Spider-man

Repeat after me: No two hours is ever wasted when a wet Kirsten Dunst is involved (even with the silly looking red hair).  That's always been my subliminal mantra, but never has it stood more true than with this movie, which by and large could have been an enourmous waste of time.

That being said, this movie was not as horrible as I was expecting.  It was pretty predictable Hollywood action formula but a few things stood out.

  1. The performances of Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin and J.K Simmons (aka Vern Schillinger from HBO's Oz) as JJ Jameson were great. 
  2. I'm aware there was some re-editing involved in order to remove some featured World Trade Center shots in the movie, but I wonder what else was added/removed.  There's some interesting sequences that I'm curious to know if they were added later.  Specifically some of the comments of the crowd on the Brooklyn Bridge, but also a few other items which I'd be interested to learn the provenance of.  I don't suppose there's anyway to find out.  Note that this does not make the movie any more interesting, but I'm the curious type.

I've reworked my "Recent Listening/Watching" section because it was kind of boring.  The entries on the sidebar now lead to some thoughts about albums and such.  Sometimes they'll be blank, but they'll always at least include a link to somewhere for more information, and will usually include at the very least some useless blathering.
