"After Gwen's death in Amazing Spider-Man #122, Mary Jane finally demonstrated some genuine compassion, as she chose to stay with Peter and grieve together. After some time of healing, Peter and Mary Jane eventually became a regular couple, although his life as Spider-Man often interrupted their plans. MJ even dated Flash Thompson to make Peter jealous. Peter eventually proposed to Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man #182; however MJ declined, saying that she wasn't the sort of girl who could be happy with just one man. Peter proposed to her for a second time in Amazing Spider-Man #290. The wedding followed shortly afterwards in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 and the honeymoon in Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #7.
Mary Jane became like the "police-man's wife", helplessly waiting by the window for her husband to come home, day after day, while her husband risked his life. Mary Jane's character was a far cry from the bubbly flirty crazy redhead she was as a teenager.

Considering that everyone else who died in his life returns eventually (except Uncle Ben), Peter was right the first time. MJ was held captive by "the Stalker", a man who supernaturally began to become like Peter after absorbing his memories. Spider-Man rescued MJ, but after the mental trauma of her captivity, she was unable to return to the stressful lifestyle of living with a husband who risks his life every day.
After spending time apart from Peter pursuing acting while in California, Peter and Mary Jane longed for each other. While Pete flew to California, she flew to New York. With both planes grounded due to storms, they met in a Denver airport (with Captain America and Doctor Doom!), and reconciled. Mary Jane recognized that Peter needed her in his life. Living a life so large, it had seemed as if she was insignificant. She's the motivation that keeps Spider-Man fighting and relentlessly driven to survive when the odds are against him. She has since moved back to New York, and is interested in showing the world she's more than a pretty face and sexy body - but has real acting talent. Sharing Peter's secret with Aunt May, MJ and May have grown closer as well." Source: Spiderfan.org
iF: Are you still glad you’re as flamboyant as the comic book MJ?

DUNST: [Laughs] Mary Jane is a little bit more sexed up in the comic, if you know what I mean. I mean I do wear a padded bra in the film and we wanted to develop Mary Jane into the kind of person girls could look up to. I mean the action figures are pretty busty and there is apparently a video game that is pretty misogynistic, but I haven’t checked that out.

iF: If there are more films would you like to see MJ cut loose and be more of the party girl that she is in the comics?

DUNST: I don’t know. We’ll see, I really haven’t thought about that yet. All I’m thinking about is this movie right now, and if she did change that wouldn’t be up to me.
iF: Are there any aspects of this film that you could personally relate to?

DUNST: So many things. This movie is so good and evil and religion play a big part in SPIDER-MAN to me. Even our visuals like Tobey in the second film being passed by the people in the tram like he’s Jesus. It’s very much good and evil which I think is in a lot of religion. I think it’s about heroes and Peter Parker is everyman. When Spider-man swings through the city you hear melancholic music and he’s tortured by the decisions he has to make; he’s trying to grow up and be a man with these powers. Compared to Superman, whom when he flies through the air is happy music, but Spider-man has always been more tortured, so that makes him a human. You don’t separate the man from the hero. He’s always been in sync for me when it comes to Peter.
iF: So what is your next project?

DUNST: I’m doing a movie with Simon Pegg, who was in SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ, a comedy based on the book HOW TO INFLUENCE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE. It’s such a well-written script and I thought, ‘Yes!’ even before I finished it. I want to do something fun. I play Alison and she works at Vogue/Vanity Fair. It’s not called Vanity Fair in the script. Basically, he [Simon Pegg] plays a writer from London who is very controversial who comes to the magazine and it’s all about the goings on in that celebrity gossip world. It’s about how he’s rejected as a writer. It’s all in the book. Source: Ifmagazine.com

One year later

Here comes the moment of reflection, my dear Weirdos, just One year after the beginning of this blog: remember the 15th May of 2006? Our youth is now a memory.
I hope some of you whom I dedicate this post to, began in that date and still keep on some way, somehow attached to Jake Weird one year later. Greetings from Kendra!

-What is your take on Wendy's relationship with Neil?

Michelle Trachtenberg: "Neil and Wendy are very, very close. She's the only one that knows all of his secrets. She is really just his cornerstone, his rock. And she's everything to him, and that is very special to me. [...] I think the whole point between Wendy and Neil's relationship is that you don't want to see it all because there's something beautifully unspoken about their love, and we just wanted to have each individual person in the audience connect their own feelings to that as well." Radiofree.com
And Joseph, what's your take on Neil's relationship with Wendy (played by Michelle Trachtenberg)?

Joseph: "Ah, yes, Wendy. Well, the character I play... his whole thing is on the outside. He's very attractive, but on the inside, it's a very different matter. And the only way that you ever get to see that as an audience member is through his friendship with Wendy, who's the only one that knows his secrets, and who's the only one to whom he'll show a little warmth. And I love Michelle in this movie. She's so different from anything you've ever seen her do. She's so warm and kind and genuine." Movies.radiofree.com

A weird proof

"Let X equal the quantity of all quantities of X. Let X equal the cold. It is cold in December. The months of cold equal November through February. There are four months of cold and four of heat, leaving four months of indeterminate temperature. In February. It snows. In March. The lake is a lake of ice. In September. The students come back and the bookstores are full. Let X equal the month of full bookstores. The number of books approaches infinity as the number of months of cold approaches four. I will never be as cold now as I will in the future. The future of cold is infinite. The future of heat is the future of cold. The bookstores are infinite and so are never full except in September." -mathematician Robert's proof (Proof, 2005).
