I have to agree with goon, he makes a very reasonable argument…

john first of all i really enjoy the podcast but common your reviews arent always right. Now you said that death proof was really boring and was just girls talking. well look at resovoir dogs. it had guys talking and it was a great movie. It was just because it was girls talking and you couldn’t relate as much with them. Maybe you just didn’t like the movie because you had just seen planet terror and it was a fun non stop action movie. You were expecting to see something full of action or something. Also look at some of the old horror movies like friday the 13th and halloween, they all started slow but were great movies. And also quentin tarantino was trying to play homage to those classic badly made movies as rodriguez was just trying to make his own bad movie.

Wow. Count me in the flabbergasted club. Now I’ve not seen Spidey3, Bratz or Daddy Daycamp, but I cannot believe that a Sam Raimi film would be worse than the latter two obvious cash-in hack jobs.

Seriously, I can see where Goon is coming from though John, you can be a tad reactionary sometimes. I know you opinion is your own and all that, but certain things do perplex sometimes….

No Goon, I hear you, and I understand what you’re saying… but you’re wrong. Just that simple. You’re wrong… period. I slated Spider-Man 3 as WORST film of the year, because that’s what I think it was. Any other theory you have in your head about why I put it there is 100% incorrect… because I’m the only one who knows… and I’m telling you.

But once again, you reveal that it all comes down to what you agree with. You said:

“but ‘worst’ with all that should entail, on a list including Bratz, I just don’t buy it”

That sums is all up. You don’t buy it… therefore, for me to says it is indeed the worst of the summer, there must be something up. If you did agree… then there wouldn’t be a problem.

Spider-Man 3 is the worst film of the summer bar none. It was worse than Bratz, it was worse than Daddy Day Camp. All that is true weather you “buy it” or not. You have a different opinion, and that’s cool… but I won’t accuse you of just lying about your opinion just to start a fight in here.

well John, I just don’t think you’re going to get what I’m saying. If your list was ‘most hated of the summer’ i wouldnt have batted an eye. But ‘worst’ with all that should entail, on a list including Bratz, I just don’t buy it, and based on other things you’ve said over the years leads me to accusations that you’re trying to provoke, just as I’d accuse a controversial writer. As for ‘acceptance’ – If I said say, Cuba Gooding only did Daddy Day Camp because thats all he can get, a response from him of “you just cant accept that someone would do Daddy Day Camp for reasons other than a paycheck”, well that doesnt fly with me. No, it just means I’ve seen evidence that leads me to believe that he took that gig for other reasons. But I don’t think any of what I’m saying is reaching you, and I’m repeating myself, so I’m done. Done.

“Here’s a thought, why not make a Spiderman villain an actual villain, not someone with life issues that get them down.”

Just some nasty person who wants to kill/maim superheroes, scare people, pillage and rape ?
Hmm….

I havent heard a decent explanation yet as to why Spider-man 3 was a good film on any number of boards.

SM3 was one of my most anticipated films of the summer and I WANTED to love it, but I just couldnt.

Now I wont call it the worst film of the year, because if it wasnt a sequel and didnt have so much hype, it wouldnt have gotten as much flack.

I will say it was a poorly executed film that tried to do way too much and failed. But it still had some decent moments.

MJ needs to be killed off or sent away on Sabbatical, like the Soap Operas do when one of the characters cause homicidal thoughts in the intended audience.

Spiderman should be bad ass, not an emo tool with a whiny, useless girlfriend.

Here’s a thought, why not make a Spiderman villain an actual villain, not someone with life issues that get them down.

Spiderman 3 sucked.

Yes Krintina! That’s exactly my point… you just said it better than I did.

Goon can’t accept my opinion is different than his. He thinks I must obviously be dishonest, because Spider-Man 3 wasn’t worse than Bratz or Daddy Day Camp in his view… therefore if I say it was worse, then I must be lying.

Yes, you put it perfectly. Goon thinks that I only said it was the worst film because I hated it… when the fact is I hated it so much because it was the worst film of the summer. Well said.

Spider-Man 3 was the worst motion picture of the summer. Goon, you say that’s hyperbole… but there has to be a worst of the summer… and Spider-Man 3 is it. Period. I respect that you don’t agree, and your opinion is just as valid as mine…. except I’m not going to dismiss your opinion beacuse of some made up excuse, like you just refuse to see how bad Spider-Man 3 was due to blind Raimi worship, or anything else for that matter.

You don’t see what is clearly obvious to me. Spider-Man 3 is the worst film of the summer. But I don’t need to tell you you’re just being difficult for not acknowledging it, or that there is some hidden reason for you failing to admit it. You just saw it differently, and I accept that.
