Spider-Man: Homecoming International Trailer #1 (2017) | Movieclips Trailers
Fans arrived at Comic-Con in their thousands this weekend being the first to see trailers for the next big cinematic releases before they hit the internet.
But some new clips from Thor: Ragnarok to Guardians of the Galaxy 2 were exclusive just to those attending.
Among them was the first Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer, which one naughty fan managed to film from the audience.
The video starts with Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, introducing the clip in his signature baseball cap.
However, from a closer inspection, the video is a very good fake with a number cuts near the beginning and scenes from previous Spider-Man films.
The real trailer showed Peter Parker in a science class watching YouTube footage of Giant Man from the airport battle in Captain America: Civil War.
The rest of it shows a montage of his day and high school, girls being infatuated by Spider-Man and shots of Spidey swinging from his webs.
But it"s the clip of Vulture falling from the sky towards the camera that caught the attention of fans.
The clip and new concept artwork confirms that Vulture will go head-to-head with Spidey in the new movie.
The villain is yet to appear in a Spider-Man film, with Homecoming being the sixth since Tobey Maguire"s debut in 2000.
The fake trailer started with a brief recap of what weve already seen of Hollands Spidey in Captain America: Civil War, including a shot of the Webslinger taking out Cap.
Fans in the audience then went wide when they saw Midtown High, where Peter Parker goes to school, followed by the line, Next July.
We then received our first glimpse of a Holland in glasses and shots of New York City, including the Oscorp Building owned by Norman Osborne, who becomes The Green Goblin.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is released in UK cinemas July 7, 2017.
Inside Supreme"s Underground Reselling Economy (Sold Out Pt. 1)
Supporters of Green Party candidate Jill Stein and the statewide presidential recount she requested in Michigan aren"t thrilled with state and federal court rulings that shut the process down as of Thursday morning.
The Green Party is expected to hold an "emergency rally" in front of the state Supreme Court building 2 p.m. Thursday at 925 W. Ottawa St. to protest a decision they consider unfair and potentially harmful to Michigan voters.
"The discrepancies we"ve discovered while counting votes so far are precisely the reason we need a recount in the first place," Green Party member Lou Novaksaid in a statement. "We will not back down from this fight now. The Michigan Supreme Court must do its job."
Curtains close on Michigan presidential recount following federal ruling
Attorneys for Jill Stein filed an application for leave to appeal to the michigan supreme Court Wednesday morning following a state Court of Appeals ruling ordering the Board of State Canvassers to stop the recount.
Stein also filed a motion in state court to disqualify Chief Supreme Court Justice Robert Young and Justice Joan Larsen from the case on grounds that both of them were on President-elect Donald Trump"s shortlist for U.S. Supreme Court nominations and therefore could have a vested interest in a Trump presidency.
It"s unclear whether the Michigan Supreme Court will take up the case, but it"s likely the last legal option left for Stein.
Judge clears way to end Michigan recount
The recount was allowed to begin Monday at noon after the Board of State Canvassers deadlocked in a 2-2 vote on an objection to the recount filed by Trump, and after U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith issued a temporary restraining order on the two-day waiting period required under state law.
That ruling was appealed to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld Goldsmith"s order but showed deference to the state courts on the legality of the recount itself.
Following that decision, the state Court of Appeals ordered the Board of State Canvassers to reject the recount in a Tuesday evening ruling. The board voted 3-1 Wednesday to halt the recount if Goldsmith lifted his previous order, which he did in a new ruling lifted Wednesday evening.
Board of State Canvassers vote to halt recount if federal court order is dissolved
Republicans declared victory in the legal battle Wednesday night, with the Michigan Republican Party and Attorney General Bill Schuette commending the decision.
Under a plan put forward by the Secretary of State"s office, 21 counties had started their recounts before the process was halted, and a few had already finished the recount, including Ingham and Kalamazoo.
Election results certified by the Board of State Canvassers last month had Trump beating Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan by 10,704 votes. Stein had 1.07 percent of the vote.
Although initial returns from the counties that had started the recount process didn"t show many substantial changes, concerns arose about the number of precincts deemed unrecountable under state law because of poll book irregularitiesand tampered seals or containers, particularly in Wayne County.
State lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have requested an investigation into the matter.

cute Garrett Clayton"s high gay voice, Teen Beach Movie
The mannequin challenge that warmed its way to everyone"s social media feeds was front and center during Hairspray Live! yep, even though the show took place in the 1960s and the viral video concept was one of the biggest trends of 2016.
When Maddie Baillio who plays the show"s lead Tracy Turnblad sang "i can hear the bells," her costar garrett Clayton as Link Larkin held his pose like a champ. Seriously, it was uncanny Garrett held his first look, which froze right after he and Tracy ran into each other, for well over a minute, with the camera panning over him for nearly the entire time.
This is the cast"s second mannequin challenge their initial two-minute take on the challenge gave fans a behind-the-scenes look of what it"s really like to be on set. In terms of fans" reviews of the production, this moment frozen in time has been their favorite so far. Brace yourself for major side-by-side mannequin and Hairspray hashtags to flood your feeds. Link Larkin or Ken Doll? We can barely tell a difference. (This is a compliment, TBH.)

