I’m back up top just in time to enjoy the first evar Spider-Man Week here in New York City. Since Spidey hails from the NYC it wasn’t hard to tell from a marketing standpoint how to hype this latest film project. What has me excited are all the cultural institutions that are opening their doors for the hypefest…
The American Museum of Natural History is host to the largest spider collection in the world, and during “Spider-Man Week in NYC” the museum’s Dr. Norm Platnick will install a special spider exhibit featuring a dozen of the most unusual arachnids you’ve ever seen! There’ll also be spider origami projects for the kids as well as discussions and Q & A on those special wall crawlers. Exhibit runs daily from 10 a.m.-5:45 p.m. The planetarium stays open until 8:45 the Friday and every first Friday of every month.
At the Central Park Zoo, located at 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, Kids can explore the rainforest, antarctic habitat and snake houses to find hidden “Spider-Man 3” surprises. Plus, there’ll be daily “Spidey chats” with the zoo’s staff and interactive “Spidey Theater” performances. The zoo is open daily from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Comic book nerds unite at the great, grand New York Public Library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue for “The Ultimate Spider-Man Comic Book Collection.” See never-before-displayed original comics from the vaults, and vibrant art from four decades of adventures. This limited run exhibit is a MUST SEE! Tues.-Wed. 11 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; Thurs.-Sat. 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sun. 1-5 p.m.
I’m prah’lee the only cat hardbody comic book nerd enough to sit through three (3) consecutive Spider-Man movies in one night, but if you are too then fucks with me and the Spider-Man movie marathon…
TriBeCa Film Fest hosts the first two films in the series during a special screening on Thursday, May 3rd at 5:00pm (scroll down this page and click on Spider-Man Marathon)
Brooklyn comic nerds stand up once again. It’s going down at midnight on Court Street right off Atlantic Avenue. Copp your tickets through Fandango and form Voltron with me and COMBAT JACK in front of the theatre. I expect someone to already have the Dutch rolled.
For all of you folks that aren’t in NYC I thought I’d run a Spider-Man contest just to see if you were really down for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
1) Write down the first six lines from the theme song to the 1970’s Spider-Man cartoon.
2) What famous actress’ mother was part of the Spider-Man television series from the 1980’s?
3) What is the name of Spider-Man’s original writer?
You all know the drill by now. Answer these three easy questions and free DP Dot Com x Spider-Man shit will be sent to you by mail. Get off the world wide web and get caught up in the spider’s web this Friday.

1. Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman.
Is he strong? Listen bud
2. Kim Tootie Fields
3. Stan Lee
Do I won?
Looking forward to seeing the black suit in action friday.
Black Panther > Spidey (coming from a comic neophyte. But he did go out like a sucker in “Civil Wars” IMO.)
Something tells me that you’ll have some Spidey Dunks in the chamber for Friday Night as long as you’re not rocking a formfitting red & blue webbed outfit DP I’ll try and slide thru the festivities in BK. (And I’ll try and bring some libations if I do!)
I’m hitting up the AMNH. Thanks for the heads up.
I’m not watching that movie until June, the crowds are way too crazy.
It’s playing in the IMAX theatre, so that’s a good look.

I may slide through, but I’m not sure If i’m up to dealing with the hardbody nerd force or not, but I do love spiderman.
oh yeah, I will DEFINITELY bring the dutches and/or backwoods.
Lion,
We already got Combat Jack and 40 Dawg as confirmed for the night, and don’t sweat the nerd contingent, they don’t come up from they momma’s basements all that much, but they cool peoples…
^^^ I’ll be the guy with the Old English breath holding my waistline like I’m tucking a heater. Only instead of a four-fifth it will just be a fifth. Funny thing is some how I notice DP before he notices me… The irony of that statement will come to light to whomever comes out tonight that I’ve never met.
*hopes there’s room for the nullus chairs in the theater*
So this is the 11:45 at the UA on court st right? I’ll confirm with you in the A.M.
As for the nerd force, I had to leave Star wars O.G. ep. 1 early ’cause the nerds were getting annoying with them reciting and and acting out every scene. Even my son was getting grizzly….
It’s unfortunate that Spiderman week was ruined by the actual movie, which was fucking horrible.
