Spidey thought

Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:

- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.” on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble brag”.....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it’s all NBD to him, of course.

- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it

- Snapchat just launched a “story” functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me” told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.

The sad part is that this e-mail almost certainly exists in a nearly verbatim form.

Teen Spidey would totally be into EDM and Snapchatting. Don't know about being vegan and yoga, though. Those seem more like what Tony Stark would be into. Spidey would start a liquified meat diet instead.

The last trailer literally ends with Kurt Russell basically saying "sup, Pete. I'm yer da." Why are you giving out over this, when it's more an issue relating to you not paying attention prior to the posters being released?

According to IMDB

quote:

is a darkly comic drama from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter's murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town's revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother's boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing's law enforcement is only exacerbated.

I know everyone already forgot about Amazing Spider-Man 2, but the thing I bolded is literally in that movie, and it's one of the few things that most people liked about it.

Also, Spider-Man on Snapchat is a great idea. :colbert:

He's a 16 year old, he's gonna be on Snapchat.

^^ E: Oh poo poo, really? Never saw the Amazing movies.

To be completely honest, a Spider-Man movie or really any superhero movie with an EDM soundtrack would own bones. Of course, the dream would be a movie with a Hideki Naganuma composed soundtrack, but that's a long shot.

Remember in Raimi's SPIDER-MAN when Peter frets over his MySpace Top 8? Everyone was like, "What a great idea! He's a teen so he would do that!" and they were right, what a great piece of storytelling.

I haven't seen any of the Raimi Spider-Mans in a while, but I wouldn't put it past 3 to include something like that.

No. That's his point, movies jumping onto current pop trends and apps means they won't be relevant in a few years.

Actual teen Parker might use Snapchat, sure. But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to put it in a film.
