The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - OFFICIAL Trailer - In Theaters May 2014

The Amazing Spider-Man
(Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray / DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy)

The Editorial Review on Amazon says: "It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than himself. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp."

As can be seen in the pic above, Peter Parker/Spider-Man breaks the promise he made to Captain Stacy in the previous movie. 

Spidey battles more than one villain in this movie, so the previews made it look the formation of The Sinister Six, but that might take place in the next movie. In which case, the third installment should be even more exciting. Which is ideal for a movie franchise, to have each sequel be better than the movie that preceded it. 

Without giving away any details, the movie answers a Spidey question that I've always wondered, which is: Why can't more people become Spider-Man? Find out for yourself as Peter Parker delves into family secrets from his past. 

Like the previous film, this one features a cute, tender moment with a little boy. Completely different, but just as poignant. Which clearly demonstrates why Spidey would be a much better baby-sitter than either Batman or The Hulk. Although if I were a kid, I'd definitely want Black Widow or Batgirl. But why not both?

Overall? Fun movie. An action-packed thrill ride. Lots of humor! Which is why this series is such an improvement over the previous one. Part of what makes Spider-Man Spider-Man is his offbeat sense of humor. The Tobey Maguire series had a lot going for it, especially the second installment, but the missing humor created too big a void to go unnoticed. 

Max Dillon: 

You're Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: 

Costume gives it away, huh? 

Harry Osborn: 

It's been 10 years. 

What have you been up to?

Peter Parker: 

I do some web designs.

Aunt May: 

I've been doing your laundry 

since you were six years old.

Peter Parker: 

I understand that. 

I'm in college now. 

I think it's time I took care of my own dirty underwear.

Aunt May: 

Last time you did it, 

you turned everything blue and red, so no.

Peter Parker: 

That was a mistake. 

Because I washing the American flag. 

Spider-Man: 

[Greeting Electro] 

Yo, Sparkles!

Electro: 

You're too late, Spider-Man. 

I designed this power grid. 

Now I'm gonna take back what is rightfully mine. 

I will control everything. 

And I will be like a god to them.

Spider-Man: 

A god named Sparkles?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Action. Adventure. Romance. Suspense. Humor. Fantasy. Fun. All combine to make an exciting movie. However, having said all that, I must disclose something else, which I do down below in the Spoiler Alert section.

All The Best,

Spoiler Alert: 

I admit it: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 traumatized my inner child. I still enjoyed the movie. Immensely. But still, my inner child may never be the same. I could see the inevitable coming too. Because Gwen's valedictorian speech spoke so much about the brevity of life, that certainly foreshadowed what happened. Her dad's ghost glaring at Spider-Man so much gave big clues too. But this was a movie; not the comic book, so I thought she might still survive, if only for the sake of how much Hollywood loves a happy ending. But the clincher came, when Peter Parker agreed to move to London to be with her. He can't move out of New York City! So movie version or not, bye-bye Gwen! 

I liked the comic book version better as far as the drastic change in Spider-Man's reaction goes. He's so thrilled with himself thinking he succeeded, but then sadly, he slowly realizes he didn't. I mean, wow! Makes his sorrow and heartache that much worse. There's a hint of that in the movie, but not with the verbal accolades the comic book hero gives himself, until he realizes ... 

From Amazing Spider-Man # 121:

But, oh my, Andrew Garfield's brilliant acting brings that moment to life! Just looking at these pics deeply disturbs my inner child: 

The following, intriguing book explains the science of what happened to Gwen Stacy in the comic book version; and according to the author, it was Spider-Man's fault! (The "SNAP!" sound gives a big clue.)

Some Heroes 
Never Get Any Breaks

by
Dean Burkey

When a superhero’s super popular, he doesn’t get a break. 

When I was a kid, Spider-Man used to be in four different comic books a month: The Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Team-Up, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and The Web of Spider-Man. 

That’s not counting guest appearances and crossovers with other heroes. 

Even heroes from other companies! 

Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man

Constantly fighting super-villains and other illustrious psychos bent on taking over the world. 

But a lesser known hero, like Boll-Weevil Boy, might stop a mugger or purse snatcher every other decade or so. 

And maybe thwart an embezzler every other blue moon or two too. 

All The Best,

Dean Burkey

How The Amazing Spider-Man Should Have Ended

How It Should Have Ended

Author Unknown: 
(From: http://www.jokes4us.com/peoplejokes/comicbookjokes/spidermanjokes.html)
Q: Why did Spiderman flush the toilet? 
A: Because it was his duty! 

Mitch Hedberg: 
That'd be cool if Spider-Man 
hot hammocks instead of webs. 
You're not a criminal, 
but you do need to relax. 
Fwsht! 
Now go find two trees 
that are close together."

Dean Burkey: 
How is Emma Stone not the perfect woman? 
She’s Spider-Man’s girlfriend; 
she’s gorgeous; funny; ... 
and when the need arises, 
she can blast marauding zombies to smithereens.

Mitch Hedberg: 
If Spiderman was real; and I was a criminal; 
and he shot me with his web, I would say, 
“Dude, thanks for the hammock.” 

Dean Burkey: 
I think Spider-Man’s in love.  
Does that mean we may soon 
be hearing webbing bells?

The Columbian Oregano Express

The Columbian Oregano Express

by
Dean Burkey

I read an article in an underground newspaper, 

The Blunt Perspective, 

that said how cannabis can 

expand a person’s mind. 

It’s not like I have a little brain, 

but I figured expanding my thinking 

would expand my writing; 
and I’ll do almost anything 
to write a cool story. 

So I ventured to the seedy side of town, 

shortly after the sun set down, 

and started to shop around. 

