Take2008/I

Jim:
Hey, you know how you said Spiderman 2 and X-men 2 are two of your favorite films?

Jeff:
Yeah?

Jim:
Have you ever noticed how these franchises that start off so promisingly always fall flat on their face when it comes to the third installment?

Jeff:
Yeah, I can think of one - Spider-man 3!

Jim:
Oh, that was the worst offender!

Jeff:
F***ing crap!

Jim:
I mean, X-men 3 "Juggernaut, b*tch!" - low point of the world - but Spider-man 3 was the worst overall. I mean, when he started dancing down that street...

Jeff:
And the part where he goes in front of that bloody American flag for no reason!

Jim:
Oh, that pissed me off!

Jeff:
I've never heard so many people in the cinema shout out "Oh, for f***'s sake!"

Jim:
Yeah, same with me! And I'm like, that butler at the end?

Jeff:
Yeah, what was that about?

Jim:
Where did you come from? It's like...

Jeff:
You've been away for the whole film, and then he just appears!

Jim:
Where have you been? It's like [puts on an old man voice] "Well, I just figured since I've been watching you trying to kill your best friend for two years now, now that you've stopped and you're prepared to become a recluse, now I can tell you, given my immense knowledge of glider blades that it's all been in vain". Well, thank you so very freaking much!

Jeff:
[laughs] You film geek! Shame on you Sam Raimi, though.

Jim:
Shame on you, Sam Raimi!

Jeff:
Yeah, cinema as an art form died that day.

Jim:
[long pause] How did we get onto that?
