Is it just me, or were Bonesaw's fans mock-sawing their arms
at the same place where Bruce Campbell's character in the Evil
Dead movies lost his arm? I haven't seen those movies, so I'm
not sure, but that would be a good in-joke for a scene with
the director and star of those movies.

There were a couple of other little Sam Raimi cameos in there,
including his brother (Ted?) working at the Bugle, and a very
punked-out Lucy Lawless, talking about guys with 8 arms. I
didn't recognize her until I saw her name at the bottom of
the cast list, though.

Yup. Some of the computer-generated scenes showing Spidey
didn't seem to move quite right, but most of those scenes
looked pretty good.

There was even a very Brin-ish scene in there, when the ordinary
people almost knocked Goblin off his flying wing. Sappy post-9/11
pandering? Probably, but it still felt good. :-)
