Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Tep, have you seen the crossover idea that Troy and Abed were both working for SHIELD, and that's why the only thing working in Fury's SUV was the AC?

I keep thinking about that and cracking up.

Yes! That's kind of awesome.

That is hilarious!

PM,

I am going to chuckle about that for days.

As much as I really enjoyed the first Amazing Spider-Man movie, I am oddly ambivalent about the second one. Why? Too many villains is a problem (Spider-Man 3, I am looking at you, although that was FAR from your only problem). Harry Osborne troubles me (to be fair, that's probably because I thought James Franco was fantastic as Harry in the Raimi movies). And -- I'm not spoiled, just a Spidey reader from way back -- Gwen Stacy's fate is to be fridged, and I don't actually want to see that (assuming it happens, which the trailers seem to hint pretty strongly at).

All that said, I'll still probably see it this weekend.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I had mixed feelings about ASM. It had things I liked better than the Raimi films (mechanical web-shooters, wise-cracks, Gwen) and stuff I didn't (deciding to drop/skirt past iconic elements of his origin, the fact the Gwen and Peter's relationship mostly involved them mumbling incoherently at each other). I think if you blended the best of both ASM and SM1 you'd have the best solo super hero movie ever.

My reservations about ASM 2 are pretty much identical to yours, Steph.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

From what I've seen about ASM2, the thing I'm disliking the most is the garish, highly-stylized CGI that calls too much attention to itself.

I mean, the Green Lantern movie sucked for a myriad of reasons, but the thing that ultimately ruined the picture for me was that it was just so ugly to look at.

Pandora just served me an ad for a soundtrack to a Ryan Reynolds movie that came out in 2005 called "Just Friends". On the movie poster, Ryan Reynolds looks like he's in a fat suit. Is this the friendzone movie I never wanted?

Argh, the nearest showing of Only Lovers Left Alive is 20 miles away and ends on Thursday. I don't think I can make that happen.
