Spider-Man 2 Opens Today

It's funny, Spider-Man 2 is opening today and while it's gotten a very healthy marketing push, Gothamist hasn't really been paying attention, because of the Fahrenheit 9/11 brouhaha, as well as other bigger world matters. Or maybe it's because it's so ubiquitous, we're not that concerned with Peter Parker's doings (we know that Sony is working on the third movie, so clearly Spider-Man doesn't die). Gothamist will go out and see it, though, since it's about a young New Yorker, attending Columbia, trying to make it in this tough city, wearing tight clothes. And there's J.K. Simmions and Bill Nunn.

Are you seeing Spider-Man 2 today or this week? Rotten Tomatoes says Spider-Man 2 is fresh fresh fresh! And Gothamist's favorite Spider-Man 2 license: The Crest spin brush - it's so crazy looking.

If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up somewhere else.

He looks like he is frightened of the plaque. I'm sure he has some amusing quip to get the plaque to take its proper place, down the drain.

Woo-hoo! You just moved up in my cool book for digging Radio Raheem!

Spider-man rocks! The first movie was probably the best comic-book adaption ever.

He wears tight clothes? Well, then, I guess I'll watch it.

I saw it at a screening last night. Lots of great action sequences and overall it's still one of the best comic book movie franchises out there. This one felt like the dark middle chapter of a trilogy, even though we all know they'll keep making Spider-Man movies as long as they keep making money. Very enjoyable.

Matt - the confusion probably stems from the fact that some theaters will have a showing at 12:01 tonight - technically tomorrow, but "today" from a "you're not going to sleep before you see it" sort of logic.

Anyway, my friends and I bought tickets two weeks ago for tomorrow night. we're dorks.
