“Spiderman Week” Promotes Some Movie I’ve Never Heard Of

I don’t know if you guys have heard about this, but there’s this little art-house film opening up in about a week called Spiderman 3. Apparently it’s based on a graphic novel, which are becoming more and more popular these days, and the city is kind enough to allow for a week of events to help this low-budget movie get off the ground. Hence, Spiderman Week is coming.

From April 30th to May 6th, there will be all sorts of really cool Spiderman-related events going on around the city. Comic nerds will want to head to the New York Public Library by Bryant Park any time during the week to check out their collection of rare and original copies of Spiderman comics, many of which have never been shown to the public before. Just make sure you wipe that chocolate off your fingers before flipping through the pages.

Kids will have plenty of stuff to keep them occupied, like a mask making workshop at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, a scavenger hunt at the Bronx Zoo, and a photo-op with a 60-foot-tall Spidey at the Sony Building. Bigger kids can scale the climbing wall at the Chelsea Piers or get some Spiderman-themed workout tips from the pros at Crunch, but that sounds a bit less fun than a scavenger hunt, doesn’t it?

In the end, we can only hope that these events help the little movie that could make some money.
