If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

The rumour has it that Hobgoblin in
Spider-Man 3 will be played by James Franco. So, unless they're going to introduce Harry's future self's evil twin brother's clone from alternate reality, the answer would be: "No".

Definitely. Franco's a good little actor, and matched DeNiro when he starred alongside him in City By the Sea.
I don't think Christensen's a bad actor neccessarily, its just that he doesn't do so well without thoughtful direction. (to be fair, Portman is also pretty vacuous in SW).

yeah, afer typing that i wondered if maybe Franco would also have sucked just becasue of Lucas's amazing ability to darw the charisma out of anyone on screen who isn't a green muppet.
But i seriusly can't imagine Farnco delievring some lines as badly as Christian did.

Interesting that Furman didn't like it, i wonder if Redstreak will come back and tekll him off.

Well, it1s all a matter of perspective,yes? Some people say Episode 1 was kick-ass...
![Very Happy :D](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
(I pity them)
Ihave nothing against Venom. He's not a black clone - he's an alien organism bonded to a hapless sod. And he's got fangs! So he's not asimple 'repaint'. Even in the terrible Spidey cartoon, Venom rocked.
Yeah, now I recall Sandman and especially the Mudman-fiasco...
My fav. Spidey villain is still the Lizard,though it'd be hard to make him a main villain. He'd be a good side-plot though, considering Dr. Connors already made appearances in the movies.

yes, but it would be wrong to constantly revel in our superiority.
2 or 3 times a day is enough.

That rules.
PS. As characters, I reckon Sandman = good, Venom = bad, and Harry as Hobgoblin = awesome. Looking forward to seeing Franco go Hobgoblin very much...if that happens.

Wish I was hungover. Boring Sat night.
I'll reword that post as I can see how it could be misconstrued. Sorry for the disappointment.
