Spider-Man 2.1

[The Fake Shemp]

Y'know, nobody knows wtf Miike is in Japan.  I have a book titled 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (birthday present from a friend), and a couple of my Japanese co-workers were looking at the Japanese movies included in it, and nobody knew what the fuck Audition was. 

Was Spider-Man in it?

My cousin's daughter was over for Christmas one year (I'm still not sure what that makes her - my second cousin? Niece?) and she saw Spirited Away on the DVD case and asked to watch it.  After about thirty minutes she asked to switch to Disney's Little Mermaid.

It was not.  Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Star Wars Episode I were. 

[The Fake Shemp]

That's a not a gift at all, then.

It's pretty good when it comes to older movies, but as it reaches the '90s you can tell the writers want to get some "hip", popular movies in there.  The first LotR movie is in it too.

Kill Bill is better than Spider-Man

[Ichirou]

No, it's really, really not.

[Van Cruncheon]

i didn't enjoy kill bill vol. 1. never watched vol. 2.

[Bloodwake]

No, it's really, really not.

Yes, it really, really is, in almost every aspect.

[The Fake Shemp]

No.

[Bloodwake]

No.

Okay, agree to disagree. I'm obviously a biased Tarantino fanboy, and you like the Spider-Man films.

[Ichirou]

No.

The Kill Bill movies blew.

[Bloodwake]

No.

The Kill Bill movies blew.

Hmm. Kill Bill had good atmosphere, awesome fight sequences that were well choreographed, and the film was extremely fun to watch, like EVERY Tarantino movie.

I can get TPM being in there if its about important movies, not just the 1001 BEST movies. Because even with TPM's many many many many many many flaws it was one of the biggest events in films in the last 20 years like it or not and it seeped rather quickly into pop culture(mainly jar jar and darth maul)

Part 1 had no substance.  People might argue that you get the substance in part 2, but if that's the case, how can we ever believe that these are two halves to the same movie?

Ive been down on S-M3 from the get-go. Ever piece of information that came out, every picture, and every trailer has looked "off", and I was preparing for a stinker. However, latetly, Im starting to think like Willco is - the movie will be decent, with flashes of greatness. The early buzz has been surprisingly positive, so perhaps going in fearing the worst will let S-M3 pleasantly surprise me. Even still, Im predicting that I'll find the series:

- S-M1: fun but flawed - 7/10
- S-M2: my fav comic book movie ever - 9/10
- S-M3: not appallingly bad, not great - 7/10

Well see soon enough, I guess. Im gonna be out of town from April 27th to May 11th, so I wont be seeing Spidey until the 11th or 12th, a week into its run.

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, I don't think it'll be abomination, but it won't be Spidey 2.

[Solo]

Thats for sure, but then, nothing is to me. Even the holy BB is just below S-M2 for me. The only thing on the radar that could replace S-M2 in my eyes is The Dark Knight.
