I’m not sure why the Spider-Man movie exists, is it a full reboot less than 10 years after the last one?
Also upsetting, Total Recall might be the first movie to be remade where the original came out in my lifetime

The same reason they are making more 30 for 30. We made a couple good ones, now lets get really rich making shitty ones.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
How old are you? I gotta think there’s been a ton of remakes in the last 20-odd years. Batman, Spider Man, Total Recall, The Departed.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:35 AM
Not nearly as good as Dark Knight Rises or the Avengers was.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
Butters – it has to do with the rights to the character. Sony has some period of time where they have to “do something” with Spiderman or the rights revert to Marvel. Apparently Fox has the same deal with XMen and FF
May 16th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
terrible. Sony knows this movie sucks. why release a 4 minute trailer 1.5 months before the release? Gotta get this, Fantastic 4 and the X-Men back to Marvel Studios.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:37 AM
Forgot to include this in my last post — we’re getting a remake because otherwise the rights would have reverted back to Marvel. Sony needs to keep churning out SM properties or they effectively lose the license. Crazy, right?
To me, it would have made more sense to include him in The Avengers rather than commit to a $250M not many people wanna see. But I don’t know whether that would have fulfilled the terms of the contract.

sophie turner…million dollar body, ten cent face.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
it wasn’t a reboot, it was a prequel. it tried to have continuity with other films, but now there are a ton of plot holes. it was decent.
did ya know that Marvel Studios cannot even use the term “mutant” in their movies?
May 16th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
no…. the Knicks need it to be able to get someone else while keeping Lin
May 16th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
I’m getting sick of super hero movies.
Yeah me too. Although I was never into them in the first place so that might have something to do with it.
Dude from the League is in a few indie movies this summer that look really good. Argo looks fantastic, but after that….I haven’t seen much that I am interested in.

If you define the mafia as traditional Italian gangsters in track suits, then you’re probably gonna have to wait a while. The Sopranos set the bar pretty high.
However, if you’re willing to expand the definition a bit, there are two good-looking crime flicks coming out in the fall: this and this.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Definitely don’t disagree on some points. Yeah, Magneto helped Xavier build Cerebro according to the first movie, oops, the CIA developed it in First Class. But, it was definitely better than the Wolverine movie and the third movie. It was better at parts than the first movie. X2 is still the best of the X-Men movies.

May 16th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
I didn’t think it was that far fetched. It could have easily referred to Magneto helping Charles build the version that’s at the Xavier estate.
May 16th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Having seen the Tobey Maguire’s flicks many times, this is how really I envisioned Peter Parker, skinny, little geeky, just like the comic books. Plus, I believe this flick follows alot of the original Spider-Man concepts..creates his own web shooters. Plus, you gotta love the new Gwen Stacey….Emma Stone

but they changed the origin story. now the spider bite triggers something that has already been implanted in his DNA. i don’t like that at all. they seem to be playing to the newer storyline of his parents being SHIELD agents, which Sony cannot reference anyway, just allude to it.

More of a prequel then a reboot.

I could discuss the first Total Recall at length. One of the greatest examples of 80′s/90′s gratuitousness. Arnold, Sharon, Paul Verhoeven. Fantastic.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
The new Spider Man looks like a video game. That’s going to be its biggest problem. Plus the script is supposedly a mess.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
You have to mention Michael Ironside, you just have to.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
The most Lin can get is about 4 years/$35million – the only question is do the Knicks have to use their MLE to keep him, or does the NBA Players Union win this appeal and he has Early Bird rights which allow the Knicks to pay him without using the MLE.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:03 AM

really, who is that? that is one tremendous toilet.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Yes, but I suspect Spiderman was the only one to make a major ad buy with McPaper’s online properties.

The EDC board ultimately voted to grant 38 Studios $75 million of the $125 million available through the Job Creation Guaranty Program created by the General Assembly in 2010.
Good job Rhode Island – giving 60% of your job creation fund to one company, a video game company founded by Curt Schilling. Looks like extracurricular activities will be cut at Qhahog School District.

No. There’s a video of him from above on the shaft plane (kind of a 3/4 angle) that’s really a joy to watch. It’s a b&w scientificky-looking film.

May 16th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Not very.
I understand Sam Raimi fucked up the TRILOGY LESS THAN 10 YEARS AGO, but there’s no need to make another one with a different actor and story.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Does this only count for non-Xmen movies or something? They use the word mutant all the time in the movies.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
Agreed, it was way too early for them to remake Spider-Man even if Emma Stone is a gargantuan upgrade from snaggletooth Kirsten Dunst.

