PHEW...I'm usually good about keeping up with DVD releases...and I thought that one may have somehow slid under my radar :lol:
(I have "The Love Bug" and "Little Shop of Horrors" coming as we speak! :sohappy: )

You beat me to it! :lol: I just saw the actual image Sony released, it's the same as the banner, only on a better resolution. He looks REALLY good, I think. More to do with Ultimate Ock than regular Ock, though.

*hmph* No tubby guy with a "bowl" cut? :lol:
I love it!!!!
This is the stuff blockbusters are made of! (now...let's see how "real" the tentacles look!...I believe someone said they're not CGI right?)

Here's something else from Comic-Con about Spidey II (this comes from Countingdown.com):
This panel started on a down note, but ultimately came forward as one of, if not *the*, strongest movie presentations at Comicon. But first, the "bad news", as it was delivered to us by Producers Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad -- director Sam Raimi, a much beloved geek and friend to comic-readers and film-goers alike, was too sick to attend. This was an unfortunate bit of info, but it was soon forgotten (sorry Sam) upon the big, super-dramatic reveal of Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus via a slowly revealed image on a banner which I'm assuming will start appearing in theaters before too long. Damn. By this point, you've all seen the image on Aint It Cool News or wherever so you know what I'm talking about, but I mean really. Damn. The folks over at Sony have come up with a truly ' redesign for the good doctor. It's like they borrowed the arms off a Sentinel from the Matrix flicks and just jammed them into Molina's back. And boy does it work! This, of course, was only confirmed and validated by the clip that was shown to us. A group of doctors hover over the unconscious body of Dr. Otto Octavius (lying on his back with a bandage over his eyes), who has recently survived an accident that left his four mechanical 'helper arms' grafted to his back, but also linked to his brain via his spinal chord (we're shown a groovy X-ray for those of us who are visual thinkers). These are some really long arms, too, that extend the length of the room in all 4 directions. The decision is made to cut the damned tentacles off and then see about saving Octavius. "Anyone remember shop class?" quips a doctor with a saw, preparing to start 'removing' Ock's new metal apendages. On a side note, I could swear the doctor in question was Dylan Baker, the actor who's being billed as the one-armed Dr. Curt Conners in Spider-Man II. Is it possible that he gets his arm ripped off by Doc Ock in this scene? Anyways, back to business. He's about to start cutting, and notices some movement from one of the arms on the gurney. He stops to look for a moment, but then continues. Then the fun starts. The arms just start going at the doctors, and there's some serious violence on display here. Not so much gore, but these guys take a real final and often deadly pounding from these arms. They're shown throwing people across the room, grabbing people by the face, sending them through glass and walls. It's also made clear that each arms can 'see', and sends a visual of what it's doing back to Ock, who is still lying face down on his table, eyes covered. After 'dealing with' all the doctors in the room, we see some of the more delicate work the arms are capable of, as one of them gingerly removes the bandages from Octavius' face. He then screams, as his new arms flail about. At first I suspected that Doc Ock was just mad about his fate, but it sort of made it look like Doc Ock might actually be blind in his eyes now, only able to see via his tentacles...not sure if that's true, but it'd be a great new twist on the character. I can't stress enough how great this footage looked. Even with effects that clearly weren't finished, I already know that this scene will be a classic and a big hit in theaters. It also looked a lot like some of director Sam Raimi's previous work, with extreme facial close-ups and a sort of wily camera movement. Just top notch stuff, I absolutely cannot wait for the movie now. This was followed up by a surprise appearance by Doc Ock himself, Mr. Alfred Molina, who joined Ziskin, Arad, and effects supervisor John Dysktra in a brief but interesting Q&A session. Not too much to note here, except a renewed promise that Sam was only using CG were absolutely necessary, and word from Arad that Venom is being considered for a third film, despite the darkness he would bring to the franchise. The Spider-Man II panel was excellent, hats off to all those involved for really giving it all your effort.

Check this out!!!
This could mean a movie would be following soon, right? This just goes to show how all the new stuff on is pure crap! They're having to go back to the 80's and resurrect stuff like He-Man, Thundercats and TMNT to have truly great shows! :sohappy: :sohappy:
