New SPIDER-MAN 3 trailer.

Oh holy bejabbers mother of fuck.


And adding to the surrealness of today, Alan Moore to guest-star on THE SIMPSONS

I think it's safe to speculate that if I were to ever become a rock singer, the result would be like some unholy combination of Danny Elfman and Meat Loaf.

Yeah. Yeah, that... that sounds about right. Anyone disagree?



In related news, has anyone picked up Meat's latest album, Bat Out of Hell III? I wonder if I'm the only one who indulges in the total guilty pleasure that is Meat "Those weren't my real tits in FIGHT CLUB" (and that's a real quote) Loaf. And yes, he's a total guilty pleasure. But when he's paired with Jim Steinman, the results are pure over-the-top theatrical frilly-shirt rock-and-roll gold, God help me. There's a reason he's playing Jack Black's father in the Tenacious D movie. Plus, the new album has Queen's Brian May and Nikki Sixx collaborating, so now I'm totally intrigued.

Only about half the songs are actual Jim Steinman songs, including Meat reclaiming the song that was rightfully his to sing in the first place, "It's All Coming Back To Me Now." It amuses me to read him in interviews and get the feeling that he all but wanted to punch Celine Dion for her version. And we also have Meat covering Steinman's "Bad For Good" with Brian May, which will hopefully wash out the horrible memories of Steinman's solo version (plus, it's one of, like, five songs he's written with the line, "God speed, god speed, god speed, speed us away").

Oh Meat Loaf. Such cheesetastic ass-kicking gloriousness. Don't mine me, folks. Leave me to my frilly-shirted shame.


Seriously, though. Danny Elfman and Meat Loaf. The visual alone almost makes me want to go for it.

Because I hate you all, I present to you... Norman Osborn's O-Face.

No, I'm not even kidding. That is exactly what's happening in the comic. God damn you, J. Michael Straczynski.


(randomly, I do wish they had given Willem Dafoe and James Franco the Osborn family hair in the movies. I've actually seen people who have that hair in real life and am both amazed and horrified on those rare occasions, but I doubt the human hand could replicate it. Like water in claymation, it just wouldn't look right.)
