I've had this nagging headache for about a week now. Yes, a week. Think it's the pressure building up. Furniture, I need furniture. Gak. Hopefully, a double bed with storage will walk into my life and settle itself down in my tiny bedroom. Hope is the new food of love.
Gak.

Spider Man 3 Review
From a troubled superhero in the first and second chapter of the movie series, Spidey becomes a popular and loved figure in part 3. The movie starts off well enough with all being nice and rosy for Peter what with him weaving webs under the night sky and laying there blissfully with his sweetheart Mary Jane. But the fan is soon to get shit-hit when an asteroid bearing black, evil gooey stuff transforms our oh-so-loveable hero into a powerful, and power seeking maniac.
The third part should have been more action packed, considering there were two villains and Spidey's personal turmoil with the black, gooey stuff, and it is. But, somehow the whole movie seemed to go for the commercial angle, and absolutely cheesy humour. I mean sure, I'm a cynic, and you can't trust everything I say, but there were times you thought the story line meandered, the dialogue was a little pointless and that if they didn't have the cool Spidey swinging-around-in-the-city special effects, you'd have probably gotten up and left. There are shots that just smack obscenely obviously of the cheesiness, esp the imagery of the American flag in the background (although it was just a one or two second thing), and the last scene reminiscent of so many Bollywood movies, with the "dost" screaming "Nahhhhhiiiinnn" and jumping in the way of a speeding bullet, or in this case and speeding something-else.
All in all, the action scenes were excellent, the story was more tediously involving, but the movie could have been a little faster; the end being especially dragging (I'd gotten so used to ending a Spiedy movie with a swinging Spiderman, I guess it was an anti-climax for me.) I think people coming for Spiderman don't expect such sappy stuff, but hey, who am I to comment what with the record box office opening. 6 on 10 for Spidey 3.

t - 19
Woke up with a horrendous hangover from Bachelor Party # 1. There was booze and food and a smoky room with very intoxicated attendees making a din - the perfect ingredients for a bachelor's party. I suppose now it's confirmed, I am getting married. Had various random dreams posted in various random blogs.
A new life beckons! Heck, it's still 19 days away. It's 3 pm now, time to wake up.
