I went off the IMDB listing. Of course, IMDB data always needs to be taken with a grain of salt, especially before the movie's actually made...considering that the source can be just about anyone.

Anyone seen Spiderman 2? I did and I have to say...
IT ROCKED!

I hated the first one, don't know why but I absolutely loved this one! Doc Oct was great! Molina played it excelentely!

[nitafan211]

I have not seen it but, my friend said it was good. I will probably see it. Same as you, I did not really like the first one.

Spiderman, Spiderman, does what ever a spider can

Hee hee. I saw it, hee hee.... violin lady... hee hee... Now I'm gonna have that stuck in my head all day.......
But the movie did rock, I liked the first one but this one was better.

[crookedfrog21]

Another extemely catchy yet annoying song comes to mind...

Munamuhna...do DO do dodo...munamuhna...do DO DO do....hehehe I am evil...

[Agent M]

Where's that song from?
The violin song really does get stuck in your head though... *groans*

[Kathy Li]

Ma-nah-ma-nah is from the Muppets. They did it both on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, as well as in spots for Ed Sullivan and the like before either existed.

I think you can even download it as a ringtone if you want...

Speaking of songs in movies, I went to see De-lovely. Don't go; save your money. It's a mess. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to completely miss telling you who Cole Porter was. And they never quite pulled off their framing narrative device. Ugh-o. Unless you're a massive Kevin Kline fan, you may not get through this one.

[Agent M]

Oh... I think I know what that song is. My baby cousin watches Sesame Street. Sesame Street is the only good little kids show, Barney is a serial killer and teletubbies... *shudders*

[crookedfrog21]

And now they ahve boombas. Boombas! I mean, who comes up with the name Boombas? more to the point, who came up with the name Teletubbies? Tele, I get, but tubbies?

What is our world coming to I ask you, what??!!!

[Peter Murray]

I'm not sure, but I've heard that the Teletubbies are called that because they've got tellies (televisions) in their tubbies (tummies said in a toddler or Teletubby voice).

Anyone remember singer Toyah (Willcox)? She's one of the voice artistes on Teletubbies. Eric Sykes, a comedian and writer of some episodes of the Goons (a 50s radio comedy series) is another.

[Zgirl]

That makes so much sense PM! I never even thought about that! The guy who made that must've been British or something because that never occured to me.

[Agent M]

But the way the telletubbies talk make the little kids talk like that and that's BAD. They need to learn to talk right... *Grumbles*
Ooh!!! I wanna see the Village! It's by the same guy as Signs and The Sixth Sense. SCARY MOVIES MUHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!!!!!

[Birdhead]

Or tubbies because they're FAT. ie tubby.

*waves flag* I liked Spiderman 2 too. *grins* for lots of reasons.

but I should check- at the end of the movie I am slightly concerned that Doctor octopus broke Archimedes. I don't mind breaking nuclear physics because they're way complicated, but Archimedes... no. Lever and a place to stand, anyone?

I'm sorry. But it's so amusing to me, I have to post this link: http://www.hsx.com/

It's like a mock stock market, with movie stars and movies gaining or losing value as their movies do well or bomb at the box office. A very fun way to learn about the mechanics of markets. Now, do I buy or sell short King Arthur?
