I'm not talking about just here, I mean in general.   The movie going population seems to be losing interest in spiderman flicks as time goes on, each one is bringing in less money, in the US, than the one before it.   The reboot didn't make it over $300m when the first one topped $400m at the box office.   This seems to be the trend and I wouldn't be surprised if this sequel does less as well.

I've been thinking the same thing.  To be entirely honest, I don't think what Sony is doing with the Spider-Man movies is all that good.  The Tobey Maguire movies had moments that were VERY campy and I think this turned some people off...  As for the Reboot movies, I find Andrew Garfield very annoying personally (And a lot of people I've talked to agree).  Add to that the unnecessarily changed origin and storylines, and it turned a lot of the fans off as well.  I think that's the risk of changing things around for no reason.

That's a pretty significant tease:

Sony Pictures has released eight more images from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, including one photo that could hint at the villain ? or, rather, villains ? for the third installment of director Marc Webb?s rebooted franchise: the Sinister Six.

In Marvel comics, Doctor Octopus assembled the original Sinister Six ? Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio and Sandman ? to defeat their nemesis Spider-Man. Obviously, the effort failed, but the Sinister Six (or Seven, or Twelve) returned again and again over the decades with an ever-changing roster that has included Hobgoblin, Beetle, Shocker, Chameleon, Lizard and even Venom. The Amazing Spider-Man already boasts Jamie Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as The Rhino, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, so they?re just two members short.

Despite the assault on Oscorp Tower two weeks ago and the revelation that disgruntled Oscorp employee, Dr. Curt Connors, was responsible for the attack, Oscorp?s stock has climbed four points. 

 

Oscorp spokesman Douglas Menken provided some details from the meeting, including that the construction on the prototype alternative energy power plant, complete with hydroelectric tower, is on schedule for completion within the next year. 

 

Other highlights included a preview of a flight harness for the military and significant advancements in robotics by the head of the engineering division, Spencer Smythe.

 

Flight Harness = Vulture?

Tower = Hydro-Man

Spencer = Spider Slayers

To be honest, I don't really care about any of those upcoming Villians. I just want to know when Venom gets here. XD

IF he's going to be part of this film trilogy. If he is, they better make him look the way he should look.

Agreed. Am I the only one who remembers the sneak peak that the director snuck in via twitter? Something about a Canister or something. That Canister supposely carries the Symbiote.

Yeah he snuck a fair few stuff in

The director Tweeted the picture below, a locker numbered 14, with the hashtag #happybirthday, which ComingSoon have pointed out is the locker number at Oscorp where the Venom symbiote is kept in the fan-favourite Ultimate Spider-Man comic-book series.

Just a thought, maybe that's the ending shot of Amazing Spiderman 2. Some guy (maybe Eddie Brock or Flash Thompson) breaks into the Oscorp lab. You see the shadow of him, and he opens the locker. Then you 'll see like the shadow being consumed by the Symbiote.. Ohhh man.. would that be awesome or what.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But the way you want it to go sounds forced and too easy. Like, why is he breaking in? Why does he want to open that locker specifically? Does he know what the stuff in the canister is? I'd much rather see him changing into Venom by accident.

Not sure what you mean by forced. I was just saying it could be a cool ending. It would an ending that teases Venom for The Amazing Spiderman 3. Mind you I just thought it up in like 5 seconds and I don't have a team of writers in the room. 

I mean that it would be too forced as in; Eddie Brock needs to be Venom, lets just have him break in, grab the canister and let him throw the Symbiote on him. I didn't mean you have to have writers in your room. You made it sound like you wanted exactly that to be the ending so I felt like wanting to give my opinion. And you have to agree; having him just breaking in, magically opening the exact locker with the symbiote in it, isn't really exciting at all. It's Eddie Brock, everyone knows by know that he has been Venom. That's why they have to be creative about how to make him Venom in these new movies.

As an ending it could be cool to see Eddy turn into Venom, but it shouldn't be forced like that. I think that making it some kind of an unexpected accident would be nicer.

Bad ass, like he should, not that pansy ass raimi cooked up ( not the actor, the character, I thought the actor wasn't THAT bad ).

So what 'accident' like what happened in Spiderman 3? Maybe there was intel that was leaked through Oscorp, and somehow Brock got his hands on those files? Maybe another company out there knows about the Symbiote as well? So then he sneaks in to get it for the other company to get paid more but instead, the Symbiote takes over while Brock is trying to get it. :P.

That sounds better than your previous idea, but still a bit forced :p

A new viral site tied to "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has leaked hints about the appearance of famed villains Venom and Hobgoblin in the new Spider-Man continuity.

The site is called The Daily Bugle Tumblr and boasts an article by comic character Ned Leeds. The same article mentions fellow comic characters Donald Menken and attorney Anne Weying.

In the comics, both Leeds and Menken tie into the first Hobgoblin storyline. Weying on the other hand is the ex-wife of Eddie Brock, the character who would become Venom.

In the article, it's mentioned that Weying is the defense attorney of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) following events of the first film. Menken is a Oscorp spokesman commenting on the case.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • 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 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.
