The stage equivalent of a watermelon to the face.

If you didn’t much care for emo-Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3, it’s looking like the Julie Taymor-directed Spider-Man musical, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark won’t be to your liking. This morning on Good Morning America, Spider-Man/Peter Parking actor Reeve Carney performed the song “Boy Falls from the Sky” which was written by U2’s Bono and The Edge. It sounds a lot like U2’s recent output (i.e. terrible). The production has been plagued with problems and producer Michael Cohl told the New York Times that he’s doubtful he’ll recoup the musical’s $50-60 million budget.
