I read the answer to that is no because the movie is partnered with Sony Entertainment.

So is Spidey homo, trans, bi, tri, or virgin?

Looks terrible. Hollywood continues to butcher the original concepts of heroes. Spiderman was my favorite super hero. It didn’t take occult plot lines or monsters from outer space or ridiculousness. Batman and Super Man worked for me as well.

These new comic book movies are abysmal. Oh, was recently forced to see Aqua Man. Beyond terrible. Boring with hours of pointless CGI.

Yeah Aquaman was terrible and I don’t understand why so many people went to see it.

The Marvel movies though are very good, and have very conservative values at their core.

There are rumors she might be rehired, but it hasn’t actually happened.

Sony Pictures is calling a lot of people stupid as they pretend that unwanted trailer views mean something. Just like trailer views in the theater, more websites and online games force the viewer to watch.

Hollywood elites continue to be firmly in the clutches of Nietzsche with their constant promotion of godless supermen.

Thanks for the ping. I don’t trust anything in the movie business today be hold for more than about 15 minutes, but this is from two days ago:

https://www.looper.com/583910/the-real-reason-why-spider-man-no-way-home-will-be-exclusive-to-theaters/

I don’t have much to say about the spandex warriors, but I do hope audiences will return to theaters, mainly because I don’t want the streaming networks to be the only distribution game in town. The vertical integration of the industry is worrisome. The more platforms, the better.

How much of a theatrical window Spider Man: No Way Home will have, I don’t know. I won’t be seeing it. But if it brings the comic book movie fans back, good. I WILL be interested in what the multiplex theater might be showing on its other 13 screens. That’s where independent films, including my kind of films, might find room to breathe. But for that to happen, we have to keep the multiplex theaters alive.

Not that I have any objection to tiny, 50 seat art house popup theaters, but no major filmmakers will produce for that market if mainstream theatrical options disappear. The art houses will be reduced to student projects shot on I-phones. Everything else will be reduced to what Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, etc. will greenlight. The Borg is the big threat.

At this point, it’s apparently not hybrid. The current plan seems to be a theatrical release on December 17. How long the theatrical window will be, I don’t know. Shortening the theatrical window obviously undercuts ticket sales, so there’s a tricky balance to be struck.

About thirty five years ago Siskel and Ebert had a discussion on why superhero movies suddenly were becoming the rage.

One pointed out that the early generation of movie makers read great books and made movies of such.

But today’s generation of movie makers were raised on comic books.

Sixty years ago a superhero movie would be given a “B” Budget financing, made in black and white, chintzy special effects, then shown on the bottom of a drive-in double feature under something like Hercules And The Women From Mars.

Today superheros get Top financing, great special effects, and the adult kids eat it up.
I tried to watch one not long ago. It gave me a headache trying to keep up with all the Whizz-Bang action.

Great point. It's a sign of the dumbed-down times.

Also, the young genration(s) have VERY short attention spans.

They find any non-action movie that runs beyond 1 hour-45 minutes to be insufferably long and dull.

They have no regard for the subject matter and quality of a non-action film.

Dumb and immature.

Imagine promoting the garbage that is Disney. Consider the level of a mind entertained by Spider-man movies.
