| -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- May 31, 2007 - It's a Competition After reading "The First 90 Days of Marriage" (in my first ninety days of marriage), I've just now realized that I haven't been the competitor that I should be. Eric Ludy challenges husbands to a duel of sorts, and I want to be up to the challenge. He challenges all spouses, particularly husbands, to be superherospouses. He makes the point that to be a superhero spouse, you must be willing to make personal sacrifices. There's a reason they are called sacrifices and I'm slowly learning this. Time is a huge issue for me. It's not all my time. I need to be there for my wife, and not only when she asks to spend time with me. I'm learning.

There are good parts in the movie, but they are spaced too far apart. Several times I almost forgot what I was watching. There's about ten percent Spider-Man, about fifty percent of the love triangle between Peter Parker, Mary Jane, and Harry Osborn, and the rest was a forgetful Tobey Maguire. Apparently he kept losing his mask. Maybe he wanted more face time on screen to show his Throughout the movie, I kept asking myself how they messed this movie up. All the actors are the same and the director of the first two, Sam Raimi, returned as his role of director. It felt like this whole franchise did a whole Joel Schumacher thing on us, but it didn't because it's the same guy directing. What I did learn, on the other hand, is that as well as returning to direct, Sam Raimi picked up the role of writer. In the first two, the screenplays were done by completely different people and Stan Lee had a lot more to do with them. Here's a tip Raimi, stick with the director's chair, but please, for the sake of everyone, drop the pen. Just an added note Spider-Spud is more entertaining than the movie, much more.
