Finally… I’ll be able to finish the fight.
Don’t expect to see me from that date until sometime in November.
Just sayin’.

I hate people. No, really, I hate people. I hate crowded movie theaters which is why I usually go to late shows on school nights, and generally a week or two after a movie has opened. This is how I avoid the annoyances of movie theaters. I do have one problem though… DJ. Going to the movies has become “our thing” primarily because during the winter there really wasn’t much that we could do other than sit and watch TV or play board games. Since I get him every other weekend, I prefer to do things with him than sitting around. So during the winter, our thing was the movies. Since the theater opened up across the street from the house, it was made really easy. Of course, he also now knows exactly when a movie is in theaters by the commercials.
So from the moment he walked through the door he was asking about Spider-Man 3. I actually had a Haz-Mat drill yesterday, so my parents had brought him home after Blinky‘s communion that I missed. They had tried to pacify his “need” to see it by taking him to the carousel and fish pond at the park. Unfortunately… that only pacified him for so long.
I really had hoped to avoid it… but things just didn’t work out that way because he still “needed” to see it.. I was able to get tickets online… and so we trudged over to the theater for a later showing than we normally go to because the earlier showings were indeed sold out. Amazingly, when we got there we walked right in because apparently our show was already seating 45 minutes before show time. There was NO line at concessions… and I kinda had a smile on my face. The throngs of people outside waiting for the later shows really should have clued me in.
The theater was packed. We ended up sitting down in the front, fourth row back from the front row. The last movie I sat so close for was the premiere of Jurassic Park… and in that movie my soda cup literally went 20 feet vertical before landing on my friend KC‘s head. Needless to say… its been awhile. The theater was filled with people… and not just comic book fanboys either. There were a lot of everyday people there. to see the show. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing… but I’ve always felt closest in a fan boy audience especially at a premiere. The crowds have been packing it in all weekend. Know how I know? Behind our seat was quite literally a layer of popcorn about two inches high. Because they are trying to pack in so many shows, they aren’t able to clean the theaters like they normally would inbetween. Ontop of that… well each one had been sold out. In fact, Friday and Saturday have been sold out since Thursday here in the city. Sunday’s shows were being sold out around 5 hours in advance… so the throngs of people were still going although a little bit slower.
So with all that said, below the fold is the rest of the post including spoilers… so be forwarned.
because it does find closure in the majority of the story arcs it starts as well as the one outstanding story arc from the previous 2 movies.
because it takes SO much and delivers SO little. For those of you who don’t know… there is an agreement between Marvel and any movie made with their brand. Stan Lee must have a cameo. Normally he plays a bus driver, or a bank security guard, or some doofus. This one… his cameo was quick but powerful… when he says, “I guess one man can make a difference, and I’ll leave it at that.” So for that moment alone… it’s a categories: Creative Bones Motion Pictures News WTF?
