Spiderman 3 mashed records with its opening weekend, but America’s only known living werewolf, George Lucas, was not impressed:

Lucas told me he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light and Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn’t work on was “Spider-Man 3.” What did he think of it?

“It’s silly. It’s a silly movie,” he said. “There just isn’t much there. Once you take it all apart, there’s not much story, is there?”

Well, it’s not “Star Wars.”

“People thought ‘Star Wars’ was silly, too,” he added, with a wink. “But it wasn’t.”

I haven’t even seen Spiderman yet, but the reviews, though mixed, make me think it’s a worthwhile spectacle. More worthwhile than say, ohhhhhhhh, I dunno…

Thought-Spiderman is probably good, but why is Mary Jane such a Fug wench?
