ASM is a TERRIBLE movie. The acting is atrocious. The villian is boring & predictable. It makes me sad that some of you actually like it.
Director Mark Webb has revealed the location of two mind-boggling Easter Eggs which can be found in tomorrow's release of The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-ray and DVD. If you don't want to have to sit through the interview, here's the two locations:
• When Gwen is giving the Oscotp lab tour
• The end of the movie
The miscreants over at ComicBookMovie.com seem to be having a difficult figuring out exactly what the fuck Webb is talking about, which leads me to believe that these "Easter Eggs" have spoiled. (Get it? Eggs? Spoiled? GET IT?!) The best guess -- and I use the word "best" very loosely in this context -- is that there's a cloud that looks like a lightning bolt, referring to Electro as the sequel's likely villain. Got that? It's not a lightning bolt, and it's not a cloud ith lightning coming out of it -- it's a cloud shaped like an actual lightning bolt. That we don't even know for sure is the Easter Egg. Honestly, I can't think of a more fitting Easter Egg for ASM, myself.

As much as I enjoy you Rob I can't wait until you leave cause this bias toward ASM, it went from somewhat funny to duchebag levels or annoying
@GeneralMalaise Aw man, a guy on internet says I have bad taste because I enjoy something he doesn't. My whole life as I know it is a lie

"Media VULTURES were picking apart this restart of the franchise, but it was KING at the box office, and we PIN that success on fans acceptance. In the next film Spider-Man will be ELECTRIFYING, with movies like Ray MYSTERIO. If you are KRAVEN more Spider-Man action, you will be in for a SHOCKER with the sequel. RHINO what you're thinking. 'You're pulling SAND over our eyes, MAN, so you can take our GREEN backs' Trust us, you'll be GOBLIN up ever second of the Amazing Spider-Man follow-up."

I want them to stop talking and then watch what they said at 1:01 and then I think they will find why most people don't care for this movie.

@Someguy I heard the subtext: "...and we had that coming into the film, because he's an established character, so we said fuck it and concentrated on blowing shit up."
seriously
when they took away his total outsiderness and made him an insider they created a wholly new character that I don't give a crap about

Ding Ding Ding! That's it, exactly.
Sony doesn't like the character of Peter Parker. They don't think he's "accessible" enough to their teenager demographic if they make him a real nerd and a social loser. No... They have to make him a cool non-nerd "nerd", thus spoiling the whole point of Spider-Man.
The reason I always liked Parker wasn't his ties with hot girls like Gwen, MJ, or Deborah Whitman. It wasn't his photography gig. It wasn't even his kick-ass skills as Spidey. It was his absolute passion for science, and the science fiction elements of the mythology.
Peter Parker wouldn't skateboard. In the era in which he was invented, he wouldn't cruise the strip like the cool kids. He wouldn't play sports. He wouldn't stand up to Flash unless pushed way too far. That's the whole point to the lesson he learned from the death of his Uncle and his arrogant turn as a celebrity. He remembered WHO HE WAS, and that's not a cool, skateboarding, sports-playing, aggressive douchebag.
The "jokes" he told in the movie (from what I saw) were not the cornball humor of Spider-Man... They were the cruel taunts and "fucking-with-you" humor of a jock. I'd be surprised if he doesn't give Electro a swirly or hang him on a hook and make him punch himself repeatedly while saying "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself! Say 'I like to suck big dicks!' Say it, wimp!"

@nix.nightbird @Someguy absolutely right
marketing looked at the demographics, ran the numbers and a script was born. Their Parker is not scarred or traumatized - he is homogenized and pasteurized for mass consumption - a reflection of the original as shallow as the spreadsheets that produced him

There's an Easter Egg for something to come near the George Washington Bridge, you say? HMMMMM.

So one of the easter eggs is a hint who the villain in the sequel is even though we know who the villain in the sequel is?
