Those are some pretty good points Capt.
Though I admit to personal bias. I've been a fan of Sam's since I saw evil dead for the first time as a teenager. That is the movie that hooked me on horror and cheesy b-flicks.

Sam sure has come a long way since then, huh? From improvisation on the set - and a story looser than, well Richard Gere and a 10-12 inch gerbil, to a $200 million budget. I'm just glad that they picked someone with enough knowledge about the comics to incorporate the action, the lore and the true conflict of the character found therein. Couple that with his patience in waiting to spring characters on us - by slowly introuducing us to the characters who will become important later int he series - fanboys get their kicks and roun dout the series on repeat viweing later, and make for a more cohesive story...(think X-Men too...)

Can't wait to see the next installments of each.

jack - "...mad at us like Bren and Ray". Wow - nothing could be further from the truth. Simple problem with work getting in the way and some business travel thrown into the mix. Sweeten with some good golf weather and I am drinking from the tart cup of "I wish I had more time available". On the other hand, I AM wasting quite a bit of time sleeping at night. Another problem is the prolific posting that is becoming the norm here. It is really hard to keep up if you miss a day or two. I am a happy guy when I can check myself into the asylum here and spread innocuous and useless bits of input and advice from time to time.

Thanks...I mentioned it to her last night and that's what she said happened to her. She got dizzy. I'll have to tell her about that and make sure we sit towards the back if I can get her to go.

I just want to go for the better sound...I don't care about the screen part as much.

did any of ya'll who have seen spider-man 2 notice that the guy who was watching the door at the theater, and wouldnt let peter parker in to see mary-jane, was the same guy from the picture above and the same guy from the evil dead series?? he was older, and a little fatter, but it was the same guy..

just curious if any one else caught that.. ALSO, who saw the stan lee cameo?? when spider man was on the side of the building trying to save his granny from doc-ock, there was some debris that fell down to the street.. there was a quick scene when this old man grabbed this young girl, and pulled her out of the way from the falling debris.. that was stan lee!! if you goi see it again, or for the first time, look for it!!

Stan Lee made a cameo in the first movie too. He's also been in the Hulk and one other movie of his. It's kind of neat to see him in his movies.

His name is Bruce Cambell. He was also the wrestlign ring announcer in Spidey 1. He and Raimi kind of got their start together.