What a spectacular hiney. Damn.
In other news, that bungee jump video has to be a fake. You can sense water that close, right? Hear it, smell it, etc. Definitely a fake.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
As SEVERAL people have already said, if Sony sits on the rights without making movies they revert to Marvel and suddenly they’re out a billion dollars. Raimi didn’t want to make the fourth one so they rebooted it. It’s a simple business decision.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
I have superhero movie fatigue. And the whole rights/licensing thing is a joke and spits in the face of the fans who bought comic books and action figures, thus enabling the jump into Hollywood. How does Hollywood repay us? By watering down or creating shitty origin stories, awful scripts and dialogue, and stupid plot holes.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Sixteen Candles taught me that extra terrestrials have 4. I really don’t know what to believe.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
I know “SEVERAL people have already said” it. Just because Sony has to churn out a flick doesn’t mean it should.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
ark – I did the Richard Petty Driving School last Saturday at Daytona. I had 8 laps in my own car following an “instructor” that set the pace based on my ability to keep up. it was effing incredible.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Have you ever read a Spiderman comic? Because that’s basically describing the vast majority of them right there.
/and most Marvel comics in general
May 16th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
Sony needs money, Spiderman is low risk-high reward in terms of revenue. should do well overseas, if it doesn’t do that well in the US.
the name recognition alone will get people to the theatres in droves at least on opening weekend, as long as Avengers still isn’t killing all other releases at the time.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
Sony needs Spiderman, MIB3 and Skyfall to be big this year considering how much the rest of the company is struggling currently. The first two Spiderman were also hugely profitable for them.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
In addition to size, toughness and intestinal fortitude you can’t coach a “Listen up you measly peasant. I own your dick and I know it so why don’t you go rub one off cos you ain’t touching this” pose like that. Its either you’re born with the skill set or you’re not.
Ms. Turner appears to be gifted.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
You’re right, they shouldn’t make sure to hold onto the property that has netted them over two billion dollars.

/original TMNT comics were great, from the one or two that i read when i was 10. violent, bloody and awesome.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Jesus christ. I understand the business side of it. It nets assloads of money. That doesn’t mean it’s a good movie. This is the problem with Hollywood. Money > quality. It’s the Michael Bayization of the movie industry.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Yes – apparently only Xmen movies (and thus Fox) can use the “mutant” word. So no Scarlet Witch or someone like that in Avengers if they want to do her complete backstory. Not sure exactly how FF works with the term though
May 16th, 2012 at 9:29 AM

Dunno, needs a faded wrinkled hat and a cigarette.
Now, if you want to talk about dopplegangers, I’m not sure how they got Eddie Van Halen to play the druglord in Raid Redemption.

It opens with virtually no competition. It has GI Joe the week before which will be dead by the second weekend, its bookened by Madagascar and Ice Age by a few weeks, and a Madea movie. It will make shitloads of money for the two weeks before Batman.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Wow, I bet that was sweet. I would have done this stuff when I was in my 20′s, but I’m just too chicken shit now 20 years later. A friend of mine did the ride along at Richmond a couple of years ago, where they gave you like 4 laps, we sat on pit road and watched. He said he couldn’t believe how it seemed like a given they were gonna hit the wall in the corner and then the driver just deftly turned the wheel and sped thru the turn.

I did the Richard Petty Driving School
I did the 2 day Panoz school at Road Atlanta some years ago (I think it’s Skip Barber Racing now). I highly recommend it to everyone.
My shoulders and legs were sore as hell after that second day.
They get you on the skid pad, small slalom course, small road course. The second day is spent racing the big track all day – mostly in the car by yourself. Incredible.

May 16th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Husker – I really liked X-Men: First Class. The casting of young Charles and Erich was a great move. As to Nolan’s Batmans, I think he’s set the bar so high that other superhero movies just can’t touch it. Avengers or First Class were the closest.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Yes, more Scarlet Witch please. And that’s all I have to say about that.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
The third movie was a complete abortion. Brett Ratner is a Michael Bay clone in that they both suck donkey cock yet they still get good work. Wolverine was just all out awful.

May 16th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Donatello is the best Ninja Turtle too so they decide to ruin him by turning him into a girl. Is it because he’s a philosopher? I guess that makes him girly?

I only watched the leaked print without all the finished CGI and saw all I needed to. That movie was god awful. Would like to think that leak cost them around a hundred million, too.

It’s a fun movie and the 2 1/2 hours breezes by. Some cheesy dialogue, but a lot of quips make up for it.
Snow White and The Huntsman has some appeal to me, too. Prometheus is my desire this summer, as much as TDKR.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Avengers was really good. Pretty well written, did what it needed to do, and did it well. Plus they didn’t fuck up the Hulk.

