Yea, there are multiple problems i have with this movie, but probably my biggest gripes is the yet another origin story that by all accounts just echoes the best parts of Raimi's original and the very lame choice of the Lizard but not the comics lizard, the Killer lCroc version. Im ok with the concept of rebooting it,…

Wow. That is simultaneously awesome and terrifying. Solar flare is my greatest fear of Earth extermination, even moreso than giant asteroid or nuclear holocaust.

I'll get back to you as soon as it comes to Netflix. ;)

You might be right about that. It does have a decent rating on RT (although not that much higher than Ted). On the other hand, the only people Ive met or talked to that seem excited for it seem to be hardcore spiderman fans and most of my non-geek friends seem to think this is a sequel with a different actor (they…

Release the caps lock button. This is Io9, not YouTube. Having said that, I agree with your point 100%.

Every review i've read has said it is a massive retread of the original Spiderman even going so far as to call it a feeling of deja vu only with a more dickish Spiderman and a different villain.

Smart does not mean optimistic. Some of us have a more pessimistic view of the future.

You know, i'd rather go the more difficult route of replicated human physiology with technology first (even if it takes decades longer) rather than sawing limbs off brain-dead humans to pare them down to a functioning incubator.

Forgive my lack of astronomical knowledge, but what other heat source keeps the water in liquid form this far away from the Sun? Geothermal heat? Orbital friction?

Did you see the Brown Widow in Venture Brothers (1:23 in the video) voiced by none other than Nathan Fillion?

I want to see a big budget reboot of Spiderman starring this version where he gives the Green Gobbler (that would be a turkey) a mouthful of The Spider's Kiss!

I want a She-Hulk movie. With Gina Carano from Haywire in the lead.

Eh, they'll probably get that hack Pete Wentz!

Lil Romeo?! No. Just no. This here is the only man who should play Black Panther.

All you people who are clamoring that they should "follow the book", have you actually read the book? There are two elements to the book, power suits (which after 3 Iron Man movies are kind of passé now) and an incredibly long and boring advertisement for fascism (and not the tongue-in-cheek parody of it in…

Box Office Mojo predicted a $300 million domestic take. I'd say that is about right. Probably with another 200-300 from overseas.

"looking at pictures of food and ingesting sugar both make you hungry"

You know, I'm still amazed that no one has ever thought to make a Star Trek Porn parody by the name of "Space Seed".

"So there's a period where he's acting out these impulses, he accidentally discovers the symbol he's created that's bigger than him, that can be used for good. It's also important that he started with a heroic impulse, without any power to do anything with it."

Are all of the My Little Pony shorts like this? Because if they're not, can they be? This is awesome! I could watch an entire series of these.
