Why else would we see those old geezers reprising their roles (why can't they just be computer generated images of their young selves) in the new "Star Wars" saga and Ben "freaking" Affleck as The Batman?<br /><br />Luckily for me in this high-tech age, I can always drown my sorrows by watching better versions of my favorite Wall-Crawler like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wrF3g2bcgU" rel="nofollow">Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends</a> (well, better in terms of impacting my childhood) and the best/definitive version of Spidey to date, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSDVGuyfplc" rel="nofollow">The Spectacular Spider-Man.</a>John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
