Someone had to have seen this somewhere in between the design/concept and production stage and said… “let’s see if we can get this into stores before someone notices.” via Robot6

A pan-handler dressed as your friendly neighborhood web crawler got into an altercation with the police. The New York Post has the video (below). Best line from the accompanying story: “A crowd of fellow mascots, including Elmo, Batman and a side-by-side Mickey and Minnie Mouse, also stood watch, their fuzzy mitts held to their giant […]

Looks to be inline with comic book movies of late – lots of explosions, crunching cars and general mayhem.

A University of Pittsburgh student was arrested this early this morning after robbing a convenience store dressed in a Spider-Man costume. By the reports from the local media (see video below), the caper didn’t work out so well for the faux web-head. He was tased by the convenience store clerk and arrested a block away […]

ComicbookMovie.com has posted photos shot of the filming of the next Spider-man movie. Interesting to see the cables and harnesses used.

Student physicists from the University of Leicester have theoretically proven that spider webs, if scaled up in size, could have in fact stopped a runaway train as scene in Spider-Man 2 (see video below to refresh memory). From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: The students determined that a real spider’s web would, in a proportional scenario, […]

Today’s last edition of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man reveals the death of Spider-Man at the hands of the Green Goblin. To be clear, this is a spin off comic much like the story-line of The Amazing Spider-Man in newspapers is different than those in the comic shop. From NPR: But this new, younger Ultimate Spider-Man wasn’t […]

After months of delays and becoming a running joke “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” will finally open tonight. Here’s a run-down of some of the press it’s gettting:

I guess after spending $65 million, the pressure is on to keep the showing going – or in this case – just get the show opened. But as Michael Cavna reports a fifth performer has been reported. This time it’s T.V. Carpio who was injured in a battle scene. She’s out for two weeks.

The reviews keep coming. This time a review in cartoon form by Ward Sutton.

There have been leaked photos of Andrew Garfield dressed up in Spider-Man attire, but today Sony has released an official photo and the title to the next Spider-Man movie due out July 2012. The title is a throwback to the original comic book title, “The Amazing Spider-Man” and the photo clearly shows that in this […]

Washington Post Staff Writer Peter Marks offers a stinging review of the “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” broadway musical. The 8-year-old boys in the audience might be able to key on the Cirque du Soleil-style stunts on wires and video-game graphic elements, and probably not worry too much that “Spider-Man” is a tangle of disjointed […]

I’ve written about the troubles of the Broadway adaptation of Spider-Man before. It’s now fodder for The Onion. A quote from their article: Spider-Man is supposed to swing down to the stage and deactivate a nuclear bomb, but his wires got tangled up, and by the time he got there and remembered the disarm code, […]

The Broadway adaptation of Spider-Man temporary closed yesterday and today after a Spider-Man costumed performer plunged 30 feet into the orchestra pit after a cable snapped. He suffered “a few broken ribs.” The show now has a three part safety procedure before each stunt. Cox told reporters that before each stunt, the operator or stagehand […]
