Spider-Man Movie Update
This morning brings a slew of news from 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' including new images, intel on Peter Parker's web shooters, and some insight from Emma Stone and Mark Webb in video form.
Courtesy of Empire, check out a great interview package with Emma Stone, who dishes on Andrew Garfield's transformation into 17 year old Peter Parker, plus hear from producer Avi Arad and director Marc Webb:
Webb also spoke with the LA Times Hero Complex about the costume design and the decision to include Peter Parker's homemade web-shooters in the story. He explains that the web-shooters are device to 'dramatize Peter’s intellect,' adding:
“We paid attention to the question of ‘How would a kid make it?’ And obviously we took some license with it. We also wanted a design that would make the body longer and more lithe, more of an acrobat, someone incredibly agile, and the legs of the spider [symbol on the chest] were something we used to emphasize that. We made a bunch of different suits for different lighting conditions. I wanted something that worked in the night a little better. We paid attention to that and also made the webbing [on the costume] a little bit darker. With the costume and the web-shooters we wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he’s an outsider.”

Finally, Slashfilm debuted six high res images from the film, below. See a few great shots of the Spidey suit, plus Peter cozying up to Gwen, and some subway acrobatics:

Age of Deteriorating Morals
I was seated next to a boy of about twelve years old on the train a few days ago. He appeared totally caught up with whatever he was playing on his electronic device.At first I thought it was just another gaming device, so I did not bother to find out what he was playing, but being always curious to find out the latest gadgets in the market, I took a glimpse at the gadget he was using. What I saw was a device with a relatively larger screen than most gaming gadgets, apparently, a PVP or Portable Video Player as I found out later. On the screen of the device, an animated video movie was being played.
The video played by the boy appears to be just another of those Japanese animated movies telling of teenage girls in classrooms and about their daily lives, something like a family story, so I did not bother much and decided to rest my eyes to sleep. When I opened my eyes later, I could feel from the gestures of the boy that he has become intensely excited, almost oblivious to all his surroundings, engrossed, stiffen, and possibly intoxicated, so I simply had to take a peek at what he was doing.
What I saw on the video was not a family type of movie of a harmless school girl story, but a 'Hentai' type of pornographic anime showing a scene of the school girl tied up and being raped by the professor with her wailing in tears! That really shocked me!
Students these days have too many gadgets to play around, and many of these are unnecessary and sometimes even harmful. To think of underage boys and girls watching videos of such materials on a mobile gadget makes me think what has become of the new age generation today.
Parents these days are too ready to sponsor their children to buy such devices, but few are responsible enough to bother about finding out the harm such gadgets may bring. That is as much as we can say about parental guidance.

Sleazy Videos
Imagine the kind of videos allowed on the web these days. You no longer have to go to porn sites to be enticed. Today, even public video hosting sites like YouTube has materials that, in my opinion, are disconcerting.
The following are screen captures of two videos showing how degrading our generation has become!
If you agree with me on this, feel free to leave me your comment at this blog entry, and let's talk about what measures we can take to disallow such obscene display of sensuality in the public eye.
