Spider Man Three Coming Soon!

Posted in Movies, Pay Per Post by Elliott Back on July 1st, 2006.

You could either go explore the official site (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/spiderman3/site/), visit IMDB’s listing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413300/), or come check out this post. Together, Spiderman I & II grossed $1,591,000,000 worldwide with a combined budget of $339,000,000. If that isn’t a sucessful franchise, what is? Spiderman III, coming out May 4th, 2007, will break the box office once again. Bet on it!

Here’s a little teaser photo from the official trailer:

If you’re interested in following more about the movie, people have been reporting commando-style from the shooting locations! I can definitely say that I’ll be watching it when it comes out.

Let me know what you think about the Spiderman franchise in the comments, please!

Superman Returns Tomorrow!

Posted in Movies, Pay Per Post by Elliott Back on June 30th, 2006.

So, I’m going to see Superman Returns tomorrow with my sister, and I thought I’d check out the previews, which you can get in HD from Apple’s trailer site: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/supermanreturns/hd/. Starring Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth, the film grossed about $20,000,000 on opening day, neither hot nor cold. The trailer is great, though. Check out this screenshot:

The first trailer is glorified Superman, savior of the earth. A narrator (Kal-el’s father), tells him how good the people of the earth are, if only they had someone to guide them. The visual imagery shows Superman in the adoring gaze of the crowds, basking in the sun’s halo, and with his all-time favorite girl, Lois Lane.

This second photo is from the second trailer–which is more about Superman’s past than anything else. Watching both trailers will probably give you some major spoilers for the movie, but how can you resist?

New Blog: The Gossip Rag

I’d like to proudly introduce the newest member of the blog network, The Gossip Rag:

Julie, who’s been fascinated by celebrities and the gossip about them for a long time, has decided to pick up blogging on this topic. As you know, Americans are generally obsessed with their celebrity heros. While giants like Gawker and Defamer currently dominate the industry, there’s room for a smaller blog to come in, find its niche, and innovate in the market. Julie’s secret weapons are the wit and intelligence she brings to the gossip circle.

The Gossip Rag isn’t about reposting the tired, old news. Rather, it offers a fresh new look at the choices celebrities make. If you’re interested in leaving us a tip, head on over the tips and contributions page!
