Saw Spider Man 2 last night. I feel the need to geek out for a minute. They totally introduced characters in this one that had me as excited as the kid next to us was about his light-up shoes.
IIRC, in the first movie, we saw a very... very... very small cameo by Eddie Brock (aka Venom). In Spider Man 2, we're slightly introduced to John Jameson (aka the guy that brings Venom to Earth) as well as John Conner (the Lizard) and the beginnings of Harry's decent into the land of the Green Goblin (which I really, really hope will get us somewhere close to the Hobgoblin and the Dopplegangers). I'll tell you something though, in the last scene of the movie, with MJ and Peter... I was litteraly squirming in my seat hoping she would call him Tiger. That's like... the biggest trademark of the Spiderman series, other than Spiderman's always devestating quick wit (which didn't seem to have the spark in this film that it should have).
I am really hoping they pull out the Venom/Carnage series. I know it's a little darker and bloodier than a movie 'for kids' should be, but come on, it's only the most popular set of Spiderman comics ever created (I actually have no foundation for that, but who's gonna argue?). I started reading Spiderman during the first Venom series and really picked it up during Maximum Carnage (the second appearance of Carnage). That was it for me, I was hooked. You really got to see what the life of Spiderman did to Peter Parker, and Carnage was by far the baddest bad guy ever created. I mean... his name is Carnage for crying-out-loud! Good stuff coming down the vine either way.
Second thing for today, Marianela Pereyra is a very pretty lady.

I think that over $260 mil. in 2 weeks proves that talking about Spiderman doesn't make you a geek, at least not in the U.S..
But knowing how all of the minor characters will end up playing out does. :)
