I don't know why, but knowing you're the same age as me has made me feel uglier :C
Also this. Fuck.

So Harry just saw the Green Goblin throw a fucking grenade at him and his sweet heart, and trying to kill a bunch of innocents, then he gets all weepy when his father dies at the end? And he blames Spiderman?
Your father just tried to murder you!
Also, that CG was fucking terrible, lol. Much better in 2.

Bahaha, this thread cracked me up. Thank you Sir Mandrake.
I've seen the first Spider-Man film close to fifty times. The only time I am ever cognizant of Macy Gray's existence is during her cameo.
It's so freaking goofy, especially those absurd "NUTTY NUTMEG FANTASY!" lyrics, that I can't help but love it. I've gotten more joy out of her inclusion in the film than I would have if she wasn't in it.
I guess if I want to extrapolate that down to it's logical conclusion, my life is infinitesimally better because Macy Gray has been born. And I guarantee that's the biggest compliment she's received on the Internet in the past four years.

Randy Savage being in the movie was too awesome for me to care about Macy Gray.

As a reminder to people-this movie did not age well AT ALL. It's now cheesy as fuck.

I like to think I would have noticed how cheesy it was even in 2002 if only I had been older. I don't even like Spiderman 2 much these days.
I just nostalgia'd, and yes Cibo Matto.

I didn't know who Macy Gray was back then.
I still don't know who she is now.

This was honestly the only flaw in an otherwise perfect movie. It reeks of some sleezy business dudes wanting to put her in as some kind of business synergy strategy

She kind of reminds me of Isla Fisher.
Try explaining why Bruce Campbell is in all three movies in different roles.
that's his pal I guess.
Which makes me wonder why he didn't put anyone else from Hercules or Xena into the spider-man movies.

His brother works at the Daily Bugle.
Wait, which one of you runs an airline at 26? Dead man or Lionel?
It's pretty obvious Harry is going through a mental breakdown. Not only is he having trouble accepting the truth, his mind is flat out creating its own version of the truth.
His breakdown is very pronounced in the comics and it even comes across to some degree in the movies.
Actually Xena herself was in the movie;https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/...q0sB-X2Q6wiHL7MqE_MJqq4WJGniGwNggckUzDqOF1PvV
I didn't recognize her with her clothes on.

It always was, its a sam raimi film. Are there people that took the films any more seriously than the goofy fun they are?
Holy crap didn't know this.
Jockster the Mighty(Sam Raimi's brother) works at the Daily Bugle
Yeah I did notice that one though

Right there with you, breh.
I actually rewatched it like a month ago and it was even better than I remembered!
But "cheesy as fuck" is how I like my superhero movies so that's probably the reason there. Spider-Man 2 remains the tops (and I remember liking Spider-Man 3 when I was like 15 but I dread returning to it.)

In the Loop has Cannibal Corpse too, iirc. Which is even more jarring.
American Pie had blink-182. Although it wasn't really shoved down your face, they just played some garage band.

This shit happens all the time, moreso with TV shows. The season 1 finale of Smallville was the worst.
"HOLY SHIT ITS REMI ZERO, YOU KNOW, THE BAND NOBODY KNOWS THAT DOES THE OPENING SONG TO OUR SHOW WHICH THEY'RE GOING TO PERFORM LIVE AT OUR PROM! WOOOOOOOOO!"

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Britney Spears in Jett Jackson for some reason.
This stuff is becoming increasingly more fascinating. It's such a perfect way to date your show/movie/whatever.
Most Superhero movies are.
If not for X-men and Spiderman revitalizing the genre, there wouldn't be the current crop. No Batman, no Avengers, no Kick-Ass, etc.
Can we agree that Matt Damon is the best use of putting a singer/band in your movie?

Yes we can agree. I don't even need to click that link, because unlike Scotty, I do know.

Racist.
It's just another in a long list of reasons why the first Spider-man isn't actually that good a film at all. It's a Sci-Fi original TV movie with a budget. The script is bad, the acting hammy, the cinematography dull, and the lighting flat. It's worse than Spider-man 3 is many ways.
The contrast between this and its sequel, which astoundingly turned out to be one of the first superhero flicks to transcend its genre in quality, is shockingly harsh.

Kick-Ass 2 is one of the worst offenders I have ever seen.
The Union J scene in the bedroom was just beyond. Why o why they ever let that happen.

The panicked crowd, the confused hero were not enough. We had to know: "What does Macy Gray think about a flying man in a Halloween costume?"
Somebody get a hold of that bitch so I can put sense to all that...
Where is Macy?
Help me Macy Gray!
