I think they dry in a few hours, turn into dust, and blow away.
Problem solved.

If true, then spiders would need to find another way to catch
prey and survive. And Karen wouldn't have to dust all those high
corners.
Nope, I'm not buying the "not a problem" thing. It's a problem.
Be denialistic all you want. It's the dirty side of herohood and
nobody wants to talk about it.

Real spiders eat their webs. Peter had to devise his own, as well as
the device to launch it (ignored or glossed over in the movie), so I've
always assumed his web-formula was bio-degradable: He needed the webs to
last for an hour or so at most, to hold the bad guys until the cops arrived.

MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE-- this wasn't as good as the original, but is a fine
movie in its own way. Directed by Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs),
and starring Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington (in the Angela Lansbury
and Frank Sinatra roles) I liked the way this was updated, now instead of
the communists being the big evil, it is corporate power/greed. Same
story, different enemy. Both Streep and Washington deliver oscar caliber
performances, and Liev Schrieber (in the other principal role, played by
Laurence Harvey in the original) is also quite good. This movie is quite
appropriate for an election year. It raises the serious question of "to
what extent are we all brainwashed/controlled by the power of big multi
national corporations?

Watched "Hildago" today. I had been wanting to see it ever since I first saw
the previews, but hadn't managed to make it to the theater. But it was quite
good on the small screen. Viggo Mortensen managed to make his character, Frank
T. Hopkins, sympathetic and charismatic, although Hildago, the horse, did
steal the show. :-) It wasn't very original, plot-wise, being a take on the
old-time serials, but it was quite fun. I liked it a lot.

"Don't give up on us baby . . ."
Between that and "Do It", I still howl.

re #199-201: In the comic books, the webs were shot from a mechanical
device that Peter invented, not something that came from his body.
As originally written, those webs did indeed dissolve after a fairly
short time. But since Raimi and the scriptwriters messed with the web
issue for the films perhaps Mary has a point.

For continuity's sake, I stick with the comics. As for what the movie
did, well, that's just their goof.

First, I remember seeing (maybe it was on "The Ghoul") this really horribly
badly made "Dracula versus Frankenstein" movie with Lon Chaney as a pitiful
shell of himself.
Then last summer we had "Freddy versus Jason".
Now soon to be released is AVP. Who is lined up already to see this one? :-)

Aha - made you ask!!! ;-)
Well, the V is obviously Versus. A & P are species known to be harmful to
movie humans in 2 separate horror/action movie series. Can you deduce them?

Saw "Open Water" yesterday.
I thought it was quite good. They did a good job of showing
interaction before and during them getting left behind. I was really
on edge the whole time as this movie really stressed me out! I was
suprised by the ending, and didn't care for it that much, but I'm not
sure how they would have created a good ending for that movie.
