So I succumbed to doing what everyone is doing and went to see Spiderman 3 yesterday. Suprisingly I could follow what was going on being that I never saw 2 and didn’t remember much of 1. I went with my boyfriend and his dad (me and Josh have been together three years so me and his dad are working on getting to know each other; he’s pretty cool.)

As you would expect, the theatre was packed and on the side of me was this big group of black teenagers. Personally, I’m not racist (my Mom wasn’t and she raised me that way) but I was raised in the south and my dad is highly racist. When I would make a new friend in school, the first thing my Gramma would ask is “are they black?” So, while I don’t feel that black people are any different, I sometimes feel a little weird at first because of some of my family’s thoughts ingrained in me. I’m not proud of it. Before the movie started the guy on my left started a conversation with Pops (Josh’s dad) so I was in the middle. (As a sidenote, his dad used to be a bodybuilder so he’s HUGE so he sat in the middle because there was a group of little girls on the other side and he didn’t want to knock them in their face or anything). So Pops and this guy were chatting about Stan Lee and their favorite characters and the next Marvel movies and all that.

As we watched the movie, I noticed that everyone was having fun with it. It wasn’t this silent theatre with a few laughs like usual. There was noise but not in an annoying way. There was this one part where Peter’s landlord (who lived in the apartment next to him) was consoling him about him and MJ. It was a very serious scene. The landlord said (in his thick accent): “You good man. She good woman” and someone in the left of the theatre said (mimicking the accent): “Let’s make babies” and everyone in the theatre burst out laughing which was so funny in itself because the scene was so serious.

Personally, I didn’t see the point in Emo Spidey’s dancing scenes. Why was he walking down the road dancing. And the pelvic thrusts? It really DID show the cockiness and the expansion of Peter’s bad traits but at the same time, they could have shown it in a more believable way. I did like the hair flip though. Funnily, when Emo Spidey got all angry and violent, the guy next to me said “Spidey’s going Gangsta!” which I thought was funny because everyone was commenting on the fact of his emo-ness.

And, on the subject of his looks, I’m not too attacted to nerdy Peter but I do like both plain Spidey (when he’s not acting nerdy) and Emo Spidey (looks, not personality).

But, back to the point of this post, I loved that the audience was interacting more. It made the movie more interesting. When me and Josh were saying goodnight I kissed him and told him I loved him. He whispered in my ear: “I good man. You good woman” and then looked at me suggestively.
