Have you seen Spider-Man 2 yet?

Yes, yes… Spider-Man 2 opened las Wednesday. So I went to see it at 12:01. Damn those west coast people! They started seeing before I did!
The movie is really great, and the special effects are awesome. Specially Doctor Octopus (the mechanical arms and the fake pectorals). Can’t wait for Spider-Man 3!
