If plans for Sony’s live-action universe don’t pan out the way that they want, then they can always fall back on an animated one. I may have my reservations about Venom, but I’m totally stoked for Spider-Verse. The animation is gorgeous, the humor is clever, the dialogue seems sharp, and I’m sure there will be plenty of Easter Eggs and cameos – you can even spot Insomniac’s now-iconic white spider suit in the trailer – for fans to find. I may not be familiar with directors Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, but Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has such a unique flair to it. Lord and Miller may only be producing this movie (with Phil Lord having some writing credits), but their signature style is all over this trailer. Though the stakes are incredibly high, the tone of this movie feels absolutely fun, light, and breezy. A super collider has brought together Spider-People from various dimensions, and if the collider isn’t destroyed, then the fabric of space-time could very well collapse. This trailer, however, reveals more of the actual plot. The last Spider-Verse trailer showed us a good amount of heart that could be found within the relationships that affect Miles Morales, whether it be with his own father or with a mentor figure like Peter Parker. So this trailer wisely shows us what we’re familiar with before transitioning into something new. This is a fantastic way to ease average movie-goers into the larger idea of the “Spider-Verse.” Comic-book aficionado’s may already know Spider-Man Noir, or Spider-Gwen, or even Spider-Ham, but average movie fans have never been introduced to anyone other than Peter Parker himself. ![]() The trailer then shifts its focus to the real main character of the film, Miles Morales, by having Peter Parker proclaim “this isn’t about me – not anymore.” Spider-Man stopping a train with his webs, the upside down kiss with Mary Jane, and narrating “My name is Peter Parker,” are all references to iconic moments in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. I just watched the trailer.Before getting into wild and weird territory, this trailer starts off by showing us imagery that we’re familiar with. I don't see how else you can interpret this line from the Muscles From Brussels: "The only way is to blow them up and hope the pieces don't keep fighting us." (No, I didn't watch the movie. with the unwanted assistance of a feisty and beautiful journalist." Maurstad concluded that while the "action scenes were fine," the "acting is an atrocity" and the whole thing is "strung together by some of the lamest dialog and weakest storytelling this side of an adult film festival." I wonder, though, whether Maurstad missed some ironic subtext about the quest for the Higgs boson. The 1999 film Universal Soldier: The Return, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, was filmed there the SSC became (according to Dallas Morning News reviewer Tom Maurstad) "a high-tech secret lab" wherein Luc Devereaux ("killing machine by day, loving widower-father by night") does battle with an "evil computer. If you think the place has never been used, you're wrong. The state of Texas unloaded the property years ago and now it's up for sale again ("on an 'as-is, where-is' basis") at the low, low price of $6.5 million. Physics nerds periodically trek to the site and take depressing photographs of weeds engulfing the facility. The SSC, meanwhile, has suffered the fate of Ozymandias. Two decades later, it appears that they have. ![]() Construction began near Waxahachie, Texas, in 1991, but two years, $2 billion, eight buildings, and 14 tunnel miles later Congress decided that, given the project's escalating costs and a $255 billion budget deficit (in those days, that seemed like a lot), perhaps we ought to let the Swiss score this scientific breakthrough. It could have happened here if the United States had completed the Superconducting Super Collider, a $12 billion particle collider conceived in the early 1980s that was going to be bigger and faster than the Geneva facility. (I'm a little hazy on the details.) Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva reported today that they think they glimpsed the elusive (and heretofore theoretical) particle, but they can't be sure. The scientific world is in a state of high excitement over the prospect of finally isolating the Higgs boson, the subatomic "God particle" that gives, or conveys, or accounts for the existence of, mass. ![]()
