Actually, from what little I've heard of the new movie, there seems to be a fair amount inspired by Ultimate Spider-Man: the backstory of the parents; the way Peter deals with his dual identity issue; etc.  As someone who was never really that into the Raimi Spider-Man movies (2 was decent, but it was really the only one of the 3), I want to see this movie sometime in the next few weeks.  But as I dislike seeing movies in the theaters, I may just wait for the Blu-Ray.  Besides, I'll be lucky to drag my family out to see the Dark Knight Rises in a few weeks.

Everything Must Go:

This movie was really good. I watched it on Netflix, so check it out if you've got a subscription. The story and the character felt very genuine. Will Ferrell does a very good job here. I highly recommend it.

Going back to an earlier off-topic discussion, I just wanted to say that one of the reasons I always liked Siskel and Ebert & Roeper and at the Movies was because it always kept me up to date with movies that were out and soon to be released. Recently, I subscribed to a newspaper again and every Friday there is a movie reviews section so that has helped me get back in the loop.

I actually try to avoid commercials as much as I can these days so as not to spoil a movie I'm going to see or get tired of seeing the same scenes over and over.

For instance, I've haven't seen any of the trailers for The Dark Knight Rises yet. Nor have I seen any commercials. I either skip through real fast or change the channel. That said, I still know a few details of the film because often tidbits get revealed in headlines of articles or there are images of the film shown. Still aside from a few basic facts, I'm completely in the dark about most of this movie and I hope I can keep it that way a little bit longer although it's getting tougher since the movie is about 2 weeks away and they are really starting to roll out the advertising now.

Anyways, my thinking these days is, if I'm know I'm going to see a movie, I'm not going to obsess over it like I use to and kill myself in anticipation like I use to when I was younger. If I'm unsure about a movie, I may watch a trailer or some clips then to see if that sways my thinking but otherwise, I try to avoid spoiling things. It often seems that movies I've enjoyed the most recently are ones where I go in with no idea what it is about and it's always better to keep your expectations a bit lowered.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Not sure why I did this to myself. Curiosity maybe? For completion's sake? I watched the 1st 2. The best part about watching this movie was trolling my friend afterwards. I texted him saying that The Avengers copied the city battle from Dark of the Moon.

Most of this was incomprehensible, especially as part 3 of a (so far) trilogy. For example, if the whole plan was to use Earth to rebuild Cybertron, what was the point of Revenge of the Fallen which would have destroyed Earth by harvesting the Sun to create Energon? Was it just a back-up plan to the back-up plan? Like, the Decepticons would resurrect Sentinel Prime if resurrecting The Fallen failed? Also, Megatron doesn't do anything... again. He was just sitting there while the Autobots took down his whole army.

TrueNerd:
Those Transformers sequels, Revenge of the Fallen especially, are the most pain I've ever been in watching a movie. They are extremely self indulgent, plot-less, incomprehensible, and painfully unfunny movies with no characters with arcs or really anything redeeming about them. The fact that they made so much money and have any fans at all is absolutely mind boggling to me. I don't hate Michael Bay by any means, the guy is capable of doing big dumb blockbusters better than anyone else, but those sequels are STUPID and sadly justify a lot of what his detractors say about him.
