Superhero Action Without Wearing Tights

You do not need to put on skinny red and blue tights or a fancy cape to show off your superpowers. At this modern age, men have more options on how to express their individual interests without having to go overboard. You can't exactly wear masks or tights to the office, right? Do that even once, and you will be the talk of the entire office for the next several years.
So, how exactly can you show your inner passion for superhero adventures and still appear ultra sleek and smart? The answer to that is rather easy - wear cufflinks.
Wearing superhero cufflinks not only allows you to attend office meetings with a unique personal touch. It will also be perfect when you attend formal dinners, weddings, business conventions and family gatherings. They would not interfere with the formality of your wardrobe as they would fit perfectly well with your attire. Cufflinks are meant to hold your cuffs, making your entire outfit faultless. With superhero sets, you simply add a bit of personality by choosing designs that match your interests.
The Man of Steel, leader of the Justice League, proves that he is also the boss in fashion accessories. Superman Cufflinks are arguably the bestselling superhero cufflinks in the range. Most popular varieties are those that come in gold or in silver sterling. Most of them feature the classic S symbol, and would differ only on how it is projected. It can be as simple as being painted in red, which is Superman's prominent color, or can be as intricate as being accented with rhinestones.
Batman also has his own share of followers, and his fans will only be too happy to show off their own
Batman cufflinks. From the cheaper nickel-plated sets to the pricier sterling silver ones, these accessories will be wonderful for any Gotham City resident. If you are actually rooting for the other side, then Joker sets will just be the thing for you. Gotham City cufflinks are also very much well-liked.
So, you are not a DC Comics fan? Who says Marvel Comics characters did not have their fair share of elegant accessories? Spider Man leads the Marvel team, with several designs of Peter Parker's alter-ego. Probably the most celebrated design is that featuring Spidey's mask. Also popular are Spider cufflinks and Spiderman stamp cufflinks.
Several famous cufflink sets are also inspired by other Marvel characters like Captain America, the Fantastic 4, the X-Men and Wolverine, and the Incredible Hulk. From each character, several designs are created, using different materials, colors and even sizes.
We may hear some people criticize adults and adolescents still fond of superhero adventures, but there is really nothing wrong with it. What harm can a shinny set of classy Superman Cufflinks cause anyway? They are a healthy diversion, amidst the complexities of the world. Besides, superhero cufflinks offer a very classy way of expressing one's admiration. Superhero masks and tights will stay with the kids as they attend their costume parties, while the adults and adolescents go for the cufflink sets as they attend formal social gatherings.

Spider-Man 4 heads back to the beginning?


Peter Parker can catch all sorts of villains in his webs, but the one thing Spider-Man couldn’t bring to Sony Pictures was a workable script — and budget — for the $2.5-billion franchise’s fourth installment, derailing one of the most lucrative movie series in Hollywood history.

Less than a week after the studio said it was postponing production on the fourth web-slinger movie over story problems, Sony on Monday pulled the plug on the project as it was being conceived with director Sam Raimi after he told the studio he wasn’t comfortable moving forward with the sequel, originally scheduled for release in May 2011.

Star Tobey Maguire, who has played the arachnid superhero in the previous three “Spider-Man” films, is also bowing out, as is his on-screen love interest, Kirsten Dunst. The studio said it would hire a new star and director and re-boot the movie as a story about Parker’s early life as a “teenager grappling with contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.” Because Sony is essentially starting from scratch, the studio has pushed the picture’s release to 2012.

The first three movies also made a significant difference to the income at the previously publicly traded Marvel, which is now less reliant on “Spider-Man” earnings since recently being acquired by the Walt Disney Co. Thanks to royalties from Sony as well as its 50% cut of merchandise on 2007′s “Spider-Man 3,” Marvel reported $122 million of revenue.

Sony and the filmmakers have been scrambling for weeks to keep “Spider-Man 4” together, according to people close to the project.

There have been four writers on the sequel. In addition to a draft by Vanderbilt, the studio hired Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (“Rabbit Hole”) and Gary Ross (“Seabiscuit”) to revise the script. Alvin Sargent (who has writing credits on the last two “Spider-Man” films) then spent the last six weeks trying to pull the disparate screenplays into a cohesive whole.

But neither the studio nor Raimi could agree on the ultimate direction of the script, which was centered on the legendary comic book character’s becoming reinspired and falling in love with a new girl, said people close to the situation. Because the film involves extensive special effects, complicated battle sequences and elaborate sets, Raimi would have had to start shooting in March to make Sony’s proposed release date in May 2011. The director felt that didn’t give him enough time to solve the screenplay problems, said people familiar with the matter.

Time wasn’t the only obstacle. Raimi, who declined to comment, had other concerns. He was unwilling to agree to the budget constraints Sony had set. The studio wanted “Spider-Man 4″ to cost less than “Spider-Man 3,” which was closer to $300 million.

Over the weekend, the parties tried to figure out a way to get “Spider-Man” flying but without success. On Monday morning Raimi called Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures, and Matt Tolmach, a top production executive, and informed them he wasn’t going forward.

The resulting film is expected to be far less costly than the production Raimi had envisioned for his version. Sony wanted to make the picture for about $230 million, which the director thought was not enough given his ambitions.

The movie is being written by James Vanderbilt, whose credits include “Zodiac” and “The Rundown.” The new film, which does not yet have an announced star or director, will be produced by “Spider-Man” veterans Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad of Marvel Studios.

“This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone else’s hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable,” Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said in a statement.

“Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me,” Raimi said in a statement. “While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.”

Spiderman 4 On Its Way

Can't get enough of Spiderman 3? Of course we're all been expecting another movie to come. Spidey fans will definitely cross their fingers for another sequel. Spiderman 4 - but who's gonna be the villain/s? The Lizard, they say...but we're still waiting for a new title, right?
The production for 4th movie was in early stages of development but there's no official word on the release date or even casting yet. Raimi, however is still uncertain if he will direct the 4th movie ( he's been rumored to show interest in directing 'The Hobbit' movie).
Major casts like Maguire and Dunst stated that they would love to do the next sequel if Raimi will be directing it. "I don't see me signing on for a fourth or a fifth," said Kirsten Dunst ( Mary Jane Watson in Spiderman )." I doubt Tobey Maguire would come back for a fourth, either." ( pretty scary for Parker and Watson fans for they'll be unsure if they will see them again portraying the next Spiderman movie).
For Maguire, he indicates that he wasn't eager to do a fourth film, but left open the possibility, depending on the script.

But the executive producer hopes all will return on the 4th film specially Raimi. Many fans said that Spiderman will never be the same again without Raimi. But for the directors out there who are willingly wanted to handle this kind of movie is definitely a new challenge and opportunity.By Joan Candaza
