You always know when the artistic content of something is going to be mediocre, because they wheel out the big guns – marketing, publicity and the fucking lawyers. Which albums have bloggers been in trouble for promoting this year? Disappointing ones by Willy Mason and the like. Which film gets the full marketing clusterfuck? A mediocre sequel. It’s depressingly uncanny, really it is.

And I’ll thank you for the Spiderman theme.

Incidentally, it seems that Spidey 3 isn’t such a hot movie and yet the soundtrack seems to be quite tasty. Spidey 1 & Spidey 2 had shit soundtracks (the bloke out of Nickelback did the main song on Spidey 2 for gawd’s sake) but were good movies. Much the same thing happened with the Batman movies in the 90s.

You’re right to blame the marketing men. Fleece every penny/cent from the punter…

Probably about as convincing as the vain, self-congratulatory, egotistical old bastard has ever been.

Thanks for the comments on the songs too – when I started writing this post I never realised I was going to be able to shoehorn two such cool tracks into it, but I think they ended up fitting quite well, don’t you?

Thanks so much for The Band and The Rolling Stones…takes me back. Do you know who plays the dead body who is being dressed at the beginning of the movie? Kevin Costner!