Kevin Love & Richard Jefferson Postgame Interview | Cavs vs Raptors | Dec 5 | 2016-17 NBA Season
NEW YORK -- With two simple words, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue summed up both the tantalizing talent on his team and the reason that talent doesn"t always translate on the court the way he wants it to.
"Offensive-minded," Lue said when asked to describe the Cavs" identity at the one-quarter mark of the season, now 15-5 following a 126-94 drubbing of the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
The win was another example of the offensive exploits of LeBron James (25 points in 32 minutes), Kyrie Irving (28 points in 30 minutes) and Kevin Love (21 points in 27 minutes) -- the sixth time all three went for 20-plus points in the same game this season. The rest of the team poured it on as well, combining to set a season high in 3s by going 22-of-40 from deep.
It was the type of performance -- if you looked only at the offense -- that has caused Lue some concern in the early part of the season.
"You know, it comes easy for those guys," Lue said before the game. "And when it comes easy we tend to get caught up in the just back-and-forth instead of getting stops and taking on that tough grind-it-out game. So, I mean, when you got guys like Kyrie, Bron and Kevin who can score so easy, sometimes that just [becomes], "Oh, you scored, but we know we can score the basketball." So now we got to get back to playing Cavaliers basketball."
Then Cleveland went out and held its opponent to under 100 points and sub-42 percent shooting (its nightly goals) for the first time in six games; it swiped 11 steals, one short of its season high; and it took care of business inside by controlling the rebounding battle (46-43) and holding the Knicks to 28 points in the paint after Chicago abused the Cavs at the rim to the tune of 78 points less than a week ago.
"I mean, you can"t rely on that," James said afterward when asked about the offensive potency of his group. "And obviously we have some great 3-point shooters and guys that can really spread the floor and make shots, but we try not to rely on it. We got to rely on defense. Our defense is what gets us out in the open court, what gets us spread, what gets us in a rhythm."

The Cavs came into the night tied for fourth in points per game (110.3) and alone in fourth in offensive efficiency. Meanwhile they were 17th in opponents" points allowed (105.1) and 17th in opponents" field goal percentage (45.0).
If there is one area the Cavs can improve in, it"s defense. And with Golden State looming in the West -- with Klay Thompson dropping 60-spots and Kevin Durant enjoying the most efficient season of his career, making two-time MVP Stephen Curry the third option at times -- defense will be paramount should Cavs-Warriors III happen in June.
In a way, that makes guys like Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert and the newly christened starting shooting guard DeAndre Liggins (while J.R. Smith recovers from a left knee injury) just as important as the Big Three. They have to bring the defense that allows those stars to shine on the other end.
"Bringing the defensive edge, being disruptive," Liggins said, describing his marching orders in Smith"s stead.
It is making a difference, as the Cavs have won their last two games with Liggins taking a bigger role. Before that, they had dropped three in a row.
"He doesn"t need much out on the floor," James said. "I think it starts with just his defensive mindset. His ability to pick up guys 94 feet and just get them out their rhythm and things of that nature, and he"s always around the ball giving us a great boost the last couple games and we"re going to need that moving forward."
Thompson, who finished one shy of his career high with 20 rebounds against the Knicks, also figures into that defensive mix.

"For me, looking at those losses, the ways I could have been better was protecting the rim and rebounding and limiting teams to only one shot," he said. "Those games, teams outrebounded us and I take responsibility in that because that"s my role and that"s what I bring to this team. Whenever we have games where we get outrebounded, I take that real personal. So I just had to be better."
With things being so easy for the Cavs since that epic comeback against the Warriors -- all the adulation, all the contract extensions, all the early season wins stacking up -- the real challenge is now drumming up the proper urgency for their title defense by, well, bettering the defense.
"Just continue to show them the mistakes they"re making, but also show them the things that they"re doing right," Lue said of how he plans to keep the Cavs" D locked in. "Keep hitting them with it."
