Comic legend John Byrne writes a column for me, and I believe he has refused to watch the Spider-Man movie. Of course, he has a more vested interest in the property than the average movie-goer or comic fan.

I wasn't too fond on the first Spider-Man, but I loved the second.

I was lukewarm on the first, but the second film was awesome. I think he needs to see the second film... trouble is, he should see the first film first. He's a stubborn bastard.

Anyways, I think your friend is missing out. One of my friends was the same way, he even had a near-mint copy of Amazing Fantasy #15. He gave up and watched it...and loved it.

I can see where your friend is coming from. I'm a big fan of the novel The Last of the Mohicans, and everytime I try to watch Mann's version I become outrageously frustrated. I have yet to finish it.
It's a shame about your friend, though, because both Spider-Man flicks are great fun.

Talking bad about Mr. Rogers?
Thats like a sin dude. lol.
Wow. Your mom tied you to the chair because you refused to eat her sugared banana? Not cool dude.
I really hope you were joking. Sounds like you were, but I have seen people before say crazy stuff like this and they were serious.
Maybe your friend would like a sugared banana. lol...

I couldn't stand The Electric Company when I was a kid. The only reason I watched it was to see Spidey, and that wasn't so great because it bugged me that he never talked.
This cool kid was watching Bugs Bunny cartoons, Superfriends, and old Godzilla movies instead.

Friends are weird sometimes. I've got a friend who refused to play the multiplayer mode on Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles with me because he said he'd never played a Final Fantasy game before. I told him that all the Final Fantasy games were unrelated and that Crystal Chronicles was ever more unrelated than most, but he said if he played it then he wouldn't be able to say he'd never played a Final Fantasy game anymore. Yeah, good luck getting the ladies with that line.
