So I've got Spiderman 2 on FX right now, which is where, if ever, I'll see new new Spiderman. I noticed old new Uncle Ben looks a bit like Martin Sheen.

I love the pitch of Raimi's first two. I understand why Sony had to make another movie, but why reboot?

Redlettermedia's review has convinced me not to head out and see Spiderman.

Watching Lawrence of Arabia. Had to stop just prior to the raid on Aqaba because it was getting late and I get up at 530 for work.
Kinda makes me wish I had a huge screen TV.

Actually caught Lawrence of Arabia at the Tivoli about 14 years ago. I can't remember if it had one or two intermissions.

"Lawrence of Arabia", one of the most famous match cuts in history, with an actual match.

No one wanted to see Ernest Borgnine naked, and yet there were urban myths about how he got down in the bedroom. He was married five times — once, for 38 contentious days, to Ethel Merman, whom he was rumored to have Dutch-ovened on their wedding night. In Merman's autobiography, the chapter "My Marriage to Ernest Borgnine" consists of a single blank page. Borgnine seems to have agreed. He said the marriage became "Hell on Earth" by the end of the honeymoon, and once cracked that wedding Merman was "the worst mistake of my life. I thought I was marrying Rosemary Clooney."

He could be coarse. He made rude remarks about feminists ("You can't expect anyone to take you seriously if you burn your undies and tell me I'm a pig. That's why it failed. Too many ugly broads telling me that they don't want to sleep with me. Who wanted you anyway?") and Brokeback Mountain ("If John Wayne were alive, he’d be rolling over in his grave"). Sometimes he'd say that working kept him young; once, in 2008, in a whispered aside to Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy that got picked up by a microphone and went out over Rupert Murdoch's air, he answered a question about the secret of his longevity by saying "I masturbate a lot." Either way: He stayed busy.
