    I feel like you'd watch the three stooges and when someone gets poked in the eye you'd be the one to laugh and go "WOW i didn't see that coming!"

    It's the same with those two movies - it's predictable.

    2) I haven't been out that way in a couple days, but I was told it opened yesterday.
    3) for the price, the Cooker sucked. I'm actually glad we got a little more diversity in food.
    4) Norwalk sucks period, IMO. And you will still address Perkins township as Sandusky damnit! lol

    I haven't been to Sandusky much since moving to Hershey, but is steak and shake still there? I try and go there evertime I'm back in Fremont.

    That BB, TDK, TDKR back-to-back-to-back sounds awesome. If they dont do that in Toledo, I very well be making a trip east...

    I'd like to see it at midnight on the 19th...but it ends two hours before i'd wake up for work the next day so that might not be an option ha

    A few of us are thinking about doing it.

    I just checked and there's a theatre doing it in Cincinnati. Sounds awesome and I'm debating about doing it there or maybe doing the first 2 at my house beforehand (have blu ray and surround sound) then heading down. It's $25 regular and $40 for imax, so may just do imax for DKR and watch them at my house. Sounds badass though and ill probably end up doing it there.

    Looks like a remake of American Psycho is in the works; kind of makes me sick considering it's my favorite movie. No longer taking place in the 80's, and Bale is going to be tough to replace as Bateman. Ellis did an amazing job on the book and he is on this so I guess it has some potential but just doesn't seem right.

    Remaking a movie that came out in what 99 or 2000 especially when there is no reason to remake it is just dumb.

    lol, everybody I'm going with works early the next morning. I have to be up by 4 am that Friday. We're all just saying fuck it and pulling all nighters. Possibly taking power naps during Batman Begins.

    Just got back from Spider-Man. I thought it was good outside of the aforementioned cheesy scenes with Peter and how human Lizard's face looked.

    Oh and Five Guys is pretty solid. A little pricey but pretty good food.

    Saw Ted a little earlier. Thought it was hilarious.

    I've went to see it twice now. My girl ended up wanting to see it so I took her.

    She liked it better than the Tobey versions.

    The cheesy scene with the basketball is my only real complaint. It would have been fine had it not been for that ridiculous looking dunk lol. They should have left that out.

    I can live with Lizards face. I know it can be difficult to get some of those down to perfection. I hate two face's face in TDK as well, but whatever.

    Both times I've went the audience clapped at the end. It's getting great audience feedback, and good critic reviews. The critics who are giving it bad reviews are all citing how the Tobey Spidey only came out a decade ago. I get that, but I don't think you can fault this movie for that. Spider-Man 3 was an atrocity and Raimis Spidey didn't really follow the comic or cartoon. While there are obviously similarities in terms of certain outcomes, The Amazing Spider-Man is going to have a different story arch. I just don't think, as a reviewer, that you can deduct points from a movie because it was a reboot. Review the movie as an individual movie and leave everything else out of it.

    This reboot is a bit darker/grittier as well.

    Still need to check out Savages and Ted.

    I liked Spiderman a lot!

    However, I couldnt get over the fact that the bad guy was Nigel The Leg Gruff from The Replacements

    As soon as I saw him I said "He's wirey? What the shit is that", which got a few laughs from the people in front of me.

    Personally, I think it's either...

    [SP]Norman Osborn, Mysterio, or the Scorpion. [/SP]

    I don't think anyone knows...

    [SP]I was thinking Mysterio with the way he appeared and disappeared, but he started off as a petty criminal and I doubt he'd know anything about Peter's parents. A couple of other sites think it could be Electro due to the thunder and lightning that was symbolic with his appearance/voice Electro would fit in here because he was always in it for money, so he could potentially be on Osborn's payroll. Then, of course, you have Norman Osborne himself. After all, he's the one who was responsible for Gwen Stacy dying, which is symbolic in the Amazing Spider-Man ​universe... Would kinda make sense after Peter went back on his promise to leave Gwen alone.[/SP]

    I liked the new Spiderman. I went in skeptical because this reboot is so close to the last series, but I think Garfield is a better Spiderman than McGuire.

    Really got pumped seeing the Dark Knight Rises trailer.
