New Trailer: The Amazing Spiderman

By Joe Cohen | Published on September 8, 2011

From the looks of it, it’s nothing that we haven’t seen before. In fact, they have even copied some of the same shots from the original Spiderman movie. There is nothing amazing about rebooting a franchise within 10 years of the original. It comes off greedy and like Hollywood is just looking for a quick buck. It does appear a bit darker and real, which is going to appeal to a lot of our de-sensitized community. Andrew Garfield as Spiderman brings more mystery and darkness to the role than Tobey Maguire. Something about the way Maguire played Peter Parker was painful to watch. I have never read a spiderman comic where Peter Parker was a fumbling idiot all the time. It was as if they wanted audiences to care about Peter Parker through pity. Anyways, The Amazing Spiderman is being shot entirely in 3D and Mary Jane (played by Emma Stone) is hot! (I won’t even go there about who was hot – or not – in the Original Spiderman!)

The Amazing Spiderman dips into your pockets July 3, 2012 worldwide.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
