Message: Take yourself to the movies!

I know it sounds weird but it's actually fun to sit by yourself and not have someone sitting on top of you and asking you for napkins.

Really. Going to the movies alone is great. I hate going with other people, as you always miss things. I usually go to the cheap senior citizen movies in the morning before work.

Its great, apparently senior citizens will pay to see any and every movie without even knowing the plot. I went to see Grindhouse and it was hilarious watching the elderly run from the theatre after about 5 minutes.

I was the only one left, in a theatre that could sit 200.....


Back on topic, Spiderman 3 was garbage. Spiderman 2 is one of my favorite movies but this was terrible. They tried to squeeze two movies into one. But with every great series theres always a bomb... Look at Die Hard 2, Return of The Jedi, anything after Rambo First Blood, anything after Rocky 3.. the list goes on.

I say Thumbs Up

I thought Spider-Man 3 (there was a hyphen... was anyone else weirded out by this? I guess they all had hyphens, but I don't remember the comic books having them) was actually really good for several reasons... I think that people go to see movies like this expecting an event, but I mean... the director is Sam Raimi, possibly the most prominent B-Movie director there is right now... He made a film that was very true to his sense of humor, and his stylistic vision.

I think the cheese-factor to the film was pretty on par with the comic in the mid 90's. The dialogue from the Spiderman series is pretty notoriously bad for personal delivery in a non-written format, but that's half the fun of it right?

I thought the music was really well written... I mean, sure the score wasn't Danny Elfman, but the themes were all his, so it's not like the actual musical vision was lost at all... It was touching, though it swelled up at odd moments sometimes.

As for SandmanI didn't think his existance within the film made it more difficult to watch, or the plot spread too thinly... I think that sometimes the pacing of scenes was a little off, like... the rythm could have been a little tighter

But honestly, who doesn't love a good Ted Raimi or Bruce Campbell cameo? Gives a film purpose if you ask me
