I was just rereading the Spider-Man Noir series and hearing that Nicholas Cage doesn't want to hurt people is a little disappointing. In the miniseries he definitely kills people. He shoots them knowing exactly what he's doing. It makes him different from the traditional Spider-Man in a way I definitely enjoy.
Actors no matter how popular, shouldn't be able to convince the director to change the character or story. This typically happens with young inexperienced directors who haven't grown a pair yet & can't stand up to the big star. I remember how Sly Stallone insisted on taking his helmet off in "Judge Dredd", and yet the character in the comic is never shown with his helmet off. In the reboot "Dredd", Karl Urban kept the helmet on the entire film. Karl is a professional.
I am not a fan of sad movies myself, but the Christopher Reeve story is one of hope and perseverance, despite his handicap. I found it incredibly inspirational.
Good talk fellas
Thank you for listening to two old geeks.... hope you get all treats and no tricks this week.
The Spider-Man villain Sandman is going to appear in the new Spider-Man Noir series on Amazon.
I am a big fan of the 1940's the fashion, the music and the cars..... so, I'll have to give Ol Spiderman Noir a chance.

Traci I'm sorry I can't watch movies that are tearjerkers, like the Iron Gian.
