Woohoo!  One month from today it begins — the popcorn, the ticket lines, the toy tie-ins (my favorite at left), the hamburger commercials ... you can keep Episode II: Attack of the Clones (all right, I'll probably go just to see Yoda in a lightsaber fight); give me Tobey Maguire (outstanding casting) and Kirsten Dunst (hmm, not sure) and Willem Dafoe (remaking the Green Goblin as the Green Power Ranger) and Cliff Robertson (channeling Glenn Ford in Superman I) and a weird 3D-embroidery version of the mask and more special effects and computer graphics than poor Nicholas Hammond could ever dream of in the cheesy '70s TV series and the question everyone is asking: OK, music by Danny Elfman, that's almost a given, but will he and director Sam Raimi do the right thing and also use the theme song?  You're singing it right now, aren't you?  Yes, you are! 8:26:54 AM    commentplace ()
