I have to disagree here. This was one of those things that bugged me (heh).
In the long-shot CG stuff, the head is bobbing all over the place, yet when
they medium shot and close up on the head, everything is well balanced. That
just really irritated me.
Plus the sound effects were nothing more than "wherrr..." "wheeee" and
cables snapping. Hey, wow. Took a genius to come up with that one.

strange? Geez!

certainly rather watch Brisco County.

anyone who points out that spiders aren't bugs will be duly smacked.  ;-)
