Slog - Comments on Is he strong? Listen, bud! He's got radioactive blood. http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/is_he_strong_listen_bud_hes_got_radioact Ain't It Cool News has a link to Michael Chabon's early draft of a screenplay for Spider-Man 2. It's not bad--a little slow--but at least his Spider-Man tries to crack wise, which is something that the movies never really got a handle on. This is also good inspiration for people who are doing Script Frenzy, the write-a-film-script-in-a-month exercise. If Chabon can write a rough script that weighs in at a super-unwieldy 250 pages, 100 pages in a month is no big damn deal at all.
