While my fellow classmates were concerning themselves with graduation, tuxedos, dresses, and dates, my mind was laser focused on taking the ultimate spin. Even before I had secured my opening day tickets, it was all I could think about for months after the first teaser footage and the subsequent coverage in Wizard magazine began. I know the time because I still have the ticket, snugly tucked away in the GameCube case for the game of the same name.įor my entire life, I was waiting for my favorite superhero, Spider-Man, to get his own live-action feature film, and on May 3rd 2002, it had finally arrived. Luckily, the weather held up just enough for me to be entrusted with the family station wagon, and I was on my way to the 12:30 PM screening with my dearest friend at the time. For you see, that day was the day I was to see Spider-Man, and if the road conditions were unfavorable, there was no way my parents were going to let me drive into the city by myself to see it. After a week of mild spring weather, I woke up to snowfall which made my heart sink down to my feet.

I can remember what it was like 20 years ago as if it was yesterday.
