First of all, as a Rescue Me fan I’d like to put this clip on record as an alternate reality situation of what happened to John Scurti’s Kenny Shea character. The idea of him as a doorman looking over the finer residents of Manhattan is a lot more rewarding of a fate than what he experienced in the penultimate episode of the uneven but ultimately rewarding Denis Leary joint.
Now, The Amazing Spider-Man.
A clip has arrived and it is completely action free. It also doesn’t feature the tasty Emma Stone, handshake deficient Dr. Curt Connors, or a jarring cameo from the money-hungry Stan Lee. Just ol’ Peter Parker and a doorman. I suppose the point is to sell the character aspect of the story to internet folks.
It’s fine I suppose, but I really get a vibe that Mr. Garfield really is just playing Eduardo Saverin all over again from this bit.
I’m trying not to be a grump but I don’t know if I want another 2 hours of that. Here’s the clip.

He’s definitely got that slightly baffled vibe that he sported as Eduardo in The Social Network. At least he’s not a block of wood like Toby though.
What’s totally hilarious, to me at least, is that apparently Hollywood filmmakers (Marc Webb, James Vanderbilt) are under the impression that New York City police officers of any rank, live in swanky Upper East Side Manhattan doorman highrises.
It’s more along the lines of places like Valley Stream, NY or Whitestone (or Bayside), Queens. Generally, working class, suburban enclaves, out of the way of the upscale Manhattan or hipster Brooklyn boroughs.
And anybody that’s familiar with NYC; have you ever seen any doorman with his own little lectern out on the sidewalk?
Not even at the swankiest hotels.
That’s a lawsuit on the building property owner just waiting to happen, and begging for somebody to ‘stumble’ over.
Ugh. I’ve been trying to hold out hope for this as much as anyone, but this sounds like New York by virtue of someone who has never been to New York. Are people generally assholes? Sure. Like any major city. But the first question, IF he stopped the guy, and IF his name wasn’t already given to him ahead of time, not minding the retardedness of a cop living in a fifth avenue high rise, would be “who are you, and who are you here to see”.
The last thing a door man wants, assuming he worked at a place with that level of security, is to piss off the tenants for detaining or grilling an expected guest.
What a horrible crock of shit. Jesus Christ. Amazing how one single scene can fuck up my hope for a movie.
Idiots.
There’s no Daily Bugle in New york either.
Maybe your priorities were wrong.
Copland basically.