Production budget of $150 million (usually you can double that to equal total budget as fas as PR and Ads go). Worldwide box office take was $373 million. So I hate to say it, but it most likely made them a nice bit of cash when you factor in DVD/Blu-Ray sales.

Prometheus looks fantastic. This summer the movies are seriously a billion times better than last year’s shit shows. Sure, we still get crap like Battleship, but there are 5-8 (depending on taste) really cool-looking flicks coming out.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Oh I know it made money, I mean I’d like to think it cost them a fair amount in box office receipts they would have seen had the leak never come out.

If Lawrie gets more than 2-3 games, it’s pretty dumb. He slammed his helmet on the ground. Last I checked, even top prospects don’t have use of the Force and can’t control where an object bounces after it hits the ground.
Pitch F/X said that ball was about 3/4 of an inch out of the zone so not a totally egregious miss by the umpire. Fernando Rodney has been getting a lot of calls this year though. Just ask Cody Ross.

Oh shit. Strike two called was a full 2 inches out of the zone. Now that’s a bad call. Can see why Lawrie went Hulk there.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Pitch F/X said that ball was about 3/4 of an inch out of the zone so not a totally egregious miss by the umpire.
Was that on the called third strike or the second one? Both looked outside the zone.

I haven’t seen a movie in the theater in a long time, hope to end that streak with Prometheus, which is the only movie I consider a must see this summer. Dark Knight Rises looks good tho, but still skeptical about Hathaway being involved.
May 16th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
They probably made some of that money back with product tie-ins. In addition, usually the Memorial Day weekend movies perform in-line with a $80-$120 mil domestic opening. The international audience will help contribute. Most movies don’t go in the red, b/c of international box offices.

May 16th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
$375M is a shitload to make, even worldwide. It’ll probably make about $140-$160 million stateside, putting $200M+ on the shoulders of the international community. Will Smith is still a big worldwide star but that’s a lot of money for what will almost certainly be a terrible movie.
I guess if you factor in DVD/BD sales and other revenue streams then the movie comes out ahead. But then so does every movie. I can’t imagine this will be profitable in terms of theater gross.
May 16th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
To Men in Black III’s credit, it’s only an hour and forty minutes long. Nice to see someone bucking the trend of every big summer movie being two and a half hours long.

Can’t type numbers or distances correctly. 3/4 of a foot on the 3rd strike. A foot and a third on called strike 2. It’s the red dots that are called strikes. So, 15 inches off the plate for the first pitch that missed and about ~3 inches or so on the called third strike. That called strike for strike 2 isn’t even close. That’s a Tom Glavine strikezone right there.
May 16th, 2012 at 10:04 AM

For some of the people talking movie money, there is often a tier that says the theater gets x% of week one gate, y% of week 2 gate, z% of week 3 gate, etc. The chains get %’s too. The ancillaries make up a large part too. But in 2012, a studio cant complain about piracy, that cat is out of the bag. Protect your property or suffer. I’m not pro-piracy of films but it’s been around for a long time.

You’re probably right, but remember that MiB2 came out two years after the hugely popular original. In other words, there was demand. This is eight years late, following a sequel that was pretty terrible in its own right. I’m just not convinced that anyone wants to see another Men in Black movie, especially if the reviews are crap.
May 16th, 2012 at 10:13 AM

May 16th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
My friends are either Leonardo people or Raphael people (personally, I’m Leo first). They interchange as 1/2 and then Michelangelo is 3rd based on the comedy, and Donatello is a far, far, far fourth. Hell, Splinter and Casey are above Donatello.

Don’t think so. He is as close to a movie star as you can get. In the sense that his movies always does well regardless of quality. His movie does well internationally as well, which is very shocking. One of the big reasons why studios don’t make too many pre-dominately black movies is that they do horrible in international markets. But they love them some will smith overseas.
May 16th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Hancock and I, Robot was kinda bombs. But the former made $625M on a $150M budget, and the latter $347M on $120M. So I guess not.
Ali, ironically enough, is the right answer ($87M on a $120M budget). Probably one of his best movies.

Ali cost over a hundred million to make (HOW?) and lost money.
People that liked Ali didnt want to sit for a 2:40 minute movie. That cuts into screening times and didn’t hit up Will Smith’s wheelhouse (young moviegoers – the MIB crowd). IIRC it was also released mainly on 12/25 in a congested winter, so it really didn’t get any traction or Oscar buzz.
