The Peter Principle

From Slate's review of Spider-Man 2: In the first film, Peter's discovery that his teenage body could suddenly shoot white sticky stuff was confusing, but also scary and exhilarating—as it is for so many of us. Now, he discovers that once in a while when there are a lot of other things on his mind, that sticky stuff won't come. In Peter's case, more than self-esteem is at stake: A couple of 30-story plunges to the street are enough to make even the most Olympian superheroic athlete quiver with performance anxiety.

Yes, this amused me. (It's very early.) You can read the rest of the rave here.   And before any of you say it: yes, I've been, argh, "surfing the web."   As have you, evidently....

      Well, I hope it's a good movie.   I was pretty much bored silly by the first one. *shrug*
