Spidey Week Has Begun

Spiderman 3

It’s Tuesday and already I’m thinking about the weekend specifically thinking about how incredible Sam Raimi’s third iteration of the Spiderman saga will play out for audiences, the summer and the world. The Spiderman movies just get better. @ was 300% better than the first - and the first was incredible. I’ve had a chance to see about 7 minutes of the film (thank you heroes) and I was floored by many of the shots. So fast, so insane - there was barely enough time for me to wrap my head around how they captured one shot when I was already getting hit with more mind blowing visuals.

The other thing that’s got me is the soundtrack. Seriously, the lineup is amazing (Snow Patrol, The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, and the Flaming Lips) but what’s got me as I listen to the full CD I’m surprised that a band like Black Mountain and the Walkmen got on, I’m thrilled that they did - but this is HUGE for them. Also rounding out the lineup is Rogue Wave and Jason Swartzman (yes, that guy) doing his best Elliott Smith impression (and seriously it’s good) with the help of Kirsten Dunst. Finally a soundtrack that has the same kind of moxie this film should have.

It released today - Get it on iTunes

Update: check out this video from Snow Patrol.. it’s wild.
