The Hiring, Firing and Re-Hiring of Spider-Man
Obiwan Kenobi writes "Remember that rumor that Tobey McGuire was fired and Jake Gyllenhaal was going to be Spider-Man? Well, it's true. According to the LA Times, McGuire's unwillingness to reveal the extent of his back injuries from his last project (Seabiscuit) resulted in a huge power struggle that incurred the wrath of Universal president Ron Meyer (whose daughter is 'coincidentally' dating McGuire), a pissed off Sam Raimi, and a now-fired agent. Interesting read about the politics of making a big budget blockbuster." Really just a gossipy story frankly, but McGuire seems to be in for the sequel despite the back problems.
Normally puts you at a disadvantage.
Tobey - Do NOT dump this girl. You will pay dearly.
retrorocket.o not found, launch anyway?
Tobey Maguire is weak. Always remember, with great back injuries comes great take-wrecking painkillers.
Fine, you're a millionaire, this doesn't automatically mean you need to be a prick.. be thankful that someone actually pays to go see your stuff, and realize that without the studios/directors/producers there will be no film, and you woulnd't be getting jack..
Exactly, being a prick has nothing to do with money. I'm not even close to being a millionaire, and I have the art of being a prick down to.. well, an art.
These assholes in their fancy suits and expensive cars, staring in their stupid movies are giving pricks everywhere a bad name.
Dacels Jewelers can't be trusted.
Yes, but he was dating Gimli, so he kept the job.
In Soviet Russia, Toby Maguire is played by Spiderman.
Yes because girlfriends across america were thrilled with their boyfriend's salivating during the Dunst in a wet dress scene. I hear the director told her to bounce up and down like that... for the chick demographic.
I'm the big fish in the big pond bitch.
