fuck it, time to rewatch and live-tweet the #SpiderMan films. My feed has been too full of sadness and anger lately so i'ma fill it with Spider-Man instead.
it is a crime that we don't get to read these words more often. Raimi is truly one of the finest filmmakers of our time.
my favourite thing about early 2000s movies is all the dystopian high schools populated exclusively by 30 year olds
also the portions on that school lunch are ridiculous. I wish I'd gone to that school.
this scene always makes me smile. The first time they *really* talk despite growing up neighbours, the first time he feels comfortable expressing himself, and she feels genuinely seen for who she is.
The Peter-MJ romance is absolutely the beating heart of this trilogy.

Honestly, as much as I like modern superhero films, they're painfully lacking in romance. Peter and MJ's love story in the Raimi films is sweet, sincere, sad, cruel, hopeful. It feels like something real. More of this in superhero movies please!
