What else could you buy with $300 million?

The consensus among the general public — at least among the general public in our office — is  that Spiderman 3, all $300 million of it, sucks. Two and a half hours of simpering Tobey, sniveling Kirsten, one good villain  and unremarkable FX. So what we want to know, if you agree with us or even if you don't: How else could that $300 million have been spent? Feeding the hungry? Eradicating disease? Making 30 better movies than Spiderman 3? Your suggestions, please.