Unfortunately, or fortunately, 

but played out unfortunately in this situation, 

I have an angelic face. 

Which doesn’t sound bad, 

except the pushers, 

ahem, I mean, the agricultural entrepreneurs 

automatically thought I was an undercover cop. 

Which I think is silly. 

Why would anyone want to be an undercover cop? 

Wouldn’t sleeping on your badge hurt! 

Might even puncture an artery. 

Or worse! 

Roll over the wrong way; 
and you could wake up singing soprano. 

That would also ruin the sheets. 

Even if Tide® does remove blood stains. 

To prove I wasn’t a police officer; 
and as a way of bonding 
with the underbelly of the crime world, 

I broke the law in front of them. 

Twice!

Oh yeah, 
I’m such a rebel, 

I jaywalked across the street and back again. 

All the while singing, 
Born to Be Wild. 

Apparently, that wasn’t enough to convince them, 

so I had to strip down to my Spider-Man Underoos® 

to prove I wasn’t wearing a wire. 

Finally, they agreed to sell me 

some horticultural substances. 

A little bag cost me four hundred dollars. 

But I knew that the experience 

of expanding my consciousness 

would make me more money than that 

by inspiring me to write a cool story. 

I’m quite polite, so I said thanks. 

Even though I felt sure he was ripping me off. 

I should’ve Googled street prices 

before I went shopping. 

But I usually buy everything at Walmart anyway, 

so I never have to compare prices; 

I always know I’m getting a great deal. 

The drug lord nodded and said, 

“Uh-huh. Yeah, right. And remember kid, 

if you get stopped by the cops, 

just tell ‘em it’s for medicinal purposes. 

And if they don’t buy that, 

say it’s Columbian oregano.” 

Columbian oregano? 

Ha! That’s a good one. 

I chuckled and dashed home to try out 

my new “nutritional supplements”, 

a.k.a. “brain food”, 

a.k.a. “comedy writer’s fuel”. 

I didn’t have any rolling papers. 

And I don’t smoke anyway. 

But I remember hearing about folks 

who lace their brownies with pot. 

So I made a batch of brownies; 

and using angel hair pasta noodles 

and a suture needle, 

I laced the oregano into the brownies. 

Laced? 

More like knitted. 

And, as always, 

I spread peanut butter on the brownies too. 

I ate the whole batch! 

Must be the result of getting those munchies 

I’ve heard so much about. 

So I figured out how to get high 

and treat the munchies at the same time. 

What a marvelous way to multi-task! 

Within a few minutes, 

I felt woozy. 

As the room spun like a freaky kaleidoscope, 

I felt like I was about to hit an iceberg and capsize. 

Had I made a titanic mistake? 

But then, 

instead of sinking, 

I started to fly super high. 

Immediately, 

I called my ex-girlfriend and proposed. 

Wow! 
This is strong stuff.
(I’d never call her if I wasn’t flying so high.)

Just before I jumped out the kitchen window, 

I got the idea that backpacking with Bigfoot 

would be funny. 

Especially in the Bahamas! 

(See my previous post: 

Backpacking with Bigfoot in the Bahamas.) 

Yes! It worked! My mind expanded! 
I had to widen my cap by two notches. 

And I began to write a series of crazy adventures. 

Oddly, mostly involving Bigfoot. 

(See my previous posts: Canoeing with Sharks, 

Crab Cakes Gone Wild, 

and Getting Messy with Nessie.) 

And, to be true to the stoner frame of mind, 

I blared the radio station that plays classic rock. 

I typed story after story. 

Until suddenly, … 

a loud forceful knocking pounded on my door. 

Oh no! Gulp! 

Was Bigfoot expecting royalties 

for my using his name and likeness in my stories? 

After crawling to the door, 

to keep from falling over 

as the room spun with increasing speed, 

I grabbed the door knob, 

pulled myself up, 

and opened the door. 

Oh good, 
it wasn’t Bigfoot after all. 

It was the cops, 

answering neighborhood complaints. 

Not about the volume of the music, but the genre. 
Apparently, my neighbors don’t enjoy 

psychedelic music. 

Spoil sports. 

Oh bad, 
it wasn’t Bigfoot after all. 

It was the cops! 

To Be Continued! 

All The Best,

Dean Burkey

Woody Allen: 
Ya’ know I took a puff of the wrong cigarette 
at a fraternity dance once; 
and the cops had to get me, ya’ know. 
I broke two teeth trying to give a hickey 
to the Statue of Liberty.

Richard Pryor: 
I’m not addicted to cocaine. 
I just like the way it smells. 

Dean Burkey: 
Legalize medical marijuana? 
And then what? 
Convince your doctor you need it? 
“Doctor, you’ve got to help me. 
I’ve overwhelmed by too much reality.” 
“Listen Doc, somehow I lost my appetite. 
You need to prescribe me a nickel bag 
and a couple roach clips.” 
“Hey dude, I have to write another rock song, 
so I need you to refill my prescription.” 

Ray Divine: 
They’ll make marijuana illegal; 
and yet legalize all those prescription drugs 
you see advertised on TV? 
How can that be? 
Have you heard some of their side effects? 
Heart attack, death, thoughts of suicide. 
Pot never causes anything that bad. 
How can you compare 
heart attacks, deaths, and thoughts of suicide 
with a mellow, happy attitude 
and a hearty case of the munchies? 

Mitch Hedberg: 
When we were on acid, 
we would go into the woods, 
because there was less chance 
that you would run into an authority figure. 
But we ran into a bear. 
My friend Duane was there, 
raising his right hand, 
swearing to help prevent forest fires. 
He told me, “Mitchell, 
Smokey is way more intense in person!”
