With the amazing news this weeks that Spiderman will appear in a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film and be rebooted (again), I thought I would revisit the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spiderman movie. This is my favorite of the Spiderman movies we have had over the last 20 years. Although it has been awhile since I have seen the Sam Rami trilogy. While those first two Rami movies might have been better made, I much prefer Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone to Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Andrew Garfield is the best Spiderman we have ever had onscreen. The only sad news about the Sony/Marvel deal is that he is out as Spiderman.
Revisiting the movie was a good experience. The movie is solid, although after watching Amazing Spiderman 2 crapfest in the theater, I did see some foreshadowings in the first one.
Exercise wise, yesterday was a good day. 101 minutes and 5.7 miles. I pushed myself pretty hard and feel good about that. I am starting to get a little soreness in my left ankle. So I will have to keep an eye on that. Eating wise went pretty well yesterday. We have gone to making some calorie friendly soups for work lunch. My wife made a glorious squash soup and I made an okay red pepper bisque. Also, I am getting a little better about eating at night. It helps to have some fruit around to eat instead of something "carby." Pomegranites have been my choice of late. They are tasty and take a while to eat so that makes them perfect for a nighttime snack.
I did not finish the Spiderman movie because it is so long. However I will finish it tomorrow. Not sure if I will follow it up with the Sami Rami trilogy or maybe the Avengers to see them back to back so I can try to get a clearer picture of how these two universes will mesh. It seems it might be a superhero heavy movie week for me, which is always a fun time.
I will not rate The Amazing Spiderman as I have not finished it yet. However the scale still goes to 302.
Days: 14
Movies: 11.6
Minutes: 1123
Miles: 61.8
Pounds Lost: 3
