according to this, if both hary and norma are mention as both the green goblin and hobgoblin, what are the odds? Rhino and electro confirmed, two goons oscorp created and "hired" . Eddy brock doesn't appear as cast so :/

give it a shot man, I think you would enjoy it.

I did end up checking it out and was actually surprised by it. The trailers looked absolutely awful but the film was pretty decent, minus a few ridiculous scenes and the ending. However, I still think it was a mistake to reboot the franchise and not simply start from a later point (what with everyone already being familiar with the origin story).

On one side I'm hoping those lights won't be on the hoodie when seeing those photos. Than it will just look like his skin really is glowing from electricity. And to be honest, I think that's how it'll be because those lights look really odd.

Though after having typed this, it feels stupid to even say it. Like it's obvious those lights won't be seen in the movie, and it's just to create the effect of a glowing skin, haha :p

still no sign or hint of venom :(

Why do you think he'll be in the movie? Venom isn't a character that needs to be a part of Spidey's movies every time :p Now, something that would be more awesome is a Venom stand-alone movie. If they'd put Venom into this series though, they'll have to pull it off way better than in Spider-Man 3, which I bet everyone will agree with. He should be the main villain though so that they can flesh the character out more than in Spider-Man 3. He shouldn't be just a symbiote that drops onto Eddy after having been part of Peter and then wanting to kill Spider-Man. He deserves a more meaningful role in the movies.

Also, it would be too many enemies if they did turn the Osborns into the Goblins. If anything, I bet they're going to setup the 3rd movie with the Osborns at the end of this one.

Yeah using the blue LED's will save a lot of time in post processing anyway, as they will give off a nice blue aura and reflect off other things without needing to do loads of extra effects.

I don't think I'll be seeing this any of the Amazing Spidermans till they actually have Venom/Symbiote Spidey in it. (Cause he's my favourite). Electro looks alright, just wondering how Rhino will look like.

^You're missing out on a lot (backstory, etc) in that case. They might not even put Venom into this series of movies.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Plus it looks more real as well. Less CG is sometimes better and this is a case in point.

That's my point exactly.

Venom in Spiderman 3 sucked balls so hard, they've the potential to make a better venom, to give him a movie just for himself (plus a couple of sideline wackos) as they did in the comics! the real archenemy! (and while we're at it, carnage would be too much :p ?? )

They have to release one every 3 years or they lose the license.

By releasing the same movie every 3 years they will destroy the license anyway. It's probably better to lose it and let someone else exploit it to its full potential.

After the Not So Amazing Spiderman i lost all interest in any new spider man movie. It was basically a cut and paste of Sam Raimi's Spider man. I rarely consider myself robbed after watching a movie even if it is bad but after watching The Not So Amazing Spiderman i really wanted a refund of my time.

i miss the classic spiderman where his 'web' was a special devices that sometimes failed giving a comedy effect.

in recent spiderman the web was a part of himself that always works.

I think you are referring to the trilogy years ago - even then it failed for him when he was stressed out. Remember him falling and hitting a car? Didn't Peter have to build a device in The Amazing Spiderman in order to use a web?

Yes he built his web device in the Amazing Spiderman movie.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By Yogurth · Posted

      The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
