Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark

Just look at how horribly camp this video is and you'll get a pretty good idea of why I love this:

Highlights include Camp Gay Green Goblin, Electabuzz *

Plus, it's hilarious to imagine the Sinister Six going downtown and acting all FABULOUS while everyone else screams in terror.

The scary thing: this is the most popular thing on Broadway right now. I had expected it to close after two months.

That was the best thing ever.

Oh, wow...

This comment pretty much sums it up:

But seriously, I love how they characterized the Goblin. He's evil, he's loud, and he's over-the-top. He's every 60's comic book villain cliche put together and it works.

(bursts out laughing) That made my day. xD And I was at the Pokemon Live a long time ago, and that's saying something. Did anyone enjoy the Spider-man musical?

I just can't force myself to like it even for the camp. As someone who knows Broadway performers and has a number of years of theatre experience, I find it terribly frustrating that a crappy show like this gets MILLIONS thrown at it to keep it running until everything works perfectly, while something like Bonnie & Clyde is loved by the general public and insulted and bashed by critics who don't like the guys who made it. It's damn near impossible for a new Broadway show to make it more than a few months unless it has some major backers, with anything new having to basically sell out constantly for anyone to consider keeping it instead of putting an old standby like Jersey Boys or Oklahoma in its place.

Can't get 'em all
