Kevin Spacey
Best part of the movie. First time I ever wanted Clark to have his pansy ass kicked.
Saying "Loi-th Lane?" around his toothbrush KILLED me ded.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Ha! Beatcha, P-C!
Batman and Iron Man and Hulk and Hellboy and Speed Racer and Wall-E and Indiana Jones and X-Files.
I don't know how I feel about Hulk, and I can take or leave Speed Racer, and I'm kind of MEH on Wall-E, and X-Files is sorta....over, for me.
But Iron Man! And Hellboy! And Dark Knight! And INDY!!!!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Dark Knight isn't until December, I think.
I wanna see Iron Man right now!
I'm not sure I've ever had cause to say this, but: MM, get outta my brain!
Heh. Maybe not. But I think you and I are one with the "WTF?! He's a skeevy disco guy? THIS is 'evil Pete'? THIS?!"
Also: "PICK A FUCKING VILLAIN! Has the first Batman movie franchise taught you NOTHING?! One villain: Awesome. Two villains: Can still be awesome. THREE VILLAINS: Constructed Entirely of SUCK!"
They WASTED all three villains! Sandman...well, that wasn't so great a story-line, so I don't mind that they wasted it. I DO mind that they wasted my time by including it at all.
New Goblin: Could have been awesome. Not enough time. Wasted.
Venom: WAY TO BRING HIM IN TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING, RAIMI! Jesus! If Venom had been the only villain, maybe you'd have had enough time to do some decent "power corrupts", "Parker goes back to his roots, triumphs over evil in self" "Fights Venom as Embodiment of Corruption, triumphs over evil in general." But NOOOOOOOO!!
Hmph. Still mad about that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Tony Stark makes you feel,
He's a cool exec with a heart of steel.
And IRON MAN all jets ablaze,
He fights and smites with repulsor rays!
Amazing armor, it's IRON MAN!
A blazing bomber, it's IRON MAN!!

I adore "V for Vendetta" Unholy love for that movie have I. It's probably #1 for me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. Why did I think it was winter?
I'm going senile or something.

July, I thought. (Pleasepleaseplease.) t edit Thanks to the x-post, I can say: yay!!!!
But I think you and I are one with the "WTF?! He's a skeevy disco guy? THIS is 'evil Pete'? THIS?!"
Freaking Little Nicky, is what he was.
Also: "PICK A FUCKING VILLAIN! Has the first Batman movie franchise taught you NOTHING?! One villain: Awesome. Two villains: Can still be awesome. THREE VILLAINS: Constructed Entirely of SUCK!"
Well, I do get WHY they needed all 3 -- Goblin!Harry had to be evil so that he could have his Big Redemptive Death. If (in addition to Goblin!Harry) the movie had only Sandman or only Venom, Pete could have dispatched the Big Bad pretty plausibly. But having BOTH made it necessary for newly-good!asspull!Harry to team up with Pete.
But I agree -- I'm not sure that any director could have made it work, which means they should have changed the plot.
Sandman...well, that wasn't so great a story-line, so I don't mind that they wasted it. I DO mind that they wasted my time by including it at all.
The CGI was nifty, and I liked that Sandman wasn't just a one-dimensional baddie. And that's about all I can say about him.
Venom: WAY TO BRING HIM IN TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING, RAIMI!
Not to mention that the symbiote was never named in the movie. Plus -- IT DOESN'T TURN PETE INTO TWO WILD AND CRAZY GUYS!!!! Okay? It's EVIL, not douchey!
Hmph. Still mad about that.
Right there with you.
And the dance scene? And deus ex butler? No no no no no, a thousand times no.
