I look more rad than Lutheranism

This is one instance where I would happily say

I would, too. But apparently you can't have Gwen Stacy without fridging her eventually. Hell, in that scene, she was even wearing the same outfit from the original comic book. It was always going to happen, and it pisses me off, because I think Emma Stone did a great job as Gwen Stacy and needed to stick around.

I was trying to figure out, from this movie and visual hints dropped in it, who the Sinister Six could be in this iteration of the Spidey universe, and I've come up with The Lizard, The Vulture, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Electro, and Rhino. Which would be pretty decent. And god knows I like Rhys Ifans WAY better as the Lizard than I do as Mycroft on Elementary.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is it spoilery to talk about the making-of special?

Spoilers, I'm in it!

I know a person who's on a commercially available DVD!

Oh, wait, I sleep with a person who's on a commercially available DVD. Sorry, Sunil, you're no longer as cool as I thought you were.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

In a way I'm glad the Spectacular Spider-man cartoon didn't last long enough to reach that point. Though Weisman never said what his plans were on that front, as he responds to questions about the future story lines of any project he's worked on, no matter how unlikely to be revived, with "Spoilers. No comment." So things might have been different.

And I agree wholeheartedly on Emma Stone's Gwen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if anyone was spoiled that it was going to happen this movie by pictures of the outfit being worn.

That'd be impressive.

There have to be comics nerds who were. Nerdery is powerful.

Tim said he thought Harry Osborne looked like a model, while I was retching in the corner. He was greasy and pointy to me. Ick. (It's not *just* the difficulty of following James Franco in that role, but it doesn't help.)

Also wondering if Harry Osborne's assistant (inherited from his evil dad), who happens to be named Felicia, is meant to become Black Cat. Because that has the potential for awesomeness.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Guess who's going to (FINALLY) see Only Lovers Left Alive today?

We saw it today, and OMG I loved it! So so pretty. However the nurse at my appointment was a little concerned that my idea of relaxing and taking it easy was to go see a vampire movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

In seeing the ads, and not knowing the canon well, I thought the trailers were signaling to fandom that they were going to kill Stacy off . So I was not surprised to read the spoilers above.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Also wondering if Harry Osborne's assistant

Haven't seen the movie, but considering Sony's ambitions for the franchise, probably.

Yeah, Harry comes across as totally greasy and sleazy to me based on the previews.
