The Dukes of Hazzard movie was a perversion of the good-natured original. Knight Rider 2000 was a joke. But this takes disrespecting the original (and even the original movie trilogy) to a whole new level, because (just to clarify) there is nothing sexual about Spiderman or Peter Parker. Sometimes, it is really painful to listen to actors speak. This is a brilliant example. If he doesn't understand that Spiderman is about a tortured individual with the blessing/curse of having super-human powers, then he really has no business playing him. [Steps off soap box as rant is concluded].

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	Yeah that just sounds completely inapropriate for a movie based off of a franchise that has been a good and clean source of entertainment for kids for decades! In the same way that we don't care about Peter parker's life with Mj ( im all for the spidey action! ) we don't care about Parker's inner sexuality debate, that's just ridiculous.

Its the sexualization of something wholesome that is so wrong ... like you said, the wrong forum for sure. And the comments went way beyond suggesting spidey having feelings for men.

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	Yeah I don't mean to offend homosexuals at all, there's nothing wrong with that by my book. I was just saying that since spider man was always an action super hero story, what is really the point in exploring a superhero's sexuality? It wouldn't really be important at all unless the superhero was some satirical joke about something sexual-related, but that's another thing altogether!

It was so cringe-inducing watching Martin Sheen return to the same role too. The villain was forgettable, but most importantly Andrew Garfield was awful. Hope Hollywood execs and teen girls forget about him soon, so that he may fade away like Daniel Radcliffe, and soon to be Taylor Lautner. Many people hate on these guys just for their maniacal tween fanbases, but in all honesty they're one-trick-ponies who've both coasted for many years now. I give guys like Justin TImberlake or Shia LeBeouf props because I've seen performances where they've actually given a character depth just by their nuances, but in the case of Garfield? No. He obviously has no passion or remotely gives an ounce of respect or creativity towards Spiderman. It comes across in the movie, and yes it really is sickening to hear this attention-grubbing and absurd interview. I don't even like Spiderman, but I really want to punch this guy in the face. ..What an @$$hole. lol
