OOSSSSSSSBBBOOOORRRRRNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *shakes fist*
Honestly the vast majority of my interest in Dark Reign right now is to see Osborn get what's coming to him. My biggest regret is that it won't be his death at the hands of Spider-man.
I will say I do find myself enjoying Spider-man in spite of the One More Day stuff. The mini-stories that have nothing to do with side characters are really interesting and they've captured the feel of Peter Parker and what Spider-Man was like for me as a kid.

after reading this article, i think i'm glad i haven't ready a spidey book since.

After a 10 year absence, I started reading about the time Norman and Aunt May came back from the dead. Yeah, it made me want to give the title up....again....
As the comicbook audience grows older, I understand the need to make comics more adult, but I really want to ask Unofficial Head Writer Brian Bendis why in the hell he feels the need to sex up the Marvel Universe and have everybody fucking every else? It really doesn't make the anything "edgy," but rather comes off like he's living his own superhero fantasies. First we see Luke Cage giving it to a chick in the ass, then She-Hulk reading Tony Stark the riot act about sleeping with every chick he can during a round super-boffing, then this whole Norman knocking up Gwen thing.... Next, he'll probably push for Jack Power to knock up his sister Katie just to bring Power Pack up to speed...

It is one thing to base Fury off of Sam Jackson since you have a business relationship with him, but as far as I know Tommy isn't working with Marvel.

All in all, Tommy is not a bad choice though.

BTW. after a long courship Luke Cage eventually married that chick, and Bendis never confirmed (or denied) that encounter was teh buttsex, people were just speculating based on the chosen position and her face.

Or the very least, be a public service warning to all the sexually active females out there to use birth control or you might get knocked up by a crazy green dude with a psychotic laugh.
Perhaps Marvel missed out on a great product tie in of Green Goblin Condoms?*
*only drawback is that most of the guys who would buy these wouldn't get to use them.

I think the full-body costumes were just to save money on the rest of the film; you can get any stuntman to wear them.

While I completely agree, remember this was the 90s. The things Liefield did to the human body should be illegal.

I also kind of like how he looks like an Under Siege era Tommy Lee Jones. With cornrows, obviously.

Tommy Lee Jones + Joseph Cotton's haircut from The Third Man = perfect Norman imho.
Willem Dafoe, as good as actor he is... not so much.

On one hand I read these growing up and I remember liking them, and I don't think they'll be able to pull it off, so that's one strike against the movie. Next up this movie has been talked about since 2005-2006 and while I forgot about it until now, now that it's brought back up I'm getting all anxious again - that's two. Third, there's John C. Reilly. I'm not saying he's a bad actor - at comedy. But I've never seen him in a dramatic role, so I don't know if he'll be able to pull it off. And finally it's another goddamn vampire movie. I just want to stake them all and get on to the next fad.
But in the movie's favor, it's based on books I liked, and it's got John C. Reilly in it!
Aw Christ, I know I'll probably see it anyway and if I don't like it I'll probably torrent the Riffed version to yell at it. #vampiresassistant

On www.hsx.com it's not trending very well right now and is dropping in prace, at the same time both the $10 call and put options are going up. Basically this means that even the market savvy HSX players can't call this one. Break out the magic 8-ball!
My very vague guess is that it'll open at about 15 million and then curl up and blow away. If I'm wrong, it'll probably totally tank and do 5 mil.
