So H and I finally saw "Hot Fuzz" tonight. We both enjoyed it quite a bit.

Dumb personal story: in the first few seconds of the movie, when the lead character is introduced as "Nicholas Angel", I thought to myself: "I used to work with a Nick Angel at Island back in the day." As the end credits rolled, the Music Supervisor credit flashed on the screen "Nick Angel" - and I realized that I got yet another inside joke.

Peter Parker is a drippy, pathetic crybaby.

Where do I even begin? Stan Lee cameo was painful. The camera work in the scene where Aunt May comes to check up on Peter was annoying and took one right out of the story. And the "you can tell I'm evil now because my hair is different"? All it was missing was the goatee.

I could go on with the various story flaws, but I think they've been covered. But the biggest flaw, for me, was that the movie made Peter Parker totally unlikeable.

It's what I hate about sequels in general. The only way they know to spice up a de-facto tired concept is to have the characters become horrible, and then turn on each other.

Spider-Man 3, Pirates 2, Empire Strikes Back, I could go on and on.



Bleh.

Oooh - just remembered that one of the trailers piqued my interest - "Across the Universe". Anyone heard the buzz on this? Interesting? Sucks? Seems like it has the potential to go either way.

Well, it's Julie Taymor. I've loved one of her B'Way productions (The Lion King) and hated one (The Green Bird). I loved her movie Titus... so therefore... I have absolutely no idea.

Her battle with the producers to get her cut released has become legendarily infamous around Hollywood in the last few weeks.

She does not have final cut on the film, so I'm betting it's going to be re-cut without her approval. But it's purportedly a confusing mess as it now stands.
