GOOD MEAN GIRLS

Lovely, lovely movie. Lindsay Lohan is convincing. The dialog and characterizations are snappy yet credible, and the movie winds up with a huge heart, without seeming oversentimental. Nice one, Tina Fey.

Meanwhile, Spiderman 2 was such a piece of junk I walked out. How many scenes do we need to see Peter Parker lose in before the filmmakers are sure we get that he's a loser? Too many. I never liked Spiderman the comic, because of all his worrying and whining. He's the superhero you'd never fantasize about being, because his life is such a realm of angst. At least Clark Kent could hold down a job. I was always more of a DC kid. I guess that's not gonna change.
