Mind motherfucking blown.

How else is he gonna get on the web.

 

[nateeasy]

She seems like the type of performer that would be playing at a parade.

lol what? :O

 

[Ivan 3414]

She had a smash hit and her career was looking bright, but I guess the record execs were a bit overzealous and tried to solidify her as a star before she even became one. Hence the Spider-Man cameo.

That's really it.

 

[Mogwai]

I have a more pressing concern...

Why the heck was Michael Jackson in Men in Black 2?

 

[KDC720]

All 3 of the Raimi movies had some weird cameos. Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, and Macho Man were the only ones that didnt feel out of place.

I GOTCHA FOR 3 MINUTES. 3 MINUTES OF PLAY TIME!!!

 

[karasu]

And Bruce Campbell.

WTF was this movie... now that we dig into it, it all feels like some bizarre fever-dream.

And Xena!

I don't remember this for some reason. lol

 

[Raptomex]

It was sort of a weird cameo that was just like... there. Was she really that popular in 2001?

She was in Training Day. Same year.

 

[RedfieldSandwich]

The question really is...

Why isn't she in every other movie?

 

[teruterubozu]

There's probably a string of e-mails explaining this move.

 

[VeryGooster]

The question really is...

Why isn't she in every other movie?

"I have an army"
"We have a Macy Gray"

 

[rashbeep]

Always enjoyed the Lucy Lawless cameo.

Holy shit

 

[Catdaddy]

She has a good agent

 

[bengraven]

It was a really disappointingly bad movie.

This is coming from a guy who's a huge Spidey fan - I still haven't seen a good Spider-man film.

 

[jon bones]

it was the start of Raimi's bullshit leading into Spiderman 3. the signs were all there.

we didn't listen!

 

[RedfieldSandwich]

"I have an army"
"We have a Macy Gray"

I'd run scared.

Rosemary's Macy #MacyMovies

Michael Jackson's cameo actually fit MIB because there was a running joke about celebrities being aliens. His cameo is a little in your face for sure, but it's not that weird in the context of the movies.

 

[AlexBasch]

I need to dig out some very old magazines, but when The Hives were in Mexico around those years the interviewer asked them "why the hell is your song in the Spiderman soundtrack?"

Pelle Almqvist answered something like: "I don't know, but we would have kicked more ass than that Macy Gray singer in the movie, who the hell is she anyway?"

My brother and I remember this a lot.

 

[Fliesen]

"He stinks! And I don't like him!"

looks a weird lot like Zooey Deschanel to me :/

 

[Sapiens]

So we could look back at the film and tell committed Sam Raimi fans that they are delusional about the quality of any of his work - especially the Spidermen Motion Picture Trilobite.

 

[spindashing]

...Whoah, what the fuck?! I need to rewatch this movie.

 

[spookyfish]

Holy shit

Lawless is married to Rob Tapert, who is co-producer/friends with Raimi and Campbell.

 

[Shanlei91]

Everyone was in those movies.

 

[Sanjuro]

Why was the Macho Man Randy Savage in the film? Totally threw me out of the moment.

Also Horatio Sanz.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Part one.

"He stinks! And I don't like him!"

Always enjoyed the Lucy Lawless cameo.

Agent Hartley! They ARE the same universe after all!

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Wasn't Macy Gray in training day also around the same time?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Everyone was in those movies.

That one is news to me.

 

[Spinluck]

It was terrible.

At the time I thought she was a fictional singer made just for the movie and that scene.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It was terrible.

movie already aged poorly but her inclusion stuck out like a sore thumb the year after it released.

HOW? How did i not notice?! I actually watched it again afew days ago too!

 

[RedfieldSandwich]

It has aged horrifically but dear Macy dates it even more.

 

[Mariolee]

"He stinks! And I don't like him!"

Holy guacamole. Was that really her? I mean, I can kinda see it but dang.

 

[redmetal86]

Everyone was in those movies.

Mind blown.

 

[FriedConsole]

Because she was popular at the time. Same reason Huey Lewis is in Back to the Future.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Everyone was in those movies.

That really doesn't look like Thomas Jane him to me. What is the little circle supposed to be drawing my attention to?

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

That really doesn't look like Thomas Jane him to me. What is the little circle supposed to be drawing my attention to?

The white of the skull.

Doesn't really look like him to me, either.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

The white of the skull.

That's what I figured, but, no way. Is the skull reaching out of his coat?

 

[Bold One]

Part one.

"He stinks! And I don't like him!"

Always enjoyed the Lucy Lawless cameo.

 

[Acorn]

She was also in ssx tricky

 

[TwoDurans]

Yeah, it was a cross-promotion, from what I recall. Free advertising for Sony music.

Same reason ASM2 had a Sony laptop and Sony cellphone... and Bing.com, lol.

It was ASM1 that had Bing. They fixed it in ASM2 after everyone made fun of the fact that a tech geek like Parker would use Bing.com

 

[Alphahawk]

It's the same reason why Batman 89 is entirely soundtracked by Prince, which is way more jarring iMO.

 

[Revolver]

She was also in ssx tricky

With David Arquette, Lucy Liu, Oliver Platt, Jim Rose and Bif Naked among others. Strange times.

 

[sirap]

You know a movie is good when a decade has passed and Macy Gray's cameo is what people complain about.

 

[Sephzilla]

[BocoDragon]

I knew Xena was in the movie.

"Ulalalalalala!!" *gives you Xena's war cry and one of those crazy death pinches - you are already dead*

 

[canoli2006]

I hate that "go Spidey go" girl from Spider-Man 2. So fake and cringeworthy.
