Why Wikipedia is the best and worst thing
Jul. 12th, 2008 06:31 amI love how I can start out looking up something small for a very minor plot point in what was supposed to be a thoughtful, character-based, blood-drenched short story about gender identity and end up totally fascinated by an article on a Depression-era fascist plot to overthrow the U.S. government, formulated by Gilded Age captains of industry, including the current president's grandfather. (It's not really that much of a stretch, as I was looking up information on the 1954 Guatemala coup. For the blood-drenched story about gender identity. Yes.)
We watched most of Spiderman 3 today. Yesterday. Holy crap, it's almost 7 AM. ...Peter Parker was the least sympathetic character in the entire movie, except for Mary Jane. No, scratch that. No, actually, she was only slightly more sympathetic than he was. He was a douche. I mean, otherwise, it was a good superhero movie--melodramatic, slightly silly, with fun CGI. But the hero was such a douche. And not a fun antihero douche, either. Just whiny, even without Venom. Srsly.
I am going to go clean the litterbox now.
