Read your post about the Spidey movie... actually, I believe Peter and the gang were originally high schoolers way back in Amazing Fantasy # 15-- the first appearance of old Web-Head. It's been years since I read the story, so I MIGHT be wrong, but I don't think so....
Kirsten Dunst was a great MJ, but she DID look a little old to be a high school senior, unless she stayed back a couple of times.
I think Spider-Man is the BEST super-hero comic book movie ever... better than the Batman and Superman movies, and I prefer DC over Marvel so tat says alot.
The slight changes made in Spider-Man, like the genetically engineered spider and the organic web-shooters, are welcome and logical and enhance Spidey greatly. Hey, if Stan "The Man" Lee gives it his stamp of approval, who am I to say other wise. 'nuff said! Carry on, true believers!
Excelsior!
