    I'd rather see Extreme Makeover - Spiderman Edition.

    They could give him the extra four legs he's always wanted and graft some acting ability onto Kirsten Dunst.

      Graft acting abilities onto Kirsten Dunst? There are two rather large reasons why she was hired for the part, and neither were her acting abilities. Instead they were the show cases of the rain soaked shirt scene of the first movie, and are already firmly grafted into place.

    Is anyone else annoyed by the amount of story that is given away in trailers now? I guess the production companies must have found that these types of trailers are effective in pulling in audiences to see the movie but it seems to detract from the experience.
    Tell me about it. I was all looking forward to seeing The Passion but then <***SPOILER ALERT***> some jackass came up to me on the street and told me about how the main character dies at the end to save humanity. So I told him "hey jackass, thanks for ruining the movie for me. I'm reporting you to the MPAA for pirating the plot and redistributing it to me. I think you owe Mel Gibson an apology and $10." It's just as well that I didn't see it - it sounds like they just ripped off the ending from The Matrix: Revolutions.

    the apprentice is one of the few shows I watch, so I saw the trailer. all of a sudden I jump up and yell HEY, THAT'S DOC OCT!!! Startled GF and we both laughed over it

    heh heh, hadn't even thought about it since the 60's when my dad MADE ME give away my collection when we moved because he didn't want to pay shipping on it with the full sized tractor trailer that moved all our other crap... uh huh, full collection going way back to the 50's, marvel and DC and Mads.. geez....

    that collection would be worth.. a freeking lot right now, that's how much! I would guess well into five maybe even six figures

      The move and the removal of the comic books wasnt due to "shipping". He was trying to turn you from a pansy boy to a man. Unfortunately, due to the avid slashdot reading, he has obviously failed.
