First full day in Seattle. And the most amazing thing happened. No, really. If you knew me this would surprise you. Out of nowhere, I got up before 8:00 AM! Without purpose and with only one wake up call. Shocking.

I didn't shower and get dressed until 2:00 though. After Kay and Greg left around 9 I checked out the sci-fi channel and they were playing a TON of Farscape episodes that I haven't gotten to DVD-wise yet. So I just had to watch some. Mom too. I got to see the last three eps of season 3 and the first of season 4, which means I got to see "Dog with Two Bones" and the "Do you love Aeryn Sun?" scene that takes place. I was so thrilled, except that the scene is just saaaad.

Anyhoo. Enough of that.

At 4, Mom and I went and saw Spider-man 2 and I loved it even more. I just have to say that I really enjoy the way Alfred Molina's character was used and the depth he was given. And Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have such terrific screen chemistry. This movie just kicks ass. I keep thinking of the final shot though, and the same thing popped into my head this time as the first time. I don't think it's spoilery, so here it is: Remember that this was your choice.

Afterward Mom and I went to the mall and though Suncoast did not have the Farscape I wanted, they did have the third season of Coupling which has bloopers! and tons of Jack commentary! Yea. I also reserved the boxed set of Farscape season 3 because that saves me, oh, $50/$60. Yea again.

Must go watch Dave. David Sedaris is gonna be on. Whee!

Happy 4th to all in case I forget!

Ah well. It takes all sorts. But, yeah. Alfred Molina is just so cool and so great. Love him. You know, I thought the exact same thing about Tobey Maguire when he was running! "Gee, that's.....not flattering." People just shouldn't be shot like that, like, ever.

See, I didn't think there were too many gratuitous body-part shots. But that's just me. I also don't mind Kirsten Dunst. There have been a couple of things I haven't really liked her in, but mostly I think she's talented. I think, personally, the reason I like the movie so much is because I'm attracted to stories where people, not super heroes, fight because they have to. Not because they want to and not because they like doing good things, like Superman, but because there's something that they feel they owe. Or something. Not explaining myself very well.

Who's Ted Raimi? I loved the usher part! I think that and the bit with Hal Sparks (who I think is hilarious) in the elevator were my two favorite little "cameo" scenes.

Ted Raimi was the reporter in the news office that initially said Otto should be called Doctor Octopus - he had the same character in the first one too. He was Joxor in Xena as well. He's my idol.

Kirsten Dunst isn't bad - I just didn't like her in this movie as much as others. I love Bring It On (it's one of those pleasures in life I shouldn't have) but everytime I see a movie of hers and she smiles, all I see are those two teeth of hers that protrude a little further out and I think of Interview With the Vampire and then I expect her to start sucking blood or something.... I'm waiting for her new one with Paul Bettany to come out though... Yay Stephen!!

Ted Raimi! OK, I know who he is now. I was glad to see him back. I didn't know he was in Xena, but now that you mention it, it all fits. I thought I recognized him from somewhere.

I get what you're saying. Her teeth are scary! My mom and I actually discussed them after the movie. Mom actually made a comment about Interview. (I still need to see it.) Bring It On is more fun to watch and is better than it has any right to be. Guilty pleasure are the best. She's in a movie with Paul Bettany? I think I knew that. That should be interesting.

Yeah, Bring It On is a movie I really only like cause of Jesse Bradford. The movie isn't that bad, but he adds sooooooo much to it. And yeah, Dunst and Bettany are in Wimbledon together.

Gotta love the people that just add to the show. Myself, I like playing "Spot the Buffy extra". It's not quite as fun as "Spot the Billy", but I'll take what I can get.

I like Bettany a lot, hopefully the movie will be decent. V. appropriate icon I might add. :)
