A darkened auditorium with 264 silent people in the seats. on the stage, me, sitting on a stool, lit by a spotlight, the only light in the theatre. I hold up a photo of my cat, ten people applaud, two or three hold up photocopies of the same photo, the rest do nothing, watching, waiting.
God, all that man ever wanted was to put giant spiders in movies. He tried to stick one in a Superman movie written by Kevin Smith, got shelved. He tried to stick one in The Sandman, didn't happen. He never gave up though, the crazy bastard, and in the end, he got his giant fucking spider. I truly hope it was everything he dreamed it would be.
