    I've always wondered what happened to Brian May after Queen. Apparently, many, many horrible things. #spiderman

    Brian May needs every last iota of the lifetime free pass I've given him for his work on "Seaside Rendezvous" to get past this one. #spiderman

    It's kinda catchy if you sing it in your head to the "Charles in Charge" music. #spiderman

    update: I just listened to this. wow. just wow. I think theme songs tend to be pretty bad as a general rule, but this is bad on levels I didn't know existed. If there were an afterlife for people who wrote theme-songs (I am not convinced there is), Brian May is going to be completely encased in ice. #spiderman

    1995?! Oh my sweet Lord. An out-of-it rock star trying rap? A sample of ESG's "UFO"? That beat during the... "rap"?

    If you had said 1985, that would have made sense. Ouch. #spiderman

    I'm really curious about its target audience. I can't seem to reconcile "comic-book geeks" and "opera-going people." Is it really just me?

    @Dominus Astra: If it was an opera, I can see that, but it's a broadway musical, which aims for a huge mainstream audience.

    Now ME, I'd prefer an opera. But I'm that kind of geek.

    @Lassus: Yeah, except they're not calling it a musical. They're calling a - I'm not kidding - "circus rock-'n'-roll drama." Oh, and it apparently has little to do with the Raimi movies, which makes sense - why take anything from the most popular version of the character ever?

    Despite coffindodger's bizarre little rant, I would like to see this happen, primarily to see what the music is like.

    @Lassus: Me too. I was thinking we'd get to hear it either way, as maybe they'd release the music to help mitigate the lost funds. But how likely is it there's an release-quality recording of anyone performing the songs at this point? Not. Very.

    We'll wait to see if they can out dance the Peter Parker dance scene in Spider-Man 3.

    Bit of advice to Bono... This time, when Peter does jazz hands, I better fucking see some spirit fingers or I'm walking out.

    If 'save the day' is code for 'cast the script in concrete and chuck it off the Brooklyn Bridge', I'm all for it. Bonus points for turning the Times Square display board into the world's largest bugzapper.

    Nice one Bono. Does that mean it will be incredibly unwatchable and disapear up its own arse during the third act??!! Maybe we could get The Edge in t do all the music. Or at least one rift so we can copy and paste! Oh yeah....and who thinks the new 'Bono' Spiderman will give his spidey mask to the pope at the end of the act. I do! It will end world hunger and bring peace to the universe...includng Mars! Oh and if its going ahead......they MUST use those 3 costumes in the picture!
