Braintrust Question: Spider-Man 3
Every so often I come across a question that even I cannot answer. It saddens me to admit this, but there are times when it happens.
But now, I have an invaluable resource that I never had before — ComicMix readers.
So every once in a while, when we come across a question here that even our crack staff can’t answer, we’re going to throw it out to the floor and ask you, as we know that collectively, you guys are smarter than we are and know many things that we don’t.
So here’s our first question. Take a look at this shot from Spider-Man 3, about four minutes into the film.
See the girl at the far left? You see her on screen for just a few seconds, so it’s tough to tell, but– is that Paris Hilton?
I’m really hoping not, because I really don’t want to have to start covering Paris Hilton stories here…
Please post your answers in comments. Any documentable proof would be nice.
The Three Stooges (in this case, Larry, Moe and Joe De Rita) were very old in 1965 when they made a series of animated cartoons for Cambria Studios. Yesterday, Muller Media, Inc. announced that it had recovered the masters for all 156 cartoons.

The crazier my responsibilities get (yes, I’ve missed posting here as well) and the more I lurch toward the Big 5-0, which I will now commemorate near year’s end without a father and without a best friend, the more I yearn for simpler times. Of course, "simpler" is as relative and subjective a term as they come. In political parlance, it usually means "a time in the hazy past whose values were clearly espoused on fictional TV shows that we can no longer distinguish from reality because they either filmed before we were born or they encompass the way we wish things were or should have been," which explains a lot about our current administration because it’s never a good idea to consciously try to fit reality to fiction, whether you’re talking about Father Knows Best or 1984 or even Star Trek.
