has anyone thought of editing the entire venom storyline out altogether?
you can still have brock be brock IMO, and you could perhaps tease venom at the end with the meteorite shot in central park?

That would be great, but pretty much impossible since the black spidy suit is such a centrial part of the story. It wouldn't make any sense for the meteorite to appear at the end of the film, when the suit is there from early on in the film.

I would really like to see somebody attempt a good edit of this film, but I am afraid there is not a lot to be done. It was pretty awful and beyond fixing IMHO, but I would love for someone to make me eat my words.
