GIF, and not get distracted.

Ha ha ha, I haven't been keeping track!
mommy, someone got in the bad crack again.
We can agree on that, though.
