“Whoa, Spidey. Love the new outfit.”

“Oh, I’m sorry - did you have a movie opening next summer, too?”

If you weren’t glued to your browsers last night like seemingly everyone on the Internet was, you haven’t seen the new Spider-Man 3 trailer yet. Either way, take a look at it now and soak up its Spidey-greatness.

Just a few observations:

Sandman = wow.
Black suit Webhead - nice moves, but where’s the part when he dances?
Judging purely from the amount of trailer screentime, it looks like Gwen Stacy’s only in this movie for about 5 minutes. Either that, or Kirsten Dunst has a much better agent than Bryce Dallas Howard does.
Check out how many Raimi-esque POV fast-zoomy shots are in this trailer! It’s as if the studio marketers REALLY want to remind us of the director’s signature style in case we’ve forgotten.
I’m really hoping that they haven’t shown us Sandman’s death here. There’s a shot that suggests it and I’ll be bummed if they’ve already given this away.
Same thing for Harry - can a guy survive a point-blank pumpkin blast to the face? Aren’t these essentially the same bombs we saw incinerate a balcony full of guys in the first movie?

And for fun, here are a handful of nifty Spidey Vs. Sandman Vs. Symbiote screenshots:
well, that's hardly fair.

spins a web, any size.

ooch ouch ah eee oh sticky wha ouch

are you SURE you don't see the train coming?

Go enjoy the trailer again. You’ll be glad you did.

Hey that ain't right.

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
