Whether you hated or loved Sam Raimi's take on Marvel's Spider-Man, unquestionably one of his biggest deviations from canon was the fact that Parker secreted his webbing from a gland as opposed to constructing a web-shooter. If this recently unearthed, unused teaser for the 2002 film is any indication, it looks like Raimi at least flirted with the idea of holding fast to the web-shooter…

When Sony had said to the world that Sam Raimi and company had given up on the Spider-Man franchise, fans would shed tears as it was announced that it was going the Batman Begins route of rebooting the entire series after only three movies and five years following the previous film. Not only…

Last week, DC announced that they were going to be adapting their underwhelming Metal Men property into a film with Barry…

Prometheus is not an Alien (1979) prequel. I had the misfortune of believing so and I fear others may as well. Now that isn't to say I couldn't differentiate the films less than a quarter of the way through. But, I fear mostly that others may not be able to do the same. Rumors and buzz…

For lack of a better term, the newest trailer for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is well... amazing. Now that more of the visual effects are complete, we finally get a much better look at some of the more intense moments of the film including more of the POV sequences, Spider-Man webslinging around town, and some of the incredible fight scenes (including one that takes place on the ceiling!). The new trailer also…

We talk a lot about Avengers and Dark Knights, but let's not forget we're also getting a freaking Spider-Man movie this summer! What a great year to be a geek! The Marc Webb-directed reboot will see Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) going toe-to-scaly-toe with…

Today we have two brand new posters from Sony Pictures 'The Amazing Spider-Man', directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield as the titular wallcrawler. While the first trailer went a long way towards relieving some of the "anti-reboot" people (and you know who you are), I can't…

Yesterday, Sony held a simulcast event in several cities all over the world to preview their newest trailer for Marc Webb's 'The Amazing Spider-Man.' The early reactions seemed largely positive, but those of us who weren't there would have to wait until the wee small hours of this morning to witness the…

Look out! Look out for this new image of Andrew Garfield in 'The Amazing Spider-Man.' I'm not sure if the web-slinger is engaged in battle or simply doing an awesome, jazz-handy dance move, but what is abundantly clear is that he has lost his mask; a mask that does little to mar his perfectly-coiffed hair.…

It's not always a safe bet that video games based on films are of high quality (in fact making bets in the opposite direction will more often prove wise) but I have to say I am intrigued by the trailer for Activision/Beenox's 'Amazing Spider-Man' game. Forget The Lizard or The Sandman - this time Spider-Man is fighting giant goddamn robots!…

La Grange, Illinois resident George Toman was cleaning out his attic recently when he found a box of old comics he had bought for a few coins back in the 60s. Not knowing what any of the books were worth, he took them to local comic book shop Chimera's Comics. The owners of the shop informed Mr. Toman that one particular book in the box, 'Amazing Fantasy No. 15,' was worth over $10,000. The issue just so happened to be the first appearance of…
