Raimi, I am ashamed
May. 10th, 2007 03:01 amWe anted up and saw Spider-man 3 at IMAX this evening. Because a) I bow to genius, b) I am a lazy mofo and 3) I completely concur, I will begin my scattershot opinion post by quoting the entirety of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
klaw's review.
When I left the theatre the first thing out of my mouth was "well, at least that preview for Harry Potter looked totally kick-ass".* The ending pissed me off. Medical attention! Is that too much to ask, people?!? And revisionist scripting makes me want to hurl heavy objects through large screens. Ugh.
On a "what I'm reading" note: while at the library some time ago I picked up His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik and only got around to reading it after I realized I had to renew it or pay late fees on it. Once I started it sucked me right in. I finished it yesterday night and then rushed to grab the two subsequent books (Throne of Jade and Black Powder War) from the library before going to the movies. They read like an O'Brian Aubrey novel with dragons substituted for ships, and as I'm a big fan of the nautical tales that's a plus.
My schedule at work this mouth is great: I don't have any split weekends, and I only have one week where I have less than two days off between shifts. Perks, indeed.
Finally, a computer question: is there a way to export links saved on Internet Explorer? I'm pretty sure my computer is going to keel over in a couple of weeks and I'd like to try to salvage what I can now. Forget it, answered my own question. Sometimes it helps to actually look on the computer before asking a question. ::is ashamed::
*Seriously, the movie looks like it'll be amazing. And at IMAX it's going to be in 3D which, if you didn't see the dragon fight in 'Goblet of Fire' in IMAX 3D you really don't know what you missed. Plus, Snape! and Neville! I want to take Neville from OotP, package him, and sell him.
klaw's review.The movie will lure you in with a strong start, and you will think, 'This movie is awesome!'
Then, it will turn for the south in a sneaky sort of way, and you will think, 'There's a bit of a lull here...'
Then, it will crush your hopes and dreams and make you wish you had never been born. You will think, "OMG I GET IT ALREADY THIS IS NO LONGER FUNNY."
The movie will then give you a glimpse of hope that it was just a brief flirtation with being incredibly awful, and will return to the awesomeness of the first part of the movie.
Lastly, it will also crush that dream.
