R.I.P. Spiderman 4

It's Official: Tobey Maguire's Career is Over! After a few years of trying roles that aren't Spiderman, and then subsequently failing, any hopes of Tobey Maguire returning to the Spiderman franchise have been stomped out. Sony has announced that they are rebooting the Spiderman franchise with a new cast and crew. Now this pisses me off for several reasons, the first of which is that I know that Sam Raimi could've definitely made an amazing fourth film, seeing as he's gotten his groove back after Drag Me to Hell. So now he can go off and make that World of Warcraft film he's been signed on to direct. Tobey Maguire is the one who is really screwed by this news. After seeing Brothers, and deciding it just wasn't important enought to write a review for, I am convinced that Tobey Maguire really can't act in any role other than Spiderman. Among the others whom we will miss in the series are Bruce Campbell (God Bless Him), and Dylan Baker whose chances of being anything more than a cameo have been extinguished. To those who aren't avid geek followers of Spiderman lore, Dylan Baker's character eventually transforms into the villain known as the Lizard, but any hope of that special effect has certainly left the building. And to John Malkovich, whose role of The Vulture we will never see, I send my deepest regrets. So from now on I shall refer to Sony Pictures, or Columbia, or any other film studios that Sony owns, as Non-studios. Their only real franchise was Spiderman and now that that ship has more or less sailed they really aren't much of a Studio anymore. So shame on them and may they rot in hell! Thank you for listening.
