this is the best spider-man movie sorry not sorry

I recently listened to David Fincher's commentary on The Social Network DVD, and he offers a new perspective on the Eduardo dilution scene. Fincher mentions that the attorneys most likely pulled Mark aside and asked, "Do you want your friend to own 30% of something worth $5 million, or 0.003% of something worth $15 billion?" Which with a business mindset makes total sense.  Yet Andrew Garfield plays the scene as if it's a division of spoils, or as though Eduardo is being actively screwed over and their partnership has been tampered with. His quiet defeat and softness during the share dilution scene make the emotional catharsis of finally exploding at Eisenberg all the more powerful. It's one of the best confrontations I've ever seen in film.  This movie should be in my top 4, but I’m afraid it would then take away from the films that are unique to my personal whimsy.

i hope i grow up to be half the bear he is

willem really was da foe in this movie, huh?
