le weekend

As anonymous predicted, I AM going to talk about weddings and Spidey.
The wedding was beautiful, out in Harbor Town by the lake. And my boy looked pretty good, didn't he? Unfortunately, there was a mutiny among the flower girl/ring bearer population and things escalated to near violence. During the ceremony, mind you. But they were adorable. I have a little video, but of course the camera cable is missing. Cest la vie....
Then, just as I was chowing down at the reception, the MOG whisked us off to see Spiderman. Do you guys know about the Grand? It's only 7 bucks as opposed to Tinseltown's 8.50 and it's never as crowded. Anyhoo. (Don't worry, no spoilers)

See, here's the deal. I love me some Spidey. I was a Superman girl until the first Spiderman came out, and I loved it. And R2 is crazy about him. So that's the deal. I hate it when people say, oh, it was a great movie except this and this and this and this. But I'm kinda gonna say that.
In the first one, the Green Goblin was a little scary. The second one, Doc Oc was not scary AT ALL. To me, anyway. And I am a serious fraidy-cat. But in this one, there are two villains. A Sandman (as in, a man made of sand that can be as big as the whole city and such) and Venom, although they never identify Venom... Now, the Venom character, and what he becomes, are terrifying. I was covering my eyes near the end. So I wouldn't recommend it for chilluns.

But for adults or teens, there are some pretty cool object lessons about the power of bitterness, and forgiveness. And Tobey Maguire as Bad Spidey (a little bad) is SUCH a cutie. It's ok. I've discussed this with my husband and he agrees that they made him look cute. To women.

I don't remember any bad lanuguage, sexual innuendos, etc. Plenty of violence but no blood.
So there you go.

I slept about two hours last night. I am feeling like roadkill. So now I am waiting for Toby's batteries to run out so I can put him down for a nap.
