I never really took note of it when I saw it in theatres, but there's
a scene just outside Aunt May's hospital room, where Pete calls to
check up on MJ. He leaves a message to MJ IDing himself as Peter,
and suddenly, Gobby answers the phone and asks "Can Spiderman come out
and play?!?". Doesn't this create a problem with the whole secret
identity thing?

I mean mean, when I pick up halfway into a message, my machine records
the whole conversation. Wouldn't MJ's machine pick up the the whole
conversation too?

Thanks

Not necessarily. See below.

It depends on the model. Mine doesn't. It's also possible that the Goblin
smashed the thing after the conversation just for kicks. Besides, I got
the distinct impression that MJ so strongly suspects his identity by the
end of the movie that she'll be convinced it's true without the answering
machine.

Since the Goblin was just off to kill MJ, he probably wasn't too concerned
about that.
If MJ was in the room at the time, she could have interpreted it as, "Go,
get Spiderman," since Peter had already claimed to know him.

MJ obviously knows he's Spider-Man at the end of the movie. In fact,
the film makers wanted so badly to drive that point home that she
noticably figures it out twice. Once during the kiss and once a bit
later. She gives the old "Light dawns on Marblehead" look twice.
