Here's A List of Things I'd Ask At Today's Amazing Spider-Man Junket

Junket critics were given a special screening of The Amazing Spider-Man on Thursday for the explicit chance to get those pesky interviews and media out of the way early. Why now, you ask? Because Andrew Garfield’s on Death of a Salesman until the end of the month. Then off to god knows where. 

Meanwhile, here is a list of things I’d ask the assembled cast and crew:

  • Can you describe Spider-Man with an adjective other than amazing, spectacular, incredible, ultimate, avenging or nice?
  • did you choose to ignore spider-man drives a giant robot car and fight aliens for a reason?
  • describe the differences between facing the curt connors as an evolving threat to phillip seymour hoffman.
  • how did you even find the same creature effects team from super mario bros?
  • rhys, how did you lose your arm?
  • how do you think the progression of music has effected the characters? originally dashboard confessional gave the song, but now it’s a dubstep remix of a british metalcore group. thoughts.
  • if spider-man films are connected to musical buzz trends, while avengers is not, is that why they’re so successful?
  • how big are sam raimi’s shoes? 
  • where are the free danishes and coffee? andrew? rhys? emma? guy who isn’t mark webber?
  • when is the sequel to the end of love coming out?
  • rhys, a personal question: how did you sneak liquor into san diego comic con? i’ve been trying for years. no dice.
  • did you ever consider organic web-shooters, and therefore a more natural and organic spider-man that shot webs from a sac on his lower back?
  • why isn’t fucking venom in this? venom is metal.
  • where was agent coulson?

Upon entering your bedroom, Ben Kobold immediately begins to analyze your linen seams and pillow placement, planning a tucking strategy as you enjoy a glass of water he has poured for you. After you hydrate, Ben’s sinewy, well-groomed fingers delicately raise each sheet and blanket over your body until you’re comfortably bundled. Careful not to disturb any children who may be in the adjacent room, Ben leans in and uses his summer-breeze-like voice to gently sing you one of the five lullabies he has authored.
