Neither The Color of Money nor Tron Legacy were terrible. They weren't great but they were certainly watchable.

More like Macb.... um...

Nah, I want to avoid the pitchforks and torches.

I agree.

"Look down, now look back up. What's in my hand? It's Kryptonite. Look again. The Kryptonite is now the Ultimate Nullifier. Anything is possible when your fictional character smells like me.

I'm on Fin Fang Foom."

Amazon almost always has a huge price drop about a month after release. From there it will climb slowly back up and then drop even lower a few months later. I always wait that extra month.

That is a horrible price for blu-ray. I paid about $18 each for mine. And all of them are the blu-ray+dvd+digital editions.

Even though they call them sewers the tunnels under the city carry rain water, water from washing down the streets, and any other water that makes it into the storm drains. Depending on how recently a large or protracted storm has flushed the streets the water can be fairly clean.

Now to my good/bad opinion of the movie.

Good: They definitely nailed the wise cracking Spider-Man. The special effects, the webbing effects and the writing were in my opinion all much better than the Raimi versions as well. I especially love the fact that they used parkour runners to do many of the Spider-Man stunts (heh, Peter Parkour). It made the movement look much more natural.

Bad: Webb is terrible at getting real emotions out of his actors. Emma Stone was wooden at best. She isn't the worlds greatest actress to begin with but it felt like she was walking through the part. Garfield was even worse. Every single scene he felt like he was acting out the emotions. Yes I know he was acting but it isn't supposed to feel like that when you are watching. In fact the only real emotions I felt from any of the actors were in the two places I shouldn't have. First was the Lizard. I chalk that one up to the animators work on his facial expressions. The second was Ben's phone message to Peter. Sheen came up with more real emotion in that scene where he wasn't even visible than he did in all his other scenes put together.

Conclusion: Good writing. Good action. No heart at all.

Now that is a statement I agree with 150% (it was only 100% but then I used agreement enhancements)

Agreed. I'm not sure why Scythus posted a bunch of links that don't actually go anywhere. Perhaps that is a subtle comment that there should have been a franchise.

You didn't understand the article Scythus. I know you say you did but in this case you are wrong. The author of that article actually meant that he agreed completely with what Heinlein said. He meant that his own thoughts were chaotic at best and that Heinlein's writings were so far beyond his comprehension that he was struggling just to get words down on paper. I know you think the author of that paper understood what he was writing but as you can see by my interpretation he obviously didn't.

See how that works?

Not intending to insult or infuriate you but arguing that the person who wrote something didn't mean what he thought he meant is about the most specious argument I've ever heard.

Thank god I'm not the only one to think that.

Or should that be thank Bastet?

Explosions?

Slow Motion?

Screaming children?

People talking on their phone?
