Kirsten melady, thou dost flatter thyself much methinks. Getest over thyself.

Kidding.

Frankly, I've always hoped Spidey would be a three-and-out franchise. And everything I've heard about this third film indicates that it would be a helluva note to go out on.

I think Sam is an infinitely better director for The Hobbit than Jackson (and I love Jacksons Rings movies, so don't call me a hater). I just think he has an understanding of what that book is that Jackson has not demonstrated at all in his discussions of how he'd handle it.

As for Dunst, wow...she thinks an awful lot of herself, huh?

Look at what they (Marvel) are doing with the Hulk franchise. Flushing everything and (apparently) starting over. I'd hate to see that happen to Spidey, but it's not like the suits haven't demonstrated the willingness and the capacity.

Two. Wait a few years and start again, make a new version with different sensibilities, a different angle. New actors, new look etc. Thats what they do in comics, have several versions of each franchise running, trying different ways of doing the same thing. I love Rami's vision but that doesn't mean another director couldn't create something compleatly different and equal.

It's the same as the way i feel about re-makes, i welcome different artists creating works on the same idea, each one defined by the time in which it is made. We never complain that people still put on new productions of Shakespear's work or that a lot of artists paint similar things. The basic story line or concept of a film is simply a skeleton on which a thousand different ideas can be built.

But not this run, he should be the start of a new Spidey franchise, he's too different from Maguire.

Levitt should be a cooler Parker, one who is a bit reckless and likes to have fun.

LOTR did and it needed that, and seeing as The Hobbit is essentially a story about the loss of innocence , it needs that weightiness. I just don't see that Raimi has that in him.

If they started doing this then maybe hollywood would realise they could have succesful movies without trying to drain every last drop out of the same talent until they ruin it.

I'd love to see a new actor try Spidey every few years.

"It would be a flop without me"? I got news for you, sweetheart, there's a whole shitload of fans out here who NEVER thought you should have been cast in the first place and who think YOU are one of the few bad things in the films to date, since MJ was always supposed to be an uber HOT looking girl...which, frankly, you are not. So going on without you and recasting MJ would actually be a cause for celebration!

If this was a studio controlled picture we'd have Fantastic 4 instead the studio took a risk, let Rami include depth, characterization and real heart at the risk of turning off younger viewers who can't sit for more than 5 mins woithout an explosion.

If your girlfriend asks such obvious questions I hate to think what she'd be like watching The Terminator or something... "Is Arnie supposed to be a robot?'

The reason why it is good to have Parker as a bit of a geek is that it makes him more relatable to. Most of us are cooler than him and it allows us to see things from his level and makes his alter ego more of a juxtaposition.

i admit i would be kinda sad to see Raimi go for a couple of reasons. 1. he has proven he knows his shit and makes these films a lot of fun. 2. i personally have always loved his style and that hospital scene in SM2 just reminded me of why i was happy he got the gig in the first place. 3. whp the fuck knows what could happen with a new director. i mean, we could have another joel schumacher step in or a McG. lord help us if Singe gets it...spidey will keep the black costume and it will inexplicibley have a ballgag in the mouth.

Whatever. Brilliant casting guys. I always loved Silver Sable. Badass chick.

I would love to see Lizard and Kraven in the next one. I actually really thought they were going to do more with Conners in 2 leading up to Lizard in 3. Oh well.

I too love the team up idea. Crossover or whatever. It could work well and could be done right.

As far as the dating of one's digits, all these guys putting her down couldn't get a woman who looks half as good as K.D. does. Sometimes the anonynimity these TB's provide bring the bullsh*t in people.

I gotta go ahead and disagree though, I think K.D. has a certain appeal. She may not be supermodel hot but she's alright.

Tobey was one of the good fits for Parker and Spidey, I'll give 'em that, then Franco for Osborne, I don't think they could of chose a better actor, Same for Molina as Doc Oc, and Dafoe for Goblin (should've kicked the Goblin suit right off the set but the actor choice was good). Heck Harris is great has aunt May, and Haden Church and Topher Grace will need to pull their respective roles in the next chapter, but I can see why they were cast.

Dunst is the one choice I’m looking at and saying to myself “This ain’t no girl that will turn heads walking down the streets… That ain’t no Mary Jane!”

If anyone one of the cast members needs to sit the next couple of films out, it’s her.

Sony can replace anyone anyways and make a profit of the next movie. Like a lot of people said, Jake G could be a good choice, or I’m even thinking that if they go for a little more bulk and an older 30ish look to Peter, Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica has that look that could make Peter a little older than the College years. They could move forward a couple of years on the character with this guy. But that’s just a personal thought on the Peter Parker Subjects.

Dunst, hell about any 6 out of 10 stars redhead actress could fill in and make the character more attractive that those weird teeth and that crocked eye of hers that just screams out when your sitting there trying to watch the damn movie.

Raimi did thing to the characters that a lot of people didn’t like, the organic web just to mention one. But he still did a decent job in some of the character’s traits. Yet he too could easily be replaced by another director, Sony has a bunch of them on stand-by for a franchise like this. Who would’nt want to go for a billion dollar franchise that can’t go wrong, unless you change the color of the costume, take away the spidey emblems on his back, make him disappear for 7 years and then make him a voyeur spying on his ex-girlfriend that had a kid with him that she just loves to put in the middle of dangerous situations and a bunch of shitty things like that. No, they’ll leave that for other franchises. I think Stan Lee’s approval of the Raimi changes was a good choice. They didn’t go way off, so anyone coming in this project doesn’t need to re-invent the wheel to make the franchise good. They just need to continue what is already in play.

Hulk is getting a facelift so they don’t need to continue the dramatically incorrect portrayals of the character by making the Hulk a gene defect in Bruce, or his father being the same way or all those little things that just didn’t make it a great movie. They know that it need to be done from the start all over again and I’m guessing they didn’t like that.

WB are basically sleeping at the wheel. For a movie that should’ve beaten Spidey’s opening record they barely got their money back, and they still approve of Singer for the next one.. One that I won’t be making the same mistake, I won’t be buying the 10$ ticket this time around.

Spidey only needs to move forward. Whether Tobey will be asking way too much money, or that my wishes of Dunst being unable to continue with the series or Raimi jumping aboard the biggest walking franchise in history and not coming to do one more, I’ll be there buying the next 10$ ticket. I’m betting Sony or Marvel will not give this to a Director that could potentially kill it like Joel Schumacher did for the Batman franchise, which was still sorta working even after the whole Penguin story. Schumi just blew it apart, and I’m betting Marvel isn’t about to that to Spidey.
