Watched Spider-Man tonight. Engrossing film, the character development was more than what I expected. I found it better than last year's X-Men; probably just because of the character development. If I had to choose the high points, they would be:
For some reason, I kept identifying with Peter Parker...the whole nerd thing, the whole being held to the "great responsibility" thing, the whole mutant superpowers thing...wait, maybe not.
This was the kind of movie that, afterwards, I wished I had paid to get in. Its not great, but it moved at a fast clip, and kept me entertained. The scenes where the camera flew through the city were breathtaking; the special effects were really, really well done.
Great trailers before the movie too: Triple X, Minority Report, MIB 2.
I almost wish I were still going to be working at Hoyts for the summer...I still could be, and I'm torn between the desire to see these movies and do my old job and be with my old friends, and move on and do something truly exciting and new for me. Either way...
Anyhow, Conan is on in a few minutes. Enjoy the links from today.
