with fatherhood comes great responsibility “…The battle between Spider-Man and The Baby Maker was over - and although Spider-Man had prevailed, he would learn soon enough that this victory had come at a cost. A dear cost indeed.

Spidey held the fallen villain, looking down into her throat where he saw the key to restoring the spider-powers that their fight had robbed from him. In fact the battle was not over; there was one final sacrifice before victory could be complete, and - as horrible a solution though it was - there could be no turning back.

She tried to smile, to make the best of it. But their eyes met and she saw the coldness there, the resolve in his heart. And she realized the miserable truth as well.

Spider-Man was going to have to eat her. And then he would eat their baby…”

(Why? Because I find the idea of publicist-sanctioned pictures of new celebrity parents like these to be awkwardly staged and uncomfortably dopey, and twice as bizarre as anything I could make up here. If you’re burning to see the original images of Tobey Maguire, his fiancÃ©e Jennifer Meyer and their new little baby girl Ruby Sweetheart, they can be found here at US Weekly Online.)

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)

10.23.2008What an excellent tribute to the late great movie voiceover guy Don LaFontaine. No need for more words, because the Voice already says it all:See more funny videos at Funny or Die (5)
