Fine. Time magazine was right – Barack Obama is the Person of the Year. We can’t argue with this photo, which was taken back in October. The kid dressed up as Spider-Man is one of President Obama’s staffer’s kids. So no real threat was posed, which we guess explains why the Secret Service isn’t taking him down. [...]

Emerald Catron — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:05:21 +0000

“Witness yet another Spider-Man origin story, just so Sony can retain the rights to the character.” Honest Trailers once again keep it real. We almost don’t think there’s much more to say about ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ than that, but that’s why we don’t write these videos and they do. If you’re wondering if you should [...]
