8:40 AM Mr. Brown
I wonder how this new Spiderman is going to be
8:41 AM Mr. Blue
Probably terrible like the others
(to me at least)
8:41 AM Mr. Brown
It might be going the way of the new Batmans, which could make it good
More of a darker side instead of the straight comic book hero type
8:42 AM Mr. Blue
But Spiderman is a dumber presence than Batman
Crap premise: a wimpy kid bitten by a radioactive spider is cheese city
I don't see how you can do a realistic Spiderman
8:44 AM Mr. Brown
All he gets from the spider is climbing and super strength and senses
8:49 AM Mr. Silver
That's all? (sarcasm)
I watched the trailer and the only thing I saw different from the McGuire origin was different heads on the characters and an emphasis on POV camera
8:51 AM Mr. Brown
I was hoping they would go for him making the webshooters, but I know they probably did not, because in different cartoons of it and comics he would run out of web and have to think his way out of stuff
8:52 AM Mr. Blue
The idea that he'd make web shooters is silly, because if you can do that there are a lot better methods of moving
9:02 AM Mr. Silver
That was part of the reason they made it an altered-human ability instead of tech for the McGuire series
"Ah...so he got superpowers after being a chemistry supergenius...yeah...and he's in high school."
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
Shooting a web out of your hands is hardly spider-like
9:25 AM Mr. Blue
A real spiderman would just slowly make intricate webs and wait around all day for the bad guy to run into it and get stuck, and if he was spider-like it'd come out of his butt
Of course, superheroes are for kids and I accept that, but when they turn them into big budget movies for adults too, I’m going to call them on the inconsistencies.
(Mr. Blue has evidently NEVER read a modern comic book. - Mr. Silver)
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
If he was bitten by a wolf spider, for instance, then the abilities he got would make more sense
High speed and agility, vibration sense, surface climbing.
But they always show a web spinning spider.
9:30 AM Mr. Blue
He should have venom too since all spiders are venomous
9:30 AM Mr. Silver
Yes.
9:38 AM Mr. Brown
This is the basis for Spiderman
This was a Batman-like crime fighter
9:41 AM Mr. Blue
That sounds nothing like Spiderman
9:41 AM Mr. Brown
Right, but it gave Stan Lee the idea
But that Spider is more like the Green Hornet and such
9:42 AM Mr. Blue
It sounds like the only thing remotely similar is that he also has "spider" in his name
That wiki article doesn't even make any comparisons to Spiderman
9:43 AM Mr. Brown
If you read the one on Spiderman it says that Stan Lee read this one, and came up with Spiderman
9:48 AM Mr. Brown
9:49 AM Mr. Blue
I still see no similarities other than their names
9:50 AM Mr. Silver
I've read a “The Spider" novel. I enjoyed it.
9:50 AM Mr. Blue
The Spider sounds pretty badass
9:51 AM Mr. Silver
Nod...did disguises. Worked with climbing cords and such, but I don't recall much.
10:01 AM Mr. Blue
Hey Mr. Silver, ever read “The Report on the Barnhouse Effect”, a short by Vonnegut?
Mr. Brown, you should check it out too; it's kind of about super powers
10:06 AM Mr. Silver
Nope
10:07 AM Mr. Blue
It's good; much better than the synopsis makes it sound.
10:07 AM Mr. Silver
It appears to be the basis of a movie I saw ages ago.
10:10 AM Mr. Blue
His powers go from being able to roll snake eyes 7 times straight to being able to blow up destroyer ships on the other side of the globe
10:49 AM Mr. Blue
"Fantasy"
Don't judge me, but this song rocks
Though it was ripped from the Tom Tom Club "Genius of Love"
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
"What you gonna do when you get out of jail?
I'm gonna have some fun.
What do you consider fun?
Fun, natural fun." (Actual first set of lyrics -- Mr. Silver)
12:18 PM Mr. Silver
(Sings) " 'cause losing ev'rything, is like your son going down on me."
“Don't let your son, go down on me!”
12:28 PM Mr. Blue
And IIIIIIIII Will always Love youuuuuu--eewwww--ouhhhh
YOUUU-OUOU-OUOU-OHHHH
*air sax*
12:32 PM Mr. Blue
Katherine Hepburn was an atheist
12:35 PM Mr. Apple
Who's that?
12:35 PM Mr. Silver
Serious?
12:35 PM Mr. Apple
Seriously
12:35 PM Mr. Silver
Sadly most famous recently for her palsy
She was funny.
I'd rather have hung with this Hepburn though: http://www.google.com/search?pq=katharine+hepburn&hl=en&sugexp=emsp&cp=2&gs_id=a&xhr=t&q=audrey+hepburn&client=firefox-a&hs=kkb&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1070&bih=701&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
12:37 PM Mr. Blue
I never liked Katherine
Audrey I liked
12:37 PM Mr. Silver
Cutie...great accent
12:42 PM Mr. Apple
I must be too young to remember them
1:00 PM Mr. Blue
Pretty sure Audrey farted bubbles and butterflies
1:07 PM Mr. Silver
Probably
(in elevator) "You smell roses all of a sudden?"
"(blushing) Sorry, that was me. Shall I light a match?"
"Please don't."
1:09 PM Mr. Brown
1:11 PM Mr. Blue
The very idea of a British 1967 musical makes me wanna vomit
1:11 PM Mr. Brown
I like this one
I love the giant pink sea snail; it's awesome
Pushum-pullum is cool too
1:18 PM Mr. Silver
The miracle Oscar winner. Even nominated for Best.
It was a pushme-pullyou, wasn't it?
Been ages since I read a Doolittle book or saw that movie
1:21 PM Mr. Brown
PUSHMI-PULLYU
I found it
Basically that creature would not live past few hours old
lol
1:23 PM Mr. Blue
Is it the one with no rear end
1:24 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah
1:24 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
In real life the animal would be in agony
1:25 PM Mr. Brown
I like how nobody asks that question in the movie
1:26 PM Mr. Silver
They rode home in a giant snail and the doctor flew on a Giant Luna Moth
It's not a "questions" type movie
1:27 PM Mr. Brown
lol
The snail and the moth make more sense than the creature with no way to release waste
1:28 PM Mr. Blue
lol
Out of its "mouth"?
Lots of bugs have two front ends for camouflage or defense purposes
1:30 PM Mr. Silver
Yup...the one end is an illusion. Explains the bad breath.
1:39 PM Mr. Silver
The snail I'd consider as a possible living being. It's titanic but at least it's an oceanic beast and there could be anything down there...of course this means our heroes drowned in the first 5 minutes of the trip home.
2:49 PM Mr. Blue
I like putting chocolate chips in a peanut butter jar and just mixing it up
It ruins it for the next person trying to make a sandwich.. but I don't care
2:53 PM Mr. Silver
heh
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
Note to self - do not tell Mrs. Silver this recipe
