Beware the Turtlehead!!!.
Permalink  

Saw this in a Chicago Museum exhibit while on a Date with the Stephinator a while back. It took her a minute to realize why I had gone bonkers, violently laughing out loud!




Turtle-headed protective wooden figure



From a royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Thebes, Egypt


End of the 18th Dynasty, around 1325 BC

That was pretty much the Stephster's reactions. Something like:

Speaking of girl things, saw Spiderman 2 last weekend. Lot's of drama and not much action, did anyone else think this movie strayed dangerously into 'chick-flick' territory?

Dangerous as in the movie did stray to a dangerous extent?


You know, like Beaches or Fried Green Tomatoes?

It's OK really - I watch films for the entertainment value. 
It doesn't matter to me whether it's trying to be an action film, a chick flick, a sci-fi, I'll watch 'em all.  The only thing I won't watch is horror.  Oh and some 'supernatural' stuff bordering on too scary.  Otherwise, I'm up for it.


I have to say, though, that I've never seen Fried Green Tomatoes or Beaches.  Too girlie!!!

There's probably nothing wrong with a drama flick, but it strikes me as odd that a movie about a super hero, who is supposed be kicking some serious arse, resembles a soap opera more than an action film!


And I'm not alone on this:

Beware the psychobabble!!!.

Yeah.  I can see where you (and they) are coming from, Dude.  But you gotta admit that the action was absolutely stonkingly fantastic!  Makes it all worthwhile.  And you can always skip the chick bits on DVD.

True, but you'd be skipping a lot of the movie.


 


What was up with that pansy scene when he's given up being Spidey, so that he can get back in touch with his inner child, or some other crap, and he's strolling through campus happy like a jay bird. That was 5 minutes I wish I spent watching something else!


 


Or what's going on with the inner turmoil, 'I can't fire off my webs temporarily' crap?


 


And the nonsense that's going on between P.P. and his friend, Harry? I thought one of them was going to start crying!


 


Some of the effects were dynamite, and some character development is nice, but did they take it too far? I suspect they did...

This whole 'girly' element seems to be creeping into a lot of superhero movies lately. I watched X-men again on tele last night and, yes, it has kick ass action but it also contains lots of 'inner turmoil' that the heros have to go through before they can waste the bad guys.


I think the new Batman flick will be of much the same ilk.


If you want to watch a film for entertainments sake (and you have a warpped sense of humour) I would thoroughly recommend Team America: World Police. I have not laughed so much at a sex scene since 9 1/2 weeks!
