Sony Pictures is currently in the middle of a worldwide orgy of webs and flash bulbs, as a new trailer and teasers for The Amazing Spider-Man were debuted at events in major cities all around the world. I’m going to assume that my invite was lost in the mail, but other more fortunate people were able to see the debut of a brand new 3D trailer that will be showing before the new 3D version of Star Wars: Episode 1 this weekend.

The 3D trailer won’t be available online until Wednesday, so take off those 3D glasses before someone points out how stupid you look. In the meantime, a 2D trailer was released in the wee hours of the morning and it reveals a lot more about the film, like how scary the Lizard looks and whether or not Denis Leary can tackle playing a New York City cop after years of playing a fireman. That guy’s got some serious range.

Between the producers of The Amazing Spider-Man movie, the photographer, the graphic designer, and the entire staff of Entertainment Weekly, you’d think one person would’ve had one friend who’d played a sport ever in his life that could’ve warned them that this picture makes both actors look spazzier than a cross-eyed midget with cerebral palsy. Whatever this sport is, it makes Vampire Scarf Baseball look like a World’s Strongest Man Competition. Anyway, there’s a few more Spider-Man pictures on the following pages to go with the batch from yesterday and… Wait, what’s that?? Uh oh, you guys, I think I hear a knock at the door!

This is part two of Denis Leary Remembers Denis Leary Movies (part one here).  I love these.

“Ice Age: Any animated film, making it can be really boring because you’re just in a recording booth.  I have such severe ADD and I get bored so quickly, that I just count the words and figure out how much I’m getting paid per word.”

Another thing you may not know about Denis Leary is that if you change just one letter of his first and last names you get “Penis Leaky”.   Anyway, I’d love to see every actor do one of these.  Especially someone like Brendan Fraser.  “And here we have The Mummy 7 or some shit – I dunno, I sorta lost count.  See that’s the beauty of The Mummy, man, they’re already dead so it doesn’t matter how many times I kill ‘em.  F-ckin genius, man, I’m telling you.  The well never runs dry.  Plus the broad from craft services makes a mean chicken alfredo.”

Denis Leary is promoting his new book in this video by agreeing to share stories about the films he’s done.

Demolition Man – giant piece of shit.  Wesley Snipes was insane, because he insisted on doing all of his own action stuff.  And then they’d wait until they’d wrapped him, and then they’d have the stunt guy come in and have him redo all the action stuff.  Sylvester Stallone had his own driving range, and a golf pro on set all 17 hours a day while filming.

The Ref – greatest Christmas movie ever made [Editor’s Note: it is pretty solid.].  The studio, which was Disney, wanted Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold to play the married couple.  And that was the day that Ted Demme said, ‘F-ck you’.  [and cast Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis, a wise decision IMHO].

Anyway, it’s a good video and I wish more actors (or what have you) would do stuff like this.  However, Demolition Man a piece of shit?  How dare you, sir.  The three shells?  Murder Death Kill?  Dinners at Taco Bell?  John Spartan??  EDGAR FRIENDLY WE HARDLY KNEW YE!  …Sorry. But I’d rather people insult my dead grandmother than Demolition Man.

This is the teaser trailer for Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (I posted a bootleg version a while back), featuring the lovable Scrat, just tryin to get a nut like the rest of us. Boosh.

Opening July 2009, it features the voices of John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Ray Romano, and Denis Leary. Say what you will about the normal spelling of “Dennis” having an unnecessary “N”, at least it doesn’t look like “Penis”.
