Andrew Garfield stars as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man.

Spider-Man remains one of Marvel’s most enduring creations.  The story of Peter Parker, a nerdy teenager who gets super-powers after a bite from a radioactive spider, fits in the classic Marvel comic book mold of accidents granting super powers.  As it turns out, the latest adventure of Spider-Man is only the first part of a planned reboot trilogy for Peter Parker.  Since debuting on Tuesday, The Amazing Spider-Man has taken in over $58 million at the US box office, and over $108 million worldwide.  The new reboot trilogy will star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey.

“It’s finally here.  The Amazing Spider-Man is the first instalment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero’s journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents,” reads the announcement on Facebook.

The last Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie came out in 2007; less than 5 years later, we’ve got Marc Webb’s reboot version.  While I wasn’t impressed with the reboot Spider-Man trailer, I did enjoy the movie more than I expected.  While it wasn’t the best Spider-Man movie, it was worlds better than it had any right to be.  Still, I worry about Spidey fatigue.  With decades of comics, cartoons, the previous movie trilogy, the current movie trilogy, and the disaster of a Broadway play, will people grow tired of the teenage web slinger, or is a new vision enough to keep Spidey fresh?

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
