On Throwing Blame Around

Professor Boevers has alerted me to this: the heretofore-unimpeachable Julie Taymor has lodged the blame for the failure of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark squarely on the shoulders of tweeters.

Clive Thompson, who I believe is the same admirable wit who logged THIS conversation with a spambot, penned a dramaturgical reply in the article above.

I find this whole affair to be, really, like any train wreck - it's only enjoyable if you are a long distance away. To paraphrase Ben Franklin, "never argue with a twit; passers-by won't be able to tell the difference." But I'd love to know what you guys think about this.
