* hey, that animated Spider-Man movie is a super nice-looking film, and very entertaining. There's probably a limit to which I can get excited about a Spider-Man movie because I'm old and my soul is dead -- I saw The Favourite the same weekend and have thought about that film a whole lot more -- but if all big-audience films were as charming and as clever as that Spider-Man movie was, it would be a better world. What a nice surprise, and it's always nice to be reminded of the power of representation.
