Spiderman, Spiderman, come and catch us if you can

Saw Spiderman 3 tonight.

It was entertaining and worth $10, even if nowhere near as good as the first and especially second movie.

But it was very fun.

Also, James Franco? Too pretty for words. And is almost nekkid in one scene, to a great deal of audible appreciation from self, Best Friend and a lot of other members in the audience. Heh.

I'll have a proper review later (as well as get to all the comments left yesterday and today, I promise) but it's late and I want to go to bed.

So all I will say for now is:

I WANT HARRY AND PETER SLASH. NOW. ACTUALLY MAKE IT YESTERDAY.

And I don't even normally go for slash :)

P.S. The trailer for the fifth Harry Potter movie actually looked good, like something I'd want to see and I really dislike HP movies (much as I adore the books). Cudos to the promo people.

*writes down mousie requesting slash for future use*

You know, I think the addition of Gwen Stacy may have killed my interest in this movie. I mean they DID the major Gwen storylines(perfect girl Peter adores but can't get + dangling off the bridge) with MJ in the first movie, all bringing Gwen in now seems to do is say "hey look, Gwen" for the hardcore fans. Does she actually serve a purpose or, as one friend put it, is she "just there to make Peter be stupid"?(which, for him, is the equivalent of a full scale rant)

*apologizes for the ramblings of her inner comic geek*

Incidentally, since you asked me about period dramas recently: Someone uploaded the first few eps of the kdrama, Seo Dong Yo, to jdramas and I just finished the first ep. Nice angsty doomed forbidden love, even if it's just the main character's mother and her boyfriend. Doesn't grab you immediately like Damo or Emperor of the Sea-EotS took a page from Damo's book and opened with a short scene of 2 characters who obviously have a deep connection in battle(though there, it was former friends, and midseries events instead of end events, bad it had the same effect of pulling you in and making you want to know what got them there)-but it's pretty good so far. Gonna watch enough DLed eps to get a feel for the main character before adding it to my next order, though.

I am not a comics person at all so can't say whether her addition would be annoying to someone who loves the comics but her character made sense in the movie, though I suppose they could have named her anything else. She makes MJ jealous and shows the rift in the ship (organic one) really well. And she does dangle off things :D

heh...actually, i'm not much of a spiderman fan(very few of the big superheroes interest me because they're always too busy being iconic...the only real exception is wonder woman when she's handled well) I just hate when a spawned medium sacrifices it's canon to be sure to include a piece of comics canon...in this casre, movie MJ is a fusion of comics gwen and mj and they told gwen's relevant plotlines with mj in the first movie, making her irrelevant in movie canon in anything but a "look! gwen!" capacity.

*hopes that made sense*

See, that's what I mean about slash. I like it best when it just pops into your head from the canon without you even looking for it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

True. It's one of those things where it's not that I really believe they are a couple but would be a fun au.

did u hear about a scene they cut of them kinda kissing *more likely giving cpr but it looked like kissing* and i was like whoa they cut that??? apparently sam raimi was trying to be artsy since it was during brokeback... not sure if its true but hoping it is...

and i loved spidey 3... and worth not sleeping for but i don't know if its better than the first but i liked it a little more than the second one??? hmmm i might need to see it again to make sure

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL. If that wasthe case, I hope it's in cut scenes :)

I loved spidey 2 the best, then 1, then 3...

My fave fandom writer ever, hackthis, had a spur of Harry/Peter slash post-Spiderman 2. Link action!

They were mostly Harry-centric from what I recall and oh-so-deliciously angsty. (She used to also write the slash pairing I recall you enjoying, Smallville's Clark/Lex, though that was ages ago so I don't know how good that fic was.)

I wanna see this movie! I know not to expect anything brilliant but still, it's a must see.

Thank you for the link!

I loved Harry in this one, maybe because he actually got to seem like a nice guy for a bit and you could see why MJ and Peter liked him to begin with. Under all the angst and issues, Harry IS a nice guy who eventually does the right thing in the end.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I really liked him in this one. In part actually probably because Peter was being a jerk.
