Back in Black
Just in case you can’t tell, that article of clothing is, in fact, giving Meany the bird in the final panel of today’s comic. Hey, if a major comic book franchise can spawn a highly acclaimed story arc and noteworthy villain from the idea of an alien that melds with clothing, we can make a costume give somebody the finger.
Maybe one day we’ll adapt it into a blockbuster summer movie.
We could call it Bowfinger.
Spider-Man 3
In lieu of a Spider-Man 3 review, I’m just going to list all the bad stuff about the movie since I think nobody expects to see some sort of Oscar-worthy perfect film when they go see a Spider-Man movie anyway. They go to see the action and the CGI effects. Rest-assured, all of that in this movie is amazing. Venom in motion is stunning. But there’s a lot of stuff in this movie that can’t be forgiven and keeps this from being the best of the franchise:
SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD!
1. Not enough time given to Sandman or Venom’s back stories
2. Too many ridiculous coincidences
3. Too many bad child actors
4. A horrendous jazz scene
5. Spidey takes off his mask way too often.
6. Venom’s voice is not altered in any way. It’s a monster that sounds like Topher Grace. That makes perfect sense. And he doesn’t refer to himself in plural.
Other than that, YAY SPIDER-MAN!!
