J. Jonah Jameson is my role model...
...even if there is no "desk pounding action" in Spidey Deuce. There is, I'm happy to report, knee slapping action, and cigar chomping action.
Here's a short one, because I'm tired and want to go play Sleeping Beauty for about, oh, ten hours.
Things I Learned From Spiderman 2...
(MINOR SPOILERS AHOY)
1. The only villains allowed to exist in the Spiderman franchise must have split-personality disorder. WEAK! What happened to the days of the twirly moustache, people?! Last minute redemption scenes suck by their very nature. And, given the set up for the next film, we're right back to the crazy...swell.
2. Jake G. has put the voodoo on Kirsten Dunst, thereby not allowing her to have on-screen chemistry with anyone but him. Or, at least, that's what I'm going to blame for the romantic component of the film sucking ass.
3. Seeing Kirsten Dunst mangle "The Importance of Being Earnest" dialogue in a hammy Brit accent might be the funniest thing...oh...EVER.
4. Bruce Campbell is dead sexy, even when he's being snooty.
5. Peter Parker, though too preppy for my liking, is coming dangerously close to my cute nerdy boys in black plastic frame glasses archetype. Damn you, Tobey.
6. Sam Raimi, when allowed to have fun (a la the opperating room sequence), can still knock me on my ass.
7. Superheros can suffer psychosomatic loss of powers.
8. If your web slingers are currently on the fritz, it might not be the brightest idea to...oh, I dunno, leap off tall buildings. (see above)
9. And, most important, for all you future hero types out there- the moral:
Save one kid from a burning building, there's always gonna be one on the floor above that you didn't save. And then won't you feel like an idiot...
