Spiderman, Spiderman... ♪
Going to the movie theather in Japan is expensive. Even though there are some discounts, such as student's discount (as a researcher I'm not considered a student yet for that matter...), discount shops, lady's day, etc.; one would never make it for less than 1000 JPY after becoming an adult.
Also, I was a bit disappointed with the movie theather in Himeji. For a city whose population is more a less the same as Londrina's, the movie theathers in my home town in Brazil are so much better...
Anyway, I had to go watch some movies someday. And I found some people wanting to see Spiderman 3, I decided to join them.
Something I didn't see in Himeji, but that's very common in Japan: you reserve your seat when buying your ticket. It means that you're designed a place to seat, so there's no need to rush to enter the room and take the best seats. Which is a little strange for me, but a very good thing anyway. It neutralizates the big groups reserving seats to their friends and the competition to enter the room first to take the good seats.
Many live shows, sports events and other events also have this system here. I think it wouldn't work in Brazil...
Ok, now I see the difference of living in a bigger city... this movie theather is good! Still can't tell if it's worthy the money we spend, but it's a nice place.
About the movie... A friend was telling that they turned Spiderman into Spideremo... Now I see why... But it was a good movie nevertheless. If you keep in mind it's based on a comics character... Some parts really remember old classics, like the reporter saying that "It could be the end of Spiderman... a sad day for the city"... LOL But it still tries to pass on some good values. That deserves some credit.
And when the Spiderman appeared with the US flag on the background, we (all exchange students from Latin American countries) started laughing to death... American movies... there must always be a flag, even though completely needless...

Now I'll have a hard time counting my money to watch other movies I wanna see. "Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End" (from May 25th) and "300" (from June 8th... yep, that's right. It wasn't released in Japan yet). An trailer also seemed very funny... what would you expect from a movie called "Sukiyaki Western"?
When my Japanese language ability gets better, maybe an anime movie would be nice too...
