[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] Oh, goody. A newbie's decided to attack me personally. Don't they ever learn? Obviously he's [i]much[/i] more intelligent than I am. You can tell this because he's put my name in "inverted commas." Genius! (by which of course I mean, stupid cunt!) I've never been a Spiderman fan, really. The 1980's Harry Hamlin show did a lot to cauterize any particular regard I had for the concept. But all the same, I was aware that given how long it had taken to finally make a film (I can even remember the circa-1990 rumours, of James Cameron and Michael Biehn etc.) and knew that given the amount of anticipation shown everywhere, this was a film that Had To Be Seen. So I did, expecting to see something special. So, this obviously illustrates my bias because by GriffTwat's lights I should have gone to see it knowing I was going to see The Greatest Film Of All Time, and more importantly coming out afterwards firmly believing I had just seen the Greatest Film Of All Time. [QUOTE]No, my problem is with the aforementioned seeing lack of open-mindedness and apparent need of belitting a movie that some others might have liked in such a fashion. It's obviously a need on the individual's part to make others feel stupid for liking [i]Spider-man[/i], as well as forestall anyone arguing with him on anything to do with the movie because it was such "shit".[/QUOTE]Or in other words, "MOMMMMMMYYYYYY!!! He's being horrible about Spider-Man! Make him stop!" I'm sorry, did I say anywhere that anyone who liked Spider-Man was stupid? I don't think it was a very good film. Its flaws seem quite apparent to me and I'm mystifed why it continue to hold such high regard in people's minds. All I ever meant to say was, maybe given the high level of anticipation that builds before seeing such films, maybe some people aren't being particularly objective about them. Hence, my question about why plot holes in Nemesis (most of which would be unknown to a non-Trekkie viewer, which I'm not but can experience, say, through my own wife who is a non-Trekkie) are enough to totally condemn the film while any plot holes in X-Men 2 (and I'm not an X-Men fan particularly, and know little of the mythology) aren't anywhere near as important.
