Anyone know what happened to the original Spiderman teaser/trailer that had the jewelry store heist, 'copter getaway, and web slung between the towers of the World Trade Center? It disappeared pretty quick after 9/11.

Annoyed? How about totally pissed-off. I first noticed the give-away trailer format all the way back with "Throw Momma from the Train". There were 3 different commercials they were showing on TV and if you'd seen them all, then you saw almost every physical gag they did in the movie. Very disappointing, particularly as ticket prices keep going up the net effect is we are paying for less and less as the trailers reveal more and more.
The trailer for Hellboy, which I've not seen yet, seems to give a good mix of enticement and still not be a complete give-away. The Hildalgo trailer, however, looks like it shows way too many of the dramatic parts.

Slashdot has never successfully slashdotted Apple; they have more bandwidth than slashdot dreams of. Apple successfully streams realtime full-motion video to tens of thousands of simultaneous viewers a couple of times a year, I think they can handle a few trailer downloads.

At the end of the trailer it opens a browser and connects to http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/. That's a 'feature' I can do without.

First off, I'm a huge fan of the first one, as well as the comics. I'm not trying to incite a flamewar, but...
As was said earlier, the trailer gives away pretty much the whole damn movie! We see the initial backstory, the inner demons, Peter throwing away the spiderman costume, Peter putting it back on... I mean, am I going to have to stop watching trailers soon just so I'll be surprised at the theater?
And second, from the trailer the plot looks almost identical to the first. Evil scientist has a wardrobe malfunction (heh) that turns him crazy, and destroys NYC. Peter wants to be with MJ but has to choose what he really wants (Superman 2, anyone?). Crazy scientist captures MJ, Spiderman has to rescue her.
Or am I missing something?

I think the problem isn't with the animation, but with the goal. Spider-Man moves impossibley fast and ignores some basic physics. I think it is impossible to have a "person" spring 20 feet straight up into the air and not have it look cartooney. If we are going to enjoy the movie, we just have to suspend disbelief and accept that if there were a Spider-Man, then that is how he would move.
