26 year old actor Andrew Garfield has been cast as the “new” “young” “teenage” Spider-Man in Sony’s next film based on the hero. Marc Webb will direct from a script by James Vanderbilt.

Who cares? I mean honestly Tobey Maguire might be pushing 40 and the last flick the old guard did wasn’t great, but theres almost nothing about a new Spider-Man that could be remotely interesting now.

June was another busy month for the site! Not only did we bring you FIVE new videos and FOUR podcasts, we had more text features and news posted than any month this year so far!

Here is a run down of what you might have missed, which you’ll have plenty of time to catch up on this holiday weekend (Independence Day, Canada Day, Twlight Eclipse Day)
