Spider-Man 3: The Dr. Phil Special
Post-9/11, Hollywood movies are required to provide not just entertainment but psychotherapy. It’s okay to cry, look Spidey does it all the time. Peter is eaten up by feelings of revenge and guilt, but he’s still a hero. Harry has father issues, but redeems himself in the end. Marko (Sandman overread: The desert comes to Manhattan) committed crimes, but he was only raising money for his daughter’s medical bills. Eddie was after Peter’s job, but he just wanted to be luvved. And if you want to do an interpretative dance to spite your ex-girlfriend right after she’s made the career movie from Broadway starlet to waitress, go ahead, that doesn’t make you gay.
But Photoshopping/tinkering with a front-page news photo, that’s evil.
Here’s a piece on Sandman and the physics of granular materials.

OMG-Anything but that Loud Mouth Blubber, I’d rather have a psychotheraphy session with Sponge Bob.
