# Rabobi II
Felt like a DVD so we hired Spiderman II this afternoon. Ronwen got bored rather quickly but I enjoyed it muchly. Thank dog they didn't leave the romance thing dangling again. Romantic tension is a tough thing to manage. It adds to the story but leave it too long and you get everyone losing interest and saying "fer chrissakes, get over yourselves and shag already!" I felt that way at the end of Spidey 1. This movie also had a good set-up for Spidey III.
(The Rabobi thing is a South African reference. In the early 80s, when the SABC first started airing African language TV, the Spiderman cartoon series was dubbed into Zulu, and "Spiderman" was translated into "Rabobi" - and us whitey kids would watch "Rabobi" but have no clue what was happening dialogue-wise. Now, every time I hear the Spiderman song, I start humming "Rabobi! Rabobi! Blah blah blah blah Rabobi!")
