Yes, Fox execs are stupid. Yes they are tasteless. Yes, all they care about is saving money and shocking people with talentless personalities (kind of an oxymoron, huh?). This had to be one of the best shows put on television in a long time. It was part "Moonlighting", part "Threes Company", with funny dialogue, incredible photography direction, and with a bunch of likable (lovable) characters played with wit, charm and intelligence by its actors. But I'm not surprised it's gone. I'm just surprised lame Fox didn't pull it after just one episode. Should we give them credit for that? I miss Eddie and Pip.

I admit, when I heard everyone, and I mean everyone, raving about this movie, I was like, who cares, it's just based on a comic book. And the trailer looked so cliche. I was so wrong. It's interesting, funny, exciting. Tobie Maguire is perfect as the dork-with-a-heart-of-gold who becomes a superhero. James Franco and Kirsten Dunst are great as his supporting buddies, and Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris are wonderful as his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. The only one I had a problem with was the villain, the Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe. I like the actor ok, okay, I don't, but I wasn't happy with Mr Osbourne being so torn about being a bad guy. Just go with it! It would've been more interesting if he was bad to begin with, and then realized his full power when he became the Green Goblin. But I believe the standout and total scene-stealer in this movie has to be Mr. Jameson, played by J.K. Simmons. I've seen the actor in various "Law and Order" episodes and other shows, but this role has to be what he was born for. I got giddy everytime I saw him in a scene, and couldn't wait to hear what he had to say. Mr. Jameson rocked. To sum, I loved this movie. And I hate comic books.
