2002 Spiderman vs. 2012 Spiderman?
Q. I saw the new one last night. To be honest, it was good and Andrew Garfield did a great job, but I still prefer the 2002 movie and overall I prefer Tobey Maguire. Some things I didn't like about the new one:
1. I thought Garfield was good, but wasn't nerdy enough. they didn't portray him as a very "nerdy" kid like Peter Parker is
2. For some reason, it really bothered me that the new Spiderman used home made spiderweb launchers on his wrists instead of it coming right out of him like the original ones. My dad says that in the normal comic books, he used webbing gadgets (I don't believe that's true) but to me it kinda made this spiderman less "spidier"
3. I thought Tobey Maguire was more of a "super hero" and had more "superhuman strength" and stuff like that. I mean, come on, when you get shot in the leg and are a super hero, that shit's supposed to tickle you
4. last but not least, I didn't really like the new outfit too much. I thought the old one was better

In conclusion, I thought Garfield was good and the movie was entertaining. i thought the story line was pretty good and the villain was ok. I still think Tobey played a much better Peter Parker even though Garfield is a hell of an actor

A. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The new one was really good, and will go down as one of my favorites, but the 2002 version is what I grew up with and it would have been really hard to top it


Where does financial aid money for students come from?
Q. I work very hard at my job to pay for bills, school, and life's daily needs. Although I understand why my jobless friend should get a large check from financial aid, it bothers me that instead of saving their money for future educational purposes, they choose to spend the money on impulse buys and pretty electronic gadgets. So then it got me wondering, where exactly does financial aid money comes from?

So if financial aid money comes from the government, and taxpayers are the ones funding the government, does that mean that I'm paying for my classmate's spending on iPods, macbooks, and Disney passes?
@ Mr. A$$: I DO ACTUALLY have to pay taxes and do not NOT get funds returned to me on my tax return (like most people). I guess I am paying for financial aid. I think I'll stay on my soapbox a while longer.

A. Mary, yes we all are paying for them to buy all sorts of nifty gadgets with our tax dollars just like our tax dollars go to fund and pay for some many things that in my mind is ridiculous (i.e: lining politicians pockets for their own benefits, funding various agencies that are there to help U.S. citizens but help illegals instead, big old jet airliner rides and overly price vacations for the overly paid and useless politicians, etc.).

Sadly students (and I'm not talking just young students, I'm talking all ages) seem to think that if they have money left over from scholarships, grants and other financial aid that it's free reign to spend, spend, spend instead of save as they may not get that "free" money the next school year. My daughter has gotten some scholarships and grants and has money left over but it is set aside for the 2012-2013 school year as according to the FAFSA application she does not qualify for anything other than a loan even though my income went down and nothing has really changed for us from last year other than about being $2000 less. Not sure why it's changed but she at least has the extra funds from her current school years financial aid to pay for the next school year (she attends a local community college).

BTW....though Kyle seems to think most everyone gets an income tax refund he is wrong. I know from experience and I'm a single parent with a single income (very minimal) and a kid in college you'd think I'd get one but it's not always so.


So though it may frustrate you, there is not much you can do. So I say stay on that soapbox because I'm right there with you!
