That's my thought. I first went to the Great Wall two years ago, having completed my goal of climbing the Great Wall. So coming back this year, my next logical goal was to pee off it. After that, I guess I'll have to mock the Mongolians.
That is truly incredible. Last night I watched Plan 9 from Outer Space for the first time. I was expecting it to be bad and all, but somehow, it went way above (below?) my expectations. My hat is off to Ed Wood.
Nearly everything's in good working order, the tires hold air, as far as I can tell the only two things I need to fix are the front shifter cables and I need a second one of that little metal piece I drew the arrow pointing at for the other side of the seat mount.
That scene where he was 70s strutting down the street doing finger guns at all the ladies...I laughed myself silly. And the bar scene..how could you not love that? Oh well. To each his/her own.

Okay, was I not the only one who burst out laughing when he straight up smacked Mary Jane? I got a few dirty glances in the theater, but man. That shit was funny.
I remember seeing it with Andrew and a bunch of other people in college during opening weekend. The entire theater erupted in cynical laughter when Spiderman ran in front of the giant waving American flag just before his final battle with Venom and Sand Man.
And yes, Venom deserved so much better than 5 minutes of screen time and a sissy bomb death.
He shouldn't have even been in the movie. Spider-man should have lost the suit and Venom should have shown up in movie #4, and he needed to be played by ANYONE other than that little pansy.
EDIT: Yes, the American flag was the worst part of the movie, I really hope it was just a call-back to the previous movies, and not Sam Raimi trying to say that Spider Man is America, or something.
OH GOD THE AMERICAN FLAG....... Holy christ that was the dumbest fucking thing ever. What the fuck purpose did that serve?
And I don't think they'll do Carnage... I dunno, it doesn't seem like their style to include a totally fucked up, murderous villain. Spider-man isn't edgy enough already, and you know they'll forever be pandering to the audience they've established.... you know, the feel-good PG/PG13 crowd of soccer moms and their brood. Mass murder doesn't fit well with that.
If you like movies that walk the line between funny-bad and just-plain-bad then Spiderman 3 is for you.
You will laugh at things that don't seem like they were supposed to be funny. You will groan at things that are trying to be inspiring. At the end of the movie you will yawn and go about your day.

I paid thirty five dollars for it.
Matt and I rented all the Spiderman movies this weekend. I hadn't seen the 2nd or 3rd. I really like the 3rd.
I just lost all respect for you.
I liked the first two movies, but the third just didn't do it for me. My favorite superhero movie so far is, I think, Iron Man.

But as much as I like being lazy, I need hours so it's kind of love/hate situation.
