Daily Spider Bomb! Week 10 - MANBOT has no time for your vanity!
"My brave quips are hollow and lack credibility. Perhaps they are... my REAL mask?"
"I am hopelessly outmatched on even the most conceptual levels. The physics of true flight vs. that of a series of pendulums -- BAH!"
"My foe implacable, his master murderous. Truly I am as doomed as that hapless chunk of building."
Yes, he'll pay lots for a photo of something he is renting. Especially the photo you just got of its armpit.
Villain gains upper hand for dumbest reason ever!
"My life is really exciting! Because I totally suck at this!"
"Sorry I waited for you to scold me before I showed you the robot-cam and my scary blue lighting, Kaitlin. I'm sure we didn't miss Spider-Man doing something that would clue me in to his identity before I ever saw his face."

"Echo Base, this is Rogue Two. I've found them. Repeat, I've found them."
From ew, Actor Christopher Malcolm has died at the age of 67. In the early ’70s, the Scottish-born Malcolm originated the part of Brad Majors in the original stage production of The Rocky Horror Show and co-produced a West End revival of the cult musical in 1990. But the actor was probably best known for playing the character of Zev Senesca in Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back and Saffy’s father Justin in the beloved British sitcomAbsolutely Fabulous. His other acting credits included 1980′s mercenary action movie The Dogs of War, Warren Beatty-directed Reds (1981), and Highlander and Labyrinth (both released in 1986).
The actor’s death was announced on Twitter by his daughter, the playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (his cause of death has not been released). “Today the world lost a beautiful, brilliant man,” she tweeted on Saturday. “My dad Christopher Malcolm left peacefully and with dignity. He will always be my hero.”

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 9 - The best thing to grace this strip since Kingpin's floating head screen: MANBOT
Is it the reality TV that's better in the Marvel Universe, or simply the reality?
Jameson's expression is priceless, but Kaitlin Kirn's is better. She just now noticed that Jameson isn't wearing any pants.
Oh, so the "device" is a cell phone.
Jeez, what could be worse than Skyping with J. Jonah Jameson?
Manbot has no time for your web-based puns! Admit it, your powers are useless! Oh wait, that's what you just said.
So the guy controlling the robot can't actually see what's going on? That's a bad user interface.
Sunday Spider-Man! Where the talk show ladies are hotter and the robots have the bling, yo!

Daily Spider Bomb! Week 8 - The Christmas Robot! The Christmas Robot!
For a few best-forgotten weeks it was called the Kaitlin Kirn Komedy show.
So Peter Parker usually gets people for Christmas???
KLAP KLAP KLAP AAHHH WE'RE ON FIRE
"Oh wait, it is Stark! Jeez, I just twisted his head off..."
"Maybe I'll get radioactive duck powers!"
Peter invokes wrath of mythical harpy woman, tries to hide head in jacket like a turtle.
Daily Spider-Man, I swear I will give you a quarter every day if you promise to stop mentioning the goddamn airport.

’90s Flash John Wesley Shipp Joins 2014 CW Show ‘The Flash’
From slashfilm, Briefly: Perhaps the strangest bit of casting for The CW’s new Arrow spin-off, The Flash, is the role given to the actor who played The Flash for CBS from 1990 to 1991.John Wesley Shipp, before playing Dawson’s father on Dawson’s Creek, was both Barry Allen and The Flash in the single-season show that featured 22 episodes of The Fastest Man Alive running around in a Stan Winston-built suit.
Shipp reportedly has a recurring role on the show, but his precise character has not been revealed. Can we now expect Mark Hamill’s Trickster to appear, too?
The rest of the cast for the new show includes Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Candice Patton as Iris West, Jesse L. Martin as Iris’s father, Detective West, Rick Gosnett as Central City Police Detective Eddie Thawne, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon, Danielle Panabaker as S.T.A.R. Labs bioengineer Caitlin Snow and Tom Cavanagh as S.T.A.R. Labs CEO Harrison Wells.
Daily Spider Bomb! Week 7 -- Things happen that suggest more substantial things might happen next week!
J. Jonah's cigar weighs down a full half of his face.
Bugle employees roll their eyes as Parker walks around with his half Spidey mask on again.
Robbie has removed his tie, but not donned the Hawaiian shirt/cargo shorts combo I was hoping for.
"I wonder if I could spy on Jameson somehow, considering I have super powers and a perfectly good reason to be near the man. Nah, I'll just stay home and whine."
"Hey, what was that crazy foreign charity anyway? I never heard of Srekooh n Ezoob."
"I sat around the apartment whining for so long, it's too late for me to get to work like a normal human being! And I should've checked on that secluded spot thing, probably! This is more exciting than when I almost ran into Robbie last week! Uh, I mean...a few hours ago."
This just in: Rich media mogul packs enough clout to ignore a rule displayed on business-sized photocopy paper taped to a window!

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Will Shoot from Mid-May through September
Wrapping principal photography on Star Wars: Episode VII in September, per HitFix’s confirmation, should give Abrams and his team ample time to complete post-production before the film’s release. It should be noted, though, that September may not mark the end of filming on Episode VII, as the pic will no doubt go back for additional shooting at one point or another—it’s now common for almost every movie to have some form of reshoots/additional filming after wrapping production.
Further firm details are, as always, few and far between at this point, but now that we know filming will be underway in London in just a couple of months, expect firm casting announcements relatively soon. Star Wars: Episode VII opens in theaters December 18, 2015.
