We haven’t picked on Spidey licensing in what, days? Clearly we’re overdue, and stringer Lisa Sullivan pointed us to this find: Note the prominent, ah, selling points. Follow the original link to see bigger pictures or to get the contact information for Sideshow Collectibles.
Okay, let me get this straight — the Spider-Man movies are silly, but Jar-Jar Binks is a nifty idea? Ohh-kay. Glad we cleared that one up. George Lucas tells Fox News‘ Roger Friedman, regarding Spidey, "It’s a silly movie. There just isn’t much there. Once you take it all apart, there’s not much story, is…
Every so often I come across a question that even I cannot answer. It saddens me to admit this, but there are times when it happens. But now, I have an invaluable resource that I never had before — ComicMix readers. So every once in a while, when we come across a question here that…
Fun picture to brighten up your day: Explanation of sorts here in New York Magazine. But the photo says it all…
Ouch ouch ouch. A brutal recap of the film. Examples: A huge crane swings around, very specifically knocking some floors out of the building where Gwen Stacey has a modeling job.

MT: I enjoyed myself in the theater, although…
After 45 years of Spider-Man and, I dunno, maybe 25 years since Batman became a certifiable nut-job, it is understandable that the question “who is the biggest neurotic in comics?” surfaces from time to time. First, a caveat. I’m only referring to fictional characters. If we add in the real folks, well, there’s a limit…
It’s even more ridiculous, folks. Nikki Finke updates the running tally with the global numbers: Spider-Man 3 has produced the biggest worldwide opening ever with $375 million, upsetting the previous record of $254 mil by Star Wars Episode 3. The overseas estimates from 107 countries total $225 mil; pic was the biggest film debut ever in…
Well, given all those mixed reviews and all that bitchy word-of-mouth, Sony’s Spider-Man 3 managed to only rake in a mere $148,000,000 (estimated) in its premiere North American three day weekend. Which means by the time it’s done, and all the pay-per-view and cable revenue has been added, and all the various DVD incarnations have…
It helps to remember, now that a third Spider-Man epic has arrived to herald the school’s-out season at the box office, that the title character had started out as the comic-book industry’s least likely recruit to the ranks of super-heroism.
