Daily Spider-Man! I'm starting to think Jameson is trying to get a mental disorder named after him.

Daily Spider-Man double dose! The strip wouldn't load yesterday! I have to be at work at 7 in the morning! Fuck! (My New Year's resolution about not drinking coffee is out the window, btw.)

Daily Spider-Man! Years from now when Spider-Man's identity is revealed, Jameson will rage horribly that it was that punk Parker all along, then remember this moment and laugh himself to death.

‘The Conjuring’ Spin-Off ‘Annabelle’ Set for October Release

From slashfilm, The creepy, haunted doll from The Conjuring is about to be the star of her own movie. Annabelle is a spin-off featuring the doll that ended up in the home museum of Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) in The Conjuring. But like the rest of the events of that film, the doll has a real-world basis, and this October we’ll see some of it translated to film.


Despite the fact that the movie Annabelle is a white-faced, almost garishly made-up little girl, the original Annabelle investigated by the real Ed and Lorraine Warren was a pretty normal-looking Raggedy Ann doll. Given to Donna, a college student, the doll resided in the home Donna shared with a roommate. They soon experienced strange things with the doll: it seemed to move on its own, and even left notes.


The doll eventually attacked a friend of the girls — or he believes himself to have been attacked by it, at least. That led to a call to a priest, who in turn called the Warrens. An exorcism was performed to rid the doll of the demon which supposedly wanted to possess Donna, and the Warrens took the doll home. Even then, it continued to exert a malevolent influence, moving through the Warren home, and levitating from Ed’s desk. After another failed exorcism, they finally locked the doll in a cabinet, where it still sits.

We still don’t know much about the plot of this film, which is produced by Peter Safranand Conjuring director James Wan. John Leonetti, the cinematographer on The Conjuring, directed based on a script by Gary Dauberman. But the chances are it will be based on the doll’s real story. Annabelle Wallis, Ward Horton and Alfre Woodard star.


Variety reports the October 3 release, which pits the film against David Fincher’s Gone Girl and refugee drama The Good Lie. A direct Conjuring sequel is also planned.

Daily Spider-Man! Peter is obsessed with the windshield. He's also a petty little whiner, but we knew that already.

Now You Can Drink, Crush, Cry Into the Beer Can from 'Jaws'

From iwatchstuff, Narragansett Lager, the official beverage of getting tanked while hunting a giant shark, is re-issuing the 1975 can design seen in Jaws. According to the official release, this summer, all their 12-ounce 12-, 18-, and 30-packs of of the fifth-cheapest beer at the store will celebrate the Steven Spielberg classic with the gilded aluminum of cinema past. Now we, too, can live like Quint, slam a whole GD 'Gansett, crush the can, and thereby emasculate the nearby Richard Dreyfuss. This will be the summer that we absolutely shame the shit out of that guy for making Mr. Holland's Opus.

Box Office

From usatoday, Independence Day didn't hold many fireworks at the box office as new films fizzled at theaters.

Transformers: Age of Extinction won its second straight weekend, topping the Fourth of July weekend with $36.4 million, according to studio estimates from box-office firm Rentrak.

Analysts expected a challenge from Tammy, Melissa McCarthy's latest comedy. The film struggled with just $21.2 million, good for second place.

Box office has been on a ticket sales slide all summer, and moviegoers appeared more interested in pyrotechnics outside than inside the cineplex this weekend.

Ray Subers of Box Office Mojo notes that the holiday isn't typically a great one for moviegoing, as families hit the road on the long weekend.

"These titles would likely have earned a bit more on a traditional Friday," he says.

Still, the industry has been slumping for more than two months. June's ticket sales plummeted 16% from the same month last year, according to the site. While movies are enjoying healthy debuts, ticket sales are dropping off 70% and more per weekend as movies cannibalize each other in a packed slate.

It didn't help that this weekend's three new films came with little firepower. McCarthy has been one of the industry's most bankable comedians. But the $20 million movie, directed by husband Ben Falcone, mustered just a 26% approval rating from critics, says survey site Rotten Tomatoes. More troubling: It earned just a C-plus from moviegoers, says CinemaScore, an ominous sign for its long-term prospects.

Not that other films caused a ruckus. The horror film Deliver Us From Evil took third place with $9.5 million, meeting most analysts' modest expectations.

The sequel 22 Jump Street claimed fourth with $9.4 million, while the animated sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 was fifth with $8.8 million.

The only other major newcomer, the sci-fi film Earth to Echo, landed in sixth place with $8.3 million. Final figures are expected Monday.

Says Rentrak's Paul Dergarabedian: "The Fourth of July holiday went off with more of a whimper than a bang."

New Pink Floyd Album 'The Endless River' Out in October: Report

From Billboard, Pink Floyd may be releasing a new record this fall, according to guitarist David Gilmour's wife Polly Samson, who tweeted (and possibly leaked?) the news earlier this morning.

The band's longtime engineer Andy Jackson also confirmed the album's release via fan site Floydian Slip; while the band's current label home, Warner, has yet to confirm the release, Gilmour's manager hinted to the site that a proper announcement would come this monday (July 7). Billboard has reached out to the label and will update as the story progresses.

If the reports are true, "The Endless River" would come just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's final album, 1994's "The Division Bell"; the "new" material would have been recorded around the same time. Gilmour currently has a solo album in the works; no word on whether Roger Waters will have been included, but his last appearance on a Floyd record was in 1983 with "The Final Cut," and he reportedly has a new solo album in the works.

Keyboardist Rick Wright -- whose membership in Pink Floyd fluctuated over the years, thanks to a brief exit in 1979 stemming from clashes with Waters while recording "The Wall," a stint as a live session musician while the band toured that album, and an official reentry into the band by the time "Division Bell" was released -- died at 65 of cancer in 2008.
