My bottom line issue is not with GWB, but with the people he's surrounded by: Cheney, Rumsfeld, The Smoking Man, etc. Bush isn't that bad of a guy, but I don't really believe he's the one making US policy. The whole Iraq takeover reeks of big oil... these guys have had a master plan for the last 15 years regarding the middle east and they've just been foaming at the mouth ever since GB Sr. didn't implement it in Gulf War 1. Now that they're back in power, they've gone way over the line, screwing w/ American rights and ideals for their own gains. I don't need Michael Moore puking at me with his unethical use of out of context quotes and creative, one-sided editing to tell me that.
However, I still want to see F911... I expect I'll leave the theater agreeing with the points made, but being pissed they were made in such a one sided manner.
Anyway, back on the Spiderman topic. I did like the attempt to humanize Peter Parker. In fact that's always been the coolest part of the Spiderman story: SM's alter-ego is actually the more interesting character. (Actually, that's also what ruled about the original Batman movie.) I just thought Raimi was pounding it into my head a little to obviously.... how many scenes were there where we were explicily told that Peter feels torn between love for MJ and duty to the city? It just dragged IMO. I will say however, that it was much better than the alternative: 2 lines of dialog to string together action sequence after action sequence... roll credits.
