But wasn't it obvious all along? Not sure I understand how it works ....Do they have to make a public announcement to make it official ? Sorry - but I don't understand how this works?

You don't understand how WHAT works? I guess you WOULDN'T understand it if you're straight... 'cause you're unconditionally accepted. The only thing that's "official" to this world is that a person's "automatically straight", unless they TAKE COURAGE and declare otherwise...

Sorry 'pet shop boy', but the last post led me to discover this on youtube: quite a few hillarious scenes in "The Worst Movies Ever"...

Sorry Rohan - but I think there's a new cheese on the market called " Spider Cheese" and it seems the world is in love with it......
Spider-Man 3 has been giving the summer blockbuster run a big go for its cash races. Still early on in the Summer run we now have some incredible numbers thrown out for a movie getting TONS of mixed reviews.
Yahoo News quotes:
The superhero's latest adventure, "Spider-Man 3," smashed box-office records with $148 million in its first three days, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That put it ahead of the previous record debut of $135.6 million set last summer by "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
With $59.3 million on opening day Friday, Sony's "Spider-Man 3" broke the single-day box-office record, also held by "Dead Man's Chest" with $55.8 million in its first day.
Since it began rolling out overseas on Tuesday, "Spider-Man 3" has taken in $227 million in foreign markets, bringing the film's worldwide total to $375 million. In just days, the movie has grossed $117 million more than its whopping $258 million production budget.
Well - how does it feel to be part of " the minority report " ?
Case Closed

Well this all just proves one thing then, doesn't it? We're all SHEEP! Just following whatever they make us believe is 'good', suckers just falling for it!
Really, a movie doing well DOESN'T mean it's a good movie... in this case at least it's down to great marketing - they must have spent SO MUCH on that!
Taste differs - I'll give you that much. If some people like the movie, well great for them.
Tell you the truth, even if I knew what I know now, I would still have gone to see the movie. Because a) I'm a Spider-Man fan, b) I'm a comic and comic-movies fan, and c) I'd want to see it just for the special effects and action scenes... (and so I'm sorry to admit I'm also a 'sheep' in this case!
)
But overall as a movie it still SUCKS!

Just wanted to add that - YES! , the marketing probably costs a few Million Dollars, and rightly so , because if you wanna sell something today - you need Brilliant Marketing , but this is not the only reason why millions of people all over the world paid for their admission ticket . No I think the key factor is " Word of Mouth " . People go to see it because they were intrigued and facinated by the trailor , and then beCAUSE they were overwhelmed by an outstanding Movie - they tell everyone that they come in contact with , that it was outstanding!and definately worth watching. The three reasons you gave for watching it -alone, is already enough to have enjoyed it.
But you have my symphathy as I had the same dilemma with Casino Royale. But I'm happy that it was a big success - even though I thought it was probably the worst Bond Movie Ever (Including George Lazenby's attempt to be Bond).
Long Live Spidy & 007 !

Whatever...
Just in my opinion says a lot about us as society if we can "enjoy" that "tripe!" (I'm talking about SM3 of course).
For the record - those were my reasons for watching it, but I certainly didn't enjoy it...

Ouch! Raging OUCH!
Thankfully Rohan is NOT alone on this one. In fact, I for one, ALWAYS prefer to make up a portion of our world's 'minority' report - see Ro's great posts above re. sheep (and my thread on our "atrocious modern society beliefs" and "organized religion" on this message board a year or so ago.
Here's a link of short montage I made (only a FEW of the many) of Spidey 3 fluffs. All thanks to Jo'burg's very own friendly neighborhood Nigerian DVD-hawker at the Sandton City intersection. (Oh, and that hilariously hideous scene with the US-flag isn't in there (!) - I just forgot, and it should've been there!)
I'm not going to go into detail on Spiderman 3, but honestly, it SUCKED. Even more than Pirates 3!
"'Nuff said" - PMSL!

Wow - it's amazing to what lenghts some people ( the Minority) will go ....reminds me a bit of the "Dooms day Prophets" But hey , there's always Spiderman 4 to look forward to.
By the way - The walking scene was not supposed to look "cool". It was supposed to look ridiculous, like a nerd trying to be cool, but not knowing how to. And for that I think the acting deserves a 10 out of 10.
Come on peeps - try and give it a rest....it's action adventure - not a true life drama... If I wanna cry - I'll watch Dead poets society again .....

More great news.... OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark)... the "missing-from-action" band of the 80's Electronic "Big Four" (the others being Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and Depeche Mode), has also re-united, is touring again, and plans to release a brand new album in 2007!
