Spidey Senses

 

Last night, the mister and I went to see the new Spiderman movie. LOVED it, by the way. But, from the picture above...you can guess that my reason for loving it was a little different than most people, (or,  most boys, more specifically), who might have chosen a picture more like this... 

or this...

 

or THIS...

haha, yes. I am a girl. Mainly, because I chose this one instead: 

It's interesting, how movies help you reflect on life. Frankly, I'm a person typically opposed to too much movie watching, video game playing and other "brainless activities". I realize there are many arguments to refute that label, and I'm well aware it's an over-generalization, but--bear with me here. I married one of the biggest movie-lovers known to man. I went from having a collection of four movies (three of which Matthew gifted me while we were dating), to having over 300 in our joint collection after getting married. Matthew and I have spent countless hours of our newlywed lives snuggled up watching episodes of Modern Family and The Mentalist. And, you know what, I've loved it. 

Granted, we still go on bike rides, walks, play games, and do other things. But--I have truly loved watching together and laughing when we see things that remind us of our relationship, or just enjoying watching interactions between the characters we're watching. It's so fun to see character development and relate to the experiences we observe in their "lives".

In short, The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a similar effect. It made me think back on our relationship, smile as I saw things that reminded me of us, and just be grateful for my awesome husband. Cheesy as it may seem, there were many parts that prompted me to lean over and kiss that husband of mine on the cheek, or just squeeze his leg. 

Really, what I'm trying to say is....

The fight scenes were amazing. 

The special effects were top notch. 

The storyline was true to the comics and characters were SO true to form. 

haha...okay, maybe not that's what I'm going for....but I sure loved the movie :) 

I recommend it.
