Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark Goes From Bad To Worse As Actor Crunches Bones

December 22nd, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Stan Lee must be spinning in his specially-dug-grave-for-embarrassing-situations right now. Why? Because Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark is doing its darnedest to take massive great turds all over the legacy of one of the most famous superheroes ever.

From the curtain opener that saw sets not assembled properly, actors hanging limply in the rafters and more, we now have the story that one of the stuntmen of the show nearly died after plummeting to the ground like a pig kicked from a plane with a parachute made of anvils.

And of course, this is all very funny solely because U2 are involved and as we all know, Bono is a gargantuan ball bag of impressive proportions.

Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark Starts Unintentionally Hilarious Theatre Run

November 29th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

There’s a collective will for U2 to fail at the moment. Such is Bono’s intense smuggery is that the ill-feeling toward him even extends to Spiderman, who everyone loves. Seeing as Bono and The Edge did the score for Spidey theatre production Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark, we’re all wishing it nothing but bad luck.

And hilariously, it seems to have befallen just that… and in bucket loads.

Last night’s opener of Broadway’s most expensive production ever, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was a ripsnorting flop! That’s $65 millions worth of high-tech gadgetry fail and bad music soundtracking a utterly baffling script. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Rhys Ifans Is The New Spiderman Villain… But Who Will He Play?

October 12th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Rhys Ifans has been cast as the baddie in Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spiderman franchise, which definitely needed a shot in the arm after those three woeful Toby Maguire films. Seriously. They reeked!

He’ll be squaring up on-screen to someone called Andrew Garfield. No. We don’t have the foggiest notion who that is either. We could check but his name is so boring that every time we try to type it into a search engine, we fall asleep.

Anyway, Ifans and Garfield will join Emma Stone in the superhero flick and, while we know who Garfield and Stone are playing (Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy respectively), everyone is being a bit coy as to who the Welshman might play.
