Spiderman: The Saving Private Ryan Disease

[Bereta_Eder]

why does this surprise you?

[Bereta_Eder]

BTW by greeks I meant greek-americans

I thought you knew that?

[Bereta_Eder]

hmm, well I'm not sure

they stated Greece as their country of birth anyway.

here it is:

It identifies the officers of "Greek Company A, Louisiana Militia, Capt. Nicolas Touloubief, 1 Lt. Alex. Laxaredo, 2 Lt. D. Gregori, 2 Lt. N Bragoreff, and 2 Lt. Constantino Coratosos." In addition, there is a military order issued from the Adjutant General's Office, New Orleans, dated June 5, 1861, which reads:

Order No. 478


Col. J. T. Winnemore will issue to Capt. Nicolas Touloubief of the Greek Company A of one captain, three lieutenants, eight noncommissioned officers and seventy privates . . .(illegible) . . and subsistence stores . . .(illegible). . ."

The guy is a total ****er! The girl throws herself into his arms, saying "I don't love spiderman - I love Peter Parker" and the guys just stands there and says (to himself) "sorry, no can do, the way of the hero, responsibilities come with power, blah, blah..."

He had just gotten through saving her from a situation his love for her had put her in. Plus if you think about it from the point of view of the comics it makes sense,

How did Superman manage then? How could he have both his powers and the girl?

Spiderman isn't Superman, you know.

The way they made his best friend hate spiderman to make an excuse for a sequel is pretty lame too.

Would you rather this origin: Devasted by his father's death Harry Osborn stripped the Green Goblin costume off his father's "corpse" and began his new carrer as the Green Goblin! Consumed with madness Harry trained for weeks so he could become as great a goblin as Norman. Then Harry's life took a turn. He had discovered a Spider-Man mask in the dresser of his roomate(and best friend) Peter Parker!

Well it opened here less than 24 hours ago and I finally got to see it. The flag ending wasn't that bad (speaking as a non-American), very brief and doesn't that building have a flag on it anyway?

What got me was the NYers all pitching in to throw stuff at Goblin. "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THAT was one of those patriotic mindless moments.

Our moviegoing crowd was great - during all of the silly "When you stare into her eyes you feel..." stuff the crowd was laughing their heads off!

Comedy GOLD.

I have the feeling that Mark's observation was not the American flag on the end of the particular movie but rather the fact that the 90% of the American movies that are played in Europe have in the one or the other way persistent elements of promotion of the American way of living. This is not necessarily bad but surely tiresome to the non-American audience.

Besides I haven't seen any insults or malicious intentions on Mark's comments so far. In the contrary many of you have thrown nothing but insults and mocking comments showing nothing more than an idiotic and rediculous attitude and disrespect to a fellowman.

You are full of s-h-i-t

You know Rogan that free blacks did serve in the that war along with the War of 1812 and the Civil War. So roll your eyes a little harder

While true, freed slaves generally helped the side that freed them. Turning around and fighting for the Americans after the Brits freed you would be foolish, since the Americans will only re-enslave you. But if they'd portratyed the way slaves actually were, the movie would have been called racist for implying that Blacks were traitors.

I don't and I certainly didn't ask your opinion, did I?

[SpencerH]

Well you must have watched some of them, or else your commenting in a public forum on a topic you know nothing about.

[Keygen]

I guess I must have once

Sorry but I am not a fun of your recent cataclysm of patriotic excess and bionic chicks that beat the hell out of men

Noticed that too, and had a similar reaction (I cringed). That was pretty blatant.
