...named pies ("Baby Screaming its Head Off in the Middle of the Night and Ruining My Life" is another) you come to accept them as a convention this movie seems to require.

"Putting on the makeup and the fangs took four hours," says Grace about his Spider-Man 3 rig. "Then another 45 minutes to put on the suit--and you can't go the bathroom in it, which is a problem they still haven't solved after three of these films...
