how about the overly overt stoner pandering, from AOL Time Warner, no less...I was surprised, and a little disappointed...what's the fun of a drug reference if it isn't even vaguely hidden? ("this is the finest weed in the shire"..."look! mushrooms!")
But weren't there complaints about LOTR encouraging children to smoke (tobacco)? Someone posted something about this but I can't find it. Steve, I agree about the Spider-Man trailer--it gave me hope. The digital puppet team has really been studying their Ditko moves. 
Toby McGuire seems right as "Petey"--he looks awfully young, but the strip started when he was still a high school student. I was excited to see that the Green Goblin (inventor of the aerial Segway!!!!) was the villain, but I'm not so sure about that hard-shelled face mask. At the Team Gallery party on New Year's Eve, a drunk guy in his early twenties was loudly asking everyone he met, "Who was Spider-Man's first girlfriend?" like it was the ultimate IQ test question. When I said "Betty Brant" his eyes bugged out. I felt so proud. Back to LOTR and Legolas, a friend of mine noticed that in the scene where the Fellowship is trudging through the deep snow, the Elf is skipping along on the surface. I completely missed it.
