Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark: A Meta-Mess

- John's Blog Main Page -: "I've been following the saga of Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark for many years, and I have a lot of friends working on the show. I saw a preview last night, and I commend the producers and everyone involved for boldly taking a risk this large here in the heart of the theatre world. The price they have paid is being beseiged by snarky commenters who seem to be rooting for this show to bomb and become the next Moose Murders or Carrie. I am not a hater; in fact, I love big technological spectacles, and have written about many fine examples of this genre on this blog over the years. I want this show to succeed, but after seeing the preview last night, I'm afraid that it might be too late. I hope I'm wrong.
