Italian Spiderman (2007)

Film review #517

Director: Dario Russo

SYNOPSIS: When an asteroid that falls to earth turns out to have the power to clone people, it is stolen from Professor Bernardi by Captain Maximum, who wants to use it to create his own personal army. The world’s only hope, Italian Spiderman, sets out to stop Captain Maximum and save the world before it’s too late...

THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: Italian Spiderman is a 2007 short film, which is a parody of the various knock-offs and copyright-infringing films were made in non-English speaking countries (where the owners of the characters would probably never know the films were made in the pre-internet days). Italian Spiderman is unsurprisingly a parody of Spiderman, and in the opening we see Spiderman playing a poker game and blowing his opponents away with a shotgun, which should give you an idea of how accurate the representation of Spiderman is. The plot of the film concerns an asteroid that falls to Earth and has the power to clone people when exposed to it. This obviously attracts the attention of the evil Captain Maximum, who steals it in order to create an army to take over the world, leaving Italian Spiderman to stop him. The plot would be pretty standard for the type of films it is trying to parody, and leaves scope for all manner of ridiculous setups to occur as Italian Spiderman battles all sorts of traps and villains. Parodying films which are already absurd and ridiculous certainly presents the problem of how you add anything to the original or present it in a different way. Italian Spiderman actually handles this pretty well: it is able to throw in plenty of surprises by adding really ridiculous things out of nowhere, and also throwing just the right amount of self-awareness in to add something new with the parody. With a runtime of just thirty seven minutes, it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, and accomplishes all it can probably do in that time.

Italian Spiderman (he is never just called “spiderman,” as an example of the aforementioned self-awareness the film has), in keeping with the type of film it is parodying, doesn’t look like the typical spider-man nor does he have any of his powers. The rest of the characters fill typical inconsequential roles that nevertheless keep some semblance of structure in the film. The use of practical effects, combined with the obviously misplaced stock footage, make for some humourous setups. I imagine when this was released online in 2007 it would have been quite popular, at a time where these sort of films were just being discovered by English speaking countries. Nowadays it might have less of an impact because the original films are so easily available and just as silly, but still, Italian Spiderman is a smart parody that balances self-awareness with the original absurdity which makes the films it is parodying so infamous. 

Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She has no children, only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams, be sure to never, ever scream or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam.

Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara (2007) Directed By: Koji Sakabe

Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin on the set of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007).

Hello, I want to request Vincent Sinclair and RZ Michael Myers with prompt 8 A/B/O. Thank you in advance

Since you want both characters I'm going to write this as headcanons

“You’re too weak to make a nest.”

Vincent Sinclair

Would be on your ass about making a nest early and then just sit back once you realize you should've prepared sooner like he wanted you too and now you are on the verge of being Heatsick, but your instincts are still screaming at you to nest.

He would, after silently gloating about being right, try to help you with the nest. However you just hiss and snap your teeth at him because your Alpha can't join the nest until you deem it perfect.

At least that's what your hindbrain is screaming at you.

Cue his mother hen instincts and suddenly he's worried and following you around as close as he can.

Rumbling softly in his chest to show he's not a threat, pumping out pheromones to help calm you, and handing you whatever you think you need for the nest to be perfect.

Won't complain much if you end up stealing most of his clothes because now he just wants you in the nest so he can take care of you.

You both end up stressed and he eventually has to wrestle you into the nest to calm you down until you feel a bit better to continue.

Michael Myers

Let's you do your own thing while he watches curiously.

Your Heat was early and now you are verging on getting Heatsick and he's still just watching you.

It reminds him a bit of the little threadbare nests he made while locked away, when he was still young and missed his mom and sister, but grew out of once his Alpha instincts kicked in.

Now he's almost anxious, although you couldn't tell, about joining you in the nest.

All his pent up desires and instincts are in overdrive, finally getting to do what he wants with his Omega without anyone watching or taking notes, and eventually his constant release of pheromones make you too weak to move.

He'll take over at that point, finish the nest the best way he thinks even if it means ripping the curtains off the wall, before bundling you in the nest with him.

A rough raspy purr croaking from him as he waits for you to get some strength before tending to your Heat.

FILMS in 2024: 10 | Once (2007) — dir. John Carney

Vagina Dentata. The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman, the toothed creature, and break her power. The myth springs from a primitive masculine dread of the mysteries of women and sexual union. Fears of weakness, impotence. It is a nightmare image of the power and horror of female sexuality. The myth imagines sexual intercourse as an epic journey that every man must make back to the womb, the dark crucible that hatched him.
