Anyone Care About the “Big Ass Spider” Trailer? Anyone?

Meh. It’s horror news, so my obligation is complete. Terrifying thousands of people besides my wife’s hair-trigger sensibilities, it’s the trailer for Big Ass Spider.

Brand New “Man of Steel” Poster

December 3, 2012 by Fister Roboto

Curious. Directed by Zack Snyder, the Superman reboot, Man of Steel, lands in Smallville in June 2013. In the meantime we’re left to wonder about the poster. Who are the blurry military guys? Why is he handcuffed? Unless those are made of Kryptonite, I can only assume he’s come into contact with America and he’s voluntarily allowing his capture to prove his mission of goodwill, right? RIGHT?!
