The trailer was sick. Still can't get over the fact that Sandman's the "real" killer, though. How lame is that.

way to go dude
 

you ruined it before i could see it great job, LOL.

I don't think its lame moreso that its a glitch in the original mythology of Spider-Man. If your familiar with the Black Costume saga in the comics or even the TV show, the Black Costume brought out the evil side of Parker. Thus was the reason that Parker finally went to the church and was able to separte from the symbote with the aid from the church bell.
For the purposes of the movie I beleive that Sam needed something that would push Parker over the edge so Sam decided to make one of the main villains the killer of Uncle Ben. Next Sam wanted to honor Tobey's wishes to have Sandman in a movie so thats how Sandman was even considered. With these elements Parker is thrown into a sense of anger and revenge that will drive me to possible commet an act that he may never forgive himself for.
He will then realize that the symbote has enhanced his dark side as well as therefore he knows that he must separte from it. But low and behold Brock is there and as we all know the symbote finds Brock and bonds with him b/c Brock hates Spidy just as much as the symbote does.

If I've said a lot of stuff that you or anyone else knows already I appologize, but I felt that I needed to provide a little history to make my point.

New Peeks at Spidey and Ghost Rider?

Watch the "Spike TV Video Game Awards" on Wednesday, December 13th at 10 PM EST. time to catch a glimpse at "Ghost Rider" and "Spider-Man 3".

During a commercial for the awards show last night, I saw shots of both GR and SM3 featuring the Rider flinging his chain to something/someone off screen and Harry Osborn/Green Goblin II flying on his glider towards the camera. This could mean we could be getting new looks at both of those films, or looks at their games.

Tune In And Find Out!

i thought Brock hated parker....

I cant believe they have Topher Grace playing Eddie Brock. Not that i dont think he can pull it off, but in the comic, eddie brock is a frigging monster of a man, and topher is, well, gangly.

Brock hates both Parker and Spider-Man if I remeber right, he hates Spider-Man more because Spider-Man screwed-up a big story Brock was about to break it caused Brock to lose his job.

I think Topher is going to pull the charcater off fine, I think he will bring a different aspect to the character of Venom in that by Topher being small and his overall precience on screen I think that he will convey more of the desperite and crazy aspect of Brock's character. After Brock was ruiened he was basiclly a broken man, I think Topher will convey that well with his kinda wieny voice that I've noticed in the trailers as well as the trailer with the glimps at Venom.

Maguire on the Spider-Man 3 Goo
Source: Los Angeles Times December 11, 2006

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tobey Maguire revealed a bit more about Spider-Man 3:

"Basically, there's the goo, right? The symbiote which has, like, a dark energy, like the goo from the thing that creates venom." To someone not totally versant in the Spider-Man mythology, Maguire sounds vaguely demented. He realizes it, laughs and backs up. He's not referring to venom, but Venom, "a very, very popular character from the later Spider-Man comics. He has the same kind of attributes that Spider-Man has, but he's just stronger, faster and more vicious than Spider-Man. And it comes from this goo that comes from outer space, so first the goo comes and gets hold of me."

--------------------------------
So it looks like they are sticking close to the original concept origin of the symbiote as apose to the Ultimate origin. I think it will play out something like in the animated series.

Second off Sandman is a lame villain but Sandman is Tobey's favorite villain plus from a visual stand point he will be awsome. Also he's a villain that would make more sense as Uncle Ben's killer for the movies b/c Sandman is just a tug basiclly and there isn't much complexity to his origin or character as apose to Spidys major villains like The Lizard, not Lizard man, or Doc Ock, or any of the Goblins.
