Dark Knight isn't until December, I think.
July, I thought. (Pleasepleaseplease.)

Thanks to the x-post, I can say: yay!!!!
But I think you and I are one with the "WTF?! He's a skeevy disco guy? THIS is 'evil Pete'? THIS?!"
Freaking Little Nicky, is what he was.
Also: "PICK A FUCKING VILLAIN! Has the first Batman movie franchise taught you NOTHING?! One villain: Awesome. Two villains: Can still be awesome. THREE VILLAINS: Constructed Entirely of SUCK!"
Well, I do get WHY they needed all 3 -- Goblin!Harry had to be evil so that he could have his Big Redemptive Death. If (in addition to Goblin!Harry) the movie had only Sandman or only Venom, Pete could have dispatched the Big Bad pretty plausibly. But having BOTH made it necessary for newly-good!asspull!Harry to team up with Pete.
But I agree -- I'm not sure that any director could have made it work, which means they should have changed the plot.
Sandman...well, that wasn't so great a story-line, so I don't mind that they wasted it. I DO mind that they wasted my time by including it at all.
The CGI was nifty, and I liked that Sandman wasn't just a one-dimensional baddie. And that's about all I can say about him.
Venom: WAY TO BRING HIM IN TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING, RAIMI!
Not to mention that the symbiote was never named in the movie. Plus -- IT DOESN'T TURN PETE INTO TWO WILD AND CRAZY GUYS!!!! Okay? It's EVIL, not douchey!
Hmph. Still mad about that.
Right there with you.
And the dance scene? And deus ex butler? No no no no no, a thousand times no.
Wasn't the backstory there that Raimi hated Venom and didn't want him in the movie AT ALL, so he made sure that he (a) was in the movie as little as possible and (b) couldn't come back for Spidey 4?
Not that it matters - whatever the meta reasoning, it was still a pretty sucktastic storyline.
"NO NO NO!! That's Ozzy Osbourne! Not [insert name of Iron Man]"
HAH!!!
I'm not incredibly familiar with the source text, but I'm still psyched to see the movie (Iron Man, I mean).
couldn't come back for Spidey 4?
Actually, given the way the comic has dealt with bringing Venom back, it could be done.
Though not by Sam Raimi.

That's insane troll logic, because Venom is TEH AWESOME.
Is there going to be a Spidey 4? Anyone heard anything?

Yeah, but that's true for just about any comic book character who's ever died in any way, isn't it?
Jess, Tilda Swinton made me swoooon in Constantine. Like, dizzy and a little breathless.
And Keanu ... I don't know what it is, but I can watch him in just about anything. And tortured and smoking in a white shirt and tie? Kinks. Bulletproof.

Hell, I'm still expecting them to somehow bring back Barry Allen (if they haven't already).

I believe there is an edict at DC Comics against bringing back Barry Allen except in Elseworlds-type stories.
Miracleman - Spidey 3 took $890m at the box office, so probably close to 2 billion or so with DVD so far. It's absolutely got sequel numbers, but I'm sure there will be agents bartering to hell for more money for all involved.
