The Spider-Man reboot is already filming? Didn't realize that, but just saw pics of
Gwen in a funeral
Curious if they're going to keep the costume the same from the previous movies or make it a bit different.
Anybody know what the story for this reboot is going to be about? Or at least know who the villian is? All I've heard is that Gwen is the love interest instead of Mary Jane.

This was on the Beat but Stee Bunche, former editor for DC and Marvel, wrote the longest review of the Spider-Man musical so far, and says it's a really bad play and musical in general, missing a lot of points. The highlight is the stage set.
Worth a read but filled with spoilers, especially with the reveal that
there is no ending to the show
and Uncle Ben dies this time not by a robber, but because someone stole Flash's car and they run over Uncle Ben. Really?

Thor Movie Poster:
The black/white/red makes it look like a vampire movie.

It's emphasizing the red cape as though it is as iconic to Thor as it is to Superman.
If anything emphasize the hammer and the fact he's the god of thunder and lightning (and it's got a futurish vibe going for it on the corners where it might glow)
I thinks its more a thematic choice, the red and silver colours carried through the whole poster, Marvels icon being the same-ish shade of red. But i'm so glad they kept Mjolnir cuhcnky rather than going with the ultimate axe-like hammer.

I dig the little circuity edging on the hammer. Implies there's more to it than just being a lump of metal on a handle. But as much as I like the colour/contrast on that poster, there's something wrong with the face. I almost feel like they tried to keep some of the blond in his hair, so it's just....slightly off-white, but only the head.

Ya I agree. It seems very unfitting.
BUT it also looks really fucking cool! And when it comes to advertisement, that's what matters. It's really eye catching! I'm trying to picture something more accurate of Thor, like lightning and what-not, but I think that would make it look like a generic fantasy film to those who had no idea who Thor is. So this poster gets two thumbs up from me!

Apparently Bzzd is in Green Lantern because Martin Campbell straight up loves him.
And one of the writers is saying that the bad guy will be compared to Ledgers Joker, which is maybe the most hyperbolic statement from anyone in a while

but if you think parallax is gonna be the second banana villain you are nuts
You just made me imagine Parallax, the yellow impurity, the sentient embodiment of fear, as a big banana with arms and legs, and I had a really happy fifteen seconds. Thank you.

Oh man this sounds like such an epic trainwreck.
I saw it last Thursday.
I... I don't even know how to put into words what I saw. But I can tell you there is an entire musical number devoted to putting shoes on a woman-spider.

I don't even know what it was I saw. The first half was just Spider-Man the movie as though someone who was really drunk caught it on TNT and then proceeded to tell you what they thought happened in it. Then the second half... I don't even know. There's a weird Greek chorus of kids sort of telling the story I guess? but then they are in the story?
I will say though, the costumes, stunts, and set pieces are all absolutely amazing. But the music was meh at best and the story actually made me long for the clarity of purpose found in Spider-Man 3.

So, in the first half of the play it really is just Spider-Man the movie. But then there's also the character Arachnae, who is just the greek myth, and she just hangs around, literally. She doesn't do anything the first act. So the Goblin dies at the end of the first act, which was hilarious because half the people in the theater actually thought the play was over, since it was JUST like the first movie and that's how the movie ended. The second act basically starts with a recap of villians Spider-Man has fought participating in a runway show. Like models. They walked a catwalk. Let that sink in for a second. Kraven, Lizard, Electro, Carnage, Swarm (seriously, how deep did they have to dig for this villian?), and Swiss Miss who others have gone on so much about, all walking a catwalk. Like I said, it was really weird. But again, these are all villians Spider-man has beaten before.
Then we see Peter Parker getting all emo about not making Mary Janes play, and here we just get a recap of Spider-Man 2. He quits being Spider-Man. Now we see Arachne again come down to earth and stage a huge crime wave because apparently Peter got his powers from the spider she sent him. So she robs a shoe store and then there's the aforementioned number about her shoes. It ends with a shoe on each of her eight legs. Seriously, typing this out is making my eyes bleed.
Then she resurrects each of Spider-Mans villians and he has to fight them again. There are huge screens that show Carnage writing "Carnage Rocks" in blood on the pyramids of Giza. And one of them I think destroys the eiffel tower. Maybe Green Goblin? She resurrects him as well.
If you want to know the end, and believe me you don't... just let me know. But seriously, that's the whole thing right there.

I read the ending from that blog. It sounds utterly amazing.
Arachne (who Athena had turned into a spider because she had tried hanging herslef with silk, is turned human once Peter accepts his destiny. Then she's lifted up to heaven by a noose around her neck.
Well regarding the ending to the Spidey musical...
THERE ISN'T ONE. IT LITERALLY JUST STOPS. According to the reviewer that is.
Yeah, pretty much.
Honestly, by that point it just seems like everyone in the production is ready to give up anyway. It's something of a mercy.
Which honestly is not to say I didn't kind of enjoy myself. It really was a visual marvel to be honest. The music wasn't great but it didn't offend the ears at all.

It will probably be awful though!
This episode was pretty dang good
Curious if they're going to keep the costume the same from the previous movies or make it a bit different.

Doubt he's the main villain, though.

Jericho, too. where he earned the name Black Bauer.
Also this: "Batman: Arkham City" Teaser for anyone who hasn't seen it. Pretty psyched for this one.

Oh man this sounds like such an epic trainwreck.
Actually, the villain being compared to Ledger's Joker is Sarsgaard's Hector Hammond. But yeah, Parallax is in the movie too.
but if you think parallax is gonna be the second banana villain you are nuts

Supposedly it has allot of footage from the leaked comic-con trailer, BUT, has some really fancy never before seen Frost Giant action.
Can't wait!
