WILLEM DAFOE ATTACKS MONEY-MAD HOLLYWOOD

WILLEM DAFOE has hit out at Hollywood's obsession with making money at the expense of great art.
Despite starring in Spider-Man - one of the most commercially lucrative franchises of recent years - Dafoe insists films are too often judged on their box office receipts.
He says, "People get too obsessed with a kind of puritanical thing in our society. If it doesn't make money... it isn't worth anything.
"There's an anti-art thing for us in this country."
