Saw Spiderman 2 last night - it was a struggle at times, but I enjoyed the movie overall. The action sequences were fluid and well put together, the script jumped over some bad spots to have some solid decisions made. Mary Jane Watson, happily, does more in this film and makes the really tough decision that changes the world at the end; especially interesting because she's also pursuing a risky career in show business rather than something more "solid" and "practical." The first hour or so is a salute to kicking Peter Parker in the face (over and over and over) - if he's not having shitty things happen to him, somebody (MJ, Aunt May, Harry, Doctor Octavius) is giving him a lecture about something. Constantly. It got a bit old, but I did like that the emphasis was more on Peter than on Spider-Man.

And James Franco was hot. And Toby Maguire was hot. And Kirtsen Dunst was hot. There was a kinky scene with Spider-Man tied up with barbed wire, lying on a chaise-lounge unconscious, while James Franco stands over him in a silk suit, about to take his mask off. Way dirtier in my head than it was on the screen, but, well, you have to give me something.

The idea of moving keeps lingering. I've decided to make a list in the next little while of all the practical decisions, requirements, things to remember, things which need to be paid for, and things I'd need to get in the event of moving into a place by myself. Kitchenware on one end, and two months' rent (or rent plus damage deposit) on the other. Then I'll have a map of everything I need to worry about as I approach my deadline - which I need to set for myself. The great thing about my cell phone - this is a piece of my father's wisdom - is that it removes one item from the list, dealing with phone transfers.

Which reminds me. When I get home from work today there's going to be boxes everywhere, someone's else's stuff littered all over the house, and decorating decisions made downstairs that don't involve me. I'm just going to slink into my bedroom and clean it for a while.
