I went to see …

May 6th, 2002

I went to see Spider-Man on the weekend. I think everyone feels rather unanimous about it….It’s ok, but certainly not great.

We were discussing this morning, round the ol’ juicebar here, how big blockbuster movies are just ads for products — for all the toys, video tapes, and various gadgets with the Spider-Man name attached that will come out in conjunction with the film’s release. It’s all the stuff that’s created around the movie that makes money for the studio, not the movie itself. The movie just serves to send you out to the toy store or the fast food joint to pick up your trinkets that you’ll fawn over for about half an hour, then put in a box under your bed.

How’s that for a little anti-corporate consumer cynicism for ya?

Yo Jenn, have you handed over your $13.50 to The Webbed One yet?
