The Amazing Spider-Man Is Amazingly Annoying

The Amazing Spider-Man Is Amazingly Annoying

By June 7, 2012 Comics, Movies 0 Comment

I’ve been perching on the fence in a Todd McFarlane-esque pose about The Amazing Spider-Man, but I regret to inform you that I now hate The Amazing Spider-Man with a burning passion, and this video is why:

“I’m swingin’ heah, I’m swingin’ heah!” Really? The tiredest of all New York clich?s, so ubiquitous and overused that few people even remember it’s from Midnight Cowboy? That’s Spider-Man’s first non-“small knives” quip? Fuck everyone involved in bringing that line to movie theaters. Fuck the guy who wrote it, fuck the guy who directed the scene, fuck Andrew Garfield for saying it, fuck the guys who approved it all, and fuck everybody who photocopied that page in the script, just for good measure. I swear, if Spidey pulls a “I don’t get no respect!” Rodney Dangerfield impression in this movie, I’m setting everyone at Sony on fire. (Via Blastr)

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
