Tobey McGuire was great, and the subtext of spider powers as teen developmental change was delightful. Willem Defoe gave a pitch-perfect four-color comic performance as Norman Oswald/Green Goblin. Glad to finally find your blog.

By the way, Jews were very involved in the early movie industry as well for much the same reason as their involvement in comic books. Movies were a new media that had no restrictions against Jews unlike other more traditional industries which made it very difficult for Jews to find work.

Now I know why: MAD Magazine.

'We couldn't get into newspaper strips or advertising; ad agencies wouldn't hire a Jew,' explains Al Jaffee. 'One of the reasons we Jews drifted into the comic-book business is that most of the comic-book publishers were Jewish. So there was no discrimination there.'"</i><br /><br />And the next thing you know, there's the idea that comics is a Jewish mafia. They're all Jews, right? (Like the bankers, and the Hollywood producers, etc., etc.) Hooooo boy.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868911400131755249noreply@blogger.com
