Spider-Man 3: The Black Suit Revealed!

2006-02-27T09:22:00.000-05:00

HUGE POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!!

Well, crap.

Yeah, its old news by now, but Sony surprised everyone with the official release of a pic of Spider-Man's black costume from the upcoming Spider-Man 3. See it at the official site HERE.

Its looking like the film will detail his battle with the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), when he aquires a mysterious costume that enhances his powers, but at the cost of his sanity. The suit will end up in the hands of Peter's rival photographer, Eddie Brock (most likely played by Topher Grace, though this has not yet been officially confirmed), leading to the appearance of Venom in Spider-Man 4, which should be out around May 2009.

A few things.

First off, its not the traditional Symbiote Spidey suit. Its the traditional red/blue design, but its straight black with silver webbing. Blargh. After the outstanding job they did bringing the traditional red/blue Spidey suit to the big screen, we don't get to see the alien costume? I'm heartbroken...I really wanted to see that in live action, the red/blue costume is by far the best costume work on a comic based move I've ever seen.

Secondly, no, I have no fucking idea what is reflecting in his eye. Its probably nothing more than a light refraction. People over on the SuperHeroHype! Forums are going insane trying to figure out who is in Spidey's eye piece, since Green Goblin and Doc Ock were both reflected in previous posters. But, lets keep in mind...this is NOT a poster, but a preview image, much like the Spidey squatting on a roof pic we got in Spider-Man 1. So stop zooming, clarifying, and freaking out. Its probably nothing, and if you do find something, its probably going to be Raimi pointing and laughing.

We only have confirmation on THC as the Sandman from the earlier released pic. Topher Grace is only confirmed as in it (though a British tabloid reported he was, indeed, playing Eddie Brock), and James Franco has not yet been revelaed as being either Green or Hobgoblin...in fact, I don't think him being a Goblin has even been stated (correct me if I'm wrong, please?)

You guys who know me should know I'm a huge Spidey fan. Keep your eyes on Spoilery Bits, and I'll put the info up here as I see it. Ciao.

Trigun, Defender of Desert Planet, Takes Metro To Work?

Ananth, one of the creators of one of the best webcomics, period, AppleGeeks, found THIS on the Hot Topic website, listed as a Jacket.

Now, I love Trigun, and it enjoyed a lengthy and successful run on Adult Swim, but the listing makes no mention of the series, or that its more of a costume item, so does Hot Topic know what they're selling? Will I find this in a Hot Topic store? And exactly what quality is it in, since the only other coat like this I've seen is $250+?

The coat is made by RedBalls, who apparently make coats with rock band fashion in mind. Their page for the coat is located HERE. They do sell it as the "Vash The Stampede Coat", but that's the only Trigun mention I see there. They mention they started out making apparel for touring London rock bands, before relocating to Hollywood and going public, so maybe they're trying to bill this as Rocker fashion? Would love to see somebody hit the stage in that sucker.

So if you see anybody on your subway or bus wearing this coat, please get a picture and send it to me at JCBaggee@gmail.com, I'd love to see that and might could be bribed to post it on the site. Just remember, I like money. And Snickers.

First Official X-Men 3 Photos!

USA Today has officially posted the first brand new photos of X-Men 3 in a Flash gallery which can be found HERE.

I must say, I had doubts, but Kelsey Grammar in the Beast make-up is looking good. In fact, I can barely see Kelsey Grammar in there, but damn, they swear its him.

And its hard to believe that's Ben Foster (Spacker Dave from "The Punsiher"), too. My God, what an improvement over the piercings.

Its a shame Hugh still looks the same, and a bigger shame that they can't give Storm a decent hair-do. The black chunks/streaks are as bad as her disappearing accent between the films.

Interestingly enough, the Wolverine caption notes that an X-Men 4 is "unlikely". Is FOX starting to realize that not waiting for Singer was a mistake, or is everyone just tired of this? One more good X-Men wouldn't hurt, and would be worth waiting for Singer to finish up Superman and (if it really happens) Logan's Run, but whats gearing up to be a dissapointing X3 with the rumored deaths of Prof. X and Cyclops could put a complete stop to that.

Britney Spears Marital Woes?! Oh No!

Oh, please. Like we didn't know about this already.

I do, however, love...

"...leaving the dancer to check into the Beverly Hills Hotel."

Mmm, redneck dancer in a Beverley Hills hotel. That's what Weezer's "Beverly Hills" video should have been about.

No, wait. It shouldn't. Because Hugh Hefner could probably still rip Federline apart with his bare hands.

Man Sues Over Cheat Codes

So, this has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever.

According to the article, David Allison, who runs the cheat site Cheat Code Central, is claiming the cheat codes posted on his site were copied directly by CraveOnline, owners of ComingSoon.net and SuperHero Hype!.

No listing of the games were offered up, nor do either sites main pages or forums make any mention of the lawsuit. I'll throw up some more on this when/if I find out.

TV: House 2.08 - "The Mistake" Review

2005-12-01T11:07:00.000-05:00

The TV Guide synopsis says...

Chase misdiagnoses a woman with an ulcer, and flashbacks (told from various points of view) dissect the case as her condition deteriorates. Stacy (Sela Ward) questions him and House about it following the patient's death and prior to a hospital disciplinary hearing. Kayla: Allison Smith. Dr. Ayersman: John Rubinstein.

Ah, what a great episode. There have only been two episodes that stray from the typical "mysterious illness, looks like one thing but really another" format that is, oddly enough, working for the show. The other would be last seasons "Three Stories" (House 1.21),and "The Mistake" is just as good.

Hugh Laurie and Jesse Spencer are in their prime, with Hugh still amazing nearly everyone as bitter, sarcastic, and yet somehow caring Dr. Gregory House, and Spencer getting more fun as Chase. The episode did good to help build emotional tensions as House still deals with Stacy being angry about his snooping in her psych file as a commitee of doctors decide the fate of the two. We get to see a Pulp Fiction-like take on the events, some hilarious acts of revenge from House, and a nice wrap up to another Season 1 episode with Chase's father (though it is sad we won't be seeing Partrick Bauchau anymore), as well as creating some trust issue with Chase and House regarding said father.

All in all, a great episode, though the final scene, revealing that House will be watched for a month by someone he's spent the past few years pissing off, is definatly going to make the next two weeks a long wait before new House.
