. Not bad for a guy who started his career with $250,000 horror movie, is it? I'm digging the new costume. Anyone know of anymore footage? Wasn't there some at ComicCon? Anyone post a link? “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.”

I know how you feel. Bringing in Venom and Sandman just seems desperate, and hiring Topher "That 70s Show" Grace as Venom does not sit well with me.

SM2 was following a completely different story arc, which is why they abanded the Green Goblin one. I think that there is a lot of unexplored potential for the universe, but SM2 didn't fool around for the sake of introducing more characters. It told a compete story in its confines. I think that that the Osborune part felt sort of tacked on.

but in any case... either SM3 will be a really great movie, or it will be a really crappy piece of junk! The line is that thin...
There are alot of new characters and new storylines (for each character) that can only fit within a minimum of 2:40 hours to make it solid enough (with so much story and characters to introduce properly). In any case, I'm thinking it's going to be a sloppy sequel... but I hope I'll be surprised.

A big budget does not a movie make...
That what I was saying.

Also, Raimi went back for reshoots when test audeinces said the film was lacking in the action department. Uh oh....that's not a good sign.

I don't know, on the set apparently. They got into a huge shouting match and had to be pulled apart, and now Christopher Young is doing the music. John Dykstra also left and left VFX to his protege Scott Stockdyke (who worked on the previous two films), although I imagine he just wanted to work on another project for SPI.

Indeed. I'm quite fond of Elfman.

I used to really like Elfman, but lately I feel he's done the same damn score for every movie since Men in Black. Having a style is one thing, but, damn, branch out a little musically.

I'd imagine he was offered more money. Stockdyke is a talented fellow, so maybe he can rectify some the rather obvious mistakes that the previous installments made.
I am a college student who works as a cashier. I can't imagine that amount of money existing.
In 3, it looks like there will still be a shitload of romance drama taking over the action, which really, really sucks.

Elfman left because he felt Raimi was too attached to the temp track on Spider-Man 2. Nothing more.
I see that the stories we have heard vastly differ. That's Hollywood for you. Well, who knows? Maybe Young and Stockdyke will make things even better on this release.
P.S. How did Young bet both Charlotte's Web and Hellraiser I and II on his resume? Talk about wildly different styles!
Sandman, yes. Venom, however, come attached to the alien costume, which everyone is of course a key plot point in this installment.
Doesn't the film have a 300 million dollar budget?

Judging by the trailer, it looks like he is more serious. Yeah, Spidey's sarcasm is definately lacking in the films. But I guess only pre-movie Spiderman fans will realize this.

Yeah, a little more sarcasm from Spider-Man would be nice. They tend to overplay the woe-is-me thing.
True, but the guy's life does kinda suck.
