Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Mousey Girl]

I own Spiderman 2, but have yet to watch it.

About the only thing out right now that I would like to see is Stardust, but I don't see going to the movies in my immediate future.

I did finally watch DaVinchi Code and I enjoyed it, but I was really glad I had read the book first. Now I need to reread the book.

I find myself looking forward to Angels & Demons on film, but I'm not sure how long the wait will be.

Despite what some who post here may claim, Spider-Man 2 is the best comic book movie ever made.


The Da Vinchi Code sucked, because it was merely enjoyable.


I'm bummed I didn't get to see Stardust in theaters ... but it did so poorly I have hopes it will be on DVD very soon.


I will totally see Beowolf, but nothing I've seen impresses me so far.

To get pedantic, if you change "best comic book movie" to "best superhero movie" then I think the argument is more solid.

As movies, Ghost World, A History of Violence (graphic novel), and American Splendor, for example, are far better (in my opinion) than Spider-Man 2.

Personally, I wasn't totally enthralled by Spider-Man 2, though it was definitely a good movie. If I picked among the more traditional superhero, action comic book movies I think I would go with Batman Begins as my preference.

I have Batman Begins too, but have yet to watch it.

I had to come up with a Christmas list every year for the in-laws. Since I refused to put underwear and cleaning products on my list I put dvds. I have at least 30 that I have never watched.

Saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch last night and found it delightful - though I wish I had caught the stage show when it came to the Roxy.

[Not Afraid]

I missed Inland Empire in the theaters. Fill up my calender, people.

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, and Alex is correct re Superhero vs. Comic movie.



In which case, I'd put A History of Violence as the best comic book movie.

Alan Rickman has the sexiest voice in the English-speaking world, followed closely by Jeremy Irons. (Why yes, I am horribly disappointed that there may be a new Spaceship Earth narrator. So much for my air-conditioned fantasy ride. Unless Alan Rickman does the new narration, in which case I'm buying an AP. No matter where I end up living.)

Across the Universe is currently playing at one (1) ONE!!!!! venue in SF. Is the film only in limited release? Sheesh.....it's not even at the Kabuki which is a short jaunt for me, no I'd have to hit the tourist area at 835 Market Street. Yuck! I hope it plays somewhere else in town.
