EMMA STONE CHANGES HAIR!



Great Scott, comic fans!

Or as the infamous web-crawler exclaims himself, “Holy Toledo, my spider-burrito!”

New pictures have surfaced from some premiere thing of the one and only Emma Stone with her hair bleached back to her original color for her role as Gwen Stacy in the reboot of the spectacular Spider-man franchise, that unholy, jaw-dropping creation of comic-makers Stan Li and Bill Finger! That was a mouthful!

The internet is a buzz! Look at this girl! She has blonde hair!

It’s a marvelous time to be alive, spider-fans! Imagine all those children reading the Spider-man comics back in 1928, when the character was first created, they’ll never get to see Emma Stone’s hair color! They’re dead!

One comment I heard while “trolling” the web was that Emma Stone looks as smooth and clean-cut as a Jack Kirby drawing, and I have to say, the resemblance is uncanny!

But with this cavalcade of historic comic-book news, a new set of photos have been released of the other cast members of this Spider-man reboot-phenomenon with their new hairstyles! And I have the scoop right here first! It is unbelievable!


ANDREW GARFIELD


Young and hip, fresh off the set of Justin Timberlake’s Social-Network, Andy, as his friends call him, is stylin’ a whole new hairdo, straight outta the comics! I can hear the ghost of creator Stan Li now! He’s saying, “Help me! For the love of God help me out of this box! Oh, boo hoo!”


RHYS IFANS


We have a new super villain on our hands, and with a new super villain we’re gonna need a new haircut! Our skippy foreign gentlemen, fresh off the set of some film I never heard of is up to bat to bring new life to the classic Spider-man villain, the Riddler! Hoo-ha! Riddle me that!


SALLY FIELDS



Look at these cookies. You’re staring at the new Aunt May, Peter Parker’s caretaker and moral-nuisance. Can she show Spider-man that responsibility can truly make a difference to those inner city youths and win the league championships? I don’t know. I don’t know who this character is, I don’t know. Can’t wait to see this fresh face on billboards though!


SPIDER-MAN



Hey, look! Spider-man is getting in on the action! What a rascal! Originality!




MOLEMAN



Back on the scene and ready to cause trouble! What’s Moleman’s role! I don’t know. I honestly don’t know… Oh, Christ, oh, God… Jesus, help me…


TOBEY MAGUIRE



Hey! You get out of here! You had your shot! And you blew it! You lost everything that night in Vegas! What? You didn’t know I was there? Of course I was there, in the shadows, martini in hand, camcorder in the other! I saw everything! And it’s all on tape! I’ll ruin you! I’LL RUIN ALL OF YOU!



And now, Ladies and gentlemen, the Lizard pictorial spread:




MERRY HOLIDAYS.

CBL Christmas, continued

More Christmas songs, CBL-ified! As you can tell, I'm studying really hard for finals >_<.

Spider Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas

But villains laughing, bad guys passing

Evil smile after smile

But on ev’ry street corner you’ll see

Spider-man, Spider-man

Friendly neighborhood superhero

Swinging here, swinging there

Soon it’ll be safe Christmas Day.

Strings of cobwebs

Make ‘em stop dead

No more crime on the streets

Sorry, Doc Ock

And Kingpin and Hammerhead

Goblin’s vanquished

Lizard’s been squished

Sandman’s been swept away

And above all this bustle

You’ll see

Spider-man, Spider-man

It’s Christmas time in the city

Swinging here, swinging there

He's made it safe Christmas Day.



Watchmen Night

The Comedian dies one quiet night

Rorschach creeps, he’s a fright

No one believes his theory

Even his friends are weary

They say the Watchmen are done

They say the Watchmen are done

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Then, a building fire starts

Nite Owl and Silk Spectre race to their parts

They’ll go to save the people

They’ll go to save the peace

Silent night, holy night

Dr. Manhattan shows his might

Once Laurie leaves him, he feels out of place

He flees humanity for outer space

She has to beg him to save Earth

She has to make him return.

Silent night, holy night

The Watchmen discover the end is nigh

Ozymandias planned genocide

Blaming Jon and making him hide

All in the name of peace

All in the name of peace

Silent night, holy night

Rorshach thinks this can’t be right

He wants to tell the world the real truth

But everyone knows that’d end in bad news

So Dr. Manhattan must kill him.

And so his story ends.


Sorry I can't sing (Silent Night, on hindsight, is really freaking high haha). Anyway, hope you guys feel like coming up with some of your own! CBL Christmas Album, anyone? Sure beats Mariah Carey.

CBL Christmas!

Happy holidays everyone! In the spirit of the season, Melodie and I decided to make up our own lyrics for popular Christmas songs...

12 Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas the CBL gave to me...
1) Taimur dancing naked and free
2) dirty drawings
3) tawdry jokes
4) Eitan slappings
5) Green Lantern rings
6) meeting minutes
7) rooftop parties
8) threats of burning
9) whales in wheelchairs
10) creepy 'staches
11) Southern scoldings
12) post-club outings

and you have this lovely video of us singing it for you so you can sing along! (we posted it before we could become horribly mortified at our voices/appearances/oh my god it is late) soooo... enjoy!



The Christmas Song

Will’s pals drinking by an open fire

Wendy Xu whipping naughty bros

Yuletide carols being sung by Taimur

And Dan mocking the Marvel hoes

Ev’rybody knows Jack Daniels and some mistletoe

Help keep Courtney’s spirits bright

Andrew & Mel with their eyes all aglow

Will keep Wendy from sleeping tonight

They know the publication’s on its way

Mike’s put in lots of hours every day

And at a Jersey desk, a reporter writes

“Oh, how I wish the CBL was here tonight!”

And so we’re offering you this silly tune

To kids, to whales, to were-cats too

Since winter break is upon us so soon

Merry Christmas

A Comic Book League Christmas

Merry Christmas to you.



Happy holidays, ladies and gents!
