He must be pretty happy having that much work ahead of him. Guarenteed $$$ in the bank especially with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,Spider-Man, and Evil Dead IV. But also could be stressful to know you have to think all that crap up and do a good job at it.

@Red: Nice!

@tea: I enjoyed Spider-Man 3, but, like others, I had complaints with it:

1) There should have only been one villain.
2) If that one villain was Venom, it shouldn't have been "Eric" from That 70's show.
3) Green Goblin II should not have been a hero.
4) Gwen Stacy should have been played by an actress who can actually act.
5) Given that we had two villains, they way they decide to team-up after five seconds of meeting one another was waaaaayyy contrived.

No, I don't have a problem with "Bad Peter" dancing. It just goes to show how good of a person Parker is, that when he's corrupted, all he does is...dance.

I wonder if the yeti can drive Raimi's yellow car.

I still have faith in Raimi because of Spidey 2 and how awesome it was. But I hope Spidey 4 is many steps up from Spidey 3.....I'm still haunted by emo-dancing Peter and the small Eric Foreman Eddie Brock....*shudders*

Aren't Yetis gentle creatures? I mean, if they actually find one, it will probably get shot because of fear-mongering movies like this!

As long as a dancing Peter Parker isn't going to break a leg this movie it might be OK.
