Toby Maguire is a Muppet come to life (also indicting Joey)

Post by JuanHamm »

I watched spiderman 3 last night and all signs point to yes.

How anybody ever thought he could be a movie star is beyond me. The movie was OK, but every time he was on screen all I could do was laugh.

I love him in the Spidey movies. He’s perfect for the role.

Is spiderman supposed to be a 30-something man with no chin, whose only facial expression is "dopey smile"?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

“I swear on my mother’s life I have you beat,” he had said, convincingly and earnestly. “I wouldn’t lie to you, man.”

His opponent had gotten confused. I had watched him stare at the cards he was holding, knowing full well he had the winning hand but suddenly unsure after Tobey’s performance. Tobey was incredibly convincing, and so earnest that the guy eventually, although reluctantly, gave in.

To add insult to injury, Tobey then victoriously showed his bluff. To me, his actions were in really bad taste.
Shit talking during a poker game? What a monster.

There could be something worse in that article because I stopped reading after that part. What type of weeny do you have to be for that to upset you?
