After Tobey's little emo phase and crying scene in the last movie, either they need to recast or a writer needs to be hauled up against a wall and have angsty poetry read at them until they're begging for mercy.

I didn't see the last movie, so I'd be fine with Tobey ^_^

But why? Those scenes were hilarious.

[Heron TSG]

The parts where it turned into a musical made me burst into chortles!

I guess an enlightened attitude for you guys should be "I disapprove of who you recast, but I will defend to the death your right to recast it."

I say they have no right to recast.  Whoever is doing the recasting should be dipped in magma.

Well, they have to recast. It's a reboot. Unfortunately they can't simply make a new Spiderman 3 and pretend the last one never happened.

[Josephus]

I've been assuming that the reboot is due to their desire to have the Spider-Man movies fit in with the larger Marvel Movieverse.

No, the reboot is because enough years have passed that a new generation of bastards has grown up enough to not know about the previous films and will beg their parents to go see it. Thus, profit. Art is dead.

Someone's clearly having a love affair with cynicism.

Don't act like it isn't true. We live in an age of reboots. Remakes of old films with the same name are the next big thing, because it brings profit without being original. And most people eat it right up, because they too are unoriginal. Being stagnant is simple.

Case in point: Death at a Funeral. Original is from the UK. It gets an American remake two years later - the only thing they changed aside from the actors (except for Peter Dinklage, playing the same part in both movies) was the inclusion of scatalogical humour. Some remakes try to reimagine the plot, change the culture, give the first movie some time to settle... nope. It was probably in pre-production before the original was on DVD.

Why, HOW DARE society behave as it always has! After all, the majority of people before were clearly MUCH MORE intelligent and informed! I am SHOCKED at how much society has NOT CHANGED AT ALL!

And here I was trying all topic not to compare black spiderman to Death at a Funeral.

[Retro]

Well, the remake of DaaF did a lot worse than the original, but it's totally unrelated to making the majority of the cast black. It was just badly done overall.

Poor Danny Glover, going from Lethal Weapon to being the self-depreciating comic relief this immature garbage. I hope he gets to old for this shit soon.

[Realmfighter]

Just watched the first episode of Static Shock.

This show is horrible.

I spent 2 days downloading it however, so what the hell.

[ein]

You downloaded all of them?
Why not do the sensible thing and try to watch them online?
