I can't believe it, they picked the wrong fucking guy for spiderman movie!
 

so im in the theather last week, and I see the trailor for spiderman.....
now mind you, im sort of buzzed cause ive had a few beers....and as soon as the trailor for spiderman comes up, me and my friend turn to each other and yell at the same time "they picked the wrong guy to play spiderman"

this is a travesty. The guy thats in the movie is that kid who was in wonder boys.....he fucked up that movie, and hes gonna fuck up this movie

the casting director should be shot. fucking ididots

Mr T should have been casted the role of Spiderman.

cider house rules was a good movie.. he didnt fuck that one up.

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Maguire,+Tobey - his filmography

tobey fucked up wonder boys? get me some of that crack.. please

Was the casting director a female?

tobey?
i see, your on a first name basis with him now?
well, yes, he did fuck up wonderboys....but then again, that movie had the worst writing ive ever seen....
the potential for it being a good movie was there, but the script sucked balls, and your friend tobey couldnt act worth shit.

he was trying to sell the choir boy next door look, and he fucked that up

i fucked him.

err.. wait... i mean... umm....

shit.

i couldn't be assed spelling his last name..

choir boy??? wtf?? yeah maybe cause they both get ass fucked..

it wasn't a great movie.. but it was good.. and i frankly do not believe it's got the worst writing you've ever seen.. for a starters you seem to have believed the "duece biggalo" pissing loudly makes you dick sound bigger thing... so maybe you wouldn't recognise good writing if it fisted you anyways... stick with the SNL spinoffs..

I don't think they made the wrong choice.

Peter Parker was supposed to be a loser geek, so they picked the right guy to mimic that stereotype.

yeah.. but i still think he's a weird choice for the role.... i couldn't believe it when i first heard it.. maguire (is that any better meta? :)) is TOO MUCH of a reserved loser geek.. i dunno.. i guess i remember the comics and the tv series and it was just a little more frenetic than i think he can conjure up..

i never said deuce biggalow had good writing......lol
but you yourself are admiting that he is the wrong choice, so that is the point 8)

if they wanted to go with the loser/weird/geek look, they should have gone with the young guy from american beauty...

i cannot buy the fact that "tobey" is a superhero......im sorry, that is unacceptable

The worst writing?

I guess down in Alabama you guys prefer the Dukes of Hazzard.

they should've used Hulk Hogan.

Hmm...Anyone who has read spiderman comics would know that Peter Parker is a teenager. And this kid looks young as hell and he looks like he fits. I'll check it out and decide then. I just want to see him smoke Mary Jane!

Oh my god...they said the same damn thing about Keaton playing Batman... :Kissmy

Jamdin - I was about to post the same thing. If you haven't seen it yet how can you bitch from a trailer? The trailer for Star Wars Episode I was named the #1 trailer of all time but look how the actual film is remembered. Until you see it, it is hard to judge how he plays the character. He may just surprise everyone. I for one think he fits the role and I'm looking forward to seeing it Friday.

Amen!
I'm a lifelong comic book geek and I couldn't have made a better choice. Fuck being cool - let's try accurate for once.
See, the deal is, if Spidey was ever unmasked (and he has been in the comic book) nobody would ever believe geeky Peter Parker is really Spiderman.

it's not about being cool, or NOT being a loser geek.. just tobey is a weird choice in my mind because of how incredibly reserved he is.. im not saying he's not going to pull it off. and i do think it's way fucking cooler than getting some hunky love interest prat like prinze jr. (like every sci-fi movie ever fucked up by keanu).. i dig getting the geek out.. but he's always played such a hesitant morose character.. thats what suprised me..

I think he was the perfect choice to play the geek that is Peter Parker...he's not like Superman, who is basically an alien and already had these "strengths" as a kid...he's just a geek who gets bitten by a radioactive spider.......that was and is the appeal of Spiderman...he's just a dorky loser who goes through this miraculous change....and becomes a superhero...besides, the "action" scenes of Spidey are all cgi anyways....

I've already bought my advanced ticket for Friday.......I can't wait to see Sam raimi doing what he's good at...horror and comic book type movies...enough of that romantic chick flick shit like "For The Love Of The Game"........we need a Raimi helmed "Darkman 4" since 2 and 3 were such utter shite...........

And for my brilliant movie reviews, check out my new column hehehehhhehehe

They should have used Christopher Walken or Steve Buscemi

I would liked to have seen Walken as The Green Goblin....


speaking of bad casting, how about Nicholas Cage as the next Superman? yikes......

and while I love Ang Lee's work, but why is he doing the new Hulk movie? He makes great films, but they are of the romantic/high brow/grade a story variety......while I'm sure the movie will look good and be filmed well, I am worried about the faithfulness to the original source material........

hmmm, maybe we should take these movie discussions over to the Ain't It Cool website ;)))

Oh for fucks sake. Serious? Whats sick is someone probably thinks that is a good idea. The same people who liked Gone in 60 Seconds. Cattle.

Thats as bad as that MacGregor fag in Star Wars.

sad but true, but hopefully, they'll change their minds at the last minute.....

the original Gone In 60 Seconds was a pretty decent flick....the update? well...um...hey, it had Angelina Jolie.......I'm sure H.B. Halicky(sp?) is still spinning in hius grave over that one....

Why the fuck is Robert Deniro doing anything that comes down the pike lately. And Michael Caine, a master actor, has always done that.

The answer, obviously, is $.

WATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER?!?!?! WATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!?!?! :1orglaugh

i think steve buscemi would make the coolest superanti-hero ever..

im glad im not the only one who thinks nicholas cage is a dick.

Shit, I guess I picked the wrong role model.:1orglaugh

That's just wrong.. =\

speaking of bad casting, why the hell did they pick will smith to play Muhamad Ali? I think woody harrelson would have been a much better choice.

he did a fucking good job considering his previous efforts.

and i know it's not exactly a challenge for a wise cracking braggadocious black guy to play a wise cracking braggadocious black guy.. but this is the "fresh price" we're talking about.. the consumate b-grade actor actually turned in an a grade perfomance.

but once again i agree it was a weird choice.. only cause of how b-grade he is and relatively slim though... i did a double-take too.. you'd think with the whole hagiography thing they'd ply on the sugar and get a fat denzel or someone.. but it's not as bad as that.. still.. if you want to watch an ali movie.. rent "when we were kings" fucken' ace..

If anyone else had posted this I'd have thought they were being sarcastic. :thefinger

actually bro, i was trying to be sarcastic :)
woody harrilson = white
Ali = black
hehe

i think will smith was a risky choice, but he put out a performance that proved the casting people knew what they were doing....
unlike spiderman

LoL
ok, you beat me to it..but yes, i was being sarcastic. LoL
you guys are real funny though.....yeah, real funny

yeah it was risky..

btw on the topic of boxing - go Kostya!

MetaformX-

I'm not the one who always needs the obvious labelled in BIG BLACK LETTERS on my forehead........unlike some people I know who drink poncy alcopops and then rave about how they are the best alcoholic drink since the chinese invented rice wine.

BTW, I'm not your 'bro'....I'm female.:321GFY

There is talk now that Nicholas Cage will NOT be the next Superman. However, there is talk about him becoming Ghost Rider...

This just gets more disturbing..

I'd like to change my initial view.. Mr T just isn't right for Spiderman. Superman however... Think, they wouldn't even need special effects!


...You all know Mr T can fly right

beastiepoopoo
I was not reffering to you as "bro"...i was reffering to bheutcracy
By the way, didnt visa ban your kind? how come your still allowed to post on this board? LoL
