Ill Conceived? Or Pure Evil???


I saw Spiderman 3 last night. Ah, movies. I love movies.

In this film (in case you didn't know) Peter Parker deals with the alien symbiont that changes him into a dark version of himself, and which eventually spawns the entity known as Venom. I love Sam Raimi and trust him - but when he tried to show Parker as the "dark" version of his psyche - why did he have to base him on Chris Gaines??? We may never know. Still a brilliant load of fun, but Garth's alter ego should never be used to template popular comics-based heroes in film. That's my 2 cents worth.
