Poster Placement


Adaptation
Just saw The Amazing Spider-Man and I was struck by the prominent poster of Hitchcock's Rear Window in Peter Parker's bedroom. I don't see much of a connection between the two films, except that Peter is a photographer and so is the hero (played by James Stewart) of Rear Window. There's no comparison in quality, BTW. The Amazing Spider-Man is OK but hardly, well, amazing, while Hitchcock's film, of course, is great.
