They Just Didn't Care/Quotes

Dr. Forrester: They did too care! In fact, we've got director Larry Buchanan here with us, don't we, Frank?
TV's Frank: Yeah, Larry, come here. Larry, tell them. Tell these people. Tell them how you took your dream — your vision! — and through blood, sweat, and effort, you owned that dream and turned it into a reality through years — well, days — of hard work, determination, and struggle!

"It really is like they had no idea how to end this movie. It's honestly like the writers were sitting there and they were like:
'We don't know what to do.'
' Make the lizard shoot gas everywhere, turns everyone into creatures. Who cares why he wants to do it. Have Gwen make an antidote. Who cares how she makes this antidote. Just who freaking cares? It's Spider-Man. We're Sony, okay? They'll go and pay to see it, alright? Just write whatever.' "

—Chris Stuckmann on The Amazing Spider-Man 's ending, from his review of the film.
