Spider-Man 2: good.

Of course, I could be biased since Bruce was in it again (and Ted Raimi except I didn't realize it was him till hitting IMDB, which shames me to my very core). And since there was plenty of fangirl eye-candy for me to enjoy. Tobey Maguire is very nice to look at when he puts them glasses on. And the guy what played Doc Ock, I don't think I've ever heard of him before but wow, he can be simply adorable when he wants to be. I do not know why there are no good shots of him from S-M2 on IMDB, but regardless. If he were about thirty years younger I might have to swoon. Yes. As it is I will merely say "mmm. various bits of fangirl eye-candy." before getting distracted by Galaxies some more.

I am not normal. I never claimed to be. You normal girls can have your Brad Pitts or Ben Afflecks or whoever is the Hollywood pretty-boy this week, I don't even know anymore. I'll continue to prefer looking at the fellows what are nice and geeky and/or either too fat or too skinny for your conventional tastes. So, uh, ha. I think. Actually I'm not sure what I'm talking about anymore, so.

Hey, look, Galaxies! Time to find some stormies to beat with my tiny Rodian fists of doom.

I thought of you when I saw Bruce! I wrote a post a little bit ago talking about what things remind me of certain people. And I think Bruce will always remind me of you.

You might be more normal than you think...I think that Toby guy is starting to get a fangirl following..

Oh, he already had one. But see, I only really like him when he's in the glasses. That's the kicker.

Plus I was already aware that I had some overlapping tastes with normal peopleses, so it works out.

I didn't know who you were talking about, so I checked IMDB to see who Bruce was. I had no idea that that was Bruce Campbell or, for that matter, that the director was the same guy who did "Army of Darkness". Huh.

Also, it's too bad that women aren't allowed to be actors unless they at least partially meet the criteria for being "hot" set forth by Hollywood. I, too, am abnormal in that I don't find most actresses "hot" that guys are supposed to.

Bruce is, well, Bruce. Yes. And yeah, one of the director's brothers was in both Spider-Man movies too... and the same car that shows up in just about all Raimi movies, was in the first movie. I don't think it was in the second, but then, I wasn't looking.

@set me = geek

Normal people are boring anyway.

Alfred Molina is a fine character actor currently playing Tevye the dairyman in "Fiddler on the Roof" on boradway, and whose previous roles included a semi-Hispanic gunslinger in the film version of Maverick, Snidely Whiplash in the film version of Dudley Do-Right, and Hercule Pirot in a TV movie version of Murder on the Orient Express. With that resume, not your normal heart-throb, true, but definitely has screen presence. Hope to see Spider-Man 2 after we come back from Con (surprised you missed Ted, though, mainly since he's reprising his role from the first film, and apart from glasses, seemed fairly recognizable that time). Apparently Stan Lee also saved a woman from falling rubble in the movie. Good for him!

Yeah, on reading his name on IMDB I was like "oh, DUH, of COURSE that was Ted!," which is why the shame. Also, yep, ol' Stan does indeed save someone from being squished!

yeah since you IMDB'd that guy Alfred you would have noticed he was in a few other movies you'd probably have seen but wouldn't have noticed

Actually, I think the only other one I've seen was Magnolia.

Yes, I've never watched any Indiana Jones movies. I am, how you say, deprived. And such.
