I absolutely love when we get unexpected surprises like this! Can’t wait to watch this tonight!

To quote our favorite Sith Lord “a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!” ❤️

If you ever find it hard to believe how old this movie is, the scene where Peter's best idea of a killer battle quip is basically "Yeah well, you're gay" is some easy confirmation. And let me be clear, as someone who was actually in high school at the time, I'm not going to pretend that isn't how we all talked. But it's quite a jarring reminder every time I see it now, and it's quite amusing to imagine how young people watching the movie for the first time to get caught up for No Way Home reacted to it. They were probably cheering on those chair shots.

The initial teaser trailer for this film was a single scene where bank robbers escaping in a helicopter get caught by a giant web strung between the Twin Towers. This was naturally pulled after the September 11th attacks, but it's very popularly speculated that it was actually supposed to be Spider-Man's first proper appearance in the film, given that the one we actually see in the film is very low-key (though I always found the use of civilian interviews, including Sam Raimi's old buddy Lucy Lawless as a punk who thinks eight legs sounds hot, worked really well and was quite a refreshing way to introduce a superhero).

With Sam Raimi, you naturally also get Bruce Campbell, and ever since these movies, he loves pointing out how his cameo roles are actually a lot more important than you might think. In the case of the first film, he comes up with the name Spider-Man, so "if it wasn't for my character, this multi-million dollar franchise would be called The Human Spider."

About spoiling Spider-Man: NWH... You would´ve got spoiled anyway because of the movie poster/thumb-nail...

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Tobey Maguire remains the best Spider-Man, or at least my favorite. Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin stands out as one of the best comic book movie villains. Willem brings a very strong Jekyll and Hyde energy to the Goblin, and as you noted, there was much campiness to the role which is terrific. It's the trouble with a lot of comic book movies these days, no one much takes the time to pull off a really sinister campy villain. It's a lost art. I love Sam Raimi’s direction for this, particularly his bringing his trademark style to this. Danny Elfman delivered a fantastic theme for Spidey. Likewise, he provided a most malevolent motif for the Goblin. I like the fact that you were quite taken with Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Murphy as Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Yeah, no matter how many times you see it, Uncle Ben’s death hurts. Recent years it’s hurt more than it has in years past. That got me in your reaction, how saddened you were at that. Similarly, I loved your reaction to the line, “I have a father. His name was Ben Parker.” I still love how this film served as an introduction to my family to J. K. Simmons. He is so perfectly cast as J. Jonah Jameson. I appreciated that you liked he didn’t sell Peter out. I'm with you on the love triangle. I'm not opposed to love triangles all together. If they’re done well enough, they can work. Generally speaking, however, I agree with you on not caring for the trope. The thing with Mary Jane is it feels like it’s meant to be similar to the whole Superman and Lois Lane type scenario. Credit to Kirsten Dunst in that she gives the impression that on some level, Mary Jane does know, or at least suspects the truth. The brutality of the film does stand out. Seeing this again as an adult, it makes more of an impression than it did when I first saw it way back when. The final fight, especially, that scene is dark. Other small highlights are since it’s Raimi directing, we have a cameo from both Bruce Campbell and the yellow 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 from the Evil Dead trilogy that appears in almost every one of Raimi’s films. I also love how blink and you miss it Stan Lee’s cameo is in this. It was great too, when you recognized Octavia Spencer in the small role that she had in this. I’m glad to see you enjoyed this film. I certainly enjoyed revisiting and sharing it with you, Jess. Thank you very much.
