Wow!

What a day Wednesday was! In the morning, NBC.com had a full six-minute excerpt from the upcoming "Spider-Man 3" movie yesterday that was outstanding! The film hits theaters May 4.

Just hit Google.com video and you'll run into a million pirated copies.

In the afternoon, word came that Captain America had been assassinated in his very own comic book! Yikes!

Nobody really dies in comics anymore, but the book was shipped with no warning and caused enough shock to hit the news wires. Art met medium when Marvel.com used its "Daily Bugle" to follow the news:

Captain America

Meanwhile, it looks to be an outstanding summer for movies. "Spider-Man 3" will be followed by "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" on June 15 and "The Simpsons Movie" on July 27.

In case you missed the big "Spider-Man 3" preview, Sony is allowing bloggers to post the following little featurette which gives some insight into the movie. Enjoy!



More later,


Mark

J.K. Simmons has absolutely absolutely NAILED jolly ol' JJJ. I have been reading Spidey since I was 6 or 7 and Simmons portrays Jonah exactly how I've always imagined him. But that is what has made the movie so spectacular: From Tobey Maguire on down, the casting was perfect in the first two movies. Now we're at "3" and you have to wonder: Can James Cromwell pull off Capt. Stacy? How about Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy?

I cannot wait! 53 more days!
