It’s been approximately three weeks since seeing Spider-Man 3 in theatres, and I figure by this time either you’ve seen the movie, or you don’t plan on seeing it. And now, with Pirates of the Caribbean 3 having come out this past Thursday and my own plans doing an eventual review of that, I should probably get to my previous priority of sharing my take of this movie. I’ve premeditated this more than I should have.

So of course, I had been wanting to see Spider-Man 3 for the longest damn time. As soon as I heard that that they were going to do the black costume story arc, and there was going to be at least an introduction of Venom into the scene, I got about as giddy as I possible could, which says a lot for me. Even after hearing that they were also going to be throwing Sandman in as a villain as well, I was deterred at all, because as I’m sure the rest figured as well, I was hoping this would just be and introduction into Venom story, and they’d actually debut him at the very end of the movie as a teaser, or they’d simply lead up to him showing up fully in a 4^th movie. Everything was going to be fine, I assured myself.

As part of Spider-man week, Marvel.com has posted a video of Ralph Macchio at the New York Public Library describing the life of a comic book from start to finish. Its a pretty neat clip, so I’ve included it below:

Haha! I made a punny title.

…er, anyway, DST and Art Asylum…actually, DST just acquired Art Asylum, so just DST…will be offering a box set of Marvel Minimates based on the highly popular Marvel Zombies series. The set will feature Colonel America, Spider-man, Hulk, Luke Cage, Wolverine and finally revealed, the disembodied head of Zombie Wasp. These figures are due for release in late September and the set should retail for about US$19.99.

As you no doubt know, Spider-man returns to theaters this weekend in a big way. In honor of his return, this week’s extended Lost Classics and $20 GOTW will take a look at some of the best games featuring the web slinger. So click below for some interactive web slinging action.

Well, with Venom’s debut on the big screen, it’s just as well that he get some more exposure in the comic realm as well, right? Seems a few new images in the upcoming Spider-Man/Red Sonja crossover have raised some interesting questions – who’s gonna be host to the Venom symbiote this time around?

A few images released by IGN show some penciled panels featuring a male whom sees himself as Venom in the mirror, then gets transported to a mysterious other realm, only to transform into Venom before our eyes.

Danny Elfman will not provide the score to the newest Spider-Man movie, but you can hear Christopher Young‘s new theme in the latest trailer for the Spider-Man 3 game.

I didn’t think much of the theme for the first 2 movies, but this one is quite good. Doesn’t jump up out at you like the old John William’s Superman theme did (nothing since has), but its definitely my favorite modern superhero movie music.

The Snow Patrol music video for “Signal Fire,” featuring a grade school rendition of Spider-Man. It’s AWESOME. And I like the song.

All this talk of the Spider-Man musical has reminded me of something cool I saw recently. In the spirit of talking about music and Spider-man, I’ve decided this is the best time possible to share this video, unearthed by the guys at ComicsAlliance.com:
