Fish of the Year - Branzino - NYTimes.com Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man" is, for nearly all of its running time, a typical superhero movie. But there is this moment - the most unlikely few minutes you'll see this year. Gwen Stacy asks Peter Parker if he likes branzino: you know, "Like, the fish?" Then she invites him to dinner, where everyone is saying "branzino": Denis Leary (playing Gwen's dad), Peter, Gwen again. We see a full branzino at the dinner table, neatly plated. Why branzino? The film never says - it just offers up this delightful serving of unexpected weirdness.
