Venom In Spiderman 3?

Go go 4 color rebellion!

Spiderman in black costume.

This pic was released a few days ago by Sony as a teaser for the upcoming Spider-Man 3 movie. The reason I didn’t bother posting it is because I quickly glanced at it and thought it was simply a moody shot of Spider-Man, not an actual picture of him with a black costume on.

Spider-Man fans will know what the black costume means. Spidey donned a black costume a long time ago that turned out to be more than what it seemed. In actuality it was an alien symbiote. Eventually, Peter ditched the costume and it wound up in the hands of a guy named Eddie Brock who later became one of the most famous Spidey villains; Venom.

This pretty much all but confirms that Venom will either be a main player in the movie, or that this is going to be the story-line leading up to the Vemon event. And what’s this? Could we have stumbled upon the first footage of Venom? Is that just some fancy editing or footage from one of the Spawn movies? Not sure yet, but we are investigating.

VENOOOOOM - not working for some reason but was 5 minutes ago.

MIIINT. Venom is class.

Right, please open the link below in Internet Explorer (ugh, I know) and position the window so it looks like this image:

These should be C3’s dimensions for showing the article.

Indie Scene Tripod Test

Now, read, look and let me have it, BOTH OF YOU PLEASE. I want criticisms so that I can respond to justify or correct them. I’m talking style, both writing and image wise, the choice of images, amount of writing, whether parts bore you, etc., etc.. This isn’t the final version as I may have more info. to put in later and I’ve not posted it in the staff forum yet as I want criticism from my expert proofreaders - Vikki’s already had a look and likes it.

Seriously, let me have it.

Mason Wins Again

Crossbeam Announce ‘Thorn’ exclusively for Nintendo Revolution.

Motherfuckeeeer. Breaking new news agaaaain. I love my contact. He’s MINE. All business for C3 and Crossbeam officially comes through me it seems. :-D

The Boy Least Likely To Gig

Jesus Christ. Absolutely fucking amazing.

First off, the support were great, B.C. Camplight, so we got their album and I got a limited edition (100 copies) single. Got them all signed by everybody at the end. The singer was downing half a bottle of Southern Comfort in between singing and playing piano.

When Boy Least Likely To came on it WAS ‘the best party ever’. I was singing along to everything, class atmostphere, SO glad I went. One of the band (the blonde woman) started eating cakes on stage. They all love their hand actions. They like to stomp. They like to clap. We were right at the front, literally next to the stage. Vikki bought their album and got it signed by all of them. I got a piece of paper signed by the singer. Vikki was brilliant at getting signings, just kept somehow getting more and more. We have you a goodie bag Sy. :-) I have badges and posters and a nice t-shirt.

Best moments:

- MONSTERS. Oh my God. Monsters live is EASILY their best song, they start getting louder and faster the more it goes on, fucking incredible.
- Papercuts.
- (…) Apple Wagon (…)
- Be Gentle With Me - they set off a bubble machine in our faces. We had bubbles going all over us but we just didn’t care.
- NIGEL! NIGEL! chant for the sound engineer.

Oh yeah, and:

The Cubed3 Saga Continues

JAMES TEMPERTON IS BACK, BABY.

Turns out he was with his girlfriend away for a few days, and then at his dad’s. Would’ve liked a bit of warning, but nevermind.

The feature is on. Sample issue to be written up and scrutinised. I’m going to do it in the next few days, I have to do another ‘Kirby review’ - that is, get it perfect right away and get the job, just like I did with Kirby: Canvas Curse review.

Update: Since none of you seem to have read this so far, give me a hand. What do you think of when you hear the words ‘indie’ or ‘independent’? No, not music thoughts, please. Images in your head, etc. . I want to make a logo and have it all made up and coded for my preview version rather than just shoving it into writing alone.

Update 2: Le banner.
