It was a big weekend for movie going comic book fans. The Amazing Spider-man 2 dominated the weekend’s box office, earning a hefty $92 million. To fans and passive observers alike this should come as no surprise. The classic Marvel Comics character has been being talked about by everyone as the new film’s highly anticipated release date approached, and since big music players like Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams involved we at Clizbeats were no exception.

Being comic book fans ourselves, we joined right in the fun spotlighting Sony Pictures Entertainment feature called “Scoring Spidey” which details the soundtrack’s creation. We were totally geeking out, and we’re betting you will too. In addition to Pharrell and Zimmer, the video features appearances from the film’s cast members, Andrew Garfield, and Jamie Foxx, as well as the film’s director Marc Webb.

If your Spider sense is going crazy and that’s still not enough, the man himself, Andrew Garfield made music related headlines this past Saturday when he said that he didn’t like Beyonce. No, Andrew wasn’t hating on Mrs. Jay-Z, While hosting NBC’s Saturday Night Live, he joined the SNL cast in a digital short skit known as “Beygency.”

In the skit Garfield is shown with cast members at a dinner party setting talking casually about music. He then mentions that he doesn’t like “Drunken Love.” After he shared the news everyone freaked out, and “Men In Black” like figures began chasing him. It’s a good time. Check it out below Enjoy!
