Doc Ock 23 framesNo real comment about the Spider-Man movie: better than the first one; too much digital stuff that looks fake; really sick of that pretty boy who plays the Green Goblin's son; worried that we'll be seeing that lousy Goblin again in Part 3; ashamed of seeing a movie that has a Burger King tie-in with copycat scenes; thought Alfred Molina was great; wondered why, when that artificial sun sinks into the Hudson, there's no steam. Molina's digital arms hyper-realize the Steve Ditko originals, in the Baudrillardian sense that they're bigger, shiner, and have more moving parts and nasty chattering bits. Nothing beats Steve Ditko Doctor Octopus arms; the animation above is a mere caricature of their primal magic. It's Work in Progress: nine 23 of a projected 37 frames. I'm using the earlier Stick Man vs Lizard Man as a template, and will be updating as frames are added. It's taking frickin' forever.

Doc Ock vs Spider-Man

I bet I like your animation better than I will like the movie if I ever bother to see it.
