The official "Did you know/Fun facts" thread

[shadow_spidey]

I am creating this thread for, well knowledge really. It's where members on here can tell knowledge from the films and comics and cartoons. This is not a trivia thread. Just so everyone knows. Get things from the DVDs, they have the most. I'm going to tell about 10 or less in a few minutes. Maybe over two hours.

Cool, I'll see if I can find some.

I dont know about this but a friend of my dads daughter was an extra for spider-man 3. she said tobey was never in the costume, except for the last scene, but yea. And she also said that sam was kindof yelling at people when she was there.

[shadow_spidey]

Thanks.

1. On the commentary for "Spider-Man." With Sam Raimi, Grant Curtis, Laura Ziskin & Kirsten Dunst. Sam & Grant are talking in a different plase at a different time.

2. Sam likes to have two editors two edit his films. He had to versions of "Spider-Man." He then watches them back to back. Then what Laura said what he does, is "SMOOSHES" them together.

3. When Kirsten was watching the film while making the commentary back in 2002. She said that the "Spider-Man's" main titles, were "The best title sequences she had ever seen in her entire life!"

4. Grant's favorite day on the set; was showing Stan Lee the Times Square set. He said that Stan was very pleased with it.

5. About a minute before Tobey get onto the bus, the pople walking on the sdie walk is Sam's bother and family; Ivan Raimi. He's a doctor. He also help contribute ideas to all the Spider-Man films.

6. The room where the SPIDERS are. Was shot in Natural History Museum of Las Angeles, at 2:00 am in the morning in the Winter.

7. Peter's room's wallpaper, is actually made-up of about 2 inch spider webs looking things. That was Neil Spisak the Production Designer of all three films, little secret.

8. Origianlly after Peter's hand sticking and ripping off the banner. A truck was going to almost hit him, and he would jump into the air and come back down to the ground. But it was cut for time.

9. Sam took Danny Elfman to Osborn's mansion. Dann said to Sam I want to live here. Sam said, why? That's the home of the villain, you don't want to live there. But remember, for us Danny fans or know a lot about Danny. He like villains, and he has the most fun with their themes. The villains always have the best theme, most of the time.

10. Bernard; portrayed by John Paxton. Is the father of actor Bill Paxton.

Thanks for telling, I guess. Just so everyone knows, not to be mean Chipper. But don't say sort of bad things. He most liekly was something called "Directing." Also, sometimes directors have to have a bullhorn.

I listen to the "Commentaries." Like everyone else should. I made a bloody thread about it, to make people listen to them. Ha!!! Now what do you think people? I know all this knowledge. I'm kidding. Not about the listening part, please do that. http://boards.sonypictures.com/spide...ad.php?t=17012

The "Spidey Sense" helps a lot. I also read.

That doesn't even make sense, at all. Please stop posting things that are not about the thread you're posting in. Back on topic, if you please? Thank you.

No fighting. Thanks. You're both right. Psycho a bit more, because Stan has said that story ever since. That means that the true story. Nuff said. I'll be posting more in a few minutes.

i rest my case.

and btw, we weren't fighting.

[LudaChris]

We weren't fighting
But just because Stan said it, doesn't mean its true. He even said once that he's said it so much during interviews that it might not even be true.

[Spider Rider]

that stan lee had wanted to play jonah when they made the spiderman movie
