Spidey's coming…

by Suw on December 19, 2003

The Spider-Man 2 trailer is out now, via Yahoo or Sony/Apple – and my, doesn't Doc Ock look kinda cool? I just can't believe that they've started teasing us more than six months before the film actually comes out on 2 July 04. Six months!

What am I supposed to do for six months? Watch Spider-Man continuously until I know it by heart? Oh, wait, no, already done that…

Oh well, I'll just have to download the full-screen version of the trailer to keep me happy in the meantime. Even if it is 34meg over my pathetic 33k dial-up connection. Ouch. Might take a while.

The little cock-teasers. I'm looking forward to Spiderman 2: Sam Raimi, the director, obviously had to restrain himself a little on the first one to prove to the studio that he could be trusted with a big franchise. Hopefully this time around he will let rip a bit more with his quite barmy style (this is the man who made the Evil Dead trilogy, after all!).

Oh yeah, hopefully they'll let him have his way a bit more, let him make it a bit darker. And hopefully the CGI will be better. I think that was my only gripe about Spidey 1, that the CGI was in places a bit clunky. And I don't mean that Spidey didn't move gracefully to start with because he wasn't meant to, but just some of the jumps and such were so obviously CGI, which was a pity.

That said, some of it looked damn real to me. When he's climbing up the wall for the first time, that looked pretty good to me! LOL.

Anyway, yes, big full-screen trailer still downloading. Three hours left to go!

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 1:36 pm

And I loved Spidey's rather naff, cobbled together first attempt at a costume in the first film: very funny.

And I can't believe that there are still people using 33k modems…

Suw December 19, 2003 at 1:47 pm

Oh yeah, that was spiffy! Loved that – my friend Svet's son had one just like it, long before the film came out.

My modem is, I'll have you know, 52k jobbie, but the phone lines are so crap here that it barely gets up above 33k. Yuch.

Oh, how i miss broadband… *sigh*

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 1:55 pm

Damn. If I'd known you have such a slow connection I would not have compressed that .mp3 of mine I sent to you.

Yes, broadband is great, isn't it? But whenever I am at home downloading trailers in five minutes, I'll stop and feel a pang of guilt thinking of you.

No, really: I will.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 2:12 pm

Steve, your concern for my wellbeing… it's touching.

Now bugger off with your fancy-shmancy broadband connection and never darken my modem again. *blows raspberry*

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 2:18 pm

God, you are just so sexy when you get angry…

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 2:30 pm

I watched the full screen thing and it looked like a decent enough movie.

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 2:36 pm

And by the way: http://www.hilton.co.uk
Get a room.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 2:36 pm

Steve – Pffft! Don't try to sweet talk me, matey.

Bram – well, guess we'll have to wait and see.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 2:37 pm

Oh, and by the way, you paying? :-p

Which reminds me, i shall do your flight right now.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 2:42 pm

Oh, I see: Bram gets a hint of potential carnal gratification but I get the brush off… Fine. You don't know what you are missing.

grumps off…

Suw December 19, 2003 at 2:46 pm

*guffaws loudly*

Eh, Brammetje, did you know anything about this carnal gratification thing? I mean, if that's the case I'd better sort your flights out right away…

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 2:52 pm

Carnal: Relating to the physical and especially sexual appetites: carnal desire
Gratification: The condition of being gratified

I am a guy, I think about sex every three seconds. You think I'm going to London to see jerry goldsmith? Come on, he's a guy!

Move over Steve, you might have much better credentials, but you're not match for me:
Young, bald Dutch guys with little expertise after all – rule.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 3:05 pm

Forget it, dude: you may be bald but I am short, chubby and wear glasses.

Please ladies, form an orderly queue…

Suw December 19, 2003 at 3:13 pm

Ha ha! Yes! Men squabbling over me on my own blog! Pity you're not Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, but hey, it's the thought that counts.

Sadly for both of you, though, my heart belongs to another. Whether he bloody likes it or not.

Although I suppose… I could y'know, make an exception for a day for the right, er, people and *ahem* circumstances… What you up to in Feb, Steve?

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 3:20 pm

See that stain on my shirt, Suw? It's red isn't it? See? That's blood. That where the bloody arrow ripped my heart to shreds. Now I am fairly prepared for this and always have some liquor handy, but no thanks to you.

Buggers off wondering where that Guardian whore holds her practice

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 3:25 pm

“Pity you're not Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom”

Oh, well, gee… sorry. Guess plain old, blondie fat-arsed Steve ain't good enough for Suw…

I'll clear my diary for February 😉

Suw December 19, 2003 at 3:27 pm

Bram schatje! *veel knuffeltjes* Will you ever forgive me? You know I never meant to rip your soft and squidgy heart into tiny little bits and cast them to the four winds, things just kinda worked out that way. It's not may fault. Will you ever talk to me again?

*sobs*

(Oh, and Kings Cross would be a sensible place to start looking, I should think. Steve's probably got her phone number already though, so ask him.)

Suw December 19, 2003 at 3:34 pm

Er, well, if you're going to put it like that, Steve, what can I say?

Except pencil me in, and I'll confirm later.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 3:36 pm

I knew you would come round. You know it makes sense.

😉

Suw December 19, 2003 at 3:39 pm

Aw, poor Stevie-weevie. You know I love you really. Honest.

*cough*

Um… yeah, so poor wee thing, nothing's meant by it.

Oh bugger it, you men are all just too much bloody hard work.

I'm going to become a lesbian instead. Any of you girls out there fancy a shag?

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 3:45 pm

Now where did I leave these fake carnaval tits? And I'm already very good talking continuous streams of bullshit, so that's good… But where to hide the utensils? Do you mind if I don't spread my legs and turn my back to you when we're busy?

Bram Janssen December 19, 2003 at 3:49 pm

And all this talk was roused by the name “Dr Octupus”?

Suw December 19, 2003 at 3:56 pm

No, I think all this talk was because you two aren't getting enough sex.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 3:59 pm

Suw may not be getting enough sex but I doubt that she will ever be desperate enough to accept it from me.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 4:00 pm

You've got to stop with the self-depreciation Steve. There's nothing wrong with being a mousy little runt.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 4:01 pm

Oops, wrong thread, but strangely it's suddenly actually relevant.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 4:30 pm

There's nothing wrong with being a mousy little runt.

There is if you are hoping to pull…

S'cuse my cynicism.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 4:49 pm

You're trying to pull the wrong way. You should be using your scintillating wit, intelligence and charm instead. And if you dare say you don't have any, I'll slap you.

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 5:04 pm

But I only have scintillating wit, intelligence and charm when at the keyboard; not so hot at demonstrating those qualities in person. In the flesh my scintillating wit collapses into lame jokes, the intelligence becomes inarticulate ramblings and the charm turns to utter dorkiness.

Plus, I don't go out to places where I might actually meet women.

Suw December 19, 2003 at 5:06 pm

Ah, yes, not going out. I suspect that may be part of the problem. 😉

Steve Kane December 19, 2003 at 5:19 pm

Yes, being socially awkward and reclusive by nature is not exactly conducive to forming an active social life.

Oh, and just to correct you, I am not trying to pull the wrong way: I am not trying to pull at all.
