I thought the tail of Shin Godzilla was always pretty fuckin' weird looking. Never seemed to be a part of its body.

Well, eventually tricking people, they're paying people to post it initially. Their Facebook outlet seems to the the UniLad page which is a "content provider" web presence company with 17 million followers which is also pimping Baywatch and The Mummy pretty hard.

Don't you tell me my business again.
I'm oddly pessimistic about this Spiderman film and I'm not sure why. I don't like the costume for starters and could do with a little less Stark tech. The action scenes I've seen look the same old same old. From the trailers, I feel like I've seen the whole movie already. Only thing that really caught my attention was Keaton because Keaton is always great.

Holland was pretty great in CW I'll admit but this is the first time I haven't been hyped for a Spiderman movie.

Eh I don't blame you, it's the second reboot in 5 years and they're again going for the "Peter is an awkward kid in high school just trying to figure things out" angle again. I am looking forward to some of the other elements aside from that (new MJ, Keaton, Ganke, integration into the greater MCU hopefully) but there is so much to the Spider-Man story that they just refuse to really utilize.

Also if we flash back to the Uncle Ben death my eyes are going to roll right out of my skull.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I never saw the Amazing Spider-Man movies. I just was largely over it. I keep meaning to getting around to seeing them but there's no sense of urgency to it.

I'm a MCU fan so I'm interested in seeing him fit into the world at large. I'm not too worried about repeating stuff since they seem to have bypassed all the origin stuff pre-Civil War and seem to be deliberately avoiding any of common ground with MJ, Gwen, or the Osbornes. So it seems like they're trying to do something at least a little different. And I enjoyed Holland in Civil War and the stuff I've seen since, so I'm game.

And eventually I'll get around to seeing Garfield's Spider-Man. I guess. I'm sure eventually I'll find some DVD with both movies on sale for $5 or something.

It's okay, Peter's getting a new Uncle Tony.

That's one of the things that has me most interested in Homecoming. I'm very curious what they'll do with the idea of a wiser, sadder Tony acting as a mentor to a new superhero. I can see a lot of mileage in perhaps the most deeply and pervasively flawed Avenger trying to shape a new hero into a better person than he was, teach him to avoid the same mistakes Tony made.

Bud I've got terrible news. Tony is going to be the same wisecracking rear end in a top hat he always is. 95% of his dialogue will be arrogant joking and then he'll stop every once in a while and toss in something profound/emotional. Guarantee you this movie ends with some variant of him saying "That'll do, pig" to Spider-Man after Parker gets cut loose and still managed to beat the Vulture.

Very little, presumably. According to leaks, Stark's only in the movie for about 15 - 20 minutes (though Happy's in it quite a bit more).

I enjoyed both of them. ASM1 more than 2 but I'm way way in the minority on that opinion.

The thing that made it for me was Emma Stone was really good, I liked Garfiled better than Toby and the romance part didn't drag it down for a change. Their relationship and the tension between them generated by Peter being Spiderman felt real and earned. The costume in ASM2 is sheer perfection and that film had some tremendous action sequences amidst an admittedly over convoluted plot. I liked the cast better overall too, right down to the supporting members (Sheen, Field, Leary, Giamatti) and felt they all delivered great performances with a somewhat wobbly script and some janky editing.

ASM1 is my favorite Spiderman movie but I liked IM2 and MoS too so everyone knows I have lovely taste sometimes but I don't think anyone can rightly call Webb's movies absolute poo poo.

I did, mostly for the scene where Spider-Man helps a kid with his science project, the car battery experiments, the best live action costume, and Sally Fields as a loving awesome Aunt May.

Everything else was hit and miss for both films though.
