Seeing how huge #Spider-Man is now, it’s wild to think back to the different world we lived in in terms of live-action superhero media. The 1977 Spidey series was a huge ratings hit for CBS, but they only produced 13 episodes over 2 years, because it was too expensive, and not enough adults tuned in

A big joy for an old Marvel fan like me watching #Spider-ManBrandNewDay is that it’s a fantastic live-action version of an oversized issue of Marvel Team-Up. Those comics kept Peter front and center, but captured the fun of a big shared universe. *DON’T scroll to the last pic if you’re Spoiler wary*
This is an insane number for a 4th movie in a franchise (9th overall!) without the gimmick of having 3 generations of Spider-Men together on screen like the last film. Never thought we'd be here after Amazing Spider-Man 2 botched it so hard 12 years ago & it seemed over. deadline.com/2026/07/box-...
Post-Supergirl, I can see why DC wouldn't do Booster Gold as a movie, but it's a no-brainer concept for a series. I love James Gunn, but it seems that almost anything he doesn't make himself gets stuck in development, with only Supergirl and Clayface getting greenlit. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
I fully endorse and approve of this casting. Watch out Miss Grey, Samara comin’ for your one eyed man with her diamond encrusted ass. Also, thank fuck it’s not Sydney Sweeney. deadline.com/2026/07/x-me...
The way I would so fucking go to this Halloween at the Palmer house thing if I lived in WA state and wasn’t broke. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...
Bombed at the box office but grossed $1B in my heart 🖤

I feel like Kavinsky’s “Nightcall” and that whole early 2010s synthwave explosion reminded a whole generation that the coolest sound in the world is the sound of the picture below. The sound of an ‘80s that never really existed, except on Trapper Keepers, OP t-shirts, and Friday Night Videos bumpers
When “Drive” came out, I was obsessed with the soundtrack, especially Kavinsky’s “Night Call.” My (younger & far more hip) buddy turned me on to his EP, then I gobbled up his 2013 album OutRun, playing it to death one summer. He was exactly a year younger than me, which is sobering af. RIP Kavinsky😞
This isn’t a spoiler for Brand New Day really, a movie I loved, but how does Peter Parker make money now? He doesn’t seem to have a job outside being Spidey. Like, how does he pay that NYC rent? If Tony left him $$, would he even have access to that post No Way Home? Yes, I’m overthinking nerd shit.
Tom Holland’s Spidey has done what no previous Spider-Man has ever done before (or any previous Batman or Superman actors for that matter) - he’s had 4 good to great solo movies in a row.
