The Movie You Have to See

Much, much better than the one that will actually get made:

While watching the production line in Engels’ Manchester plant, Marx gets bitten by a radioactive proletarian and develops the proportionate strength of a malnourished yet plucky East End family, plus the ability to spin Cockney slang out of his ass. He designs an enormous wig and beard to conceal his identity while he fights injustice at the British Museum. These distractions interfere with his ability to be present for von Westphalen’s budding theater career, and his friendship with the young Engels is severely tested after Engels becomes the Green Goblin. Watch for the iconic upside-down kiss where von Westphalen lifts up his mustache, and his later struggle with the “black beard” that threatens to possess him.

    I was reading “A History Of Economic Genius” by Paul Slathern this weekend. My wife was really grossed out by the part about boil on d00d’s tallywacker.

    No – that’s too old school.

    It will be a genetically engineered super-proletarian!

    So, given that you’re reviewing as yet non-existent movies, did you ever actually do that Spidey 3 review or not? Die hards seem to have hated it, but the gen public seems to think its kinda okay.
