Keep milking the cow til you see maggots. And, if yer amenable, cook the maggots.

can't believe raimi rebooted this

That Spider-man teaser is like the trailer to some emo body horror flick we're not going to get. David Cronenberg's "The Spider Man."

That Lizard is so ridiculous.

new trailer is up: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/theamazingspiderman/

There are scenes where Andrew Garfield's hair looks totally like something James Franco would rock.

It's called "Spidey-mask hair." or "web-head," if you're punny.

The second movie featured one of my favorite movie shortcut glosses, wherein Dr. Octopus essentially mail orders the components to build a nuclear fusion generator or whatever to be delivered to his secret warehouse in Brooklyn. I genuinely love how comic books never get into where these arch villains and heroes get the raw materials to build their bases, palaces, equipment, etc.

Batman: Logistics & Fulfillment a surprisingly low grosser at the box office.

But those who saw it loved it.

Spider-Man Tony-nominated for playing Biff Loman btw

The director talks about the trailer. A lot.

Spidey angsting over his parents doesn't sound particularly interesting to me.

Spidey's Creek

AS IF Andrew Garfield's crying face could be anywhere near as amazing as Dawson's.

Frankly, this seems more entertaining.

This has been getting fairly good notices, will torrent when the DVD's out.

Meh.

I've learned not to judge movies simply by their trailers, but everything I've seen from this reboot looks absolutely like style over substance (and, frankly, stupid).

It's going to make a ton of money regardless of what I think, but it does look rather heartless and slick. The whole idea of a reboot is so ridiculous when there really isn't much new being added to the story.

false binary, Raimi Spidey was pretty stylish. i don't even know what a "substantial" Spider-Man movie would look like but i'm pretty sure i don't wanna see it.

Any superhero film is going to be stylish, yes, but action clips from this new one closer resemble a video game than anything in a real world setting.

There was a humility/humanity about the first Raimi Spider-man film (and maybe the others) that doesn't appear present anywhere in this one.

this looks to me to be the exact same movie as the first Raimi Spiderman with a prettier Peter Parker

He looks like a special needs David Tennant.

since you already said "I've learned not to judge movies simply by their trailers" i'm not gonna give you the same lecture i gave s1ocki when he whined that the Batman trailer had montages of big setpieces instead of character moments ;)

also it's not like i'm going to bat for this bullshit movie, DJP otm

I'm not as high on the Nolan Batman films as everyone else is. I thought Ledger's "Joker" was ALL-TIME as a complex villain, but the first film and everything else about the second film that wasn't Heath Ledger-related never pulled me in.

if anything, the trailers make me think they got a better handle on the Spidey quips this time around

yeah true. i mean they got emma stone in it so maybe the truth is this is a more overtly comedic spider-man movie.

man I want to talk about that but I am afraid of using my comic book knowledge to accidentally spoil this movie

what I will say is that I wouldn't be at all surprised if this movie wasn't overtly comic

No way does gwen bite it in the first movie. they're gonna build up to that imo, if it happens at all

The next movie will be about her secret affair with the Green Goblin.

the thing that always cracks me up when i see the trailer for this is the shot of peter parker doing sick skateboard tricks. hes brooding, hes hunky, he skates in a hoodie/blazer combo!

lol at djp flexing his special comic book insider knowledge that wow gwen stacy dies in the comix

look, it was just revealed today that like half of ILX had never seen "I am curious (black)!" before, I'm not assuming anything anymore

haha true

Not having read the comics, I had to brush up quickly on who Gwen was in relation to Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Apparently her death was a big deal? I guess so.

But yeah, it would be dumb to kill her in the first film.

i can believe andrew garfield and emma stone pull off affects that tobey maguire and kirsten dunst didn't, but as a die-hard Spidey 3 defender I'm so sick of "well at least this doesn't have a dance sequence" bullshit the new movie can eat a dick regardless.

Peter Parker's a square dork with superhuman agility of course when he goes evil he turns into a dancing fool, GAHHHHHH DAMN YOUR SMALL MINDS

I didn't think Spider-man 3 was particularly bad, but I thought there was just too much going on and it got confusing/laborious.

The Venom storyline was forced on Raimi by Sony, so it seems unfair that he gets the blame for that.

confusing, maybe. but laborious? i'll play piano obnoxiously over that claim.

i didnt have a problem with the dancing or any of the goofy stuff, its just a crummy movie because it doesnt really work dramatically

i think the difference in quality between the 3 raimi flicks is vastly overstated, obviously they're pretty different movies in some ways but as far as actual craft or enjoyment they're even steven imo

but laborious? i'll play piano obnoxiously over that claim.

I probably used that term incorrectly. What I meant to say is that it was a lot more work than the other films for me to keep up with what was happening.
