Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Hanging out in Bay Ridge! (Reddit)

Here's a new twist to make the sequel to the lackluster reboot of Spider-Man more interesting: If you manage to get yourself down to Bensonhurst before 2 a.m. tomorrow morning, you might catch a glimpse of Andrew Garfield or Emma Stone as they shoot The Amazing Spider-Man 2: London Calling.

Well, according to the intrepid Redditors who went to the scene earlier this morning, the trucks have already departed, though they still have a permit to come back and shoot until well into the wee hours.

This fits with the stealth model of shooting that the sequel has kept up for the best month or so, showing up with permit signs in Queens and the UES before being quickly whisked away, with no one able to gather photographic evidence of any of the stars milling about.

The casting notices for extras list exterior shots running all the way through May 20 in New York, so it's inexplicable what kind of London is doing the calling here. It's pretty difficult to confuse Piccadilly Circus with Dyker Beach Park, but what do we know?

You know???? (HBO)

I'm not sure if we have a term in the English language for something like the singularity, except it happens when Craigslist ads for reality shows based on better scripted programs become self-aware, but if we did, the world we lived in would be even sadder. (Presumably because that means this phenomenon happened enough to deserve its own entry in Webster's.) 

So just be glad that the Emmy-Award winning producers behind this new program about Brooklyn/downtown Manhattan hipsters 20-somethings who are trying to figure it all out can only have the one reference like this:

"Are you thinking about that show--Girls? Well we didn't say it, but now that you mention it..."

YOU ARE NOT OFF THE HOOK JUST BECAUSE YOU JOKINGLY ADMIT TO ENCOURAGING YOUNG WOMEN TO ASPIRE TO BE HANNAH HORVATH.

Sorry, we just needed to get that off of our chest. We'll see you at the casting call...calling dibs on Shoshanna right now!

And like many programs on the CW (Smallville, The Carrie Diaries) and comic book characters (Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman,) the show will be a revised origin story of the woman with the magic lasso. But can you make the cut in casting?

According to Deadline Hollywood, the actress in mind for the starring role will be "in their early to mid-20s (and) are 5'8 or taller."

Here's the role's breakdown. courtesy of Screenrant (And yes, the "codename" of Diana is Iris, so don't be confused):

“She comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted ­and just as often horrified ­ by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling ­to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see ­and things to learn ­and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.”

Wait, are we SURE this isn't just The Carrie Diaries? Because replace "secluded country" with Connecticut, and this could be the description of Candace Bushnell's latest series. All post-tweens should apply.

Are you ready for the second season of HBO's 'Girls,' Bob Ross-lookalikes, "Muffle Car"-owners, and unicycling hipsters?

Then, wow, do we have a job for you:

Why hire a hipster when they can just get this kid? (Don't answer that, Leslie Arfin.) Surely, however, this one is more specific:

Note "Bob Ross Types," which ideally isn't exclusive to just "People Who Look Like Bob Ross." Helpful hint: We're pretty sure these guys frequent the bar pickup scene at Andrew Tarlow restaurants on late weekday afternoons. Finally:

We have no idea what a "Muffle Car" is, but we're obviously not spending enough time amongst Greenpoint's flourishing steampunk scene. All of you beautiful, freaky people, go with god, and answer your call. The second season of Girls is the closest you're ever going to get to a third season of Carnivale. Now's your chance.
