Your whitefont is correct. Which is one of my teeny quibbles with the film, just because I like my vampires to be bloodthirsty. I would have like to have seen Swinton/Hiddleston devour someone. I also would have liked Olde Timey Flashbacks, because seeing those two in historical costumes while being vampires would have been PERFECT.

I figure I know a Jarmusch movie and if it's vampire movie the way he did, say a western, or a prison break movie, I know exactly what I'm getting, which I love.

Exactly. It's gorgeous.

IRGT your whitefont comments, Jilli, that's actually what I expected one of your only quibbles to be, based on reviews.

On your other quibble I think those kind of flashbacks are very much not the thing Jarmusch would do. It's just not his nature. Heh.

On your other quibble

Yeah, I know it's not really something Jarmusch does, so it's not like I was expecting it, more like nurturing a mild hope.

Also, I desperately need crossover fic of this with the opening of The Hunger. John and Miriam cross paths with Adam and Eve, icy stares and pointed banter happen.

Where's the 'Like' button?

Seconded

Ah! Brilliant!

Man, Amazing Spider-Man 2 tried to cram WAY too much plotty stuff into one movie. That said, I liked it overall. If you go in accepting that Harry Osborne and Electro are going to chew the scenery like crazy, you can just sit back and go with it. I still really like Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, although I don't think anyone is supposed to accept that he's 19.

Also, I've been reading Spider-Man since I was 5, so even though I was unspoiled, I knew Gwen Stacy was going to die, because that's what happens to Gwen Stacy. Damn it.

And on the way home, Tim got to learn the phrase "Women in Refrigerators."

Oh, and this is only relevant to people who also watch Arrow, but (whitefonted for Spider-Man) Peter Parker is really giving Ollie competition in the "walking bag of pain" competition. Frankly, Batman needs to shut his whiny mouth.

I haven't watched the movie yet and normally don't like being spoiled, but I read the white font anyway because I wanted to know how they were handling that.

This is one instance where I would happily say screw reflecting the comic books.

My Veronica Mars DVD came!

Is it spoilery to talk about the making-of special?

This is one instance where I would happily say

I would, too. But apparently you can't have Gwen Stacy without fridging her eventually. Hell, in that scene, she was even wearing the same outfit from the original comic book. It was always going to happen, and it pisses me off, because I think Emma Stone did a great job as Gwen Stacy and needed to stick around.

I was trying to figure out, from this movie and visual hints dropped in it, who the Sinister Six could be in this iteration of the Spidey universe, and I've come up with The Lizard, The Vulture, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Electro, and Rhino. Which would be pretty decent. And god knows I like Rhys Ifans WAY better as the Lizard than I do as Mycroft on Elementary.
