Spider-Man: Homecoming is due out in July, as the film's new (and final) trailer just reminded us. Before we get to what's sure to be one of the most spectacular blockbuster hits of the year, though, we first have the NBA finals. Here's the good news for Peter Parker: it looks as though he's got an invite to a pretty swanky NBA Finals party. Just check out this cross-promotional ad — starring Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau — that Sony and Marvel put together with the NBA:
I'm pretty sure an NBA Finals party with Tony Stark would be unforgettable. Given how much Spider-Man geeked out at the chance to take part in the superhero "civil war," I'm pretty sure he'll be eagerly anticipating a chance to meet up with some of his fellow superheroes over chips and guacamole.
(The one catch? He kind of revealed his age to everybody during the airport battle, so nobody's going to let this teenager get drinks. Even if he is wearing a mask.)
I've always loved when studios relax and have a bit of fun as part of their marketing, and this promises to be one of the best examples yet. Sony's called the video "NBA Finals Spot #1" so dare we hope to see the buildup to the party in further videos? I can't help suspecting we'll see a case of the ol' Parker Luck. The kid's got an invite - and hopefully that means we'll get to see the party too.
Which superhero do you think Spider-Man would irritate the most at a party?

5 Feelgood Stories Of Kids In The Entertainment Industry
Viewers everywhere are still reeling from the horrifying revelations in the recent documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids' TV. The depth of Producer Dan Schneider's inappropriate behaviour around the sets of his Nickelodeon TV shows is apalling, even more so the series of missed warnings and adult failures that led to then-child star Drake Bell's sexual abuse at the hands of his acting coach, Brian Peck.

Five Underrated Mandalorians and Concept Designs for Cosplay
Within the vast realm of Star Wars, the Mandalorians hold a prominent position in the ranks of popular cosplay subjects. For over a decade, as a dedicated cosplayer, I have experienced great excitement upon encountering novel characters and character designs at conventions attended with my sister and friends. These endeavors exemplify the beauty of the art form, not only in bringing characters to life through the eyes of talented artists, but also in sparking immense joy among children and families who cherish the opportunity to see their beloved characters materialize. Moreover, witnessing the creative interpretations and personal touches that cosplayers infuse into their designs is a captivating spectacle on social media. Among the most frequently portrayed characters, I have observed Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, Hera Syndulla, and Duchess Satine Kryze. These portrayals serve as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the individuals who bring these characters to life.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
