Spidey looks emo but sounds indie
- Movie Soundtracks -
THE GELLED-HAIR and eyeliner reminded me a lot of the guy from Fall Out Boy. Maybe the producers thought it’s about time to bring some Bruce Wayne-ish darkness into Peter Parker’s character for a change.
Speaking of emo, the soundtrack to the earlier sequel featured a song by Dashboard Confessional. This time around, the “Spider-Man 3″ soundtrack is leaning more towards indie/alternative, with songs by Snow Patrol, The Killers, The Walkmen, Wolfmother, Rogue Wave, etc. Some of the songs can be heard on the official MySpace page.
The latest Spider-Man movie did have the usual ingredients (a Stan Lee cameo, Kirsten Dunst’s irritating screams) but managed a few welcome surprises (great opening chase scene, Bryce Dallas Howard). Makeup aside, Peter Parker’s all-black outfit won’t make him feel out of place with the guys from Interpol.
