The much-delayed launch of the Large Hadron Collider has been hit with problems again after a bird dropped a baguette into the system causing it to overheat. The official reason the LHC malfunctioned during tests earlier this week was that it was caused by "a bit of baguette on the busbars" – apparently dropped by a hungry bird. The latest in a long line of malfunctions, including...
As I mentioned way back in the early days of DotGK , when Marvel lost the rights to Doc Savage , fandom lost the chance to see some very cool/interesting/strange team-ups. Like this one from Marvel Two-In-One #21 (August 1976) teaming the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing with our favorite Man of Bronze. Much like Gerry Conway's plot for the Spi der -Man/Doc Savage team-up in Giant-Size Spider-Man #3 (October...
How ’bout a little Scarlet Spider. Oh hell yeah! I’m sorry, but this is just too good not to share (and yes, I realize nothing could have saved the clusterfuck of the last Spider-Man flick). Thanks to Cyberjin for making my day! It takes so little to make me happy. You want me on board for more Spidey flicks, [...]
Remember how everyone hated Spider-Man 3? And by "hated" I mean "saw it enough times to make it the highest-grossing film of 2007, with a worldwide haul of $890 million, easily the best of the trilogy." REMEMBER?? Well, the awful mistakes of that loathed and despised and extraordinarily profitable train ...

Remember, when you order any of these titles, whether here or at your local comic book shop, NOW instead of waiting closer to the release date, you save money AND you save the time of hunting down the issue after it...
A deluge of villains was one problem that deterred Spider-Man 3 from the series’ previous successes. Although three antagonists were no match for Spidey, the audience was waiving the white flag by the third act and fanboys world-wide started to question the film’s director and horror icon Sam Raimi. No doubt that Raimi’s experience on [...]
Ah, it's been too long since Chris Ware wiped the smile off my face. You can see the comic strip he created for the New Yorker here . Via the whole internet. And a few more links: 1. Choose Your Own Adventure parody cover features a lot of great monsters. 2. Photos of the Spider-Man 3 3/4" figures. 3. This year's winner of the Nobel Prize for literature is someone you've never heard of. *Previously:...
There has been about as much speculation about the villains for Spider-Man 4 as there was disagreement with the use of villains in Spider-Man 3 . Would we see one great villain or another parade of bad guys, the sort of thing that helped ruin the last entry in the series. Market Saw cites a source saying we've only got one villain. And that would be good news. Jim Dorey writes that the dynamic in...
So here's some "less is more" comic book flick news* that may make you feel a little better about Spider-Man 4 : Apparently A) there will be only one villain, which would be great, and B) that villain will (finally!) be Curt Connors aka The Lizard. And here's the best part: We don't have to wait for some gimmicky casting ploy, because the franchise already has the excellent Dylan Baker playing...
With weeks of viral marketing and a promotional campaign driven by social networks like Twitter and Facebook behind it, Oren Eli’s Paranormal Activity (Paramount) expanded into just under 2,000 theaters on Friday and successfully took the box office with an estimated $22 million and an astounding cumulative gross of $62.5 million after less than a [...] Related posts: Pirates Breaks Opening Weekend...
To mixed responses Spider-Man 4 is going ahead and now the rumours and hints are starting to come through... It had long been hinted after the end of Spider-Man 3 that the most logical choice for a new villain would be The Lizard, aka Dr. Curt Connors, played by Dylan Baker in the previous installments. Now Baker confirms that he's definitely in the 4 th movie but doesn't know to what extent and whether...
There are some big casting rumors circling two big #4 features in the works: Will Dylan Baker finally have a chance to play the Lizard in Spider-Man 4 ? Looks that way, as during a Q&A for the new horror flick Trick 'R Treat in New York City the other night, Baker said that he'd just gotten a call regarding Spider-Man 4 and that he's definitely onboard for the fourth installment. Of course, considering...

American songwriter VIC MIZZY has died, aged 93.The musician, who worked with Sam Raimi on the outtake music for Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, passed away at his home in...
Somewhere deep in my mind I know that "Spider-Man 3" really wasn't the worst movie I've seen in the last 10 years or so. But it was just about the worst movie-going experience, which for me means pretty much the same thing. Someone of my age should probably just give up on going to midnight movies altogether, but after the magic that was "Spider-Man 2" (still my favorite superhero...
