Wow. Mediocrity reaches a new level.
There's a maxim in certain areas of entertainment:
The more money they throw at a project, the worse it gets.

If Julie Taymor doesn't get the role of the green goblin in the SM myth, and has spider-man singing sappy love songs, then she's missed the boat. Yes, I agree, she must be stopped.

What next: Starring Rosie O'Donnell as Aunt May...?

wow. what's got your panties in a knot?
maybe we gotta call in swiss miss to cut 'em loose

That Gooblin looks like The Grinch on smack-speed.

I think I've seen that Green Goblin costume in a Carmen Miranda musical.

"When the Green Green Goblin goes bob-bob-bobblin' along..."

They should hire me to do a script polish.

Julie Taymor is a genius. Across the Universe is one of the only movie musicals from the past decade that people will be watching 50 years from now.

It is, at times, one of the most visually adept movies ever to grace the screen.

While she might be criticized fairly for an uneven film, even a messy film, if you aren't completely mesmerized by half a dozen of the scenes in AtU you either have no soul or have no comprehension of musical theater. (which pretty much amounts to the same thing)
