Spider-Man was always my favorite comic book character growing up. I liked him so much that I spent like, three years justifying Spider-Man 3. Healthy Gwen Stacy, man, come on. Since Spidey 3 things have been kinda sad, with Marvel Comics replacing Peter Parker and rebooting everything and never sticking to the stories they write, and the movies are rebooted origin stories over and over. Now Spider-Man is playing basketball against kids, and he’s not even winning.

But no, Andrew Garfield seriously played basketball with kids dressed in his costume from Amazing Spider-Man 2, and that’s awesome. It should be the trailer. Less CGI bad guys, more Spidey not really trying to block shots. (via Guyism)

Via BoxingHallOfFame.com comes this awesome clip of Sylvester Stallone working out the fight from the end of Rocky, and it’s totally worth watching, especially for the impromptu Carl Weathers acting workshop. Tobias would be proud.

Pictured: Not Me

If you’ve enjoyed contributing money to millionaire Kickstarter vanity projects by folks like Rob Thomas, Zach Braff and Rob Liefeld (no, seriously, Rob Liefeld is doing one of these things), you’ll LOVE giving money to millionaires who matter: the bizarre human beings behind the Air Sex World Championships are making a documentary.

With Leather is all about Air Sex. They’ve brought me in as a judge a time or two, been featured onstage alongside folks like David Cross and-or Henry Rollins at Fun Fun Fun Fest, and the act of “f**king nothing” once made Howard Stern get all shifty on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ It’s a real thing, and more importantly it’s a real weird and funny thing, and it deserves a non-fiction film project.

Here’s their fundraising video. If Air Sex skeevs you out, perhaps you’ll enjoy the smooth baritone of The Internet’s Brandon Stroud bookending the trailer. Yes, I’m writing in third person now. Brandon is. Whatever. Check it out:

I’m not sure we’ll ever take a better picture than this. It pits Team Harlem Nights (Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor) against Team Ghost Dad (Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier) in the coolest softball game 1990 could create. I want one of those Ghost Dad softball hats SO BAD. Although to be honest, if I’m assigning myself to a 1990 movie softball team, I’m probably Team Home Alone. (photo via Buzzfeed)

Honestly, finding out that Shaquille O’Neal plays “Police Officer” in Grown Ups 2 is as much as you should ever learn about Grown Ups 2. In a perfect world, you’re saying, “Grown Ups 2? I never saw Grown-Ups 1!” Yes, in a perfect world you call Grown Ups “Grown Ups 1.”

Anyway, descending quality of comedy magnate Adam Sandler went on Conan to discuss the underlying themes of Grown Ups 2 — spoiler alert: nutshots —
and told a thorough story about playing basketball with Shaq, then trying to see his penis. It’s a totally reasonable thing, I guess, and the story is pretty spectacular. I’m only disappointed that Shaq didn’t make Sandler do the Mer-Man cry while he looked at it.

Here’s the clip:

I don’t get to share “supercuts” very often. If somebody compiles all the times somebody said “I gotta go to the bathroom” in movie history or puts together an 8-minute montage of all the times Fonzie tried to comb his hair and decided it was already perfect on ‘Happy Days,’ those videos go to FilmDrunk or Warming Glow. But today is different, friends, because somebody decided to make everybody from every baseball movie sing ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame.’ So, sports!

Highlights include James Earl Jones in Field Of Dreams (which is a highlight no matter the context), any and all use of the Major League film franchise, and the soothing sounds of opera star Enrico Palazzo.

I was gonna say “do more sports super cuts,” but I guess those are just highlight reels.
