a stuffed bear, yes.. it has become the unofficial mascot of the forum. mr bear likes lounging on the couch, going on vacation, listening to hi-fi, and reading porn.. how can you not like this animal.

I think spiff would not mind if I quote his email to me:
'Catwoman was canceled for IMAX at the very last second by WB. (They're having a tough time getting just the 35mm version ready in time for release.) So we some how scored Spiderman 2. The catch being, we needed to get it finished in time to be released on 7/23, just as Catwoman was supposed to. It's been crazy busy... '

Yep...Spiderman 2 will be hitting IMAX screens on 7/23. My part of the work has just finished up. All I can say is go see it...the dailies I've seen looked amazing.
btw...thanks for thinking of me! I have been reading some of the threads over the past couple weeks - I just haven't had the time to post much.

Excellent news and welcome back! I saw Spidey2 already and was very happy with it. Not on a level of Empire Strikes Back, but definitely very much above average for a sequel.
Next up is irobot.
I would also recommend Napoleon Dynamite to everyone. It had me laughing from beginning to end. Of course having been a skinny dork in high school my have had some impact on that (as if I ever stopped being a skinny dork...)

Spidey 2 kicked Spidey 1's ass. I was happy to see that Raimi didn't rely on "more action" to make the sequel better, instead choosing to dial back the action and the comic book style flying through building stuff and dialing up the story/plot/emotion. Seeing Spidey flip through the air is cool, but it gets old. You can't watch that crap more than a few times before it becomes tedious. That's not to say that I don't love it - but it loses its flavor after a few chews.
ANyway - go see it on the big screen if you get a chance. Better yet, go see it at Imax - which is probably going to be just simply awesome.
Sidenote - the discrete audio coming from the surrounds in both movies was just plain cool. I loved being in teh theater and feeling voices and stuff fly over my head. Very enveloping, if not a little showy (which I like).

IMAX...that is good news. I didn't see it yet...might as well wait for the IMAX now That's if I can get my wife to go to that version instead....I don't think she likes IMAX for some reason.

If you sit too close, IMAX can make you dizzy.
The reason behind it is that if too much of your peripheral vision is filled with motion, your brain gets confused and thinks you're moving, too. I know that I have to sit far back enough that the edges of the screen are clearly visible, anchored to the sides of my vision, so to speak.
