So. Spiderman III. It's no Batman Forever, but... ( spoilers, if there's anyone who actually *cares* )
So did I like it? Parts of it. There were parts that were glorious. Then there was the rest of the film. The most criminal thing about a movie like this is that the flashes of brilliance were frequent enough and sparkling enough that I know the rest of the movie could have been so much better. Now, I find Spiderman as a character cringingly tedious, and the Spiderman films are pretty darned painful to watch (except for the parts with James Franco). I'll admit to that bias, no problem. That's not to say there weren't parts of this film I quite enjoyed. There were many parts that were excellent, but they didn't flow with the rest of the film, nor was the rest of the film up to the level of the excellent supporting characters and cameos. I won't rush out to see it again. Of the $12 that it cost to get into the theatre, a good $9 of that was excusable because of James Franco.
Enough of that.
For the past few days at work I've been doing pretty serious graphic design stuff. If James Franco isn't available, I'd consider marrying Adobe's In Design software. It's a beautiful piece of programming and made these projects not only possible but also easy. Easier than fighting with Illustrator or Quark, anyway.
And today after work I got to meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
squonk in person! We'd decided that knowing each other through lj and living in the same city (practically the same neighbourhood, no less) and not at least having a tea together was just silly. We had a good long chat and I was nearly late for Spiderman III. (Also? this is the vid I was telling you about!)
...now it's nearly 1am (just how long was that movie, anyway?) and I can barely keep my eyes open. *waves at everyone* Bed bed bed. It's been a long week full of lots of wonderful things (and a few strange things, too). Bed bed bed. Maybe tomorrow I'll sleep in until 9am. Mmm... the freedom of the weekend. AND TOMORROW WE'RE SEEING WAITRESS!
