Spiderman 3 Review
I went out to see Spiderman 3 at the midnight showing. It was a lot of fun being in the theater with a bunch of rowdy fans. And the movie was...well ...decent. 3/5

I mean at the time I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was caught up in the moment and enjoying the special effects. It wasn't until after that I started nit-picking and realized how many flaws it had.

It's biggest problem was one thing: Too much of everything. There were WAY too many plots in the movie and way too much forced problems/solutions.

The problems between him and Mary Jane for starters, are way too much. For starters, the kiss...What the frack was up with that? It was so soap-operahish and forced. It felt so fake, abrupt and un-needed. The rest of the setup would have surficed. The trouble between them didn't need to go that deep to fit the needs of the movie. Even the symbiote's influence alone based on the strain between them would have surficed. There was no need for a deep bitterness between them. It would have been better to leave the relationship stuff out for awhile and deal more with Harry.

And to that, they had too many villains and their plots going on. To do it right, they didn't need Sandman in my oppinion. Don't get me wrong. His plot was well designed and one of the best parts. But it didn't work with the trilogy effect nor with the overall movie. It just gets lost in a heep of stories. Besides, in movie terms, haven't we already dealt with Uncle Ben? It didn't need to come back up like this.

As for if we cut out Sandman, the main focus could have been a lot more straightforward between Harry and him with Venom in there to provide a solid villain. It could have arrived at the same end with Harry's choice, but it would have been better planned. It felt like they were building okay with them, but then it just suddenly changed into the final form after the black suit Spidey and then suddenly the buttler's message to Harry. I was like, "What the hell, it would have been nice for you to speak up a little earlier dipshit!" ><

And if you'd used Venom as the main badguy, and made Eddie to feel right like he'd actually become Venom, then it would have worked great for the end result. Venom was not nearly as powerful as his original counterpart. (He didn't even look it...He wasn't beefy...He looked like Spiderman with Venom's head...and acted more like Carnage) If he'd been he would have made the perfect growing villain behind the scenes. Venom's simple hatred of Spidey would have been enough to use him to counteract the emotional plot between Harry and Peter.

So all-in-all...I did enjoy it. I'll probably even buy it just because. I just don't think it lived up to its potential, as the director seemed to want to throw everything he had in his head at us at once, likely cause he wanted to be able to end it after Maguire and Dunst left the franchise. But what we needed was less of him getting in everything he loved about the series and more organized, fulfilling plot.

If anyone hasn't noticed my trouble with updating, let me just start by saying I've been having a bit of trouble getting stuff out on time lately. The reason for all this is the semester is about to end.

The problem is, I've been playing catch up this ENTIRE semester. I've never been caught up once. It's been very nerve racking. >< A lot of it has to do with taking four of the most time consuming classes I've ever taken, all at once. The other part has to do with operating a webcomic and actually hitting weekly updates, while trying to produce a comic for print as well.

So now the site is getting hit all at once and I'm having to let the comic updates miss every once and awhile as I just don't have the time since I HAVE to have my catch-up work done in two weeks or I'll be screwed.

So a few comics will be missed, like I did with the main comic a couple weeks ago. This week I think I'm going to have to skip updating the LotP comic, as I don't have time to update it. But I'll try and only skip the little comics like Chibi or LotP from now on, as I believe it's better that I update the main comic once rather than two side comics.

Anyway, as I've said before. Thanks everyone for your understanding. I really appreciate it. Hopefully June will bring things into being a little more steady and predictable.

Ok the little comic about it was a joke (Chibi comic #5), but the good new is that last monday I finally got off of my anti-depressants! Woo hoo!!

I was put on them shortly after my daddy ran away with a little "hooker-bitch" four years ago (No I'm not bitter at all >=), and I'd been trying to get off of them for a little over a year now.

Today is the first day I have not had with-draws from not taking the medication in a week!

(These include: headach, diziness, nausia, and uncontrollable crying for reasons like....a bug splatted on your car window...the poor bug...*sniff*)

Never get on these pills they will **** you over in the head...seriously.
