People who are so elitist, that everything just has to be perfect right down to the very last inch. I really hate these people, because they don't appreciate a lot of things, and just make the filmmaker's feel like shit. To them, I have this to say: "What have you done that was so good?"

Two problems:
1) False Choice: There are not two kinds of Spiderman fans, there are tens of thousands. I love Spiderman, and I want to see the character done justice on the big screen.
2) I'm not elitist, and had they, writers, director, marketing, etc., paid a little more attention to the comic books upon which the character was based, the movies would have been even better. I liked Spiderman. I really liked Spiderman 2. I hated Spiderman 3. The thing is, people who aren't lifelong Spiderman fans, such as myself, also think the movie was horrible. It wasn't just bad from an uberfan's perspective, but simply from a moviegoer's perspective. That should give everyone involved pause.
As to what I've done that's so good: I've written 4 books, about 30 short stories and screenplays, over 600 musical compositions, and a daughter. Of course one does not need to make movies in order to judge them, so that's really not relevant.
