        Most likely reason you don't have fios is that your area was covered by a cable charter. Google Gigabit Internet $70/month -- (edited) - JD Jun 23, 15:40

  - I think 'you're missing the obvious point' misses the point they're failing to make - plenty of people hate plenty of things but don't act violently. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:17 1
    - Sure, that doesn't mean that hate can't be the reason that someone does kill. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 14:20
  - yah, that's why I said they're acting on their bigotry. not a good reason, but it's a reason. -- nm - b. Jun 23, 14:16 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - no worries, I re-said it figuring you hadn't read it. I feel for grny because it's hard for those of us who aren't - b. Jun 23, 14:28
  - if only there were an edit button. - ty97 Jun 23, 14:15
Rumor No.7 Spider-Man's next reboot already being planned for 2020. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:01 47
- I really hope it's an origin story. We really haven't had enough Spiderman origin stories just yet. -- nm - Qale Jun 23, 14:17 5
  - I'm excited to see which distinguished elderly actor gets to be knocked off in the first reel. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 14:20 3
    - Christopher Lee? -- nm - Too Soon Dept. Jun 23, 14:39
    - Not which nearly 30 year old actor gets to play teenage Peter Parker? Ooh ooh, how about how Stan Lee interjects himself a terrible cameo? -- nm - Qale Jun 23, 14:22 1
      - Oh. I guess I didn't backboard far enough. You win this round Spiderman reboot. -- nm - Qale Jun 23, 14:23
  - *gets bitten by a daddy-longlegs* *nothing happens* -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:18
- Stop trying to make fetch happen, Hollywood. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:12
- I can't wait until Spiderman flops again. -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 14:11 22
  - I don't get hoping it'll fail. I'm skeptical they've gotten it right this time, but why not root for solid entertainment? -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 14:13 21
    - I am 100% over Spiderman as a character. I want them to give him up for a long while. -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 14:19 19
      - Given that he sells more merchandise than Batman, Superman and The Avengers combined, this is unlikely. nm - Dignan Jun 23, 14:21 18
        
        *gasp* surely you don't mean superheroes are more licenses than they are characters???....nm - x Jun 23, 14:28
        
        I would bet money he didn't in 2014. -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 14:23 9
        
        Here. -- (link) - Spawn Jun 23, 14:26 2
        
        holy crap! -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:28 1
        
        Yup. I knew Dignan had won this arguement. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:29
        
        What happened in 2014 to supplant him? nm - Dignan Jun 23, 14:26 5
        
        MDH ditched that hero and got with a... someone else. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:27 2
        
        Oh had Logan Lerman been Spiderman, I would have been on board. And all over him. -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 14:33 1
        
        From Holland's intagram posts, I think they chose well. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:33
        
        Avengers everywhere. After the movie and animated series, games, etc. -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 14:27 1
        
        You mean Age of Ultron? - Dignan Jun 23, 14:31
        
        I would have never guessed this in a million years and still don't believe it in 2015. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:23 6
        
        I bought a spiderman fishing rod for my son this weekend, which he used whilst wearing his spiderman hat. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 15:57 1
        
        Who knows. Three more reboots and he might be Spider-Man in the movie. -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 16:27
        
        Kids can relate to Spiderman better - eag Jun 23, 14:26
        
        Well, The Avengers got a big boost this year, so I'm sure it no longer applies. nm - Dignan Jun 23, 14:24 2
        
        Was there a merchandise breakdown? I wear my adult sized Spiderman onesie without fail, but I can't see much else selling well. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:26 1
        
        No, just (global) totals. nm - Dignan Jun 23, 14:28
    - "Laces out!" -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:14
- the FF are rebooting in 2016 -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 23, 14:02
- Dude. Not with Marvel filming it. It will finally be done right. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:01 15
  - Technically it was done right. It was Spiderman 3's crapness that set the stage for further stumbles -- nm - Jovian Jun 23, 14:05 12
    - Spider-Man 3 is Casafreakinblanca compared to the last two. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:06 11
      - I didn't like V2.1...but Spidey 3 with Tobey is among the worst big-budget movies I've ever seen. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:14 6
        
        Agreed. The reboot was even better than 3. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:15 5
        
        No, no, and HELL no. - David Jun 23, 14:18 4
        
        3 *destroyed* a franchise. The reboot even warranted a sequel. You do the math. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:22 3
        
        Actually, the reboot did NOT warrant a sequel. They just did it anyway. - David Jun 23, 14:26 2
        
        Kinda like MoS! -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:31 1
        
        Almost exactly. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:34
      - Regardless, those sins had been forgiven when the reboot was announced. nm - Dignan Jun 23, 14:09 2
        
        pff, I liked Garfield for maybe 10 minutes 3rd grade, my classmate kept draw- oh, right. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 14:19
        
        Yours is a more tolerant movie religion than mine. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:17
      - I have not watch the last 2 cause I didnt feel a reboot was necesary - eag Jun 23, 14:08

[an error occurred while processing this directive means you had to order the Season Pass to get it working] -- nm - Qale Jun 23, 13:59
Hmm. Forgot Queen in my top 5... -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 13:58 4
- But you probably remembered putting Justin Beiber in it. Fool! -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 15:27
- It was all downhill after Sheer Heart Attack. -- nm - mud Jun 23, 13:59 1
  - Yeah, the biggest problem is picking one. Will think on it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 14:01
- Slacker!! -- nm - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 13:59
