It looks pretty good...but it ain't out in the UK 'til the middle of June.

Any Spider-related thoughts?

I just SAW the Spiderman trailer even, I swear to you that I have not been drinking...Britney has scrambled my brains.

i want to believe but i seriously resent their editing the WTC out of the flick (it was the centerpiece of an entire scene i believe). done in zoolander and others i think. just irritated that ryan adams can put out a video with the towers innit but moviegoers are too sensitive (?) to deal with seeing a couple of buildings. hard to believe. editing the towers out makes people more sensitive to them than they would have been?

unrelated spidey news: times square advertisers are suing sony because they digitally superimposed diff ads over. crux of suit: the ads do not accurately depict the area. um, its a movie about a spider-man.

I just my shoes!

I am awaiting a countdown to Dan's appreciation of (not necessarily in this order) Willem Dafoe's maniacal Green Goblin cackle, how well Sam Raimi passes the Peter Jackson test (ie, come from low-budget horror background to eventually helm a big-ass movie based on a preexisting cultural icon) and Kirsten Dunst in a wet dress.

I just my pants!

I just your Mom!

Its really too bad they did away with the Towers bit because that was the coolest thing about the preview. I mean what are you saying by erasing them from the footage? That we should pretend they were never there?

― bnw, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There is no WTC, there never was a WTC. Orwell comes true in the nuttiest of ways!

Spandex! People looking GOOD in it! (well, one person, who is male, which is quite sufficient). Mwahahahaa! (sorry, had to get that out.)

tobey maguire was something like the movie version of elliot smith for a bit, but then he took a shower.

― keith, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cant wait to see it. Peter Jackson is a huge Sam Raimi fan. Spidey is sooooooooooo cool.

― ducklingmonster, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

remember everyone, we are in anticipation of the prominece of dunst's boobs in the pic!! i expect a full report!!

― Ron, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the time has come for me, as it always does on these threads, to just say how very PUNCHABLE i find Tobey Maguire. you may now resume!

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Has he got proportional spider squishability?

― Pete, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if TM has proportional spidey squishability Pete then he better freakin watch out, is all i can say!

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey! Leave Spidey alone.

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope this is good. The previews (except the WTC one which got shelved--terrible fucking CGI) look really fun and Tobey MacGuire seems perfectly cast as uber-nebbish Peter Parker.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it's OK Jonnie, i am a sensitive animal-wuvver and would not REALLY hurt poor ickle Tobey. i would just shoo him into a pint glass with some newspaper and release him into the garden (or, um, out the window of our 3rd floor flat) to go about his spidey business...

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In otherwards, what Katie is saying is that she doesn't mind Tobey Maguire hanging around her house shooting out spinnerets all day and flying around. Now you may read into this what you will.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This movie is going to be fantastic. It will rival "Blade II" as best movie of the year (at least until "The Two Towers" comes out). I have given up hope on the Star Wars franchise; it will entertain, but it won't be that great.

*stuffs Ned into a pint glass and flings him out the window*

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Gordon Brown has secured the services of Peter Parker - £180m extra for crime fighting.

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*stuffs Ned into a pint glass and flings him out the window*

And what did *I* do, might I ask? *weeps during flight through the air*

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NED is not your SPIDEY SENSE telling you that you have been a Very Bad Man?

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Spidey fights crime for free! Brown musta hired the Punisher! EEK!

― jel --, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But spiders are all bad, if you've seen how hairy and leggy and spindly they can be, therefore Ned's spidey sense says bad is good and Ktee must SQUISH him with her vegan Dr Marten's.

― Graham, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Killing spiders = 7 years bad luck. In 400 years time the spiders will rule over the puny planet earth along with their ant buddies. If Katie kills a spider, I fear for the chain of events that may be set in motion.

― jel --, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but my whole POINT was that i do not kill them, i shoo them into a pint glass and then bung them out the window. there's a spacious ledge there with some weeds where they can shelter from the birds and set up their little spidey homes and everything! i am KIND to spiders! (but not to Ned hahahahahh only joking Ned :))

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, my heart just melted. I wuv spideys too. Though I stil think Ned must be SQUISHED!

― Graham, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Such abuse. I too am kind to spiders and love them daddy longlegs that creep about. I make no apologies for being a bad man, especially to Graham, who foolishly thinks Rainy pays attention to his attempted affections. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

aw Ned. you probably wouldn't fit into a pint glass anyhow. now Mr Maguire on the other hand... i'm sure if we BROKE a few things like legs...

― katie, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I must confess to killing any insect which crosses my path. Well, I mean if they are swift enough to disappear somewhere then fine, but generally I become a monstrous murderer. I also take pleasure in rolling up newspapers to kill flies and the like. If this makes me a bad person then so be it.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But spiders are not insects but arachnids, so you may kill in peace. You murderer, you tyrant.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was about to post to say I don't really want Ned SQUISHED. I just like using the word SQUISHED (SQUISH. SQUISHED. SQUISHED. SQUISHY. SQUISHED. HARD. PARTY.), but after that comment, grrr.
