Video: First Clip From ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Is More Like ‘Blasé Peter Parker’
Rendar alerted me to the existence of this clip and told me it was good. I watched it, and asked him why it was good. He then said “well, it wasn’t bad”, to which I agreed. This raised the question, why would The Powers That Be use this clip from The Amazing Spider-Man? Eh!?
Who knows. Hit the jump to check it out.
Video: Drunken Telling of ‘The Death of Superman’ Saga. It’s Lulz, I Swear.
Max Landis dropped a dope movie in Chronicle this past weekend (go see it!), and his drunken ranting recap of the Death of Superman is also tearing across the inter-teats like you wouldn’t fucking believe.
Hit the jump for the madness.
Trailer: ‘The Avengers’ Extended Super Bowl Ad Extends Me Indeed.
There was some soccer game last night or some shit *cough* and I didn’t really watch it or something. However, apparently a really awesome Avengers trailer aired during it that may or may not be capable of cheering up people who rooted for the New Britain Red Coats or whatever.
Hit the jump for the awesome.
OCTOBERFEAST – Danzig
[OCTOBERFEAST is the greatest celebration of the year, a revelry dedicated to pop-culture’s most nutritious Halloween detritus. Plastic screams and artificial sweeteners have never been more bountiful. In the old country, villagers refer to the extended party as Satan’s Snacktime]
The malignant hordes have festered upon the campgrounds, sprawling about in a triumphant display of terror. They take killer rips from gasoline tanks teeming with Mountain Dew. They burning effigies of the Kardashians. They feast upon orange-frosted cupcakes and handfuls of roasted pumpkin seeds.
There is no doubt that the OCTOBERFEAST merrymakers are having the times of their lives.
However, total immersion in the immoral leaves the partygoers defenseless! At this point, virtually every one of `em is pumpkin-drunk and fear-fatigued. What should happen if some Donnie Decency stormed the gates, pamphlets about hygiene and righteousness in hand? Well, we could very well see the dark disciples converted, repurposed for existences without surfeits of sugar and regular poltergeist-attacks.
The horror!
Fortunately, there are those who keep careful watch over the OCTOBERFEAST – after all, the success of any evil entity is contingent upon the strength of its sentries. Voldemort has the Death Eaters. Darth Vader has the Stormtroopers.
Not to be outdone, OCTOBERFEAST has its own last line of defense: Etrigan’s Guild. For the safety of the celebration, the identities of this cacodemonic collective’s members are shrouded, revealed only to the perpetrating do-gooders. But in the spirit of Satan’s Snacktime, tonight the captain of the guild is stepping forward, making his presence known to any considering infiltration.

Brian Wood’s Eco Disaster Comic ‘The Massive’ To Be Ongoing. Pants. Flooding.
With DMZ and Northlanders wrapping up, I was beginning to worry about where I’d get my glorious Brian Wood creator-owned sweetness. He’s doing Conan, it’s going to rock. He’s taking on Wolverine. Doubly dope. But I wanted something of his own, and so when it was made clear that The Massive was going to be a limited, I frowned. I can now unfrown, the pig is now going to be an ongoing.

Robert Rodriguez Talks ‘Sin City 2.’ Money and Script Coming Together. Sure.
When the first Sin City came out, everyone was all “Oh hey sick!, Rodriguez is going to be making a sequel! Totally gnarly.” It was so long ago that gnarly was in fashion. Since then we’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting. While he makes Spy Kids 4D: Jessica Alba’s Stretched Poon.
Well, now it’s really maybe sort of coming. So says Rodriguez.

Jesus Christ I take an evening to actually read comic books and go directly to bed and then I miss this. Hathaway. As Catwoman. After the break.
