They have a mobile security check. Have you set that up?

At one point but not sure if it was my new number or old number.
If it's old number there's no other way to login?

I want to say not another Spiderman movie but it looks cool.

I trust Marvel to make it good enough to watch. Just the opening scene of the trailer already has the true Spiderman vibe.

Why? Most Marvel movies are shit.

Disagree. They've all been very enjoyable. Not Oscar winning films but much better than the DC trash (apart from Nolans Batman).

Two days til voting opens for Hottest 100. Anyone got some shortlists going? Probably bok_party, BluesMan, StevieDewar... maybe chef?

I liked the original Spider-Man movies 1-3, Toby McGuire, although awkward was a good Peter Parker.

The Amazing Spider-Man movies were good too, just didn't really think Garfield was the right guy though.

The trailer for this new one looks decent, hopefully it delivers, been quite a few Spider-Man films lately.

I thought Garfield nailed Spider-Man's tongue in cheek humour.

Greatest electronic/dance band ever.

Im partial to Daft Punk on that one. I do like Prodigy though.

Another Spider-Man. Just how many of them must we have. Hopefully this is now the only Spidey franchise moving forward. Trailer looks alright but i'm a bit spidermanned out if im honest.

Yep, I'm suffering Marvel/DC fatigue. Just too saturated with the same sort of superhero movies. Haven't watched one for a while.

Sometimes less is more.

All mindless drivel

I'll do a short list but hardly any of my songs will get in. Always the way.

I dont get excited by the hottest 100 like i used to.

What vibe exactly do you mean?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

The overrated shitty vibe that most spiderman films have?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Lmao!

 

[bok_party]

Just the sarcastic and playful tone that Spiderman has in the comics even though he's in danger or fighting villains. The Garfield Spiderman was like that but could have been moreso while Tobey's never really had that. This feels like the perfect blend.

yeah I had about 20 a couple weeks ago now its about 12. Wasn't the best year looking back, I feel this year ive got so many even songs to pick from but none that standout and are easy picks.

Albums wise for me (Not that I listened to a tonne):

22, A Million - Bon Iver
Goodness - The Hotelier
My Woman - Angel Olsen
Freetown Sound - Blood Orange

Lmao!

Is the guy still shitty that Trump didn't give him a job after he so publicly fellated him?

This one is more in line with the Marvel universe as opposed to just being a franchise on its own.

I acknowledge that it is a little too soon, but well... I think this one has real potential. From what we've seen so far, Holland's got the nerdy look of Maguire and the wit of Garfield (seriously, it's like they switched Parker and Osbourne around for the rebooted series), and combined with the clear Avengers edge with Tony Stark present, and I think we've got a nice new angle.

There certainly does seem to be a lot of Superhero films of late, but it just feels like everyone is just riding on Marvel's set to success, (or in some cases, just making a film just to keep the rights... Fantastic 4 was very poorly handled). For me, personally, I don't even bother with DC or the Marvel ones made by Sony or Fox (Never got into X-Men at all, did the Dark Knight trilogy just on reputation, had no interest in BVS nor Suicide Squad at all when announced.)

One interesting to note about Marvel's series is just well, how varied its heroes and the feel of each hero is. Finally got the chance to see Doctor Strange, and I think it's one of the best ones (Cucumber Man may have been the safe choice, but hot dog, he did a fantastic job). All of the Marvel films have their own character, and it is refreshing to see some really unique hero choices get a run in rather than the 'same old, same old,' and that's why Marvel have done it well, we are getting some new material and even when we're doing the origin stories, there's a unique factor about them (the way Marvel handled one of its most powerful characters, and just the manner in what was actually done for the power progression and it ended, that is certainly very unique.)

I think the big question is what will happen after the Avengers 3... there is a lot planned to get there, and you feel that there is one big payout there, but what happens after will be a big mystery, because I don't know how you would top that. But for now, I guess we're still on that ride.

Cooldude, Conan in Berlin was class - did lol a lot.

Spiderman film looks OK, is Mary Jane now black? Or is that not Mary Jane?
