Here’s the article at the Daily Cartoonist:
“Spider-Man” Director Sam Raimi has pulled out of the Spider-Man 4 project and with him goes Tobey Maquire. According to Deadline.com, Sony Pictures has decided to push Spider-Man 4 to a summer 2012 release with a new script and cast centered on Peter Parker back in high school “grappling with extraordinary powers” as a young adult.
I guess this is aimed at getting more “young adults” into the theater. I read “make it more like twilight” when I read the article. Maybe that’s just my opinion. Spider-man 1 and 2 were great achievements in the realm of comic book movie making, then the studio wanted to make it “successful” and “marketable” we got Venom shoehorned into the plot of Spider-man 3, a hokey dance sequence and a giant Sandman.
I hope they take as an example the reboot of Spectacular Spiderman which is amazingly well done and available on DVD now.
Check it out, it’s so good I DVR’d it.
From the desk of Mumblepuss:
Guy tried to off himself by having his very own holiday “teddy bear picnic”. Unfortunately, the bear was shot dead. The guy lived but from all reports tasted like candy. R.I.P. Finn. I hope he was delicious. I’ll pour one out for you, homie.
The man sustained severe head and leg wounds but he is out of danger. Police and zoo officials say there has been an outpouring of public sympathy after the incident – for the bear.
